I don't know how a spider in the gas meter is going to stop that. Also.. bug spray.

Anyway it doesn't matter - every time you sleep a spider walks across your face.

No you're mixing up your facts, every time YOU sleep a strange man comes into your house and teabags you.

It was quick and painless, and he was in my property so it is OK.

And why do housespiders make those really thick webs? They always spin them in places that seem unlikely to catch anything, like underneath things and in corners and crevices. Great for scaring people

I sense the anger of a spider-lover.
