Are some things better off not known?
I saw a brown recluse scrambling across a pile of clothes I was sorting and putting away, then he disappeared. Now I know he’s there somewhere. I’d rather not know.

Ok I won’t tell you where I think it is hiding. It’s called a recluse for a reason.
Yes, of course. How much the property owned by your spouse’s parents worth after they’re dead and the property will be given to whom. Your spouse’s separate bank account/ATM PIN number. And whether or not I have poisoned your food.
Do you really believe you are better off not knowing where the thing lurks? Or is it that you will cope better through not worrying about it?
There are some things better not known, like how many types of critters currently live on your face.
Yes, I’m better off not knowing because even if I went looking the chances are I wouldn’t be able to find it, @stanleybmanly. And yes, I would cope better by not worrying (too much) about it. I am shaking my clothes out before I put them on though.
Good answers you guys.
@Dutchess_III I got chased by a HUGE spider when I was a teenager. The tides turned when I found my size 15 shoes. Splat city, the spider had a death wish, and I granted it.
LOL! I found a HUGE wolf spider in my kitchen sink early one morning, as I was getting ready for work. Dumbass made the mistake of jumping in the garbage disposal side.
Why do you think so many people remember their childhood as happy? So many of us didn’t know the atrocities of the world outside our little bubbles. I think I’d like to go back to that state of mind please.
When and how you will die.
The ways and places on her body that your current boyfriend/husband/spouse touched his or her ex girlfriend/wife/spouse to get her all hot and bothered. You just don’t need to know and be thinking about that every time he’s with you.
Yes, ignorance is bliss and what you don’t know can’t hurt you.
Indeed. They are called a Brown Recluse for a reason. @Dutchess_III , next time you go in that room, turn the light on for a couple minutes first, she’ll probably run away. They are very “shy” spiders. It’s a shame that you killed your wolf spider, she may have taken care of your Recluse.
To the point of the thread. Definitely, sometimes, maybe…
Depending on the situation…
How your food is mishandled in restaurants.
Bout a year ago I did the kind of thing I never do and snooped on my boyfriend’s phone. I no longer ask questions I don’t want to know the answer to.
^If you’re at the point of snooping through your SO’s phone, you already have enough answers. Relationships are built on trust. If you don’t trust the other person, information won’t change that. Only confirm your suspicions, or kick your issues down the road…
I’m aware. This was a year ago and I haven’t done it again since.
@MrGrimm888 Why must people here always find a need to instruct, to impart their wisdom to others, whether it’s asked for or not? I’m well aware of the reason it’s called a brown recluse. I’ve dealt with lots of them. My son was bitten by one many years ago. No big deal. I was not asking how to get rid of it. It got rid of itself, I just don’t know where.
The wolf spider incident was 25 years ago. Doubt he’d have been much help today.
Well…two girls one cup is something that comes to mind. lol
My daughter went through a phase around 19 or so where she delighted in grossing me out with bizarre internet videos. I refused, but I saw a blip, more than enough.
