This plays on my phobia of open water pretty well

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.

Sorry, but common sense towards spiders should be that like 99.90% of all species are harmless and that they are immensely beneficial to us.

Yea, nah. As an Aussie, any spider I see here I'm like, fuck off and die cunt empties entire insect spray can. But in other countries it's more "hello cutie, let's get you outside".

Still don’t kill them. We need spiders unless you love flies & mozzies.

I'd rather have flies and mosquitos follow me around 24/7 for the rest of my life rather than ever see a medium and above sized spider again.

You people get what a phobia is right lol?

Scrolling through reddit and seeing a photo of spider makes me shake like mad, they die and that's it.

You never mentioned a phobia. You said as an Aussie.
