I went into my kitchen and set my phone on the counter next to the fridge and grabbed a spoon out of the silverware basket we have on the counter. as I reached for a spoon across the counter I noticed a little dark grey bug no bigger than a 3or 4 yr. old's pinky nail it was really,really,really fastly scampering up the side of the fridge. it wasn't the usual way you see a spider walk it was kinda, like, almost actually scampering up ;the fridge. So I just thought it was a little bug and leaned in to get that spoon across the counter. as i leaned in my face met very close to the fridge and i noticed it had 8 legs! it was a spider!! It was kinda the body shape of a widdow in how the head is tiny and the butt is huge and round, but in this spider the head was tiny and the butt WAS big yes, but very flat like a tick's body is flat. the coloration is dark grey and has only one long light grey stripe going accross its back. i need to know what kind of spider ppl think it is & provided pics.

I kept leaning in very close to the fridge and then pulling away quickly and leaning back in and pulling away to try to observe it with out it coming at me and I could only get the colors of it I dont at all know my spiders so i couldn't tell what kind of spider it was. I was walking back to the counter to get my cell phone and as i reached my arm accross the counter to grab my phone the little spider jumped completely backwards off the fridge the way a flea hops. i reasonably freaked and backed about 30 ft. away and screamed! I thought it jumped on me. i don't know at all what kind it could be. I was talking to my mom on the phone cuz she is at work and she said it was probably a wolf spider. I said "mom! its the size of a freaking toddler's pinky nail! how could it be a wolf spider?!?" she said "well its just a guess cuz it matches colors." its a pretty tiny spider so I can't see it well but I don't think its hairy. i just want ppl to tell me what they think it is and have pics 4me.
