Yeah, I had a house spider about that big. Thin little bugger, but stupidly long legs that wouldn't even fit under a pint glass during capture efforts. When I saw it in a corner of my room I froze solid before creeping to the door and legging it downstairs. Luckily my dear old mum managed to catch it and dump it a long, long way away from the house
I get that problem with the harvest spider things, which have seven one-inch legs and one three-inch leg attached to a tiny body, and the individual legs keep moving even if they are severed from the body.

Eventually I end up just smashing them with a newspaper or something.

You know what else I hate? Daddy Long Legs, aka the cranefly. Looks like a spider, but it flys. Little bastards
oh those things are annoying. They just about always come into your house if you have the lights on inside while it is dark outside and leave the door open for more than a few seconds. Hard to see too, and they always go to the ceiling where you cannot reach them.

What makes me really mad is when these bugs crawl into my lego models, since I cannot smack them easily there without breaking something and have to wait for them to crawl out.

Some small spiders have also made it into my computer somehow, since the last time I cleaned it out there was a dead spider body in there.
