Are you creeped out by spiders and ,do they make your skin crawl?

I encountered a very large wolf spider tonight. It's leg touched my hand near the light switch. I guess you could say I scared my poor cats with my loud screech. I am not easily frightened but I don't like spiders very much at all.

I had a wolf spider living in my basement mancave that always alluded me whenever I went after him..one time I was napping on my couch and when I woke up, he was on the back of the couch looking at me..I swatted at him and he fell on the floor....the chase was on..he was about the size of a quarter so wasn't real big..well, I cornered him, he turned toward me and raised up on his back legs like he was trying to intimate me or something..hahahahahahaha...I thought "nice try but your time is up"...he was no match for my slipper...

@RedRider72: Poor spider, I wouldn't kill them as they are very beneficial to the environment and our gardens, etc..As long as they keep there distance I'm fine with them.

@sensualbeauty1: well, this one was stalking me..there is no "garden" in my mancave..he wanted the mancave all to himself!! If he had stayed put in the ceiling, I wouldn't have bothered him..but the moment he came down to the couch, he crossed the line...

@RedRider72: Itsy bitsy spider.Oh well a man cave needs to be just that with no interference from pesky bugs.

@sensualbeauty1: he would watch me from the safety of the dropped ceiling...when I'd go after him, he'd escape up inside the ceiling...he was a crafty one...
