In general I have no fear of spiders, but this is a real reason NOT to live in Australia

I give you the Huntsman spider which grows to 1 foot long. It is occasionally found hiding and living in houses with people.
Nope nope nope

Nuke or napalm?

I feel like 50% of the land and sea creatures in Australia are terrifying and deadly

Nah, I’m good. I’ll work in telephone terminals all day with black widows looking at me, but, seriously, frick a spider that big.

Unless you're a mouse as pictured I hear those things are actually pretty harmless.

These things can't kill you though. The size of their fangs would hurt like a bitch but their venom isn't deadly to humans.

and another reason to add to your reason: (also from Australia)

My parents used to get YUGE wolf spiders in their house. Those things are massive

God knew what he was doing when he made that terror pit an island

I have a fear of being surprised by a spider. If I see it...I'm good with it.

I'd rather get sacked by Suh or jadveon then have a spider near me

I’m not kidding when I say this. If I were convicted of a crime, and the judge told me I have a choice to spend one year at Angola prison or one year in the finest mansion and nicest neighborhood in Australia, I would have to really think about it.
Everything horrifying lives in Australia. Most poisonous insects, snakes and deadliest everything else.
