There's this huge spider that showed up and built a web right over the door of my workplace a few days ago. I've been keeping an eye on him but constantly advocating leaving him alone because he's not even a dangerous kind of spider. Well tonight he got offended by a new person standing in the doorway and tried to descend right onto their head, so I decided he was no longer welcome here and had to go. So I got this really powerful spider poison out, I've seen someone hit a black widow with it and it dropped out of its web instantly.

I sprayed it, and it descended on a web to try to escape the poison. And I sprayed it and sprayed it and sprayed it again. It climbed back up, descended down again, crawled up the wall, ran all around. It was awful, and I was starting to freak out. It's obvious how much it seriously did not want to die. I kept on spraying until I got a blister on my finger and I'm still fucking shaking.

How the hell do "people" kill for a living? How can you be a carnist? How soulless do you have to be to be okay with killing? This has ruined my whole night and it was one fucking bug killed in self defense.

      Not a redditor just very hypersus about the immediate go to of the bug spray, something I have never done in my entire life nor would I keep on hand. If I'm gonna kill a spider (assuming it is "necessary") I would choose literally any other means. Going all rambo with bug spray is what gave me sus vibes and I stick by my assumption this was bait. Like a little harmless spider is 9 feet away and you go spraying deadly forever chemicals all over to kill it after you already prevented it from the infinitesimally small chance it was going to harm the person that got in its way? And sure you can feel bad about that but the tone of this post seems to seek to be absolved from this than actually just being remorseful over not just killing it but the fact that they also state that is something they have done before. This was bait and I can't believe it isn't more obvious.

        they also state that is something they have done before.

        Love to just openly, blatantly lie about other people. Definitely not the one trolling btw

          Sorry you were fine with using deadly chemicals to kill spiders before. My mistake in wording.

            Why are you still lying? Why aren't you banned yet?

            What part of "I was actively telling the coworker not to kill the spider and to leave it alone" signals me being fine with killing that spider before?

              You're missing the point I am making where it retreated to the ceiling according to your own words and you ran and grabbed a horrible pesticide and hosed down the entrance to your work to kill a spider that was no longer an immediate threat.

                No, you're just not making a point at all. You are trolling.

                    Bro I literally have not changed my story once, every time you "catch me" in a contradiction I point out that you literally either made it up or misread something I said. Your response to those is always either to make up something else or change the topic entirely. You must be drunk or something because you're just hitting me with constant non-sequiturs and pretending they're airtight gotchas. Like what does your first sentence in this comment have to do with the comment it is replying to? Literally nothing. I have stayed and restated several times that, yes, my actions were self-defense.

                      No I am saying that the fact that you thought it necessary to grab a can of super toxic chemicals and hose down the front of your workplace over a spider that was by your own account 9 feet away outside was somehow "self defense" which is what your initial claim was which is patently absurd.

                        The spider dying was necessary. I thought the poison was the fastest and least stressful (for all involved) way to do that, due to prior experience witnessing the effect of said poison. None of this has changed in my story you just can't fucking read.

                          it was 9 feet outside the door how was this necessary?

                          I have read everything you have said btw.

                          Also nobody should ever use insecticide on one single spider (or ever for that matter) that probably would not be a threat to anyone.
