I'm guessing they're tourists, we usually just ignore them and crank up the barbie
Edit: this is my first time on front page, thank you all for being wonderful and making me laugh

Why is the button under the keyboard? Wouldn't you accidentally nuke yourself from orbit when you began typing?

Beats me- I don't make the gifs yo

Couldn't get off the toilet fast enough. This gave me an irrational fear that this spider was going to crawl up on my wobbly bits.
Kangawallafox
I'm sorry but that made me laugh +1

That's what Shotguns are for

If these people are Australian they should be ashamed no self respecting Aussie would let a huntsman scare them
iammonstertruck
As nice as they are, a fuckoff big huntsman is still pretty fucking startling when they zoom past you.
tooomanysteves
Might be a Queensland whistling tarantula instead (Selenocosmia crassipes). They can get up to 22 cm wide.
LiberianGirl
As an Aussie, fuck that huntsman off that thing's huge!
Account01
I don't know, I'm regularly scared of huntsmans. They like to just be at face level unexpectedly. Past shock value, they're fine tho.
Radiorifle
Dad told me about when they would ride out to herd the sheep on dirt bikes. Would go out in the trees and see a giant web between trees ~1
Radiorifle
Big ol' spiders right in the center. Only thing to do was tip your head down and take the spider to the top of your helmet lol
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
My sister in law is Australian and terrified of spiders. I don't know how she's survived for 40 years.
Gixxerguy
I'm Australian and completely arachnophobic
CarpeMofo
I refuse to ever set foot in the country because of that. I think I would actually die if a huntsman got on me.

Well, file this under "Fuck That"

Thank you, I was on the news app on mobile

I've been wanting to go Australia since last time I went, the food was delicious...thank you for reminding why its not worth it

If I recall the post, huntsman spiders just want to be your friend. Your best friend. Forever. Maybe he was mad they didn't let him cook.
Whatsizname
They just want to be buddies! Have you seen them run? The big legs make them Max goofy
TequilaSquared
Yeah...

xXOdessaXx
Exactly.
bugeyetex
I completely agree with this statement, but I do have questions as for what that is really used to do

We have a similar sort of thing in Serbia. They're these giant flying bugs the size of tennis balls that are 100% harmless to humans 1/2
SexualConsent
and just fly around being bros and eating mosquitoes. Once when I went there to visit, we visited a relative's house in the evening 2/3
SexualConsent
and one fell off the umbrella over the outdoor dinner table right onto my then- 6 year old sister. She wouldn't stop freaking out for 3/4
SexualConsent
a while and jumped off the chair. Looking back, it was pretty funny, but those things look terrifying to us at the time
Kangawallafox
I work with a lady from Serbia, do you know what the bugs are called?
SexualConsent
I forget the name, they're big black bugs with wings
RunningWolf
Being Canadian, I would rather deal with the black bear that destroyed our BBQ than this demon.
tankgirl215
As a Canadian give me bears any day. They also taste great on the BBQ too :P
RunningWolf
Yeah, people forget that we have guns here too. Leads to great food!
SavageRancor
Fuck that. I'd meet a huntsman any day vs a black bear. A black bear can kill you. A huntsman can drop it's nuts and run away like a poof
RunningWolf
Black bears tend to not bother you either if you make noise. But I see your point
SexualConsent
I'm honestly less scared of bears than I am bugs. I could probably kill a man easier than killing bug tbh
Pcakester
Not all bugs can kill you.... but all bears can DEFINITELY kill you.
SexualConsent
Exactly. I don't know which one of the little fucker is venimous, or has a disease or some shit. Bears are at least predictable and have 1/2
SexualConsent
brains that are developed enough for me to manipulate

One word..RAID.
3cats2kids
No, raid would just piss it off
Dagordae
Not if you add a lighter. Or just beat it with the can.
RandomActOfConfusion
THIS is the reason we have the 2nd Amendment in 'Murica!
NotAHugeSpider
Use at least a 9mm or .45. Anything smaller will just piss it off.

Arson is justified under this condition as well

My first response was SHOOT IT! but, that isn't America...sooo...
Buckbeak1486
Huntsman Spiders are not lethal to humans. You will just be sick for a week at most.
Pcakester
...........that still sounds kind of awful.
Buckbeak1486
Better than dead, like a Red Widow would do to you
NotAHugeSpider
And slower and weaker. And then that night, the funnel-webs come.
Whatsizname
I'd watch that movie
NotAHugeSpider
We should check to see if the Shat is available.
Manieman
Eh I'm from Queensland you usually just carry on they will move away
Whatsizname
It's the bloody golden orb Bastards u gotta look out for! They string huge webs overnight to catch your face!
Manieman
Have like 50 of them under the house swear to god I hate walking in there walk through 3 or 4 webs each time
Kangawallafox
I still remember mum saying "they're more scared of you than you are of them" when I first found one in the bathroom
SexualConsent
In the bathroom? I hope to god you were on the toilet because I would have shit myself if a spider that big was in my bathroom
Manieman
I've had Huntsman run on my sitting in the loungeroom they are almost as big as that
Kangawallafox
No, it was in the bath looking for a drink. Mum scooped it up with paper and a bowl, and dropped him outside near the tap
LetTheWholeWorldBurn
Spiders are terrifying and all but "traps terrified family in their home?" What a bunch of pussies.
comehomefransbrauder
I thought the same thing since the spider was at the patio door. Ok, don't you people have a front door? What's the problem exactly?

FuckMeFuckYou
I love how you included the gif for all of us who don't know what a dinner plate is. ;)
OrangeFlavours
It's a bit of an exaggeration, seems they just didn't want to go in their backyard and use their BBQ because of it.
Pcakester
yeah if I joked about this id say it held me hostage or something.,
FuckMeFuckYou
Definitely. Also, it says she returned home & found it on her patio door. Obviously she had a front door so they weren't "trapped."
Fairdinkums
As an Australian I'd be pretty happy if he was out by the barby because he'll eat anything else drawn to the light you'll be making.
