This gargantuan, Herculean beast of a spider has taken residence in my bathroom. I'm starting to suspect that it is in fact not one spider, but several playing an elaborate practical joke on me; Each time I go in it looks much bigger than it was before o_0
Anyhow, last night it crawled into the bath, and I decided to take a snap of it. Looks bigger in person, I assure you. Seriously, this morning I saw it again and thought it was a man dressed up.
And if any of you are curious, yes, of course I saved it from the bath. I mounted a daring rescue involving a large bath-mat and a stalwart performance from Michael Emerson. The spider is now residing safely under my tap. It's a long term agreement, he's started paying rent and everything.

Anyway, point is: i think it's best to aim for a friendly accord with the eight-eyed ones.. in my old house there used to be this one gigantic(ish) spider (named "Aragog") who lived behind a bookshelf and caught any flies that my carnivorous pitcher plant didn't.
And we got along famously!

Fair enough. Loving the name there XD
I did just now have to chuck mine outside though. I went in this morning and an equally large spider corpse was dangling underneath the first. Giant dead spiders stuck to my sink is where I draw the line unfortunately. We exchanged phone numbers, but I'm not expecting any calls, it was pretty heated last time we talked...

XD I can't say I expected it to say "meep", but I can see where you're coming from.
And I try not to kill them whenever I can (meaning if I do it's accidental). Sometimes I get the urge to kill flies and stuff, even though I tend not to in the end, but I never see the need to kill spiders. They can be annoying if they keep making face-high webs all over the place, but if I killed everything that I found annoying there would be no children left in the world
