I would have put the spider outside, back into nature. I'm a believer that insects, although can be pests, still have a right to do there thing.
But I see that that wasn't the point of your thread. It was about the husband reaction. When I cut myself while cutting an onion a couple summers ago, I was in a state of panick as I bleed more blood then I thought was in my finger. My DH reaction was, stop bleeding everywhere, wrap up your finger, don't make the mess worst. I'm surprised he didn't make me hold my hand out the window on the way to the ER, where I wound up with more sympathetic people and a bunch of stitches.
MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
