So if you never put it down, flies leave you alone?

Nah, they just specifically land on your face only.

[–] Dave 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't be a coward, swat them anyway!

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I never said I didn't swat them, I intentionally wait for them to land on my face to swat them.

Keep it in your hand all the time!

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Because the fly saw you actively moving around and is now going into hiding mode

I bought one of those salt guns before summer and it’s very satisfying to blast them
