Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jess S" data-source="post: 167860" data-attributes="member: 29302">When I got my first t I was so excited I mentioned it to work colleagues, friends etc. The reaction I got made me realise most people hate spiders. I don't mention it to anyone outside the hobby now as the majority of people are disgusted and don't get it.I did have a lovely experience at the beginning of this month when a utility lady came into my property, was shocked when she noticed my T's then got so fascinated she stayed for an extra 45 mins looking and talking. When she left we were best mates lolYou'll get miserable people on the forums just like in real life. If it happens to me, it winds me up for 5mins then I shrug it off.</blockquote>
