    Why is it

    When you have a window open the slightest a fly (or more worrying a wasp) comes in and no matter HOW WIDE you open the window, they NEVER fly out of it again unless you play bat and fly with them to get them out?

    Stupid insects.

    /reminds self to get fly spray at Tesco.

    talk about it!
    i like to open my window at night when iam playing abit of CS:S because the room gets hot and all of a sudden ive got all these bugs on my screen !
    even when i open the window just abit this happens

    the thing that annoys me is moths! because you rarley see them durring the day because they dont like the light or somthing, but as soon as its night time they cant get enough of the light

    Rant over!

    I have a rather strict but fair policy for animals that annoy me like that - annoy me like that and I will kill you immediately.

    It is very successful.

    Or a picture of me with the caption 'Warning - I Live Here' on it, like people do when pretending they own a large, vicious Doberman to deter burglars.

    I have a slightly different approach; I don't bother with those signs, but do actually own a large, vicious Doberman. I fail to see why I should pre-warn a burglar - let him find out for himself...

    Likewise. If they annoy me, they're dead. Only exception is Bees, cos I like them.

    'Course I got a war going on with Daddy long legs(crane files) after one of them died on top of my soundcard and caused an echo whenever I use teamspeak(I think part of it melted and shorted some stuff

    Gonna report you to trading standards... i bet he's not vicious at all... bet he's as vicious as my GSD.

    EDIT: get a cat... sammy is very good at moths, he likes the crunching sound they make.

    i know u all know but i wanna say and express my knowledge anyway,

    thats the reason computer bugs are called bugs, thanks to a moth that got stuck in one of the first computers and shorted a circuit

    I have a lethal combination of a barbecue lighter, electric fly swat and a classic novelty hand fly swat.

    Well, no, he's not, but you are cheating, you already know he isn't.

    Having said that, should he catch someone breaking in, I'm sure he'll do a very good impression of a vicious dog.

    After the half a mouse in shoe incident, I should think a moth poses little challenge to Sammy.

    SpecOfDust: As for the bee \ wasp thing, I don't buy into the whole bees are nice, wasps are evil thing. They both sting you, it hurts both times, and they both get their face splattered over my wall if they start arseing about when I'm trying to watch the snooker.

    As do spiders, flies, daddy long legs, moths, hover flies, members of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, and indeed anything that thinks its a good idea to buzz around my tv \ pc screen.

    And as for those weird silver things you get running about on the toliet floor sometimes... they get it as well.

    Heh, in Life skills today, we were talking about death, and somebody killed a fly to start the lesson .

    Anyway, yeah I find that really annoying, especially at night, I will open my window the TINIEST, bit, and have my fly net up, AND my curtains closed, and they still get through, bloody great big moths and spiders >_<, so before dark I close my window, usually helps keep them out, then I put my fan on if it gets hot.
