Well yes, If I see a tarantula in my bedroom I’ll FREAK OUT but I remember once I was sitting somewhere in the south islands of my country (Iran) and I saw this HUGE yellow,furry spider, about the size of my hand on the wall next to me. It had very long legs. It wasn’t a tarantula but the hotel guy said It’s venomous and killed it with a flip flop (which made me sad for the spidey) but I was relatively calm throughout. I would be more afraid if it was a flying cockroach.
But I think I know why. Spiders are never hostile and jittery/unpredictable. They’re calm and shy. But these fuckers will just fly AT you and attack you and are just so unpredictable. I hate them so much.

I mean spiders are generally my favorite of the creepy crawlies because they eat the others and as you said they are much more likely to stay out of the way in a remote corner or such.
