I mean I love them and don't chase them out of the house but when one fell on me when I was showering that was a bit much.
It's not fair to them, they're extremely passive creatures unless protecting babies. Like it takes minutes of threatening one's life to get them to maybe bite. But they are as large as a spread hand and extremely fast and that is just surprising.
Fuck me

It's a blushing shower spider ok?
I had a related discussion with a friend on Monday about her fear of moths. I love them and she can appreciate that they're 'cute' from some perspectives, but it's the unexpected, erratic movement at night time and wing dust that pushes it into phobia territory for her.
The erratic flying makes them so much cuter, they fly like Miyazaki drew them
It's also like, they're only flying erratically because they think they're being predated and are trying to get away from you/towards a light source. It's not their fault that their navigation is messed up.
