The spiders I have encountered

Hi guys!
This may seem like a very weird post but I was having a conversation with my sister about the various spiders that have been in my house and decided I should share them. By the way, I am very scared of spiders normally and if any actually come into my house I usually get someone to remove them, but these are the ones that have made a lasting impression on me.

Bob 1
This was by far the cutest spider. You might say that spiders don't have personalities or whatever but I beg to differ. Bob the first was a tiny spider that lived on the ceiling in my bathroom. Usually when I see a spider, I scream and ask someone to remove it for me but bob seemed so small I just left him. His favourite part of the ceiling seemed to be directly over the shower, and I was a bit worried that when I was in the shower he would drop on me and as much as I was willing to leave him alone I didn't want this to happen. However,  every time I turned the shower on he would pause for a few seconds and then run (often falling off the ceiling and have to climb back up the webby thing they make as he was running so fast, it was like when little kids run really fast and keep falling over) as far away from the shower as possible. I found this so cute, as soon as the shower was turned off he would start to take tentative steps back towards his favourite spot, as though he was scared the shower would come on again. Sadly bob died when LJ squashed him :-(

Bob 2
This was a spider the same size as bob 1 but lived in the downstairs toilet room rather than  the upstairs bathroom. I only let him stay there because I thought he would be cute like bob 1 but he ran out in front of the hoover one day and unfortunately I didn't react in time. 

Bob 3
Lived behind the sink in the downstairs toilet. Again he was the same size as bob 1 and more sociable than bob 2. When going into that toilet, Bob 3 would come out from behind the sink and walk along the wall beside you.  Ordinarily this would have scared me but I found it quite cute and as soon as you left he would go back behind the sink. He died of natural causes (by this I mean I went in one day and he was dead).

Pablo
Now I didn't like Pablo. He didn't stay in the house for more than 2 hours that I know of but I did find him on the light shade. He was running about but as soon as you looked at him he would stop.  Can you remember the childhood game where one person would be the wolf and other kids would shout what time is it Mr wolf and run towards him but if the wolf turned round you had to stop moving,  it reminded me of that.  I did get LJ to remove him because I was scared he was going to drop on me and eat me alive.

Ben
This is the spider that lives on the wing mirror of my car. He likes to sit in the middle of the mirror,  but when I start the engine he moves to the side so he's not in the way. I know this is probably entirely coincidental but I'd like to think he's just being nice and helping me out by allowing me to see in my wing mirror.

So that's my spiders (I use the term my loosely) and I know that people are going to wonder why I have done a post about spiders but I Don't have any pets yet and the spiders mentioned have mostly shown some form of personality which had amused me. X
