I repeat, it is NOT a hobo spider and it is NOT a brown recluse.
This species is a barn funnel weaver spider, also known as the domestic house spider. It's related to the hobo spider but distinguishable from the striped legs, which in this photo are clear.
It seems that most of the "I found this spider in my house" threads feature barn funnel weavers, and they repeatedly get misindentified as hobos or brown recluses by paranoid arachnophobes, and always recognizable as barn funnel weavers by the stripy legs. Do take the time to learn the difference.
