On a similar wavelength:
This is why you generally don’t just stomp the shit out of any indoor spider you see … unless you very specifically live in an area where there are actually human-dangerous spiders.

Unless you live way out in the boonies, or you really have not been in your basement or attic in a while…
(and lets be real, we’re almost all urban renters now, nobody has a basement or attic rofl)
… chances are, any spider you see indoors is actually only really capable of living in or very near a warm building, and when/if you do see them, it is hunting actual pest insects, and is just shy of totally harmless to you as a human.
Just learn what black widows and brown recluses look like, and if it isn’t one o’ those, you’re fine.

Can you people stop saying shit like this and pull out the caulk and put in ventilation meshes?

I am not saying that homes shouldn’t have good construction and maintenance standards.
I am saying that in general, an occasional spider in your room is very likely there because it is hunting other pests that would pose far more risk to your home and yourself than the actual spider.
Please actually read the link I provided and educate yourself.
