    As with most bugs, if they don't bother me, I won't bother them, and if they're radioactive they can bite me.

    Spiders are cool with their legs and their creeping around.

    Don't really care. If I see a big huge one running around the house I'll catch it and chuck it out a window but otherwise I ignore them or sic the cat on them.

    Depends on their size really. Little ones I can tolerate, but any spider bigger than two inches, or hairy... no thanks.

    If you asked me this question last year I would have said ARRRGGGGGHHHH I HATE SPIDERS AND I'M SCARED OF THEM!!!

    But lately I've not been so bad with them. If it's a big one it will still freak me out a little if it catches me off guard, but if I see it first and it's not moving then I can quite confidently go and kill it now. Then chuck it in the bin.

    I am pretty cool with spiders usually. They kill the much more annoying buggers.

    I only hate them on me (the small ones, I don't mind that much having those big ones on my hand, since those are fluffy and almost feel like pets) and I don't enjoy those really fast spiders that come rushing at me or run around me a lot, these I catch and throw outside.

    They are the spawn of Satan.

    I am pretty fascinated by spiders. Yes, they look like pure evil when they're scuttling across your living room floor but they are still interesting and highly useful creatures.

    I remember once when I was absolutely hammered in my early 20's, I was chatting to a spider outside my Dad's flat for about 15 minutes. He was nice. His name was Clive and he worked as a fly catcher. It's quite a common trade among the arachnid family, so he says.

    I don't mind them as long as they stay where I can see them and don't go taking any liberties.

    Liberties include;
    • Crawling onto me when it's dark
    • Creeping around near me when it's dark
    • Dangling down behind me on their web
    • Dangling in front of me on their web in a small space
    • Going near my food/drink

    Sounds like that particular spider Owened owned.

    Spiders eat flies and flies are like 5000 times more annoying.

    I actually wish I had more spiders in my house, and that they made better webs.
