'cause they bite and crawl on you and there's a persistent belief you eat them when you sleep, and so on

Just... mostly the same reasons people freak out about spiders outside their bedroom, magnified by an "i sleep there" angle.

Your bedroom is where you sleep, and sleeping is when you're at your most vulnerable. That vulnerability heightens all other perceived threats, since in theory even a minor threat while you're awake could be a major threat while you're asleep; and therefore greater vigilance is required.

So, yeah, what Frumple said. Same as usual, just magnified.

Just smack the spider with a hammer, then it's no longer a threat to your sleeping body.

It's impossible  to indicate directions more precisely than within a 90° cheesepiece (you know the ones likecommandos or desperados)  ,change my mind.

When
-over there
-overthere in in the blue box with the grey lid right behind the gutter
-and speaking with people who only understand romanian
have exactly the same effect

90 degree cheesepieces -- you mean, like, a rook? In a game of chess?

I've played that game but I never managed to get very far in it, are you not supposed to kill everyone in some levels?

I'm sorry to see you go, vcd. I hope things get better for you. Make sure you stay in touch with IRL friends or friends on other parts of the net, ok?

And with that, one more of us solemnly take their leave, and Bay12 comes a tiny bit closer to its death.

Sad to see you go. Hope you come back sometime.
