In the comments section of an article about big scary spiders:

That spider was scarily intelligent- it must have been watching him through its lair in the wall- it knew the man was cutting up "food"- yikes! It must have had good eyesight..
I think a trip to the DIY store for some cement might have been the man's next move..

When I lived in Venezuela years back I was visited by some sort of freakishly large spider while making lunch; it was at least as big as a good sized melon and powerfully built.
I was cutting a large chorizo sausage when the **** thing just wandered straight up from beside me, got a hold of the sausage with its mandibles and started dragging it backwards towards the wall where it came from. I froze completely, still holding the knife in my hand. The vile thing let go of my lunch for a moment, slowly stood up on its back legs and started to hiss at me .
Then it casually stood down again and began molesting the chorizo with its vile mandibles for what seemed like ages, turning to menace me every now and then.
Then it grabbed what remained of the sausage and left loathsomely through a very large crack in the wall.I was still frozen to the spot, staring at that point in the wall, when the creature suddenly reappeared .
It stood at the entrance of the crack and with front legs undulating about, hissed in my direction and then disappeared again.
