FLIES! Why is it that they can find their way in through the tiniest gap no problem, and then persist to troll you all day by buzzing 5mm past your face and land on stuff you're using, but you can open every fking door and window in your house or car to give them a clear passage back out and they will defiantly refuse to cooperate furious.

One of the few times I’ve seen ‘defiantly’ used in its correct context on PH!
Definitely a 10 from me!

That's something that's bugged me for years.

Use of the term uniparty, often but not always accompanied by other tinfoilist nonsense.

That's why you need an Executioner Fly Killer Tennis Racket Zapper, which is way more expensive than a rolled up newspaper or a tin of fly spray, but a million times more satisfying (cheaper, stter versions are available).

See the resistor snip mod, serious zap power with that done.

The flies that come in here are the 5000 IQ ones and are long gone to the other side of the room, well out of reach before you've even tensed your muscles in your wrist to swat something at them. They seem to use my house as some sort of avoidance proving ground before eventually leaving of their own accord and going to troll some other poor fker. irked

A flip flop used in a table tennis bat style is the most satisfying way of dealing with flies. The 'thwack' you get when you catch one right is sublime. Plus it's a bit of cardio and keeps the reflexes sharp.

Two or three swipes is all I need these days, surprisingly accurate.

The people who plague the political posts, constantly telling everyone what they think and starting arguments only a fking moron would be interested in having.


There’s one particular Napoleon complex with over Seventy posts.

You have to be fundamentally broken to believe that anyone is interested in what you have to say, if you are having to explain it over 70x times.

Tried once, I was out, so they chucked it at a newsagent 2 miles away in the centre of town.

My best ever was a tea towel used as a whip - caught in mid flight, whip-crack, and the fly shattered. Never repeated it though. I use a cat these days (not as a whip) as they seem to casually catch flies with no effort.

And people (seems to be a work thing), that sign their emails with just their first initial.

It was recognised.
Can I ask when people [increasingly] draw attention to a post by writing "deserves recognition" - do you really think you are the only thread follower out of hundreds[?] who has noticed the comment and understood its undeniably complex yet comic meaning?
