Somehow I'm OK with them when they're outside and just "sitting" there, and I can kill one in any other room.
But there is NO WAY I'm going to bed with a spider in the bedroom, and I can't kill it.

This phobia came about when I was kid and shared a bed with my sister. I saw a Daddy Long Legs on the wall when we went to bed and teased my (older) sister. Sister always slept with her mouth wide open. Yup. When I woke up I saw the spider sitting on her tongue.

Oh god ... now I got the heebie jeebies and I'm going to have to check every inch of the bedroom. WHY did I read this post at 10:24 PM?
