Meh, you poor guy... I know how you feel. Honestly, if you don't have a phobia you just cannot imagine anything like it. It's like, some completely unreasonably, unexplainable utter terror of something. I mean, for me...Centipedes, fine. Maggots, a doddle. Killer stag beetles with 6in pincers, cool dude, no problem. But spiders, even like teeeny ones... OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! It's just so weird, the world stops moving and you can't breathe, everything is shimmering, you can't stop crying and yelling and it's damned well not funny.... Meh I was at a party once, a year or so ago, we were playing Murder-In-The-Dark at a mate's house, in case you don't know it's hide and seek after sunset and there's only one light on in the whole house. Anyway I was standing at the top of the stairs, facing the room opposite, and someone tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around, WILD PANIC!!! ok so the tarantular was plastic but ot was hanging in the light from downstairs, I just yelled and screamed and it was on my head omg...then I ran downstairs crying my head off and he got it serious trouble. Ha. Serves his right. (ok for payment I put a REAL mouse in his bed on school trip. Serves his right. Omg was hilarious!)
