I hate them, and I kill them simply because i don't want them to get away and sneak up on me later.

My girlfriend is absolutely terrified of them though, because of a traumatic experience she had when she was a kid. Her and her mom were folding laundry and there was a gigantic wolf spider on one of the sheets they were folding. Somehow it got on her shoulder and she felt it but didn't know what it was. She picked it up like it was lint or something, then realized it was a spider and proceeded to FREAK. THE HECK. OUT.

My poor baby. D=

I don't like spiders at all. Never did. So yeah, they freak me out.

Hmm... can't say I hate them, can't say I love them.
I'm indifferent about spiders. Good, my heart skips a beat when I see one, because I did not expect one. Usually I mind my own business, or if it's a big one, I catch (with a bowl and sheet of paper) it and put it outside. Because otherwise it won't escape my mom's/sister's shoe or my cat's paws/teeth.
But there webs are really pretty though... specially covered in dew or rain. I watched a spider repair her web once. I was in "awe".

I have a big arachnophobia (fear of spiders), I just can't help being afraid of them, whenever I think about them, I just get very cautious and look around. I'm not afraid of small thin ones much though, just the big, hairy ones I can't stand looking at. So yeah, I really don't like spiders.

Funny story.

One of my old friends had a mother who LOVED spiders. She was a biology professor at an all-girls college. Then, on December 30, 2007, she died in a scuba diving incident.

How does this relate, you may ask? Well, now, whenever I see a spider, I always act as though it's that person's mother (no reincarnation, but just a spiritual sign or something) and thus try to get it out safely. I'm not one for touching spiders (in case it might bite me ;_;), but I'm not afraid of them.
