I have had quite a bit of experience with spiders in my time.

(update: I have left my banana spider alone and she's doing well out on the back deck)

My sister on the other hand is very afraid of spiders. I once visited her at her new house and she came running out of the bathroom without any clothes on. She had been taking a shower and a Daddy Long Legs was in there with her.
I had to rescue the poor spider from my screaming sister.

So, to answer your question, I guess it would depend on the maliciousness of the spider.

If it was a Black widow or Brown recluse I'd have to smash it.
If it's a Daddy long legs, I'd just help him out the door.
If it's a tarantula, I'd just get a cage and call her 'Suzie'.

Thanks for the update on the Banana Spider, I had been wondering what had happened there.

Now why can't we have Spiders like this one:

Where in the house are we talking? If I notice a spider in a living area of the house (kitchen, bed room, office, etc) the little guy is dead... if I notice a spider in another part of the house (garage, basement, attic, closet) I'm likely to let it go since they do help keep other pest out of the house.

Oh, we have lots of them. They come in on the firewood.

First, I see it.

Then either squish it, or sometimes get a piece of paper and let it walk on, and let it out of the house to the great outdoors.

I often remove them for other people in a house, because they are scared of them. No, I don't laugh at the people. :)

They don't scare me (I'm a girl) :)

But I wouldn't want a bite or anyone else to have a bite from an unknown poison spitter! They can be serious. Swelling, fatal allergic reaction, etc.

Some times if possible I'll try to catch it and put it outside, or just seal it in a container, but if it is in my room and it's night time or something I will probably kill it. If not, I fear it will get me when I'm sleeping hehe.

According to this T-Shirt, you're probably more dangerous to the spider than it is to you!:

I D (hide it from my husband) because he normally A, since he cannot B or C.
Sometimes I take pictures and make things like this:
