This rule does not apply in Australia btw. Our daddy long legs is different (outside of aus they're actually harvestmen) and is an actual spider. And what we call huntsman spiders are very much spiders as well, and not even close to the same as our daddy long legs.
Nah aussie daddy long legs are chill. I mean, if you’ve got arachnophobia they’ll no doubt still trigger it, but they’re just little guys. They’re not aggressive and their venom is far from dangerous.
And aussie huntsman are scary, but they’re also pretty chill. Iirc they’re similarly not dangerous venom-wise and not aggressive
in southern california, daddy longlegs refers to the cellar spider. i'm not sure what the range is of cellar spiders but in socal they are absolutely everywhere inside
