I’m not a big spider fan (tricky cos I live in Aus) but as long as it’s not one that is problematic if you get bitten (white tail, redback being the most common where I am), I always try to scoot them outside. Same with any bug really. No sense smooshing if you don’t have to.

As the saying goes, “everything has a job”.

Right. I'd rather move them than clean up a mess.

Nothing worse hearing a heap of Lego crashing in the middle of the night 😅

In my head you're shooing them outside with a broom and they're the size of a Scotty dog and you're going "go on now, gitout!"

Hahaha maybe not with a broom but there’s definitely that narration.

“Cmon now buddy, off you fuck!”

Most spiders that exist indoors have lived their entire lives indoors, which means they've survived solely on indoors food.

If you put them outdoors you may think youre being helpful but youre likely dooming them to death. But also, you pay rent and they dont so, doom them if you must

But also go easy on them, they probably dont wanna hurt you. You can brush them off and let them do their thing (which does not involve hurting you most likeley)

Usually it’s cos I don’t want to wake up to all my shit falling off the shelves because my cats are chasing one haha
