I was bitten by a jumping spider when I was a child. I used to play with them, never had a problem and then one day for no reason, I got bitten.

I was bitten by a cat. Many, many times.

I used to play with a cat as a child, never had a problem, and then one day, for no reason, I got bitten.

And it happened again and again!

No complaints, would grow up with a cat again.

Me too but it was only a nibble.
i do not believe it is possible to be bitten by a jumping spider (and most other spiders) - they are just too small.
Can confirm. I cornered one in a windowsill as a child and was bitten.
What did you expect? Corner me in and I'll probably bite.
