Walking through a dark room barefoot, would you be more freaked out by a huge cobweb to the face or a puddle of 'wet' on the floor?

You can intuit my answer to this question if you’re able to ‘read’ questions.

Can you tell us why?

I have kids and a dog. Puddle of Mudd Puddle of wet wins (loses?) every time.

Spider, the puddle just annoys me and grosses me out because it would mean my dog peed in the house.
Now if the puddle is unusually large or in a place I know the dog wasn’t than that would freak me out because that would mean a pipe is broken somewhere. Do you have any idea what a plumber would cost in the middle of the night? Yeeeeek!

This question made me laugh outloud. Excellent job! :)
I have pets. The roof was patched last Spring. It isn’t a pleasant feeling: a puddle. But one can clean up a puddle. Then wash one’s feet with straight lye.
Now, a spider web is a whole different ballgame! Yow!
There are all sorts of spiders around here. But any spider that leaves a cobweb big enough that you feel it when you walk right into it? Uhn-uhn. No.
It’s probably huge, glow in the dark colors, beady eyes, and giant fangs that drip drool. Euw. You just know it would be the very spider that wraps you up in order to slowly drain the life out of you, laughing a treacherous spider ” you’re screwed now! ” laugh. Nope. Thanks.
Well, sooo looking forward to going upstairs in the dark now! I wonder if the fanged killers are afraid of Frankenstein torches swooped back and forth in front of me…..hhhmmmm… The pets may have to clean up a puddle from me this time!

A huge cobweb in my face means there is more than a good chance there is at least one…probably large and fat spider that is now rushing to find out what it snagged for dinner.

Cobwebs are just annoying; liquid implies I am going to have to clean up something yucky and then wash my feet.

lol

I pull back from a puddle, but a cobweb leave me slapping myself all over my head. Puddles make me cringe, those strong-as-steel spider webs give me a little panic attack!

I’ve never encountered a cobweb in my house at eye level but I have, on more than one occasion, stepped in my cat’s mess with no shoes on. THAT i can live without.

Darn good question! I honestly cannot say which of these two toe-curling experiences is worse!

If the lights were on, and the puddle was blood oozed from the body lying next to it, I would still be more bothered by the web.

I’m barefooted whenever not prohibited by law, due to chronic pain in my feet. I can’t find a pair of shoes to save my life.

The cobweb, definitely. Puddles of “wet” whatever will wash off. Spiders can have painful bites.

Cobwebs, hands down! I slept on a enclosed back porch when I was a kid and the house was crawling with spiders! They totally freak me out, man!

Most certainly the cobweb. Spider-bites can be painful and cause inflammation, and the darkness would make it impossible to see the cobweb’s creator. A puddle of fluid simply means that my cat or dog expelled something out of some orifice. I wash my foot quickly, toss a few paper towels over the mess, go back to sleep, and clean-up in the morning.

Puddle. Spiders are sooo freaky.

How about a cobweb to the face followed by a puddle of wet on the floor?~

Pachy's avatar
