Daddy Long Legs'

anniehoo

Spiders, moths, beetles scare the feck out of me...but a daddy long legs wobbled (cant really say flew) in there a minute ago and im lookin at him whackin himself off every bit of furniture i have! I actually "like" the dangly,long legged, uncoordinated yokes! What a pointless waste of insect life...

Ruu_Old

Ah my old arch nemesis the crane fly has returned I see. :mad: *flashback to childhood being covered in them when leaving the window open at night then getting revenge by pulling the wings off several of the beasts!*

seanybiker

Insect cruelty
Harmless and gormless little feckers.the noise bugs me ( pun intended ) but i just catch them and chuck them out the window.

anniehoo

They're probably the least scariest insects ever. Its ages since ive seen one, i think ill call this one Al and see how he ends up after bashin himself off my sitting room wall for 10 hours :rolleyes:

I heard they're Satan's favourite insects. Fact.

My daddy has long legs as well. He's an excellent 100m hurdler. He won gold in the Olympics and in my heart.

I hate them!

I don't care if there's a spider on my desk, wall or whatever. A fly i can live with, but this amalgamation of the two just really gets to me. I absolutely hate them. They scare the shit out of me, too. Nothing worse than typing away and getting this uncoordinated mess of an insect belting into your face, monitor and keyboard before trying to escape and further hitting into things. Why don't they just do themselves a favor and stay still in the corner like a normal insect.

Sea Sharp

They annoy me when they start all like flying around me touching off me 'nd stuff.
Then it's an epic battle to the death using the nearest shoe I can find.

Along came a Spider out on the lash

When I shower daddy Long legs watch me. It is most disconcerting.

Plus picking up a daddy long legs makes me shudder.

I'm sure this is not down to where i'm from BUT we used to pull their legs off and watch them wiggle on thier own

Its the wiggly fúckers like maggots that freak me out.

Jesus Juice

ironictoaster

That was on myth busters, but what americans call daddy long legs and what we call daddy long legs are different. Their version is a spider where ours is a love child between a spider and a fly who spent his childhood as a tequila maggot

magick

oh just wait till Auguest when all those lovely hobo spiders come into yer houses! :eek:

Yeah but that crap about them being really being the most poisonous but just not being able to use it is a load of crap.

I hate it when somebody says that and actually believes it. Makes me want to slap them on the side of the head.

I'm surprised it took until the second page for this to be written. This is a myth, there is no evidence that they are venomous to humans.

i hate the little bastards. the noise they make drives me mad. death to them all, i say!

liah

Weird. When I hear "daddy long legs" I don't think crane fly, I think of this. Interesting. Must be different over here. What do you call those yokes, then? Just regular spiders...? Do you even get them in Ireland or are they a north american thing?

I didn't know it was an actual myth.
I thought it was from that joke Ricky Gervais told at one of his shows...

Harvestmen, but I think some people call those guys daddy-long-legs too.

Darkbloom

Forget crane flies, the best are those leggy spiders you get in the corner of your ceilings. Amusing to watch them have vicious turf wars with other spiders for supremacy.

do you mean hes walking into the furniture or flying into the furniture? Because one is a Cellar Spider (DLL) and the other is a Crane Fly.

Got me a Venus Fly Trap last week (apparently they only grow in this small region of the world and are my State's Flower) - anytime I see something buggy I try to capture it live and feed the trap. Cant feed it dead stuff (wont digest it) or poisoned stuff (duh). Fed it a house fly yesterday and it was awesome... struggled in the maw for about half an hour before it was wrapped too tightly to move anymore.

I had the same fear before. Used to get the pots and pans out and kill them. Although just woke up one day and said I wasn't going to be afraid anymore and still the same to this very day.:D

Obviously a turn on for him with you watching?

A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden.
He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was.
Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes.
Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground.
He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention.
He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating.
'Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?' she asked.
'They're mating,' her father replied.
'What do you call the spider on top?' she asked.
'That's a Daddy Longlegs,' her father answered.
'So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?' the little girl asked.
As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied, 'No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.'
'The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then lifted her foot and stomped them flat...

'Well, we're not having any of that gay Sh!t in our back garden!!! she said.

I thought a Daddy Long Legs was a spider not the big gangly legged crane fly thing.

I hate the fcuking things (hate all type of creepy crawlies actually). But lucky for me my cats usually torture the little feckers to death.

Lia_lia

I HATE them. Normal spiders I can just about handle...but Daddy long legs' f*cking fly. That's what annoys me about them. And they make a really annoying noise whilst hitting into things.

Dumb

I used to catch them in a jar and put them on the radiator.

Ah jaysus great times altogether now

Lobster

Can you imagine if birds flew like them? They really shouldn't have wings!

Magic.Marker

When we were kids, my cousin used to set them on fire with a lighter. When I was over in his house one day, one of those feckers was in the kitchen, he tried to burn it and he accidently set the kitchen table on fire. My uncle ripped the tablecloth off and threw it out the window before it could do any damage. We were about 8 or 9 at the time so we thought it was fcukin' hilarious. However my aunt & uncle were not amused.

Dumb

Must try that. I'll get a match
