Many of the spiders we see are wolf or house spiders. They are black and hairy with a light/yellow stripe and tend to be large spiders. To the contrary brown recluse spiders are a lot less common, small, thin, and brown. Sometimes people confuse the two because they are afraid of the bite of a brown recluse.
