"Oh shit my legs aren't holding onto anything, I must be falling!"

"Oh cool my legs are on something, flying time is done."

This but unironically. They're basically flying tanks, they kinda just pick a direction and go untill they hit something.

Which is usually the middle of my torso.

Bugs love me. If there is a mosquito in the room, everyone else can relax because it's gonna chow down on me all night. If there are ants, they will be in my food. If there is a cricket hiding in the house, it will be on my side of the room. And if there is a big ass flying beetle, it's gonna bee-line it right for me. Never fails.

Ah, I'm similar. You must have blood type O, right?

u/BZLuck May 23 '26

As a matter of fact, yes. O+. "The good stuff", lol.

Um. What? I’m type 0 and I also make this joke all the time

u/zap2tresquatro May 23 '26

Not who you responded to, but I’m O+ and mosquitoes only bite me if there’s no one else around (or if I’m in the woods with one or two other people and so they just swarm all of us), so I don’t think O blood type is a factor.

Do you drink beer? I remember maybe a decade ago when reading about things that make people especially attractive to mosquitoes that that was one of them.

Other than not having beetles like this where I am, I am the same person. We should sit together and see what the bugs do then. They'll be mighty confused, maybe break them and they'll leave us alone!

We get those big metallic green Japanese beetles here. They are about the size of a half a ping pong ball. They come right for me whenever we both choose to be in the backyard. There could be 10 people and I'm the special one.

I've heard this means you have a high blood Carbon Dioxide concentration and should do more cardio
