Seriously, it bugs me that people jump on the "It scares me so it deserves to die" bandwagon. As a race, I thought we were supposed to be 'better' than that.

I don't think you get it.

If somebody has a phobia of spiders (enter me), you can't leave it because you will be on the edge of your seat, some people are too afraid to pick it up or scoop it up and throw it outside and if you do that then the odds are they will be back in your house the next day. Spiders are pests, and where I live, if you don't keep their numbers under control you can end up with an infestation. I don't see the harm in killing an insect.

People like you are the reason why we live in a world without a real Spider-Man.

He doesn't already exist? *runs off crying*

I will kill it on the spot if I can, but if the spider looks formidable I will run away and call someone else to kill it for me. The only things that creep me out more than spiders are roaches (never really see those though) and Potato Bugs (Jerusalem Cricket).

I tell my little sister to kill it for me...seriously.
I hate spiders.

Please enlighten me how we are supposed to be "above" killing spiders, it sounds interesting.

Spiders creep me out so bad so if I see one it's dead!

spiders and beetles inside the house are kill on sight for me.

luckily where i live there are no dangerous bugs, but anything small that is not supposed to be in MY house needs to GTFO or die, same goes for mice, rats, and other rodents.

Sometimes it´s not just about "it scares me"....since we´re talking about spiders..well, some of them are genuinely very dangerous, carrying poison than can kill you in minutes...depending on the kind of spider, you should be protecting your family members from it, and not the other way around...and again, depending on the kind of spider, the best thing to do would be to kill it, and not 'pick it up and take it outside'..should you find a dangerous kind in your house.
