Poll: MOTHS!

[Screamarie]

I'm in Texas in the states and I am a bit besieged by the fluttering bastards but I don't really mind them too much. For the most part they stay on the ceiling and don't bother me. They don't bite so I don't mind when one lands on me, I just get him onto my hand and set him away somewhere, usually the wall....the only thing that really bothers me is when they land on my back and I get a ticklish feeling for no reason. That freaks me out cause I'm thinking "WHO THE FUCK IS TOUCHING ME?!"


But then again, I have a cat who likes to chase them about so maybe she's keeping them away for the most part so you probably have it worse than I Hazy.

You know, I can think of one thing worse than moths invading your home, and that's mosquitoes invading your home.

Goddammit I hate those things, and the hot, humid weather brings them out.

But more on topic, I hate moths also. Thankfully we only have relatively small ones here which can be easily dealt with using fly spray.

OMG you've got a new avatar! When did that happen?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Invest in screens? Do British people not do screens? I can sit in open-windowed comfort and mock them as they flutter ineffectually in the window

We are not like whatever peasant country you come from

We do not fight nature, for nature doesn't really try that hard in our neck of the woods.

Not like Australia. Australia won't ever stop trying to kill you.

I am from America, the nation ingenious enough to weave a fine metal mesh and place it in windows for the purpose of simultaneously opening a window and turning on a light at night without inviting in half the living creatures in your county to come in and enjoy it. We do not fight nature, for we have triumphed years ago. Except for the bears, but the bear-proof screens are surely on their way

You know what we did to our bears?

We sent them on a boat to colonise the Americas.

Has your mind been blown?

OMG you've got a new avatar! When did that happen?

I could say the same about you!

I changed mine, ohhhhh, about 4 or 5 days ago?
There haven't really been any threads that I've felt like posting in, in that time, so it's no surprise that people are just starting to notice the change now

Why change? I got bored of the old one, which is a shame really, it was probably one of the most recognized avatars on this site by now.

Not nearly as huge and recognisable as my penis ego penis avatar.

Hahaha true!

Both avatars are cool I'll just have to get used to this one cause like you said, the old one was so recognisable.

Annoyed the living hell out of me in my dorms, my room mate went to sleep early and my monitor was basically the only light, and the lil ones liked buzzing around it and the lamp near it. Lots of them.

 

[DANEgerous]

I hate them, but only because they are fucking annoying and fly in front of my monitor or wake me up with their annoying "look i am a moth i crash into shit!" ways

 

[DustyDrB]

Moths? That seems like one of most harmless pests you can have.
I remember when I was in between moving from an apartment to a house. I crashed at a friend's apartment for about a month and a half. He was disgusting. The apartment was was disgusting. I'd go to make coffee in the morning and a dozen roaches would just scatter from under it.

And there were ants too. A line of them would occasionally marching through the kitchen.

And then there are spiders. I've spotted a few Brown Recluses. I reeeeaallly don't want to ever get bitten by one of those. I could never be an Australian...

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

They aren't as bad as spiders. Seriously, almost sprayed an entire bug killing spray thingo trying to kill one and you know what, it still didn't die! I called it zombie spider.

 

[Zaik]

How do you fear something so weak?

It'd be like a phobia of tumbleweeds or grass.

 

[White Lightning]

Behold! The QUEEN OF THE MOTHS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r9Laslf4hc&feature=related

Just when you thought Moths coudn't get any worse...

 

[renegade7]

I like watching my cats chase them, that's always funny

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

They have literally made our room their home. We can't get rid of them. We are infested.

I hate moths with a passion like no other.

 

[Death Carr]

This reminds me of something that happened at school the other day.
One of the ladies in our SSC is terrified of moths, and one got trapped in her car and she walked home from the pub because of it. So the next day, one of the IT teachers went to her computer, switched the wallpaper to one of an army of moths and placed various word files and stuff over it so she couldn'tt see it. Long story short, I was signing in and just as I was about to leave the SSC I heard a massive scream. She'd just seen the wallpaper. It was hilarious.

 

[lRookiel]

I refuse to answer the Poll, I won't be glorifying you Hazy!

OT: I'm not bothered about moths, they are harmless enough.

My sister on the other hand, her main phobia is of Moths, it's fucking hilarous!

 

[Benni88]

As a Biology graduate I was astounded and appalled at the slight majority in favour of hating moths. What's wrong with you pansies?! They're invaluable night-time pollinators and frankly look pretty fucking cool.

Man up and show some love for your local arthropods.

 

[The Night Angel]

I seem to have a few hanging around these days too. I don't really mind them, except when they fly in front of the tv screen when I'm gaming. Then they are annoying little bastards

 

[Vampire cat]

Mosquitos are worse Oo. Moth's are mostly annoying (or lay eggs in your clothes if your unlucky, which is then eaten by their offspring...) but mosquitos nibble at me in the night turning my skin into a bumpy red and astonishingly itchy hide of misery.

I once sat in my room doing what I do, and spotted a couple of them high on the wall. I looked up to see what it was and noticed more the closer I got to the ceiling. And oh joy, if the entire ceiling wasn't COVERED with the bastards, HUNDREDS OF THEM, just waiting for me to go to bed so they could have their fill!

That was the last time I slept in that room before I moved out from my dads X3.

Here I even found a drawing illustrating perfectly the evil of mosquitos. Every line is drawn by dead ones! And arguably mosquitos ARE worse then Hitler, they sure killed more than he did Oo.

 

[Hazy992]

hate those fuckers...

I had an insane fear of them as a child...almost as abd as spiders

I still do. If there's a spider or a moth in my room I just freak the hell out.

If you freak out if there is one or the other in your room, what do you do if BOTH are in your room...lurking...waiting for you...like they are right now...

Why, I scream like a little sissy and stand on a chair of course!

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I love how me changing me avatar has derailed this thread.

[HEADING=3]See this Daystar? You're not the only one who can derail threads accidentally![/HEADING]

Heh, yeah. It's taken me some time to get use to (it still feels weird in a way).

What was it again, my mind is in a state of confusion.

Who are you?

Forgotten already?

It was this . . .

Hey! I remember you! That makes me unreasonably excited! Possibly I need to take a day off soon!

No problems with moths in Belfast. Then again if the window's open the light's off, and if the light's on the window's closed, so there's nothing to attract them.

There's not really much more for me to add to this thread. That makes me sad.
