Between me and my food is this spider...

So I have a hot plate of nachos waiting for me in the other room but between it and where I am, the lounge room, there is a dirty huge mother of all granddaddy spiders sitting above the door frame (I'm Australian and our spiders grow large) no doubt waiting to eat my face off as soon as I walk under it.
All I have on me right now is the actual lounge suite (four seater), my laptop, my comfy overstretched jumper dress, bunny slippers, a empty can of Fanta, a table lamp, a sleeping cat, a hair clip, three pillows (fairly squishy/soft), a throw rug and some pink nail polish.... what do I do people, WHAT DO I DO?

Man up and put it outside. It's eating all the Mosquitos and Flys.
Signed, A real Australian.
P.S. What type is it?
P.S.S. There is no need for a thread for this, the RB is fine.

i'd reccomend grabbing something long, use long range to kill it.

As a female who hates them it was a problem. I ended up opening a window and throwing a pillow near it so it walked out it. Unfortunately I also lost a pillow out the window, into the rain, but small price to pay I say.
lol facesmasher I did consider the curtain rod at one stage.
It was a red-headed mouse spider... we get those when it rains.
P.P.S Haxzor I'm truly sorry I choose a off-topic forum to post a thread as such, truly forgive me, I rarely post on the forums and as I was on wowhead and found myself in said predicament I thought it didn't harm anyone. I shall go back and read that my little pony thread now and learn from my error....

In the UK we've got some pretty unfriendly cats that will look at you askance without a thought for manners.
Our spiders are usually polite enough to have very small bodies and certainly wouldn't be seen with large angry-red jaws (or jaws large enough to be remotely visible for that matter). Goodness gracious, a stiff upper lip will only get one so far!(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Not something that I worry about on the google screen, but that would certainly be an intimidating spider to square off against IRL. I generally use a shoe, and I imagine this would be one where I'd use someone else's shoe rather than mine...

Whoa! WHOA! HOLY *!@#
That's like the eight-legged anti-christ. I recommend any neutralizing method that you can use from 10ft distance.

lol the females are worse, they're like walking golf balls but only stay on the ground, the red-headed males suck cause they climb and the tiniest movement puts them in arc-up-imma-kill-you-now strike position. The soft pillow was enough to tick it off but move it through the window.
@BlueRobe I used to be like your friend but more often then not normal can spray doesn't kill the bigger ones, just makes them madder. I remember a time I just had a bottle of shampoo and tried drowning it. All it did was give the thing a shinier coat.
