In three days i will get an email about this from my wife on the subject sent to her by a friend or she will nonchalantly ask me to spray for bugs.

Just to be on the safe side, I avoid public bathrooms like the plague anyways.

Hey, you gotta admit, even though it's bogus, it's an interesting little story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telamonia_dimidiata

In 2002, the spider became the subject of an email hoax claiming that it was a fatal spider found lurking under toilet seats in North Florida. This hoax was a rehashing of an older email circulated in 1999 with similar claims, except under the name "South American Blush Spider (arachnius gluteus[sic])" - literally "butt spider". No such events ever occurred.[2]

Butt Spider oflmao: You have to appreciate that kind of creativity.
