    Should those little ba$tards not all be dead around this time of year??

    I ask because my sitting room is full of them and no, nothings dead. Unless everyone didn't make it home from christmas and I've lost my sense of smell...

    Any stale food left around? My sister had the same problem, tons of tiny flies all over the kitchen, couldn't figure out why until she searched the place thoroughly. Her flatmate had left a small bag of rotten potatoes in a cupboard, hidden away, probably there at least a month.

    Actually, you haven't had a visit from John Coffey, have you? :eek:

    The only place I see flies at this time of year is in Fibber Magee's.

    I can only imagine how bad your gaf must be.

    We had those little f*ckers that constantly hang around the light fitting in the centre of the room in the last place I was in - little bastards. They're f*ckers to get rid of and I always think they're really scummy. My ex was really untidy though and there could have been literally anything lying around.

    Also, what's the story with those big ones you get sometimes, and when you try and kill them they go f*cking mental and frighten the sh*t out of me so that I end up running out of the room. It's like trying to kill them has pissed them off and then they start going haywire doing kamikaze manoeuvres bouncing off walls and ceiling and intimidating me by flying past me and missing my face.ears by a couple of mm. They really freak the f*ck out of me. It's better to just open a door or window with those ones rather than getting in a straight fight with one.:eek:

    Apparently, they've mutated so that they can cope with the cold. Get used to it. Same with spiders.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    They are probably fruit flies. Check your fruit bowl. There should be no other reason for small flies.

    Their eggs, heating on all the time, heat rises, Christmas period ...they love food and drinks lying around.


    It's a fucking mystery, this shit.

    Fruit flies work on rotting fruit. The leave fresh fruit alone. But no harm checking it.

    Also check the drains in your sink. Old food is a breeding ground for them

    You need to wash man

    You need to shrink that sig before I give it a kick.

    You need to take your Sigpo snitching ass away from here before I give you a kick.

    You guys have got a thread for reporting sigs. Use it.



    -_-

    Also, the reason I had a pop at that guy is because of what he said to another user.

    It was a nasty comment and me having a pop at him about his sig pales in comparison.

    And where do you get off threatening someone anyway?

    I get off on many a thing... sometimes the fruit flies love it.

    That's mild 'threatening' if that at all!

    His comment was in jest. Yours was more of an order.
    You have no place to that here.

    Seen people banned on AH for less than threatening to give another user a kick.

    You think the OP took it in jest, implying they didn't wash themselves?

    That's what bugged me, the sig I could care less about -just wanted him to realise it's not that nice for someone to make a comment like that.

    Also, I'm far from a Mod, so why would someone take anything I say as an order.

    All bans are to be taken on a post per post basis.
    No ban for the unwashed comment, and yes it was in jest.... humour escapes so many people.

    If you weren't worried about the sig, no need to mention it. If you didn't like the comment, use the report post button. And to be honest, if it was reported I'd have looked and laughed at it. But you would have aired your concern.

    I've made a note of your sensitive nature and I'll make sure things run smoothly from now on.

    I don't want him banned, just like I don't report Sigs.

    It doesn't escape me, but then I see that you also Mod the Lolo, so our senses of humour are going to be a little different.
