I find these guys every few days staring at me when I shower, they only show up when I shower. I don't kill them, I just put em outside and they seem to get larger every time I find them. And no, furiously masturbating doesn't work with these guys.
My most recent catch: 
Are they supposed to get this big? My neighbors are probably getting tired of me walking outside naked holding a cup. Do I file a police report? |

I've found a few of those in my shed, about the same size the quarter. I didn't know what they were at first but after checking online, I just put the jumping spiders back outside = I haven't seen black widows in a while.

Jumping spiders are the only ones I don't immediately eradicate with extreme prejudice. They're alright in my book
There's some huge ones in my backyard that hang around the citrus trees and get fat chomping on the bees. |

I would probably slip and fall if I encountered a spider in my shower.
I'd kill it with fire if I survived. |

You were in the shower? What kind of cookies were you eating and how were you armed?
After all pertinant information is given, then we can talk about the spiders. |

Eeek.
Most jumping spiders around here are black and white, never seen a red one before. Most of them are also very small - smaller than most other spiders around here, although I did see one recently that was about the same size as in your pic, and that is the biggest I've ever seen one here. Probably from last year, survived over the unusually mild winter we had. I hate spiders, but the small jumping spiders and the yellow garden spiders are about the only ones I don't really mind that much, as long as they aren't inside the house or spinning webs in front of the car door... eta - I wonder what things look like when you can see UV light... |

The little jumpers were just watching over you, as guardians, while you were vulnerable and weaponless in the shower.

I have Jumping Spiders living behind my desk at work. Every now and then, one comes out next to my keyboard, extends its front legs, looks up at me for a while, and then goes back.
I've had these little neighbors (multiple generations, of course) for almost ten years. I like them. |

If you don't kill them, OP, they come back bigger after you let them go.
Soon, you'll have a bunch of jumping spiders this size in shower:

I saw two of these outside my house the other day. Killed them instantly.
Then I went and researched what they were. After my research, which included a video, I felt TERRIBLE. I will never kill another jumping spider again. These are good critters. I even showed my wife (hates all spiders) the data, and this video, and she agreed that we will not be killing them. Don't forget to turn your speakers up.

Spiders stairing at you in the shower...........obviously there can be only 2 reasons for this type of behavior:
1. They possess the ghey and are planning to some how rape your anus or 2. They are studying your habits when you are the most defenseless and planning an attack to take over the "oasis" you have in there to keep for their own. Either way your screwed and should purchase a flame thrower asap (i.e. a bic lighter and a can of WD40)

I hate spiders with a passion (especially tarantulas) but the jumping spiders are kinda neat to watch. They're kinda like tiny eight-legged ferrets or baby ninjas.

My wife actually told me to "go easy" on a recent one I put outside. It surprised her by sitting on a magazine that she was about to read and she tossed the magazine across the room before realizing what kind of spider it was.
