Up here in BC, Canada, this troper has Goddamned Birds. Robins, sparrows, herons, crows, eagles, almost every kind of bird you could imagine. And they all seem to have reached a consensus that in the summer, they should all start calling at once at around 4 in the morning almost every day. If you don't close your window, you are guaranteed to wake up. If you do and your windows are thick enough, you can sleep through it, but you'll be overheated instead, because of how bloody hot it is in the mornings.
#56056
This troper is an Indian living in Australia. After visiting his family a few times in 'winter', he can safely say that we've got it good here.
#56057
Mosquito bites aren't this Troper's problem. What this troper really gets is the constant buzzing.. the neverending always so close buzzing to your ears.. keeping you awake.. and awake.. never letting you sleep.. always awake.. and so loud.. and you can't slap them away.. no.. they. are. still. there! *sob*
#56058
Ugh,
I can attest to ''that'' as well. It's just... >.> [-
bzzzzzzzzzzzzz-] [+GO THE
FUCK AWAY YOU STUPID THING.+] That's the only way to describe it.
#56059
This troper's kitchen and bathroom had, for a few months, Goddamned Cockroaches. As many as 4-7 would appear on the kitchen floor late at night, and sometimes there would be one in the bathroom that would surprise the ever-loving fuck out of him. Only after liberal application of cockroach spray did they finally go away.
#56060
Here in Belize, we have what is locally known as "doctor flies". They're pretty much yellow horseflies that can land on you so subtly that odds are you wont feel them. Then they'll bite you, and if your lucky, you'll feel it. Otherwise, the sudden jolt of pain wont hit until about 3 seconds afterwords, giving him 3 more seconds of potential biting time. They fly away before you can smack them. They
will land on you again. They are incredibly common here.
#56061
This troper's parents tell a story of Goddamned Cockroaches from their first apartment in Key West, Florida. They were so bad that the parents went out, bought as many Bug Bombs as they could find, and basically fumigated the place for a couple days. Later, as his father was ''sweeping out piles of dead cockroaches'', the landlord walks by, horrified at the condition his apartments seem to be in.
#56062
This troper's apartment building also had an epidemic of Goddamned Cockroaches about 15 years ago. The entire building(a former hospital)had to be fumigated, which meant all tenants had to vacate the premises between 9 am and 5 pm on that particular day. And what did we return to? Goddamned Dead Cockroaches, of course. This troper nearly puked several times during the cleanup operation.
#56063
This troper also had this. Only with ants. They would especially come crawling in at the beginning of summer and during the middle of winter. Eventually, they found their way into the sugar bowl. Our basement is also infested with spiders and (much to her dismay) silverfish.
#56064
This troper's house has Goddamned Ants also. They're the weeee evil little kind that you cannot keep out without vacuum-sealing. So far they've infested (and been vigorously sprayed into departing from) her closet, her kitchen and living room, and her brother's (gungy) bathroom. EWWWW~
#56065
Goddamned Ants in my shower. Ever time i want to bathe, I have to check the area for the buggers to eradicate, even more fun, most of them are winged, indicating that they want to start a colony in my bathroom
#56066
At this troper's cottage, it's Goddamned Groundhogs. At home, Goddamned Stray Cats. At his aunt's, it's Goddamned Crows.
#56067
FUCKING FLIES GET OUT OF MY HOUSE I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY HAND. I have a vendetta against them.
#56069
Can
I invite you two to our kitchen?
#56071
Reiko-chan wants to come too! Seriously, my house can become ''infested'' with the bloody things at times. Swear to God... annoying as hell. KillEmAll is what I say.
#56072
This troper has dealt with ants, flies, fleas, and some tiny bugs that fly around his head whenever he goes outside and has an affinity for his orifices. None of said bugs would ever JUST DIIIEEE! Or at least go away.
#56073
Try dealing with Goddamn WASPS.
#56074
Wouldn't those be more DemonicSpiders? They can actually hurt you.
#56075
Visit Jamaica, especially in the country, you'll have every Goddamned Pest you can think of. Goddamned Roaches, Goddamned Spiders, Goddamned Ants, Goddamned Moths, Goddamned Mosquitoes, Goddamned Geckos, Goddamned Flies...
God damn it.
#56076
Hmm, everything else sounds bad, but geckos are pretty cool.
#56077
Geckos in Jamaica bite.
