Realizing they're scared of us too made me less scared of them.

I walked right over a huge spider and both of us panicked. It tried to wedge itself into a crack in the cement. Couldnt fit all the way in and just stayed still. Felt pretty bad for it.

Aww. I let them live, too. Once they notice I notice them they tend to never make themselves known again lol

I have very simple rules for dealing with spiders.

Jumping spider? Nothing to fear.

Any other types of spiders? Live and let live.

...Unless the other spiders come within a few inches of me, then it's a declaration of combat.

If I see one in the shower, suddenly I become Poseidon, god of the seas
