My thoughts exactly. My girlfriend is scared of spider web (not just spiders) and she has no issue with drains. You just have to suck it up and deal with it!blakjak wrote:Just tell your mates that if they are scared of spiders they might as well chop their balls off and grow a pair of tits, also, give up on urbex and stick to playing FPS games on Playstation/Xbox.
Draining is definitely for a chosen few, the OP doesn't seem to fit that category. I explain to everyone I take that this is dangerous activity and they may encounter things that are not in their comfort zone, but everyone has to get out of that every now and then. I also explain that if s#!+ hits the fan you're going to out of way out of your comfort zone and if you get stuck because of floodwater you may have to spend a bit of time getting to know the creepy crawleys that call the drains home. I think you have to be able to put mind over matter if you want to do draining. It may mean the difference between survival or death in a tricky situation.

While the rest of us were splashing down the drain, he was tippy-toeing trying to keep his sexy shoes dry.
He ended up giving up, when he caught up with us he was holding his shoes and socks in his hands, and his jeans were slung around his neck like a scarf.
Needless to say, he hasn't come to an expo since then.
What a waste of Lynx, and by looking at the the guy in the pic he needs as much deodorant as he can get.timdole wrote:
