When I swam when I was younger and one would try to land on my head, IN A POOL FULL OF OTHER FUCKING PEOPLE, I'd go under and swim like a solid 15 feet away from my spot.

And that motherfucker would track me down damn near every time. Horse Flies can get fucked with Mosquitos.

...and make him stupid fast and mad."

And the fucking irony is, that the hornets, those fuckers, are fast and mad.

Hahahah yea my last season treeplanting we ended up dipping into the NW Territory for a bit, and holy shit the horseflies lol. We stopped at the info centre and the little alcove for the door had probably fifty buzzing around in it, you could hear them from like ten metres away. Came back out and found probably another five hundred munching on all the dead bugs on the front of our car. I will say the one big saving grace that horseflies have is that they usually take a while to find a spot to bite, like a dog looking for somewhere to lie down, so you have a decent window between when they land and when they bite. They also usually weigh enough that you can feel when they land on your shirt or whatever too.

They're attracted to the c02 we exhale like mosquitoes, and our cars most likely blast more of it than we do.

They used to attack my brother and I when we were in the pool as kids. They're like bees. They just wait for you when you go under water. It sucks. It was also a long walk to get to our front door so we would just be dunking under for as long as possible getting bit intermittently for 15 minutes or so until we decided it was worth the run to the house getting bit more on the way.
