I'm afraid of spiders. VERY afraid. The last thing I want is one of my friends explaining hoe harmless they are, and showing off their pet arachnids. I know they can't hurt me, but I want nothing to do with them.

I unfortunately have that same fear of spiders and bugs. Although, I recognize it is unreasonable as I'm sure you do. I would be fine visiting a friend with spiders but don't put it on me!
I once had a boyfriend who had a rosy and he made the mistake of sitting it on my leg. Needless to say it was OVER!
