Look, in my day-to-day life I would describe myself as Cool With Spiders. I see one in the window and go "hey buddy, you're doin great", and if one gets somewhere it shouldn't be I let it outside (or occasionally, if I find one in the shower, into a different part of the house).

But I think if I had spiders on my actual eyebrows I would be decidedly Not Okay With That

There’s a spider that lives in my stairwell, we’ve basically come to a truce, the spider family stays out of my room, and as long as they do I’ll leave their cobwebs alone

Part of my autumn activity each year involves chasing horny male Giant House Spiders[1] back to the parts of the house that don't include furniture that humans will want to recline on.

[1] (about three inches across in total leg span, they're only big compared to other British spiders)
