I would not let it bug me!
Be proud that you have spiders and you at least understand what it is about not like the ignorant people who want to doom them, I think it is someone who does not have class or have understanding to curtain things that will comment like this. But
Take it, it yours, run with it, show off, you the one who has 20cm spider sitting in your lounge and you don't have doom in the house for a reason..
Come back, if someone says they wont to doom your spider,
If you won't to the spider that is fine, but you need to step on it after wards as the doom makes it grow bigger.
Thats why we don't keep doom in the house! :thumbsup:

(Note: please don't try it, cause if you do your an Idiot) :eyepoke: :igiveup:
If you don't like the people saying that kind of thing just tell them to keep quit and please stop being rude.
They will catch awake even before you tell them you have spiders just say please no doom comments or standing comments. I keep tarantulas.
Again, people also joke about it, you have to look at it from someone who is scared of spiders or even scared of the exotic pet, just be understanding. or Almost be like that school boy with the frog that chases the girls around the play ground with your passion.
Just laugh with them, and then bring the tarantula forward and start talking about it,
Bombard them with information the people will change there mind about dooming the spider when they start finding out about them or you gross them out they turn and walk away. :thumbsup:
