Certified arachnophile here. Killing a spider in my house is grounds for getting kicked out! If there is stuff in my house for them to eat, I would rather that they caught and ate it (damn, I wish there were spiders in my house big enough to eat the roaches that get in!) than that the stuff kept flying/scampering around!
And yeah, I've had as many as 15 tarantulas at one time. It's depressing to me that I have none at all right now

It depends. A common house spider? Nope...a black widow, brown recluse or some other spider than could take down a human? Hell yeah.

I wasn't...until I thought I'd accidentally killed one. Then it came back to life.

I love 'em and I can't kill them, but I don't like to touch them. But I greatly admire their nature

I'm not so much scared of spiders, as much as I am compelled to kill them! I don't like how they bite me in my sleep or walk on me without me immediatley noticing. I pretty much hate all bugs... but they have their purpose.

Meh. Damn eight legged freaks.

They're like octupus. Only on land. Their like....landoctopus. Landoctopus. Evil little eight legged demons. I'd rather see Satan crawling across my pillow than a spider.

I hate spiders.

I'm fine with the small and bony ones, but I hate those hairy ones, especially when they walk on my palms. >< It tickles a bit!

eh... not afraid. Not like I'd sleep in a cage with tons of them, but they really don't do much more than annoy me.

PFFT! What liars!
