To physically detest this?

Flies. They genuinely make me feel physically unwell. I have such a strong disgust response to seeing one. Not only that but it ales me irrationally angry if one gets in my house. There's one currently flying around my living room when I'm trying to relax and I actually feel angry. I'd much rather be in the room with 10 spiders than 10 flies. Is it just me!?? Am I odd? 😂

You're not odd! Or maybe we both are I can't stand them, they make me physically cringe when they are around. I love insects keep some as pets but can't stand anything that makes me feel dirty. I also have a huge fear of them crawling on my naked body when I'm sleeping and going somewhere they shouldn't.

Oh phew! At least there's 2 of us then 😂
I genuinely do not have this response to any other animal or insect. I just cannot bear them. 😖

Nope! They eat your food and then spit it back out whilst simultaneously shitting on it 🤮 Horrible bastards!!!

I think they're disgusting and hate it when they come in the house.

I was like this and have only really improved in recent years tbh. Now I don't hate them but I just can't relax when I have a fly in, probably why I just let the spiders be 😂

Oh this is good, I'm not alone then!

I can't even look at a photo without feeling sick. And there's an episode of Breaking Bad where Walt spends the entire time trying to swat a fly in the lab. I can't watch that either, it makes me so enraged 😂

And also, dead bodies swarming in flies on TV (yes, Luther I’m talking about you) 😱

It's the buzz that they make. I can't relax until its flown out or dropped dead. I saw a poster once about what happens when they land on food......awful things

I feel exactly the same, can't settle if there's one in the house. Fortunately I am lethal with a damp tea cloth and have perfected the art of flicking them right out of the air as they pass, so satisfying! I'm quite happy to cohabitate with spiders, I don't even evict them anymore but flies have to go, immediately.
