Question #1: What's more annoying?
MOSQUITOES OR FLIES?
The argument:
On one hand, mosquitoes are truly quite dangerous: They carry diseases, they cause us pain, and they make that really obnoxious, high-pitched sound. In addition, they can't just bite and move on -- they have to set up camp on your arm (leg, knee, forehead...); act as if they're replenishing their stores for a long, hard winter; and persist until you have no other choice but to swat them (and yourself), which leaves an ugly red bump on your skin (or a welt, if you're allergic like me).
On the other hand, flies -- OMG. I don't care if you have a 10,000 square-foot house; the fly must buzz within a one-inch radius of your ear. And I don't know if flies ingest caffeine (or do crack?), but they're jittery and hyper because they can't stay still. Honestly, if they would just perch in the corner and mind their own business...but no, they have to mess with you and mess with you -- buzz and buzz -- all while zipping around your face in some random, drunken stupor until you're borderline homicidal. It's embarrassing, really. To be pushed to the brink of insanity by an itty-bitty bug.
All things considered, I'm going with FLIES!
(But be sure and register your vote or post your own nonsensical question. Who knows? I might just run with it :-)).
And now, it's time to return to my day job: writing Dark Fantasy Fiction & Gothic Romance!
Please tune in next week for another utterly-mindless, nonsensical question!
Until then...
Cheers!

Mosquitoes, what with the diseases and darn itch, they are truly annoying.
ReplyDeleteMosquitoes. We have had so much rain this year. Those blood sucking jerks are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteOk in my humble option the fly takes it hands down, I mean not only does the fly start out as one nasty looking baby larva but let's also take a look at Jeff Goldblum as the Fly "UGH"
ReplyDeleteThat movie was pretty epic...in its day. LOL
DeleteI had never heard of that movie until now. I just googled it. It looks... interesting.
DeleteYou HAVE to see that movie -- that's like never seeing Rocky or The Shining. It's a classic. :-)
DeleteI would have to go with flies. You can always use insect repellant for mosquitoes. not much you can do to get rid of flies except use a fly swatter. And eww! Those fly swatters are so disgusting!!
ReplyDeleteMosquitos! Those nasty, blood sucking, disease carrying little buggers. And let's not forget they make you itch. Flies are gross but, they don't make me itch. Not a fan of itching.
ReplyDeleteMosquitoes are little, itty bitty, vampires. Annoying yes...but still vampires. Hence...I am Team Mosquito and by default, flies are more annoying. And they're idiots too. I mean...really? You can fly INTO a house but you don't have enough sense to go out the way you came in? Nooooo...by all means...keep flying directly into the CLOSED WINDOW!
