If there's one thing millions of us hate for a reason we can't quite pin down, it's spiders. I'm sure there's something about the way brain signals bounce around my synapses that makes me uncomfortable just looking at them, but I could do with not knowing the specifics, as dealing with surprise spiders in the home is enough.
