My cousin was in my house the other day, and he found this spider in my toilet. He didn't know what to do about it so he stored it in some sort of a container. It was in there for a long time and it was on the sink so he kinda irritated the spider with water. He told me about it and we decided to set it free the next morning. And he was asking me if the spider actually got angry with us and if it will come back to my house to try and get 'revenge' or something. I didn't think much about it at first, but now I'm getting kinda scared. Is there any insect which is really able to make their way back to a place they have been to before?

yes they can. they use all kinds of different way to locate where they have been before.
One type of wasp uses land marks, such as pebbles, fauna or sticks to locate their nest. If you move the pebbles and stuff around the wasp can't find home until another wasp exsists the hole.
You can completely destroy a black widows web and she will build another one in the very same spot.

I think the ability to exact revenge upon ones enemies is strictly a human trait. The spider is too busy finding food, shelter or a mate to worry about you.

Thats cute. For one spiders aren't insects. Bees can tell each other where to go by dancing. Ants leave a chemical trail that can be followed by their brothers and sisters.
