How clean is your house?"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

Girl sees spider, doesn't move itI think I should hoover my floor, there's been a big spider in the corner for a few days now. He hasn't moved. He looks dead, but I know he's having a holiday from under the floorboards. I'm not going to mess with him, because I think he'd be the victor in the battle of girl vs. spider. It's okay though, we can live together in dusty, filthy harmony. I don't mind too much, it's quite comforting not to be alone in the house, and an extra pair of hands or 4 always comes in useful.

My method of dealing with spiders:1. While keeping as far away from them as possible, put a cup over them.
2. Put something heavy on the cup in case the spider is strong enough to wiggle out from under it.
3. Remove yourself from the vicinity.
4. Avoid cup for weeks on end, lest you kick it over and release the spider.
5. Wait for someone to come over to your place and then make them get rid of it for you.
6. Any day now.
7. Maybe I should call someone.
8. The spider has to be dead by now. But it might not be, so I should just wait.
9. Wow, I can't believe that cup's still there. I never have people over...
10. Oh god my life is lonely. Just me and my cupped spider for an eternity.

An ex of mineWould go batshit mental whenever she saw a spider - I'd have to either kill it, or catch it and let it go at least 2 doors down (in case it came back), and then hunt for it's partner ('cos they always come in twos?).
Scatty cow, but absolutely lovely...

My method of dealing with spiders:Either leave them alone or splat the little buggers if any arachnophobes start whimpering.
The trouble with the second scenario is having to put up with an equal amount of anthropomorphic whining about "I didn't want you to kill it" after the splattery as there was "AAAGH! A SPIDER! GET RID OF IT!!" beforehand.
Which is why I usually prefer to just leave them be.
