I wasn't scared of spiders. I was a childhood naturalist. I put them in a small gauge wire cage and watched them. Pretty much watched them die because I put some celery in there or whatever. Saw some moths do camouflage, and caterpillar worms do their thing metamorphosing. Just never touched a spider.

Until I got fired as fuck! Then I took a job as an exterminator and I had webs and spiders all over me from crawling under houses and doing downtown business infested with American cockroach. They were hilarious, paid very well.

Now I'm kinda freaked out by spiders again. Its funny what a person will block to make money.
