So, would you have done the same?

[Daveman]

I always catch it if I can. Though lately they've been making a habit out of lowering down onto my face when I'm asleep so I'm a little less forgiving now.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I'll leave mosquito hawks and daddy long legs spiders alone because they eat the other bugs i don't want in my house. If its something thats liable to bite me I'll kill it

 

[Sebenko]

Spiders are adorable, especially when they get scared and bunch up, or run away as fast as their flailing colllection of legs can carry them. Bees are also adorable.

Wasps, not so much. They exist to be dicks, and I've given them enough chances to leave me alone. Now, they get murdered on sight.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I can't touch spiders because I get freaked out, so I put a glass over it and leave it for someone else to deal with.

 

[Rapamaha]

I usually kill all the bugs that I come across in my home

 

[The Funslinger]

I believe in spirit guides, so I'd have done the same, yes. I've had to remove spiders that didn't even fit in the palm of my hand without the legs coming through my fingers before.

I've always been interested in the idea of spirit guides. Care to explain?

 

[CouchCommando]

I would have actually left it where it is ,but then I live alone for some strange reason.

 

[Blue Hero]

I have several daddy long legs spiders in my bathroom and laundry room. I like to think that we have a non-verbal agreement. They don't bite me or go near my things when I need to use my things, I don't murder their children and make them watch.

 

[smithy_2045]

I leave them alone generally, but if they're near my desk they're sentenced to death for trespassing.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

I usually leave spiders alone, as they're good for keeping REAL pests away, but my sister has the most colossal phobia of them, so I usually have to escort them out of the house.

 

[iLazy]

I always try to save the spiders, but if the spider is being a little ***** and won't let me rescue it then it goes one of two ways: 1) if it's in an inconvient place, it dies or 2) I leave it alone.

Sometimes I just let the spider chill and during the winter I just leave'em alone. I wouldn't want someone to shove me outside during the winter with no protective gear, so why would I do it to the poor spider?

On the other hand I have a fear of flying insects, so moths die everytime they enter my house. Stupid moths.

 

[ZodiacMaster101]

I would have gotten a broom and swept the spider out of my house, but if it tried to bite me then I would try to kill it.

 

[OriginalLadders]

Maybe it's due to my mum's arachnophobia influencing me as I grew up, but whenever I see a spider indoors I go out of my way to kill it.

EDIT: As soon as I saw the term "hobo spider" I immediately imagined a spider using one leg to carry a bindle over it's... thorax, I guess... and wearing a top hat with a large hole in the top. Anyone else or is it just me?

 

[Akytalusia]

i just live and let live unless it becomes a nuisance; then i remove it. if it attacks, i'll kill it.

 

[Ruley]

I'm all about karma, I usually trap them in a glass and release them outside.

 

[StarsintheBlood]

I don't kill spiders. I guess I always figured they were different from other bugs. The webs they make, the mythology around them- I set them free. Any other bugs I also try to set free. The only bugs I'd ever kill without a second thought are roaches, mosquitos and flies. I even try to set bees outside.

 

[Hollock]

I've done the same basic thing. If there are frogs in my pool i take them to the brook near my house. And today, My brother found a baby mouse this morning and was having me feed it and I was going to take it to a pet store nearby so they could take care of it ( maybe they'll have a nursing mouse) but my mom flushed it down the toilet. Because she thinks drowning is a humane way to kill blind babies

 

[RatRace123]

I would've killed it. After all, since it spotted you, it was now probably hunting you.

I'll bet it still is, your act of generosity will only be repayed with coldblooded spider-murder.
