    In addition to all others mentioned so far I’m going to add horse flies. They are stupid but very persistent and don’t just want your blood, they want to carve off a piece of you and fly away with it.

    Little black flies. Mosquitos can be swatted, or kept away with bug repellent. Those little black flies are too small and quick to swat effectively and ignore bug spray unless you’re soaked in it. They also leave much bigger/itchier welts and tend to bite around the eyes and mouth. Truly they are Satan’s insect.

    There’s a song about them https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f389hIxZAOc

    The only thing worse than mosquitoes is a tiny drone with a syringe needle attached. Because if that ever came to be then even DEET wouldn’t save us.

    A very specific sort of driver: Ones who will sit at 60 in a 70, then stay at 60 when it drops to 50, then drop to 50 when it’s a 40. I don’t even care that much that you’re speeding, or slowing traffic, but just pick one

    I have an irrational hatred of mayonnaise and I know it’s crazy but I just HATE the stuff. There’s nothing about it that I like, I hate the smell, taste and how it looks.

    I’ve always hated it ever since I was a child and the hate never went away.

    I’ve only ever met one other person who hates mayonnaise as much as I do, everyone else tells me I’m crazy.

    Honestly I would rather get stung by a mosquito than be forced to eat a teaspoon of mayonnaise.

    Sorry for the rant :) .
