Iv never been scared of spiders but I never assumed the bite when I was younger , I know people who have been driving and jumped out of moving cars because of as spider and felt they were justified
I hate spiders but the one thing I hate more is an ineffectual coward who can't handle a spider/bug/whatever.
I see a spider I kill it, but if someone is one of those screamers who can't stomp one out, I hate them a little bit more.
Scared of something, do something about it.
I'd never jump out of a car, but I'd drive and swat at the same time.
Don't just scream and await the better man's rescue.
