I've walked through so many spider webs over the past few weeks. I do find them very rude. And it's just like, man, if you put your web where I'm going to walk through it then it sucks for you too, then you gotta go rebuild it.

I still don't kill them, though. Just relocate them to somewhere sufficiently far away that hopefully they don't build their next web in the same place.

Except for one spider that I maybe killed. I walked into its web and it stood on my arm and bit me so I flicked it away. No idea where it went or whether it survived. But honestly, what a jerk.
