I noticed that there is no point throwing them outside because the they just come back in, so I kill them, then I feel guilty... do you feel the same?

Funny you should ask that. I really do feel guilty. Yet I do it anyway because the idea of one of them getting on me is really creepy. Yesterday, believe it or not I "killed" the same spider twice!
It was in the tub, opposite end of the shower, and i realized after i was in the shower that it was there.i experienced my moment of guilt as i saw it drowning. then later that evening i took another shower and it was still there at the end of the tub. and it started wiggling. it wasn't dead yet. poor thing spent the day there, half drowned and to weak to move. this time it really did wash away down the drain. boy. did i feel evil!

I feel too guilty so i don't kill them anymore! I once stamped on an egg sac cos it was near my front door, and I had visions of all the baby spiders invading my house! But I felt terrible for doing it! I can't kill the big spiders more for the fact that they would make a mess and that would make me feel sick! So I just throw them outside and hope they go in someone else's house, not mine!

I usually put them outside because if I do kill something I feel so bad and so guilty it bothers me for awhile. I can't stand to flush a spider down the drain. I keep thinking its going to come back up and get revenge.

Yes, When the spider/bugs is on my body, then due to panic, i sometimes kill them. Then I feel Guilty. But when it comes again and again, then without feeling guilty, i kill it.

I don't generally kill spiders but any other bug like daddy long legs and moths I feel I have to and dont feel guilty. I heard it was bad luck to kill spiders, don't know how true this is.

Yes, sometimes. Depends though, I have a bias for the 'cute' ones. Ladybugs, butterflies, I can not kill them, they are so pretty, but for bigger 'uglier' bugs, like spiders, I can kill....
It's horrible, but I think things like spiders, hornets, bees, (etc) all have defense mechanisms that could really harm humans and it is just the fear of getting hurt that may also lead me to kill them over ladybugs.

Not at all.
I got bit by a spider 2 years ago. It bit my finger in my sleep. My finger swelled up. Then my whole hand swelled up to twice it's normal size. I ended up going to the doctor. They had to lance it and give me an antibiotic shot & for good measure a tetnus shot.(since I was overdo for it) This all happened within 3-4 days time.

I think you should throw them out.
I mean, whether you throw them out or not, they wil still find a way in. It wont make a difference to THEIR population.
However, doing so would make you less guilty. So do it.
And if it bothers you that much, find a way to ensure they dont get in in the first place. Install some flyscreens or sumthing.

I always feel they might send a silent signal to there mates to invade the house if i kill them...
So i throw them outside when ever i can with the exception of daddy long legs x x x