#56078
I wasn't aware geckos had teeth, but OK.
#56079
That's Jamaica for you.
#56080
This troper almost had his head taken off by literal goddamned bats.
#56081
This troper's garage is absolutely filled with Goddamned Cockroaches.
#56082
This troper also has a problem with goddamned cockroaches and spraying bug spray everywhere doesn't help.
#56083
Similarly to an above story, this troper's parents had their first apartment in Queens. After they started finding eggs, her father, as a precaution, bought a can of Raid and just sprayed around the corners of the house. He hit right under the dishwasher and all a sudden a thousand or more roaches ran out. They ran out of spray, resorted to hitting them with a broom, and then were ''chased'' out of the apartment. They had to move after that. This troper's mother swears to this day that after she ran out, she turned around and saw a roach on the top of the door, looking right at her and ''laughing''.
#56084
Goddamned fleas. Also goddamned fruitflies, but they weren't trying to eat me at least. Easier to get rid of, too.
#56085
Dear god, the goddamed fleas. This troper has a dog and a cat and treats them with flea repelent and medicine every month, cleans her house top to bottom with incesticides and bug bombs, and they STILL come back! They're SO gross to! Paracites...'''BLECH...'''
#56086
This Troper remembers traveling to a nearby Native American Reservation and noticed that it had a very obvious Goddamned Dog problem, with their being around thirty stray dogs running around every block there (and most of said dogs looked part wolf or just plain big). This Troper even remembers seeing five year olds there shooting at the dogs in around for them to get away. Luckily, this Troper does not have to live on said dog invested Native American Reservation.
#56088
This troper. I swear, all goddamn insects must be out to get her. Ants in the computer, and bed bugs in her parents room. GODDAMN CREATURES!!!
#56089
For six months out of the year this troper deals with Goddamned Gnats. It gets to be a problem especially when they
fly down my fucking throat.
#56090
DIE GODDAMNNED MOTHS, YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD! I once found a goddamned moth in ''the shower''.
#56091
In Ceramics class I found a few in the recycled clay bucket. Yechgh.
#56092
Goddamned Bedbugs! This troper found out his bedroom was infested with the damn things, it seemed like no piece of furniture was free of bedbugs hiding within every nook and cranny, and then they started to spread and nowhere in the house was safe! Even after we've had an exterminator come in, a few survivors still pop up every now and then. ARRRRRRGH.
#56093
Kind of minor compared to most examples above, but: Goddamned spiderwebs. The spiders ''themselves'' are okay, as they are outside where they belong, it's just that they choose pretty inconvenient places to make their webs, and are really damn persistent about it. For instance, if you go into our tool shed without taking a look at the doorway first, you're liable to get a face full of spiderweb, and no matter how many times it gets destroyed either accidentally or on purpose, it'll be back in the same place for you to walk into again.
#56094
Similarly,
This Troper used to have a problem: her family keeps chickens, but whenever she went outside to chase the rooster so he was so scared he would shut up, she would get a face full of spider web because some damn spider had decided to make its web with part of it attached to a tree she would end up chasing the rooster around. After a while, it seems the spider gave up and decided to make its home elsewhere. Thankfully.
#56095
This troper is terrified of slugs and snails, and wouldn't you know what just loves to live on his porch and outside doorjams? Goddamned Snails!
#56096
This troper's football field seems to have a problem with GODDAMN BEES.
#56097
Oh my CHRIST, my friend's apartment was full of GODDAMN FLIES. Especially after he stopped doing his dishes because his girlfriend left him. Worst night ever.
#56098
This troper once had a few silverfish catch a ride in with some mail. Over a year later, I still kill at least two a day.
#56099
This troper's mother would tell stories of how, before this troper was born, the house was infested with literal Goddamned Bats. These days this troper's high school is swarming with Goddamned Yellowjackets (ironic, considering that's the school mascot).
#56100
This troper, now, "GOOD GOD, ANTS!!!" This troper, childhood years, "Yum, ants-- Ah, one of 'em bit my tongue!"
#56101
When YonTroper went camping, the campground was infested with Goddamn Bees. Apparently, they're attracted to the salt in the sweat on our clothing.
#56102
In the Southeastern United States, during summer, anywhere with woods will have all kinds of Goddamn critters, including
Chiggers. The first sign you have that you've been attacked is that you start to ''itch''... and by then it's already far too late.
