Some people have irrational fears and instead of trying to manage those fears they solicit the aid of others.

But that doesn’t always go according to plan.

Read on to see how this man was dumped over a spider.

AITA For not going to off a spider at my girlfriends place?

I just started working on my project and I had been putting off for a week or so.

I finally started at 10pm, just setting up and it got to 10:40 when my girlfriend called me.

Brace yourself for heart pounding drama.

She showed me this spider saying I need to come and kill it.

I refused.

I said she should just hit it with a shoe.

It wasn’t that big, though.

Then she flipped out and tells me she can’t do it and I need to come.

It goes downhill from here.

(First off, I don’t drive and by bus it would take me 45 mins.)

Anyway, she called me up crying saying I’m a jerk.

She called her sister and brother in law now they are coming to save the day.

I’m a jerk, apparently… (OH AND SHE DUMPED ME LOL!)

AITA?

Check out what folks are saying.

Speak for yourself.

I’ll give you a hint: there’s a reason women are more afraid of spiders than men.

LOL do it!

Good point. I don’t know how Australians get to sleep.

It wouldn’t surprise me.

Holy toxic!

She did him a huge favor.
