Recent arachnid glut in post pics of your pet kinda brought up a new question of mine. I grew up with a dilapidated wood shed, a pile of scrap lumber and a stack of fire wood in the back yard, so naturally spiders would slip inside now and then. I didn't actually bang my shoes out then, but it became a force of habit that gradually developed during my early 20's as I thought about it, took hold and never disappeared.

So far, zero spiders have been flung out in disarray, but it has dislodged its share of debris.

Between this, changing thread titles, and reformatting OP's, it's clear to me you have some sort of OCD.

O and no of course.

I will feel bad about the spider in my shoe that I will never have known existed after it gets crushed by my feet

No, only time a bang my shoes is if I i want to get rid of the sand that got in it or to get rid of the mud still stuck to the bottom of my shoes.

Sometimes.  Probably should do it more as we've brown recluse spiders in these parts.  I hate those fuckers.

Then they should drink some beer or liquor to warm them up. I'd be happy to give them some, I always wanted to know how a drunk spider acts.

Edit: I already know what happens when they are drugged, I wanna see them drunk though.

I live in Florida (where the weather is warm all ready).  They absolutely mess with people.  Now I do like the banana spiders.  They have little white skulls on em..

I've always been under the impression that spiders stay away from stuff that gets relatively heavy use by people...but a few years ago I had a black widow fall out from the handle of a gas pump I was using!  I felt something brush past my finger, looked down, and a widow was crawling around by my feet...ever since then, I've been a lot more paranoid about spiders in general. 

If I don't wear shoes for more than a couple of weeks I shake them out...if I don't wear a jacket for months, I check it for spiders...same with guest beds that have been made but not used for some time.

At least we don't have Australian spiders here...I probably wouldn't sleep much in funnel web territory.

ok..I will have to show this to B when I am too afraid to pump gas from now on...LOL.

I am terrified of spiders and I do check my shoes. 

As someone pointed out...Brown Recluses are bad news and I grew up with them getting in our house on occasion.  And I have nightmares about them to this day.
