OUCH! Stop biting me!

You just have to stick me, doncha? You just have to poke that nasty ol’ protruding sucktube into my delicate skin, doncha? You just HAVE to bite me through my jeans and suck out my precious life-force, doncha!? Suckers! Bloodsucking mother-suckers! I hate you and all your hundreds of babies, who will grow up and suck out my blood, too! I buy things to spray you, to kill you but you always fly away. You always come back. I hear your teeny, tiny little high-pitched buzzing whine, even when I pull the covers over my head! HOW DO YOU GET UNDER THE COVERS WITH ME, YOU STUPID, GODFORSAKEN PEST?? I wish a thousand fiery deaths to you and all your kin. I hope you accidentally drink lighter fluid and keel over dead, dead, DEAD!! Leave me alone, you bloodsucking monster! Not my fault my blood’s so tasty…

SanguineSpider being harassed by mosquitoes?
This is like “Dog bites man, not news; man bites dog, front page news”, isn´t it?

I´ve found the solution for your problem, SanguineSpider, but you won´t like it; just bear it, if you don´t pay attention to the little suckers (heh!) you´ll find they´re not quite as insufferable as they seem, and as long as you don´t scratch the bites that shouldn´t bother much neither.

You big lumbering monster - swat me if you can! To me, you are just a sack of that tasty, tasty sweet salty stuff I crave. Nothing will keep me out. I want it, I’m gonna have about a million babies in that coke can you forgot about in the backyard - that is now half full of tepid scummy water, a nursery for me.

I laugh at your poisons, your repellants. That shit kills everything except me. I’ll whine in your ear at night - like this - weeeeeeooooooooowwwww - which will suddenly stop, and you will know I’ve landed - somewhere on you. I know this will cause you to flail away in the dark, to try to crush me or shake me off at least. You’ll just wear youself out, and some time after 4 in the morning, I’ll drink my fill. Maybe from the tip of your nose, just to be a bastard.

You don’t live the Southern United States. :slight_smile:

Mosquitos are evil…evil I say.

What’s really sad is that there have been nights where I’ll hear one of those bastards in my room and I’ll stay up half the night trying to find and kill it. I cannot sleep knowing It.

Is.

In.

My.

Room…

Fucking bloodsuckers!! And I swear… IF I get reincarnated as a mosquito… mutter swear cuss mutter
I have three bumps so far that burn with the fire that is… Mosquito Bite. They were successful, damn it all. My skin is all itchy knowing there are thousands more out there waiting…
just waiting.

You should know that (a) male and only male mosquitos make the whining sound to attract mates, and (b) female mosquitos and only female mosquitos suck your blood in preparation for laying eggs. Female mosquitos are noiseless. It makes sense from a Darwinian perspective… why would a female about to lay eggs call attention to herself?

This means that whining mosquitos don’t bite. If you hear whining, everything is fine, go back to sleep.

However, if you hear nothing…

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that a person named *Spider * is complaining about being bitten by mosquitoes? Isn’t that kind of like a shark complaining about being harrassed by a barracuda? :wink:

I know from much personal experience that (a) is not true.

The little fuckers both whine and bite.

Mosquito? You’re bothered by a weenie little mosquito? HA!

In my day, we had greenhead flies the size of robins. They’d swoop down on you in clouds that blocked the sun, rip your jeans and t-shirt off your quivering body, and leave a shriveled exsanguinated husk behind.

Kids! Think they have it tough.

Ummm… if they’re whining to attract mates, it means a mate is probably going to be attracted, right? Which means everything IS NOT okay, the little fuckers are after your sweet blood…

Right, so a spider is complaining about being bitten. Nevermind what’s doing the biting, a SPIDER is complaining about being bitten.

Karma is a fucking bitch:D

Yeah, I know only females bite but I now picture this scenario:
Male: whine- in an upper-class English accent**You look lovely tonight, darling. What long legs you have.

Female: silence but she smiles fetchingly and winks, alighting next to him on top of my covers

M: whine I’ve found a new place for your dining pleasure tonight, my sweet. Just beneath us lies a fabulous feast… oh, you must be famished from your flight, my dear.

F: nods endearingly

M: whine * Go on and partake, my love. I shall stay by your side and protect you whilst you dine, never fear.*

F: beams lovingly and prepares to sip, sucktube easily yet, daintily poking through my THICK blanket and into my flesh
Yup, it’s too late. I’ve been pierced. I will scratch on the morrow.

At least they left something behind. I remember a group of them flying of with my gym teacher once. Us kids were sensibly cowering under the bleachers, our elbows locked together.

Mosquitoes don’t particularly like me, I’m fine with that. (They prefer my dad or one of my sisters. :D) The whine drives me nuts though. I was in bed one night, and heard one in the bathroom through the wall. And I have chronic tinnitus, which means I hear a constant high-pitched whine as a matter of course. This thing was drowning it out from another room. I had to get up, find it in the bathroom and squish it before I could get to sleep.

I’m still not used to show sig being automatically on. I apologize for any inconvenience and return you to your regularly scheduled mosquito…er, thread.

Yeah, yeah, yeah to all that “spider” nonsense. If I was a “real” spider (heh), human-sized and intelligent enough to type on a computer, you’d all be in serious trouble! I wouldn’t be wasting my time with the itty-bitty mosquito buzzing in the bathroom, nosiree! Sounds like a B grade, creature-feature to me, huh? We had the giant ants so bring on the giant SanguineSpider! Rawr…

I’m just wondering, but are you currently in the state listed in your profile? In this state, I don’t think I’ve been bitten three times in the past decade by the bloodsuckers. Are you near a large body of water?

Out of context, this is one of the funniest things I’ve read.

A chlorinated pool… in my backyard. It’s not swampy, gross, or stagnant. Other than the pool, there isn’t any water sitting out. At a friend’s house recently, I saw three mosquitoes and she has no pool or any sort of water sitting out. BUT during the summer… at various local parks, various fields are being irrigated. The one by my house isn’t currently swampy, though. I can’t account for the neighbors’ backyards. I don’t peek over the fence to see if anyone has stagnant water but maybe I should.

Me peeking over the fence : Hey neighbor! Ummm, honestly, I’m not trying to invade your privacy but… uh, I have to see if you’ve got some skanky water sitting around anywhere because… uh… ahem, I’m getting attacked by mosquitoes… oh, you don’t? Ok… thanks, heh. Bye now! * a wave and then I’m off that side of the fence… repeat same conversation and awkward fidegting two more times* (I don’t know my neighbors very well).

That is odd that a simple pool would attract mosquitoes. I remember going out to the city pool as a kid and don’t remember mosquitoes. Even with irrigation, I haven’t been bitten in a really long time.

Have you contacted city officials or someone who might know about this? Seems really odd to me that you’d be bitten three times out here, although maybe there’s more mosquitoes here than I thought?
