There is something about snakes and spiders are scary

So my mom, she doesn’t like neither one of them and they freak her out. One time, I asked her if she was to have a random encounter would she prefer it to be a spider or a snake. She said she prefers it to be a spider rather than a snake. She said if it’s a spider all you need is some bug spray, a shoe, and just smash it and it’s gone.
