I mean if you’ve ever come across a freaking huntsman spider running across the ceiling of your car going 100km/h down the freeway *shudder* I’d get it. Have to admit I have no idea how large english spiders.
I absolutely agree she’s a drama queen, but phobias also aren’t something to be trivialised for many people, either. My best friend and I went all the from kindergarten through to high school together and she is now a vet surgeon/professor/PhD lady/international college of fancy vet peeps (basically one of those people that never stops studying and has 45 million abbreviations next to their name. She can run University lectures, she has written books, she runs a huge emergency clinic. With animals. But get near her with a spider? She’s *poof* GONE.
When we moved out of home we moved down near the vet emergency hospital where students did their placements. She came running in the door one day freaking out because she walked through a spider web and wanted me to check if she has one on her. I didn’t even know after all those years she was so terrified of them and I thought it’d be funny to point and pretend there was.. she instantly started screaming and crying and running around the room jumping up and down and the more I tried to calm her down, the more she thought I was trying to tell her there was a spider. It took me forever to calm her down and I NEVER did something like that to anyone again. Last person on earth I’d think would be scared of spiders!
If I heard someone screaming in my own block of flats late at night, in a place I knew was relatively safe most of the time and they knocked on my door, I’d just freaking look out the peep hole to see who it was first and then *help* that’s what neighbours are for, even late at night.
Because
with a little understanding, you can find the perfect bleeeeeeend
that’s when good neighbours, become good friends
Excuse me, lockdown is getting to me.. I’ll see myself out
