THESE ******s
There's a bloody infestation in the UK. I hate them. I hate them SO ******* MUCH. Just now, i was fighting one off kung-fu styly, with rolled-up PCGamer in hand, and I baseball-batted across the room mid-flight, then, with a glorious HADOKEN (completely inapropriately)... WHAM, got the *******.  That felt so good, as it had just made me step onto a folder and break it -_-
Today hasn't been to bad as i've closed the windows.
Though i regularly get 6-10 in my room in 1 night.
Anybody else having probs with these mother*******?

Hahaha....
I was trying to go asleep one night... next thing i notice the light from my lava lamp is flickering. I look up... OMFG! GIANT FLYING SPIDER THING.
I jump out of my bed grab a random piece of paper and smash the bugger to pieces... all over my bed. It bloody scared the crap out of me.
Anyway im in Ireland and i've seen slightly more than usual.
Fun fact, Aren't they the most poisonous animals in the world, but their teeth are too small to bite? (don't quote me on it)

'k i won't quote you on it but no they aren't 
as far as i can tell, that myth relates to te US version of the 'daddy long legs', which is one of those small spiders with teh looong legs that live in the corner of your house. And THOSE are EASY to kill. And they're hardly poisionous. You'd probably have to drink a jug of poison for it to kill you

Yeah we've had several of them in our house the last few days. Got rid of a couple last night (took them outside) only for a third one to pop up and try and fly into my beard :S

I don't mind these. Someone I know absolutely hates them though, referring to them as "flying spiders". I do hate spiders a lot so we have a mutual arrangement to get rid of the other's bOte noir.
Phobias are a curious thing.

I believe a SHO-RYU-KEN dragon punch is the best method of ensuring his m8s all know to stay well away from your room. Additionally it doesn't tend to set fire to the furniture.

I've been in a life and death struggle with them all day, so far notched up 9 kills by lighting the spray on a deoderant can and vapourising them mid air.
(Don't try this at home kids as the can, can explode).

Invasion, pffft .... the numbers you see today used to be normal, if not on the low side, back in the 80s. We've just not seen any for a few years.

They are a complete waste of time (spiders like to eat them though) hooray for spiders that kill teh daddy long legs.(But boo for spiders that run across the floor very fast while you are watching tv and see them from the corner of your eye)
PS. i dont have a problem with spiders but their hairy legs remind me of an unwaxed bikini line i once encountered.

Not a UK'er, but on a related note, was chilling last night until I hear a huzz up on my light - I look up to find this bigass moth about three keys (on the keyboard) long.
Needless to say, I beat the living crap out of it then give it a watery burial, gtfo out of my apartment you 6-legged bastard!

Those are called "Crane Flies" here in the US, but are sometimes called Daddy Longlegs in the UK. The US version of Daddy Longlegs refers to the Harvestman which is not a spider, and does not, in fact, have any venom. It is a close relative to spiders though. The spider that is reffered to as the Daddy Longlegs (both here in the US and in the UK), is actually an entire family of spiders, the family Pholcidae. That these spiders are the most venomous in the world, is just a myth.

The side of my PC case is open, with about three fans pushing air around the place. Suffice to say, 2750 RPM vacuum with razor-sharp blades deals with most of those damn things before I have to.
Actually, the best one I saw went through all three fans as it got circulated in the case airflow. One of its legs is still knocking about the rear case fan.

It wouldn't be so bad if they knew how to fly. It's like the only insect to have not passed its flying test, but got the licence anyway. Don't ask how.
And to add to the merry collection of killing methods so far submitted; I can point at one on the floor and my jack russel will eat it.

At the moment I'm living in a warzone. There's daddy longlegs legs on my walls, stain marks on the ceiling and crushed ones on the floors. Opening a window or door after 6pm here is like opening a door to an elephant stampede. Went outside to take some washing off the line and got swarmed with 15 of the ******* that were hovering outside the door. ****.

I just posted pretty much the same thing on my corp forum, these things have been annoying me all week.
They're a pathetic creature and need to be driven to extinction, the only use they have that I can fathom is that they remind us all it's already september..

It's the same here, loads of them.
But I wonder why they like light so much... it does nothing for them. They tend to fly into my desk lamp, and then get pwned because said lamp is really hot. Darwin Award?

Jeez, the scariest bug I've seen where I live was this excessively large moth, I mean a little bigger then palm size across. We used to have a big problem with mosquitos, but I haven't encountered then for a few years .

My cat gets pretty frightening when any kind of insect is in the house. It literally bounces constantly around the room until it's caught it and then sadistically lets it almost escape while picking it to peices. Moths are his favorite.

Daddy long legs TRY to fly. What they actually do is bounce along the floor until they reach a window. They'll bump against it for a good few hours.

MY GOD, the horror...
I have way too many stories...anyway
So im bored one night, high as hell and decide to go see my x at work, now this is 9-10pm at night and she works in the local University..anyway, i get there jump out my car and slowly make my way to the back entrance..the light spills onto the pathway and as i turn the corner i see shadows...little erratic, almost drunk shadows, i see the door and make a dash for it as around 20 to 30 Crans flies all leave the wall to make there attempt to get it..i survive..just
So i get inside the hallway leading to the main kitchen and the small office, but AGAIN to my absolute HORROR the hallway is covered with them! and they launch attacks as i barrel down the hall into the open space of the kitchen area, i grab the first weapon i see, a towel, i roll it in the fashion of a schoolboyy about to whip someone and go to work... BAMM to my left, WHACK to my right, they fly at me but i PREVAIL! they fall to the floor wings broken, bodies beaten...I won the first battle, but as we leave i see there reinforcements in the main hall and conference centre, literally HUNDREDS of them..so it crosses my mind that the war is about to begin, but then i think **** it i dont work here, this someone elses problem..
So i return home, triumphant in victory over the dastardly crane flies..but as i approach my house, i realise my light in my room is on, the window is slightly ajar...i think S*i*...i walk upstairs, and as i get to the top of the landing i take a cursory glance into the bathroom and see that window open WITH THE LIGHT ON! as i spin round i also notice my door has been left open by some evil, sadistic person..i step through my door and WHAM a i can see is crane flies, IN MY ROOM around my light, on my blind EVERYWHERE and more dropping through the window, THEY HAVE FOUND MY BASE!
TO WAR!
I grab my latest supplement to my issue of the economist and go to town, standiing on my bed, cran flies swarning around me attempting to force me cloesr to the ground where there plan to avenge there compatriots death can come into fruition, BUT NEVAR!
Originally by: Winston Churchill
whatever the cost may be, we shall fight in the bedroom, we shall fight on the landing , we shall fight in the bathroom and in the hall, we shall fight in the Kitchen; we shall never surrender
I fought tooth and nail as reinforcements poured in, finally i managed to shut the window and clear the room, but the clean up crew afterwards had a job on its hand.
and dont get me started about the giant moth that attacked me....

My house is full of the swines, They seem to congregate in my bathroom which has at least 10 in at any one time. My favourite way to dispose of them is to either hoover them up or run a sink full of boiling hot water and drop them in it. No idea why there's so many though, don't normally get this many though...
Edit: Damn alt..
THEY LIVE UNDER YOUR LAWN! ITS THE HUMIDITY! RUN MAN, BURN THERE BODIES OR THERE FRIENDS WILL HUNT YOU!
