Scared of Spiders? What if this tried to attack you?

About 4 months ago I dropped my Orbit gum on the floor and went to pick it up. I was then attacked by this spider which tried to bite my hand. I did a back flip over my computer chair, wiped the poop out of my pants, and caught it. I identified it as a "Brown Huntsman" and concluded that it came in a box that was shipped to me online.
Think you'd poop yourself if this came at you?

I had an experience like that... But I ended up punching an alligator too hard and now I have to wear a wrist brace.

You think thats scary go to Australia, if your A tourist you have to watch out for every F**ker that comes around. My mate told me that i nearly got bitten by a white back spider (what they call it) that doesnt poison but gives you white SPots that never go away. a few people confirmed this.

Good thing I live in Canada, we don't get freaky spiders like that because of winter.

Florida, We have spiders but none to be concerned of, besides wolf spiders.. f**k huge but not poisonus.
In my old house, they were everywhere, because i lived in what some would call poverty, (and my real father is a peice of sh*t) I remember them so well.

Alright thats a bit more scary ahah. But no one can't say they aren't scared of Solifugae's (Camel Spiders.) My father was in the military and told me about them / pictures. Freaking scary, they jump and spit I believe and almost every night they would wake up with them in there sleeping beds. Scary as fck!

We have wolf spiders in Michigan too and some can get pretty darn big but they aren't really worth "worrying" over, like Puncharger says. But yeah .Yunoko, Michigan doesn't get big spiders because of the winter as well but this thing was sent to me in a box I ordered from Texas I believe. Normally they don't attack humans but he came right for me... I guess out of anger from dropping my gun near him.
I should also mention that his abdomen was hurt during capturing him and a lot of fluid drained out. His abdomen WAS easily twice the size of his carapace (body) but it got smaller and smaller and he died.
This was the largest spider I've ever seen with my own two eyes because we simply don't get spiders this big in Michigan. And for those of you that didn't realize, that's a 0.50 cent piece in the picture - not a quarter.

I thought that thang was a quarter, not a 50 cent peice.
Note how I said 50 cent peice. A .50 cent peice would be 100 times less expensive.

Yeah... needless to say, I knew at first that it wasn't a wolf spider... but if I went to my friends and said, "OMFG GUYS THE BIGGEST SPIDER I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE ATTACKED ME THE OTHER DAY!!! IT WAS TWICE THE SIZE OF A 0.50 CENT PIECE!!! OMFG!!!...
... well... if I did that, they'd laugh it off. I had to catch the thing... but yeah... that's not a quarter... and that's no ordinary spider from Michigan - that's for damn sure.

well, we locked my brother in the bathroom (when he was small about 8 years ago) and the roaches invaded. more than 20 roaches started to come. and my brother screamed. we opened the door and sprayed all of them.