Geocachers run into all of the above, including Goddamn mosquitoes, the kind that think
DEET is a spice.
#56103
Same troper here: while looking for a geocache during recent cooler weather, I walked through a entire field of Goddamn Brambles - some kind of thorny plant that zealously grabs hold of clothing and often snaps thorns off in said clothing as the trapped person pulls away. Not to mention all the Goddamn
Ant Piles in that field...
#56104
This troper suffers from those goddamn ladybugs every autumn. They use his balcony as gathering ground and move into the aparment despite closed doors and windows.
#56105
This troper once set a huge piece of gum on my nightstand right before he went to sleep. When I woke up, it looked like an entire colony of ants was stuck in my Orbit. Apparently, they had all gotten stuck trying to take it back to their colony.
#56106
For me it's goddamned bees. All summer I have to swat the buzzing bastards away from me. I also have anothe creature who is refered to as "The Amazing Motherfucking Stinkbugs", that can survive freezing cold, burning hot, and lack of food and water for a long time (one survived in the window through a really cold winter with no food or water).
#56107
Goddamn neighbourhood children. A lot of people with young children have been moving into this troper's area lately. Really really annoying children. They swarm all over this troper whenever she leaves the house, and she can't slap them because it's "cruel" or some crap like that.
#56108
{{Miso}} has Goddamned Ants. And flies. And bees. And crickets. And the occasional spider. It was a bizarre situation in 2009 when she had Goddamned Ants from the usual April to June period, then they ''came back'' during a rainy October and stayed all through November and December; she's lucky she only has to deal with the flies in the summer because the little bastards annoy her to no end. And people wonder why she likes to stay inside.
#56109
Goddamn mosquitoes...I have allied myself with spiders, because they eat mosquitoes for me.
#56110
On and off, for the past year, this troper has had Goddamned Lice. Squick.
#56111
This troper used to live in the Mojave Desert in Southern California, and our GoddamnedBats used to border on DemonicSpiders territory(literally - Black widows and brown recluses were never uncommon), along with Goddamned Scorpions, Goddamned Ants, Goddamned Lizards, GoddamnedBats, and occasionally Goddamned Coyotes.
#56112
This troper has always hated Goddamned Cockroaches, but his sister is even worse. One was crawling on her arm once and she screamed so loud her neighbors thought her boyfriend was beating her and called the police.
#56113
This troper is surprised that Iraq hasn't made this list yet. The flies. THE FLIES. They are 3x as big as anything in the USA, nigh invulnerable, and go straight for the eyes. To this troper, the flies are AlwaysChaoticEvil.
#56114
The only reliable method of death to the flies seems to be cutting them in half, with scissors. Midair or not. The trick is to anticipate their take-off.
#56115
June bugs.
Fucking ''June bugs''. For those who don't know, from June to August, the Dallas area in Texas gets swarms of these annoying dark brown beetles, about the size of the upper part of one's thumb. They are ultimately harmless, as they don't bite, but they have a nasty habit of ''dive bombing'' people. And they sound a LOT like wasps when they start running into things, so you tend to get freaked out to begin with, as wasps ARE somewhat dangerous.
#56116
Goddamned Asian Lady Beetles. This troper wouldn't mind them so much if they weren't trying to get inside the goddamn house and on him. There was one summer (before I moved into this apartment) where there was just a goddamn swarm of the little bastards. We had to use a shop-vac to get rid of them all and to sweep up the bodies of dead beetles on the porch, because they were ''everywhere''.
#56117
Goddamn ants, we put up those things that give delayed-action poisoned food to the ants so they can share it with the colony and kill the whole lot, and all we're doing with those things is feeding the pests! Goddamn Boxelder (is that how you spell it?) bugs too; they swarm the outside of the house from spring to fall, and some camp out inside so they can last the winter.
#56118
Wanna know what're the most annoying animals in the world? GODDAMN HUMANS!
#56119
The UK does not get mosquitoes...So its GODDAMNED MIDGES AND WASPS.
#56120
This Troper has apparently suffered a plague of Goddamn Pigeons over the entire summer, when I was conveniently away and unable to defend my balcony... I came home to find a few cubic decimetres of crap, feathers and Goddamn
Fucking Fleas! GAH! It was so bad I had to call in reinforcements for cleaning it up, bribed with beer and pizza. I'm buying a gun, illegal or not.
