I have to say that as bugs go, spiders are the best, like ladybirds they are useful at getting rid of the real pests. They are going to be more scared of you than you are of them - the worst they can do to you is tickle if they run over your hand, but you could squish them flat in an instant. Not really an equal contest is it?
Actually, there are several British Spiders that can give a nasty bite and make you quite ill. However, you are right, in the great scheme of things, not much of a contest!
