Tourist version -
Me - here’s your chalet. Remember, it’s very well insulated for the winter weather, so in summer just keep the windows and doors closed during the day and it’ll stay cool inside for the same reason, then you can open the windows in the evening. Otherwise it’ll just be boiling hot and full of flies.
Guests - ok that makes sense
Guests two days later - MY CHALET IS BOILING HOT AND FULL OF FLIES YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Me under my breath - seriously fuck off you stupid cunts

Spiders and I have an agreement: don’t spin webs at people height. Spiders get the corners, ceilings and anywhere we don’t walk. If you try to spin a web on the bananas, RIP.

As long as the size doesn’t bug you, you’d probably enjoy huntsman spiders. They prefer eating other insects and even other spiders, and generally leave people alone, even run away from us. They dont spin webs, they eat anything they can get, including venomous insects. They love eating mosquitoes and cockroachs. If for some reason you feel like attacking one, dont, not only are they helpful, they can jump quite a distance and are faster than you at their peak speed.

That’s a no from me dog. If I saw that in my house, I’d move. As in, move fast to the door and never look back. He can have the house, and all my shit. I’m taking my dog and getting the fuck out of dodge.

This is why I love jumping spiders.
I’d be terrified of a huntsmen spider, but I love jumping spiders i leave them be whenever I see them, knowing that they will snack on all the fruit flies, moths, and mosquitoes that make it into my house.

My area doesn’t have huntsmen unfortunately. We do have wolf spiders though which are similar I think. They’re lil guys though.

I’ve walked through so many spider webs over the past few weeks. I do find them very rude. And it’s just like, man, if you put your web where I’m going to walk through it then it sucks for you too, then you gotta go rebuild it.
I still don’t kill them, though. Just relocate them to somewhere sufficiently far away that hopefully they don’t build their next web in the same place.
Except for one spider that I maybe killed. I walked into its web and it stood on my arm and bit me so I flicked it away. No idea where it went or whether it survived. But honestly, what a jerk.
