to hate bastarding daddy long legses with a passion?

[JeanneDeMontbaston]

Yes, I'm sure that's not how you spell the plural. Daddys long-legs?

It is 3.30, and every half hour since I went to bed one of them has woken me up by drifting up to my face with its horrible zzzzzz noise, then landing just as I wake up.

Bastards.

I detest daddy long-legs' and I kill them. I think their intent is evil, sorry

I harvest house spiders because they EAT daddy long-legs' so I no longer fear normal spiders.

They only live for 2 weeks in around September/October so once I see them in my garden I only have them for about a fortnight.

I'm with you OP [high five]

Ewww! They eat them?

Bleugh.

And thank you. A high five to you too!

Daddy long legs fly like they're drunk! You think you've moved out of their way and bam they've attached themselves to your top and are working their way towards your face! Poor ds was hysterical as it got closer and closer to his face :-( had to don my brave face and touch it < shudders >

Harvestmen are spiders that resemble daddy longlegses and daddy longlegses are crane flies. They are all lovely!

I'm baffled by daddy-long legs. They're so un-aerodynamic and bumbling, I sometimes wonder whether they could constitute proof that Darwin was wrong. How else can have they survived? A combination of pity and pulling the wool over everyone's eyes?

Crane flies scare the crap out of me, we have them everywhere at the moment. Had to sit in a swelteringly hot house last night with all the windows shut as they kept flying in. They truly bring me out in a cold sweat - awful things!

I'm absolutely terrified of daddy long legs. Flying spiders - what could be worse?! I hate the way they bounce off the wall and then fly at you, but you can't see them until they're right at your face. I actually slept on the couch one night when there was one in my bedroom and my flatmate didn't come home to rescue me. At least now I have DP to mash bugs with shoes

I am so glad I'm not alone in my hatred.

Ugh, ugh, ugh, no. HATE daddy long-legs/crane flies and HATE harvestmen. Both complete hell-beasts.

Daddy Long legs/CraneFlies don't bother me but those harvestmen (we call them 'littlebodybiglegs') - ugh

They make me sick

Can't stand them with their stupid fluttery bumbling, and those sort of trailing things underneath. Yuk yuk yuk.

But there's a massive evil fat bluebottle in my kitchen atm buzzing around like a crazy twat - not so keen on him either.

Oh, I hate them. The drifting! The drifting!

Can't stand harvestmen either. So bizarre. Tiny body perched on great long angular legs. And the way they move their legs up and down, sort of mechanically ...

OP, if it makes you feel any better/more normal, I'm terrified of moths and even butterflies. The way they do that slow flap, like they're considering coming after you...Urghuuuurrrgh!!
