I actually don't mind spiders, love, (well almost!) the daddy long legs spiders and have been known to save them where possible from injury or falling into the bath.. I can sorta, just about tolerate house spiders, tho prefer they are taken outside... in the garden I had a HUGE spider who got disturbed with her eggs and so i put the board they were on somewhere safe and let them all hatch out.... but I really hate the false black widows.. they bite and hurt and there are just tooooooo many of them in my house :( I once posted on a nature forum about them and said I seem to have an epidemic of them.. they went nuts and said it doesn't happen... well it has in my house and they are everywhere.. even had them hide in the towels so when you go to wash your face you get a spider on your face :( Hate them and what's annoying me now is... i can't find the one that went in my hair :(
