I actually like spiders, since they keep my house pretty much pest-free. I used to get freaked out by them, but I was able to get over it by having a pet tarantula. ;)

I dislike them but I am able to tolerate them. British ones aren't harmful, so there's nothing to fear.

It isn't the fact that they aren't harmful it's the fact that they are so creepy and hairy, and sometimes bloody big too. How would you feel if you woke up in the middle of the night and you seen a pretty big spider right above your head just sitting there, staring at you and sharpening its teeth? Oh and it's really hairy too. I've slightly exaggerated with the previous sentence but you get the jist of it! Not a very plesent sight is it? :unsure:

I put "yes" but I don't actually like them, I just don't mind them. I know there are several big spiders in my room because I see them run over the floor occasionally. If I see one on the wall I pick it up and chuck it outside but otherwise its a case of "out of sight, out of mind".

I prefere them over flies but I don't like them either. Well I had similar enounter as KitCh described, although it was not a large spider I was more afraid of how close I was to swallow it.

No buddy, I don't like any of them. One time the kid wanted to go see some, we go to the pet store, I make every excuse not to see them..... just thinking about them is enough to wanna pass out. Im not too afraid of roaches, we have plenty of them in Louisiana, but when they fly oh noz, I run.

I hate spiders soooo bad. One time there was a spider on me and I ran to shower and while I was running I was taking my clothes off and then I jumped in the shower turned it on and started to brush my arms off and stuff just to check if the spider was there. I was crying bad. I was only 10 so don't make fun of me.

Spiders aren't scary now though. If the spider is on my I just brush it off or take it out side.

I found a spider yesterday this big

Picked it up and threw it away.

I am not lying.

*hijacks poll*

Listen up people!

I have this somewhat big spider in my backyard for months now and I wanted to know if there are any spider experts in Neowin able to identify spiders just by looking at a picture of it!

Thanks!

To the poll: A good bug is a good bug away from me.

I don't mind them as long as they are there are none anywhere near me and I don't have to look at them or think about them as they scare the hell out of me.

I like them. Except for the poisonous ones, which I immediately dispose of on sight.

However, I have had the above scenario happen to me, I have a small incline through the roof of the house above my bed. And one merry old day a fairly large spider had decided to sit on this angled ceiling, upside down, and I presume, peer at me with envious eyes, due to me having a much better bed :p. I woke and simply removed it from my room via means of a cup and a piece of paper. Spiders don't scare me at all. And neither does any other pest.
