The Largey-Bargey Spider
For future reference, oh, universe, my idea of getting close to nature involves leaning out over flowers planted in a window box in Paris.
In case you're wondering, Dustbuster to toilet disposal. I normally take small spiders and Daddy Long Legs out outside on a sheet of paper, but this thing looked like it might growl at me.
Bravado.

Actually spiders are your friend. Spiders come into a house when attracted by bugs you may not see. After they have eaten the bugs in your home they will move on to a more bug rich environment.
Spiders present = bugs(seen or unseen)
No spiders = bugs gone

My reaction is to scream and crawl on top of the nearest refridgerator

That spider was almost big enough to eat my dog.
And RT'd that, Cridster.
Luj, my reaction exactly, though the microwave on top of it impedes that in reality.

I adopted a spider. I tried capturing him to put him outside and ripped off his back leg accidentally. Now he lives in my bathroom and I give him a fly every couple days.
His name is Boris.

Definition of unnerving: When Mr. Spider crawls across the lens of your car's backup camera when you're trying to back out of your parking space.
Yes, that happened.

I found a spider outdoors, in the city, one time - like nothing I had seen. It was tan and orange, with some sort of saw tooth pattern - and the body was the size of a pea!
Some type of orb-weaver, I think.
