I had one in our garden, flushed out when I was hosing down the table and chairs. He/she climbed up on the table top and reared up at me as I came near.
All I had to hand was a spade, but not wanting to damage our new table, I flicked him off first.
Do you think I could see it on the grass? Bloody hell, now what? There's a seriously pissed funnel web on the lawn and i'm standing there in thongs.
Luckily for me, not for him, I saw him first.
Swing went my arm..
Clong when the spade..
Swing went my arm..

There wasn't much left to see. Not so scary now Mr Spider.

you should have seen me
most men would buckle when confronted by such a formidable foe
but not i
oh no
grasping my trusty (rusty) spade
sunshine glaring off my sweating muscles
i stood before the Shelob, undaunted
with the grace of a dancer
and the strength of a warrior
i slew the foul beast
