They're actually beneficial, & get rid of worse bugs* around your house. I do kill some spiders in house if they're going to get away, but when I can, I get
an empty jar & piece of thin cardboard, put the jar over the spider & slide it onto the cardboard (for a lid), then toss the spider outside into my garden.
(*such as crickets, earwigs, grasshoppers, ants & flies. Of those, only grasshoppers don't try to live in my house, so a few spiders really help.)
Around here, there's TONS of spiders, many kinds. My late mom was phobic about them & would suck them up with the vacuum hose, & then was afraid
to empty the vacuum....hahaha!
Well, the main thing is that you survived, eh?

I can see where you're coming from...I've been pretty lucky in that regard, & I'm sorry that you weren't so lucky. Like snakes, spiders are not after us, but
we get in their way sometimes & we're pretty big easy targets, though most spiders are too small to do much damage.

Looks like it was a hobo spider.

Patterning on the abdomen looks more like Hobo but I can't say for sure. Hobo's and Wolf's look so similar I have a hard time differentiating the two. They're both really common here in Utah. If you're not in the northwest it would have to be a Wolf though. I believe Montana is about as far east they go.
