    At the shop I work in, we once had a large, hairy, stripey one bigger than my hand nonchalently walk out of a banana box and wander across the warehouse.

    One of the cashiers freaked and legged it. The manager just stood there and goes "D...D....Do you reckon it's it dangerous?"

    I examined the stain on the floor and the back of the shovel I grabbed and just said "Probably not anymore"
    I'm in charge and I say we blow it up

    All spiders that live in my house are called Fred... when I find em dessicated in a corner somewhere I call in the dyson... that's the only time I take cobwebs down in the house (ps, I differentiate between dustwebs and cobwebs!)

    That one is not all that bad. I had a huge wolf spider jump after me and run me out of my office once. I just don't trust anything that looks back at you 8 times.

    Chriiichy mate. That’s one heck of a spider you've got yourself there in the UK. Try poke'n it in the eyes, for science of course. That'll rile it up real good. Chriiiiichy that spiders really riled now. Poke it again. Chriiiiiiiiiiiichy. Remember always respect nature and carry a long pointy stick to rile up the critters.

    No need to be concerned. The voices in my head assure me I am completely sane.

    FYI, the largest spider on record is the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider in South America with an 11-inch legspan. Wouldn't life get exciting with one of those puppies chewing on your face "Alien" style???

    <--- Ahhhh!! There it is again to the left there!! Oh whew!, that's just my avatar.

    Btw,.. those numbers on that ruler look odd. Those don't look like inches to me. Oh yeah!,.. that's right,.. you guy's go by the metric system over there.

    Also,.. so whatever happened to the spider? You kill it? Relocate it? What happened to it?

    We had horrendous downpours that day and it was like a tropical forest - hot and humid, I figured it came in out of the rain and went back out later - the open window is only about a foot from where it was.

    No didn't kill it - just let it be, I did wonder where it was in the morning and was careful about sitting down and kicking my shoes off under the desk though
