I consider this slightly lapping on the shores of extreme, or just gross:
THIS WAS IN MY BATHROOM!
I had gotten home and put away the groceries that Erin bought for her birthday celebration this Saturday. She has 7 people coming in from all over, and 3 of them are here currently. I went into the bathroom to tidy up a bit, and put the floor towel on the tub so it would dry, and as I did it I saw something fling into the tub. IT WAS THAT THING! Now, many people know that I dislike spiders of all sizes that find themselves in my living space. When they are outside I am not bothered. Its when they sneak up on me where I least expect, and certainly do not want them. This one, which happens to be the size of a large cotton ball, completely caught me by surprise, which is just plain rude. I wouldn't walk into the courtyard out back, spot a web, and just jump out and alert the unsuspecting spider to my presence! It's common courtesy just to stay out of each others way! There is no food in here! STAY OUTSIDE! I saw the thing and screamed out loud. Loudly. Not one of those blood curdling screams, but one of the ones that shows that I am certainly in distress. I was somehow able to compose myself and trap it under a tupperware, and when our house guests returned from their escapades, they kindly extricated the intruder for me. No death, just removal. I think that was showing an appropriate amount of compassion.

What are you so afraid of? Sharks in the swimming pool, spiders in the bathtub. They are not going to get you. They probably are doing their job by eating insects. Of course I would have smooshed the poor thing, or sucked him up with the vaccuum hose. So glad you don't have roaches.
yes im glad i dont have roaches either, but mom. you dont understand. this spider was ENORMOUS! It would have taken up a large portion of my hand. GROSS
Clearly you've never came across those big, fat, hairy spiders often found on wood piles...I have a lot of those in my garage due to the fire wood...THOSE are gross...and huge!! Still, I feel you on the "surprise" thing...it's worst when open your bed and there's a little bastard looking at you like "give me back the sheets!!It's chilly!!"...not good...
EWWWW!!
lets not have that happen again.