#56121
Bees, wasps, yellow jackets, whatever you call them, GET AWAY FROM ME.
#56122
This troper's got GODDAMN MOSQUITOES everywhere he goes. They flock to me as soon as I go outside, and if they get in the house they always end up by me because my light is usually the only one on. But then I found out that bats eat mosquitoes, so I put a bat box in my backyard. Which was hijacked by
Hornets. My God. So I couldn't go outside because the Goddamn Mosquitoes hunted in my yard and the Goddamn Hornets nested there.
#56123
Two story mansion. 12 foot ceiling minimum. occasional bat flies though house to scare the shit out of everyone.
#56124
This troper did one bordering on DemonicSpiders: In ''MagicTheGathering'', there are two types of Saproling tokens. Your typical Saproling token is 1/1. The second is generated by Saproling Burst. Saproling Burst comes into play with seven fade counters. You remove one per turn. You can also remove one to put a Saproling token into play; this Saproling token has X/X, where X is the number of fade counters left on Saproling Burst. There's also a card called Coat of Arms, which gives all creature +X/+X, where X is the number of creatures with the same creature type in play. You see where this is going.
#56125
Sliver Queen, Heartstone, Basal Sliver... Then throw the Coat of arms down, there's your goddamn bats... or Demonic spiders depending on the added effects.
#56126
This troper's parents always leave the door to the backyard open during the summer, because our dog goes in and out of the house a lot, and we can't put a doggy door in. This results in a lot of large, LOUD flies getting into the house. And they always end up in my room.
#56127
For
This Troper, it's a number of things. At one point there were galahs (a kind of
Australian parrot that's gray with a pink belly and lighter pink crest) that would fight over territory every morning. Very loudly. About an hour before I would actually want to get up. Also, in the summer, flies. Lots and lots of flies. ''Swarms'' of them, gathering just outside every door and window. And some of them ''ALWAYS'' get in. Also, mosquitos. Made even worse by the lack of mozzie nets (they just kinda disappeared). And then there's that rooster that crows any time it hears someone, even if it's someone going to bed at 5 AM because they were browsing TV Tropes all night. We (yes, we, I'm 13 as of the time I'm typing this) ended up naming him "Mr. Noisy". And there's also magpies, which seem to wake up at 5 AM only to decide it's time to wake everything ''ELSE'' up. Oh, yes, and ants. Leave so much as one drop of honey somewhere in summer? Hundreds of little sugar ants will come in to eat it. Same thing goes for if you don't either close the tub of honey REALLY well, or put it in the fridge. And it seems they can find a way in through the plastic wrapper for a lollipop (and presumably any other kind of candy you might have somewhere in the house). I know because I went to have one once, only to find that said sugary treat was being eaten by about 20-40 ants. It was the last one, too... oh, and before I forget about this one: MICE. There was one house we lived in where there was this... ''plague'' of goddamned MICE. It turns out it was because just about everybody in the area aside from us was using a lot of pesticides that had been killing the mice, and the damn mice came to us because we didn't use any. They still died, but not as fast as they would have if they weren't in our house. I swear, we have the worst luck...
#56128
Here in the Bay Area of California, there are seagulls. Many a new car has been soiled by them. Not to mention they always try to eat your sandwich at lunch, especially since most schools aren't enclosed and always have a door to the outside, sometimes even missing an ENTIRE WALL.
#56129
here in Waco, Texas near my house we have the god damned mosquitoes they breed like rabbits on Viagra and swarm all over the neighborhood from as early as April to as late as October.
#56130
Our new house seems especially attractive to spiders of all kinds. You are well advised to check the shower stalls *before* use...my sister once reached for the hot-water knob and screamed loud enough to be heard across the street. Apparently a wolf spider the size of a quarter had decided that was a nice spot to hang out.
#56131
Last summer, this Troper has Goddamned Stinkbugs. They're stubborn, so they don't want to move, they stink like hell if you squish them,and they're EVERYWHERE. This Troper also has insectophobia, thus making her freak out
quite alot.
#56132
This troper has GoddamnedLadybugs.--'Whats that smell?' 'Oh, it's just a dead lady bug, don't worry.' is now common to hear whenever it's summer/autumn. It is also not uncommon to find squashed lady bugs in places such as the inside of the cupboards, the bathroom ceiling, and next to your face when you wake up...
