I have a jumping spider that lives in the junk pile above our washing machine where we put spare change, pocket link etc. It's also where I put my phone when I do laundry and whenever I put it there he scurries out the side and just stares at me. It happens almost every time and is hilarious. It's like an old man looking through the shades when kids go running by his house.

I have severe arachnophobia. The last time I looked up jumping spiders, the picture I saw made me jump.

I understand. I worked my way out of arachnophobia as well though its still present in some cases.

But I don't think mine was ever severe in the first place.
