My wife and all my kids are deathly afraid of spiders. I put them all outside and I'm happy that's the example I'm setting.

Spider bro, spider bro, keeping that fly population low.

I have severe arachnophobia, i can't kill spiders i am too afraid of them. But my cat is a ruthless killer and never fails to make them dissappear.

Maybe I can't get close enough to kill it, but the spider spray can.

I like spiders until they bite me when I sleep. Then peace is over.

I saw a couple recluse spiders in my apartment several months ago and maybe I’m an idiot, but I left them alone. They were truly more scared of me than I was of them. They don’t want to bother me and only will if I threaten them. So I left them alone and they just chilled in their “recluse” hiding spots.

Widows are more common in my area and I do the same.

I have a door spider. It lives in a crack in my entry door. I'm not sure of it is the same spider as last year, but it makes trap web near my door frame. I think of it as bug protection, it's eating something I don't want in my house.

perhaps if they wanted to live inside my house they should have considered not going out of their way to make my instincts scream for death?

Do what orb weavers do: set up a web and stay there, and if you have to move do so slowly.
Respect me and i'll respect you, run at me with your too many legs and i will send you back to god for adjustments.

Well there is no absolute morality and spiders are scary so...

Aww you're no fun...

Here, have a video of one of my bros showing what he thinks of that comment.

If they don't violate my personal space, they get to live, but if it crawls on my monitor or something similar, I'm getting the slipper

...outside. They deserve to live outside. I unapologetically squish insects and arachnids alike inside my home.
