Well I do have a respect for spiders - I always catch the ones in my house in a clear cd case and put them outside. Half the reason being I hate squishing them. Last I squeezed a nice plump house spider the abdomen literally "POPPED" ... OMG that was the sickest sh*& I ever felt....

Another time I tried catching a strange looking black one on the wall...and it *%*%(ing JUMPED at my face. I swat it to the ground and JUMPED to knee height. Now I know about jumping spiders but rarely in this area.
