All they want is to chill out in some corner or even out of sight in yo house and wait for dinner to pass by. They ain't, unlike cockroaches, walking across your face when you're sleeping.
The only time I am fussed over spiders is when I pull the cover off the pool skimmer and am met with a big fat black widow and her sack of killer babies. This happens more often than I like.
Years ago I was cleaning out an old dog crate that was outside. In the corner was a decent sized black widow. I grabbed a can of some sort of bug killer spray. I didn't give her a gentle misting but sprayed enough to create a puddle of the insecticide in the corner of the crate. I finally knocked her into the puddle with the can. She curled up for a few seconds then extended her legs and crawled up out of the poison...I swear I saw her flex. The brick I grabbed from a pile behind the garage stopped her.
Second in line for creepy are the ones that carry a bazillion babies on their backs.
Other than that I am not freaked out about spiders.
