Oh, I vacuum up empty webs. Especially since I learned that garden spiders generally abandon a web after a day (or less) and build a new one every morning. So, by the time I'm vacuuming, they probably don't care.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

I never kill spiders. It's a thing.
I kill bugs, or insects I should say, with a vengeance, but not spiders. Once I saw an egg sac hatch though, and it was very Euugh.
eta: I'll clear the webs away, though. Builds character.

I kill spiders, because I'd rather have their blood on my hands than have to either look at them or carry them outside. But I always feel guilty when i do it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
There was a spider egg on the ceiling I'd overlooked in cleaning. It had hatched, and there were dozens of tiny paratroopers rapelling down from the ceiling.
never stops screaming

Had this been my apartment, fire might have been involved shortly afterward.

Pete traps spiders and takes them outside.
I stand on a chair and try not to scream.
If there is a spider in the house when Pete is not home, I call my Dad. Yes, I am a big, big wuss.

AquaNet and a lighter. Pete was horrified when I told him about that trick.

What is even happening?

Yes. I seldom kill them myself, but I'm all for killing them. If they want to live, they can get their own darned house.
When I was working at Mass General, an IR contractor who was sharing my office caught a moth in an envelope, walked to the elevator, rode downstairs, and set the moth free outside. I don't really want to be that respectful of life.

Up with the sun
Last week, I went into the bathroom at work and found a spider hanging from the ceiling in front of one of the stalls.
It died of paper towel crushage a few seconds later. I figured it was better I do it than that I force someone who's really freaked by them to deal with it, so it was a humanitarian act.
(But still one that I would much rather have not had to perform. Isn't it bad luck to kill a spider, or something like that?)
