She asked me to kill the spider. Instead, I get the most peaceful weapons I can find. I take a cup and a napkin, I catch the spider, put it outside and allow it to walk away. If I am ever caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, just being alive and not bothering anyone, I hope I am greeted with the same kind of mercy.
Awwwwww that's so sweet! I used to be deathly terrified of spiders until a few years ago. Before that, I would get someone else to kill them for me, but then I realized that that they were just doing their own thing and not hurting me in any way. One day I suddenly started to feel really awful for having killed them at all, and from that point on I've always set them free instead of ending their lives right there and then. There's a see-through cup I keep on my counter for exactly this purpose hehe
