We never kill spiders.
Spiders kill pests.

The venue for the trivia night is now being reconsidered.

Even have a few of those big whistling spiders or bird eating spiders as well. They look like a funnel web on steroids and supposedly they are related.

Down South here we don't get giant spiders - Huntsmen would be the biggest and they're just fun - used to live in a houseful of them. A scream a minute - literally sometimes from SWMBO and visitors. Can't say waking up with one on your pillow is much fun though. . Snake wise when I lived in the country was King Bowns mainly - only ever had to kill one at the Campsite I worked at that was threatening a school kid and striking at him.

The wife had a small black spider jump on her recently while she was in the shower. She raced around the house in a towel screaming hysterically about the 'huge huntsman' that had attacked her. I was outside and got into trouble for not being instantly available to rescue her. When I looked it took some time to even find the tiny spider. I took it for a walk in the garden.

... Couldn't have been that scary, - if She had time to grab a towel, wrap herself... then run around the house...

I reckon you've been 'had'....

test this theory by wrapping yourself in a towel, and telling her there is a snake under it.

Alas, Wife knows well about the Snake under the towell....and has no fear of it....

Only if it's big enough to .... put a leash on it.
