Because we have polling stations there. You failed to mention The Hague, Washington, London, Berlin, Vanuatu, Tokyo and a scattering of other spots. Democracy Sausage is taking over the world

Gee, never occurred to me to check the entire globe.

There are reasons sometimes.  I am not arachnophobic, since by definition that is an unreasonable fear, but spiders are killed on sight in my home.

Of course, allergy is a good reason to worry about spiders in the house, and I'm not dissing people who fear spiders, since I panic when I meet a wasp. But maybe asking someone to put them outside rather than kill them could achieve the same purpose of avoiding contact ?

LOL I would, but hubby IS an arachniphobe! He calls ME when he spots one! They can have the attic, and basement if they want em. Stay outta my bedroom! And bugs of any sort are verboten in my kitchen!

Don't get me wrong, I am not a vicious insect killer. When camping I tollerate all sorts of multilegged critters. I am in their teritory after all. But in MY house...

It was past 1am, everyone was sleeping. And yes, I'm not proud to kill spiders but I have an unreasonable fear of them so I do when I can't do otherwise. I did not do it for the pleasure or by cruelty or just because.

Why do you kill a harmless, useful spider ? They eat flies and mosquitoes which are much more annoying, and in some cases carry disease. I can understand putting it outside, but killing a native European spider is senseless (the most polite word I could come up with). Australians are excused for swatting their venomous ones, lol, but even they should be grateful to have fly-killing creatures around.

Very very true, but I have this irrational fear they will crawl in my mouth when I sleep (please--no pictures or gifs, folks  ), and therefore...

The way I see it, they have predators outside my house, and this ain't no safe haven, so they have to be on the lookout for a fly swatter when they move into my territory.   I wish I didn't have this fear, but I do....

Not only is it a bug that has invaded my ( human) space, i seem to have an allergy. A teensy one walked over my cheek while cleaning a storage area at work, something we called a pallet spider as they seemed to love the pallet storage pile. I simply brushed it away, no freak out. The following morning i woke to half my face swollen to the point i could not open my right eye at all. Once the meds reduced the swelling a line of about 8 bites could be seen across the cheek.

 

Hey, Kitt.   I know why I have my fear... so I shouldn't call it irrational, but it is deep seated and real. Besides, I've woken up with spider bites that hurt for days and days, and look awful, so If I see one, he's history.

I was worried about my geraniums last night... it was only 7 degrees, but it felt damn cold. Sunny and reasonably warm now.

I'm usually alone. My son used to put spiders outside when he was younger...
