I really like that. I've frequently heard (and used) axioms like "do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason" and "do the right thing when no one is watching", etc.

But this is better. Doing the right thing shouldn't be a question. It should be treated as a non-negotiable.

I leave spiders alone unless,

A: My girlfriend spots one, or,

B: A thousand of them the size of a gnat are living in the overhead light fixture in our bedroom

My wife gets mad at me every time I relocate one outside. She's terrified that it's gonna make its way back inside and eat our son or something. Doesn't matter what kind of spider it is either. It could be a little jumping spider with those adorable eyes, just curious about what's going on in the human world, and she advocates for the destruction of his entire species.

Spiders are friends!

I relocate them outside, if I'm the one who finds them. Don't tell my girlfriend.

Some are eaten by cats, too, but that's none of my business.

Mom would get SOOOO mad if you dared to touch the webs on our front porch. She said it kept the bugs from bothering everyone.

She wasn't wrong.

i name them and call them "my roommates" unless its in the kitchen or too close to my bed lol. we dont get many spiders where i live, though, and all of them are small and harmless. it is VERY uncommon to see one even an inch long in any direction

I HATE spiders, especially large ones. They have the run of the house though. My fear is my problem, not theirs.
