We get a lot of the teeny tiny itty bitty ones around here, and I'm usually too lazy to bother chasing after those. They sit in the corner by the front door and don't bother anyone.

But anything larger than two millimeters gets squished. Anything larger than a dime (including leg span) triggers at least a momentary fear reaction. I've never encountered one that made me completely lose my shit, except for the time I bravely swatted one about the size of a quarter... and a cloud of about a hundred baby spiders poofed out of the dead mommy. That one made me scream.
