what would you do when you see a spider..

imagine, a spider dropped from the ceiling right on your keyboard and scared the crap out of you. you then ran to your parents' room asking for help, and you had to come back because your request has been totally ignored by the two people who were busy reading magazines and newspapers. back at your desk, the spider was nolonger on your keyboard, instead, it climbed onto your calculator which is around 50 cm away from your comp, and went idle/fell asleep.

when you kill it with your shoe you won't want to wear them anymore, nor will you be willing to touch your calculator again. if you leave it there you won't want to enter your room again.

how about trapping it? but then, how?

Hide under my bed sheets and cry.

What type of spider is it (picture unnecessary)? Get a bucket or a cup and put it over your calculator? But make sure you'll definitely be able to trap it otherwise it'll start running around the place in which case you should go hide under your bed sheets and cry.

Problem. I'm not brave enough to even kill it with a shoe. I'd probably weep and search for Mortein. But if it were a hairy one, I'd have to alert my parents. Definitely.

Interestingly I have some small ventilation slits on the wall above my desktop and often I get spiders crawling in from there. On two occasions I've had a spider descend down right in front of my face and freak me out. The worst part is sometimes part of their web will be stuck to me and when I react and lean backwards, it makes it look like the spider is flying right at me.

If it is a small spider I would just catch and squish it with a tissue. If it's a big fat one that looks like it would asplode in a gooey mess of spider guts if I squish it then I'll use an insect spray to kill it.

worst case scenario
