This looks like a daddy-long-leg. It was hanging on a small web with very little strands on the celling in the restroom. It was the size of a daddy-long-leg.

It’s a Cellar Spider in genus Pholcus. Some people call them Daddy Long Legs, but we avoid that common name because it is also used for another kind of Arachnid ( order Opiliones) and a type of insect (Crane Flies).
