You must have experienced this at some point...
You jump in the shower, switch it on and everything, only to find a "big, hairy spider" scaling the wall, or - like it was for me this morning - just sat there, all innocent and still, waiting to be stepped-on, or to take a chunk out of my left-foot.
Anyway...
Just like anyone else would've done, I tried to go and flush the thing straight back down the drain it probably crawled from.
...Only, no matter how many times it "disappeared", it soon came crawling back up again!
And it did it about 5 times! - Before I grabbed the shampoo bottle and dropped it right on his head after his final-lap around the base of the shower! :)
But no matter how much I drowned, and how lifeless it looked, it would soon start wriggling its legs again after a few seconds, like every new burst of water suddenly kick-started it's heart, or something - no matter how many of it's eight-legs it lost!
But I always thought spiders were like us, and couldn't survive in water without oxygen for some time?
Bloody spiders!
Hate the things! - especially the big-ones!
(And yes, I know the ones in this country can't actually 'hurt-you'!) :P

Everything's water resistant, just not water proof.
No, they arent water resistant. However they are quite tricky to drown, when the fear of death is on them, theres no stopping the little blighters.
Flush them down the toilet. Then if they do come back you'll never know about it.
I don't mind the big ones, it's the little ones that get places and do stuff.
Oh yes.
Usually I get my mum to take care of them.

Yeah, my dog eats spiders.
But usually, she'll now only chew them up and leave them squashed-up on the floor somewhere - for me to step-on!
Either that, or she'll, somehow, pull some of their legs off and then leave them on the floor, struggling to move as they wriggle-around, helplessly, in our hallway.
I find anything with wings to be the worst though. They can - quite literally - get anywhere!
Especially flies, since you can NEVER hit them!
And you can never be sure as whether or not to hit a bee or wasp, since there's every chance it will get back-up and sting you (...even if it does die, afterwards).
And I'm not scared of spiders. I just don't like the really big ones.
If I was scared of them - like i used to be - I'd run a mile and get someone else to get rid of it.

It was some sort of super spider, sent from the future Terminator style to scare young girls... and cowards like you ;)
I've always wondered what happens to moths/spiders etc when you put 'em down the sink with a tidal wave of tap water. But there are other ways of dealing with them.
I let my cat sleep in my room for various reasons - it means she's warm and comfortable, she'll usually wake me up in the morning by scratching at the door or jumping at my face, and most importantly of all - I can use her to eat moths and spiders that dare venture into my pit. She's an insect killing machine.

if they are in the bath, plug in, and turn on the hot as fast as you can.
the power will either rip its legs off, or it will drown.
i was in the bath the other day when a big spider came up the side of the bath, i hate spiders, so i got out to squish it and it had gone, heh.
stupid spiders.

Spiders, insects and anything else small and gross are notoriously resis**tant agains**t death.
Example:
I am in my room one night pos**ting on the forums, when a flying moth thing lands on the actual screen of the monitor, before actually repeatedly flying right into my face. Well I wasn't takin' any of dis sh*t n***er, so I flicked it off me so it landed on the floor, took a piece of A4 paper, placed it over the moth, took a CD case (Evanescence - "Fallen", fact fans) and crushed the moth under the paper and CD case (I didn't want to get moth cuts on it, see).
Only... it wouldn't die. It was furiously flapping around underneath my moth killing device; so much so that it was making my arm shake. Seriously, this thing jus**t would not die. After around 10 minutes, the flapping and s**truggling got weaker and eventually s**topped. I looked at the moth and it was s**till moving a bit. So I took a remote control to it. Dead. :)
My next moth encounter was another night when I was playing on XBox Live. Only this moth landed on my TV screen and kept flying all over it, obs**tructing my view and potentially damaging my reputation on XBox Live! NOOOOOOOOO! I grabbed my wallet and *splat* completely dead moth. Though I now had a smear on my TV and moth guts on my wallet, which smelt particularly vile.
