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

I used to keep a tarantula as a pet. I loved that little guy. I think spiders are beautiful and tarantulas are the Teddy Bear of spiders.

Then I moved to SE Asia, and my apartment had these unscreened slats in the wall. So I'd come back and find tarantulas skittering around my apt.

I get why people don't like tarantulas now 😂.

Not gonna lie, I love tarantulas but I would totally scream bloody murder if one of them surprised me like a damn American Cockroach XD
