Fly on bed

There was a big black fly on my bed, in the covers, obviously I've stripped the bedding to wash it and apparently I'm over reacting, am I?

of course you are😀

WhateverHappenedToMe · 25/05/2023 15:26

Yes

Sirzy · 25/05/2023 15:27

If you washed your bedding every time some sort of creepy landed on it you would never get it as far as the bed!

StuffLoriThangs · 25/05/2023 15:27

Yes

dudsville · 25/05/2023 15:27

Truly, whatever makes you happy. Over reacting about this would be to make a thing of it.

TheFlis12345 · 25/05/2023 15:28

How many times do you think a fly has been on your bed without you even knowing about it?

Wishitsnows · 25/05/2023 15:30

That is a huge overreaction!

user1473878824 · 25/05/2023 15:30

Do you plan to eat off it?

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 25/05/2023 15:32

What do you do when you’ve been out all day? What if more than one fly landed on it without your knowledge?

This is bonkers to me.

CaptainMyCaptain · 25/05/2023 15:33

You are over reacting and you know it.

BooksAndHooks · 25/05/2023 15:34

So what happens if a fly lands on your washing whilst it’s drying? Do you rewash it?

RobertsRadio · 25/05/2023 15:36

....and apparently I'm over reacting, am I?

Yes I'm afraid you are. 🪰

KnickerlessParsons · 25/05/2023 15:43

Some people are weird!

Florissante · 25/05/2023 15:44

No, of course not. I hope you got rid of the bed, too, just to be on the safe side.

Hbh17 · 25/05/2023 15:47

Ffs, this can't be a real question..... nobody would actually do this in real life.... would they?!

brunettemic · 25/05/2023 15:48

Yep, but so what, it’s your bed!

WhotheHellisEdgar · 25/05/2023 15:50

Not at all obvious to me why you did that???? 🤔

...apparently I'm over reacting, am I?
Yes, you absolutely are.

limitedperiodonly · 25/05/2023 15:51

Do you sleep with your mouth open?

letsgojo · 25/05/2023 15:52

Thanks for the comments. The person who told me I was overreacting was myself. This is just part of my OCD and belittling myself for overreacting whilst not being able to stop cleaning etc is shit.

Do you have an OCD diagnosis? Does this person know?

SummerHouse · 25/05/2023 15:58

So yes you have overreacted but that's fine. Clean sheets tonight for your punishment! If you are going to overreact, don't berate yourself. It's not rational for me to get out of bed to check the oven but my rational side can STFU.

Yes I do. I take meds and have therapy. The person is me. It's me telling me I'm overreacting whilst not being able to stop 😢
