I have a quick story. I was working from home during covid, sitting on my couch in front of my laptop. I was alone...when out of my peripheral I picked up the biggest wolf spider I have ever seen comically wobble-running, his body unusually high, and legs seemingly drawn in, running from the kitchen to...UNDER THE LIVING ROOM COUCH. And there he stayed for three days, under the couch and in my mind. I did not sit on the couch for two days. Instead I worked from my bedroom. Occasionally I would sneak downstairs to watch the couch. I could not force myself to sit on the couch. I was petrified, and I hated it. Just before lunch on the third day I soaked cotton balls in a smelly oil and tossed them under the couch. I read online that spiders did not like this, and that he would certainly vacate the area. As I waited, my son came home for lunch. He was upstairs in his room, and I was downstairs in the kitchen when it happened. Around the corner came the same comically wobbling monster...running frantically...and I was shoeless and frozen! I heard myself yelling for my son, "Tyler! Tyler! Tyler! I NEED YOUR HELP!" He came barreling down the stairs not knowing what to expect, and came face to face to the beast. I could tell by his expression that he was also creeped out, but at least he was wearing shoes. "KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!" I yelled (realizing what a baby I was being, but unable to be an adult). He grabbed a magazine and smacked it, immediately killing it, and ending my nightmare....mostly. I still get chills thinking about it. If this sounds overly dramatic to you I agree, but imagine being that afraid of something so small and harmless. I have an unreasonable fear of these things. I am a thinking giant and can easily destroy them, but instead I live in fear of them.
