To think there's nothing more annoying than

[OverpricedFloorCushion]

A fly?

Stupid fucker has buzzed around beside me for the past half hour. Landing on me, threatening to crawl into my drink, making stupid shadows in the lampshade and bzzzzzzing constantly.

Theyre the most pointless annoying creatures I've ever come across.

This made me giggle. I have one in my room too! Keeps landing on my arm as I try to sleep. And nothing so satisfying as to giving it a good wack, but nothing so fustrating as to when it gets away!! God I sound psycho.

Drive me bananas. Absolutely agree. Ack making me itch

Its has followed me to bed. I tried to shut the door on it but it got in.

I can highly recommend getting a massive cat to hunt them down for you. It's a slightly expensive and complicated way of dealing with flies, but it's effective and that's the main thing.

YANBU. What is the point of the little cunts?

Hmm they are annoying but nothing compared with mosquitos who hide in the light and then whine in your ear just as you’re falling asleep so you just know they’re going to munch you. Little sods.

Ah, the humans have opened the window. I think I'll just bash myself against it 8000 times instead of flying out of the gigantic gap then fly around the kitchen for the next hour.

I have one here too buzzing around ever since I opened the window earlier. Buzz, buzz, buzz. Bzz, bzz, bzz. Buzz, buzz, buzz.
I'm going to kill it soon.

There's nothing more annoying than having the washing machine out of order just as you find the Monsoon cardi you were going to wear tomorrow for a job interview is actually shit stained after using public transport.

Actual shit. Bloody, maelenic shit. It reeks.

Also scratching at four insect bites, probably fleas on my right hip and leg.

I am rapidly running out of clean clothes and soaking my cardi, hoping my washing machine will be up and running by the weekend.

I get dive bombed by flies all the time. My family has always wondered why flies drive me up the wall (we are in Australia) and they thought it was all in my imagination when I complained about flies attacking my head. Apparently hair product seems to attract them but we all use the same shampoo etc and no one else has the problem. My family have changed their minds about my issue with them after they watched them in action last summer. If they are in the house, they almost always wind up hovering over my head or landing on my hair. I just want to kill them all.

And they keep bapping away at the window acting like they want to get out - open the window - and they zoom off in the other direction, little feckers.

Oh Jesus, Ginger, that’s grim 🤢

Almost... But...a mosquito 😡

Kill.them all

I feel bad for flies! Can you imagine spending your life zooming around gardens and fields and then finding yourself unwittingly prisoned in a house? They must wonder what the hell has happened!

None are unwittingly imprisoned. They can squeeze in through a two inch gap and then refuse to be driven back out through opened french doors. The stupid fuckers.

EatsFarts please can your cat train my cat? He’ll attack beetles, spiders, dead leaves, shadows, invisible orbs, but put a fly near him and recoils like it’s a demonic force.

I try to be kind to all living creatures but they ruin it by licking my tea mug with their poopy tongues, or landing in my lunch and just fucking up everything. We’re awash with the little arseholes and they’re driving me mad.

Oh and some kind of mothra sized monster has found its way into the landing light shade and is thrapping itself into a frenzy. It’s like living in a sodding jungle.

Get a badminton racquet, and...

Best thing I ever bought was one of those electric bug bats. It looks like a tennis racket and I got it on Amazon. I do give them a chance to get out of the WIDE OPEN WINDOW which they are so stupid they miss and fly into the closed bit and then I whack 'em. Very quick death as they get electrocuted and sizzle but it serves them right for not escaping when they had the chance. Very satisfying!!

The little bastards are one of the reasons I have bug nets on my windows. I can open them and not be invaded.

Have also perfected a sequence of opening and closing the doors in order to minimise the number that get into the house. If one does get into the kitchen it can't get any further and if it doesn't go out again I open the garage door and once it goes in, I shut the door. Saves a lot of energy chasing them around with a tissue box or kitchen roll or whatever is to hand.

As for feeling sorry for them, I suppose a life of living on shit isn't a great one.

We used to have those fly papers,as they were called, this was in the 1940 -1950 era.People left their doors and windows open more in the Summer, and nobody had a fridge,and sometimes food got left out on a table etc.so lots of flies were landing everywhere.

I don't suppose these fly papers are sold now, and they did look horrible hanging from the ceiling,with dead flies stuck on them.

Weren’t they covered with arsenic? Butchers used to have a sort of electric version of them too, bizarre contraptions.

Haha! I just voted in the minority that YABU, despite the fact I'm an Aussie and our flies are the worst.

I know what you mean though. When I used to run I would often get a fly stuck behind my sunglasses who would stay in close proximity to my eyeballs for the entire 10km. I'd let it out and up the pace to (stupidly) try to outrun the blue-arsed bastard, but it would always work its way back behind the lens and resume its buzzing.

Why it wanted to get so cosy with me I will never know. I'd end up looking like a total loon slapping away at my own face and yelling at the tiny insect to piss off all while trying not to break my stride, but it only seemed to encourage it. Got so annoying I started to consider running in swimming goggles.

I just bought one of those bluelight electric zapping boxes. So satisfying.
