I was here at the dorms on my computer when nature called from behind, so I went to the bathroom. While I was doing my business, I looked on the ground and HOLY CRAP I saw the biggest spider ever. It was HUGE. I COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT. And now I'm super worried that there are other spiders all around me. *cringes* What do I do? What do I do? SOMEONE HELP!
AHHHHH!

That happened to me kinda, only I was playing the Metroid Prime: Hunters demo thing for the DS and I saw something out of the corner of my eye: a huge yellow and white spider thing descending from the window near my bed. Before I could swat at it, it escaped to UNDER MY BED.
I went under my bed (which is like a loft bed thingy, basically it's a bunk bed with a bookshelf under it instead of another bed so behind the shelf there's lots of space to camp with your snipe--I mean, hang out. *tries to exit FPS mode*)
Anyway, I couldn't find it but I saw all sorts of spider webs that had made a little village on the underside of my bed.
....I slept on the couch that night. The next day I went under there with a vacuum and used the hose attachment and obliterated the whole thing. It was gross. Oh yeah, and I found some old toe nails of mine that I'd lost years ago. Maybe I should clean under there more often.

Buy bug spray, and fly swatters.

I look at spiders as beneficiaries. They control the insect population, generally clean up after themselves and dont bother humans much. The major exceptions are the poisonous ones.

I look at them as disgusting, vile things that were not here before the fall of humanity.

Bug Spray doesn't kill Spiders unfortunately...especially Bees.
There is, however, another spider that kills other spiders, I said it before on the topic about brown recluse spiders.
I know 1 Daddy longlegs is around the house, I saw it before at the stairway and in the garage. They are harmless and are very good to have since, they kill others spiders.
Other than that, I have seen a couple spiders in the bathroom. It does get freaking when they happen to appear at a glance of the eye. Luckily for me, every bathroom has shoes close by and anything in my room has 4x4-2x6 objects that can easily kill any bug that comes in perimeter to me.
In the past decade, I've killed over 30 ants, almost 10 spiders/mosquitoes (especially the big ones), 5 flies, 5 bees (2 wasp) and 1 bee hive (with a water hose). The moment I see a bug, I get scared, I flee, I go berserk and get the thickest object I can find (book, shoe, baseball bat, etc.) and whack it death. There have been a few incidents; broken things in order to kill the bugs.

A flyswatter carefully wrapped in duct tape is awesome for spiders, bees, and flys, or any other type of insect...

Well, when you have been stung, bitten and scarred by bugs, its my way of saying, "They started it first!"
u scared them and it was a reaction in self defense from people 28937472839742x bigger than they are.

Where I live Daddy Long Legs are a different kind of species entirely, not even arachnids.

We have Fiddler backs which block your blood stream killing you in 10 minutes. Giant Desert Tarantula's, that carry 2 large "spears" which if you touch stick to your skin killing you. and the famous Black widow. oh and we have one of the highest Snake population in th US and we have the only venomous Lizard in the world, which has actual teeth that can be up to 5" long. i think your lucky to live where ever you are. The Arizona outback is a Wuss' worst nightmare.

That sounds like another obnoxious internet-spawned urban legend.
