I used to get scared to wash spiders down the bath or sink, because they always seemed to reappear in the sink in my bedroom, and I was convinced they'd gather all their spider friends together to gang up on me. To combat this, as I didnt fancy taking baths with spiders, I used to put the plugs in all the surrounding sinks as soon as I'd done it.
Nowadays I'm not so scared, primarily because I dont have a sink in my room anymore, and also because if there is a spider in the bath I'll have a shower, and vice versa, like last week, when there was a spider above the shower and I was scared it would fall into my hair.
