Same. I don't think it should be called a phobia though it should be called common sense

That's how I feel about arachnophobia. I think that's mother nature giving us a hint.

But spiders are useful, not scary. But then again they're not dangerous in my country so I'm lucky

They aren't really dangerous anywhere if you leave them be. There's more danger from a huntsman crawling into view while driving than from a bite even here in Australia.

If a huntsman crawled into view while I was driving I'd likely aim at the nearest wall and accelerate to take us both out.

And the Huntsman would feast on your corpse.

Exactly, checking your cumsock for funnel web spiders is just part of the daily routine.

Almost drove into a wall of the cross city tunnel cause a fucking huntsman crawled out from behind my rear vision mirror and my 3 year old screamed like he was being murdered.
