Well, damn. I guess I won't be posting any pictures of cute spiders to this thread, then. :-D
Nepiophage:
Spiders are cuddly and fun. Arachnophobia is like homophobia -- irrational bigotry. When I start my own religion I will make spiders sacred creatures which it is a grievous sin to kill.

Real phobias do exist - please do not belittle them.

As many as you like - but suitably spoilered, please, as we know there are people here who do not wish to see them.

Apparently, jumping spiders. It did get up on that counter easily. But don't worry, they just want to be friends.

Phobias are by definition irrational- it's not belittling to say so. Neither, in this context, is comparing these two phobias and calling them bigoted.

Unless it's a funnel web, which are somewhat less cuddly and certainly no fun if they bite you. Good thing antivenom is so effective.

I've only seen one once. It was in a pool. Lucky for me that I was aware of how good they are at surviving submerged for long periods of time.
edit: I forgot to quote the post to which I was replying.
