    Nothing worse than a prick of a fly who keeps landing on you every few seconds.

    I used to be an arachnophobe but now I don't mind spiders, unless they're in my bed they don't bother me too much.

    Flies, on the other hand, annoy the **** out of me and I have developed some ninja skills with a rolled up newspaper

    I have at least three spiders in my room right now - building huge webs in the corners to catch he flies. Who needs insecticide, eh? :P

    I absolutely HATE flies - they are so filthy. But I wouldn't kill them. I chase them around the house and direct them to open windows and doors. Slimy, disgusting things. I don't like spiders either but as long as they stay out of my bed, I leave them be.

    You have to have serious mental disturbed issues if ya think flies are preferable over spiders. FFS, spiders protect us by killing germ carrying flies!!

    The Biggest....Focking.... Spiders....I've ever seen live in a shed on a newish estate in Swords.

    That said, I'd kill a fly quicker than a spider.

    Though if it was big enough to need a shotgun, them fookin zombie super spiders are GETTING IT!!!

    Just be sure you don't swallow a fly. It's not going to end well ... :eek:

    I had a cat who used to chase spiders and flies and play with them, then he would eat them..

    Then the cat died..

    Now I have spiders and flies..

    I don't mind spiders..

    Flies can **** off away!

    I hate flies, the worst being bush flies. Little fcukers try fly up your nose, in your mouth, attack your eyes. AARRRGGHHH:mad:

    Spiders I like. Fascinating creatures:)

    Anything with more than 4 legs is unnatural, so therefore I despise flies and spiders equally.

    I'm a spider man.

    Flies are more annoying, tried shoeing one out the kitchen window earlier, he went everywhere else except the open window, eventually he made it out, same story the other night in the bedroom, wouldn't go through the open door. Spiders usually easy to trap and shove out the door and don't make noise or fly around your head

    Team Spider ftw. Fly was a smug, if resourceful, bastard.

    Flies here are alright, but yeah I do squash them like they are hippies.
    No fly zone in my house.

    Mozzies in other countries are a pain in the ass, drinking blood off some dead rat/dog and then biting you and squirting some of their last meal into your blood stream to get a free drink off you.

    I hate them. :mad:

    There's something about spiders that I don't like but flies annoy the fcuk out of me, so big up to the spiders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,203 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Definately spiders, I especially hate those blue flies that are around this time of year.

    They are hard to kill as well.

    I don't mind wasps though, I think they are useful because they kill flies.
