Today, I walked into my son's room only to be attacked by a swarm of flies. I'm afraid to go back in there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son tried to swat a fly with a hammer. Our apartment walls are now littered with dents and holes. FML
Today, I woke up to the sight of a dead fly on my bedside table, being eaten by a swarm of ants. I screamed so bad that my dad said he thought my sister was being murdered in my room. FML
Today, I put up one of those hanging fly catchers in my room due to the unsettling amount of flies in the house. I remarked how stupid flies were to land on them. Within an hour, I got up and walked straight into it. FML
Today, a wasp ended up in the house. Normally, I'd just open a door to outside and run for cover, but my 3-year-old son was home, so I decided to be brave and kill it. It flew into the air vents. We're now playing wasp roulette every time we enter a room. FML
Today, my son found a cockroach in his bed. I had to kill the thing and wash all his sheets and stuffed animals before he'd finally agree to go back to bed, three hours later. FML
Today, I walked past my fly strip while a fly who had been caught, but hadn't yet died, was on it. While I was there, I could hear his frantic buzzing and see his little arms flailing like mad as he tried in vain to escape. Great. Now I feel like shit for putting these things up. What kind of a monster am I? FML
Today, I woke up to a huge, disgusting bug next to my bed. As I tried to squish it, it suddenly flew off at high speed. Now I'm lying in bed, awake and terrified because I can hear it buzzing around but can't see it anywhere. FML
Today, I learned that my house's fly infestation is worse than I thought. I now have maggots crawling and dropping from my ceiling. I have to sleep under them. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML
Today, I was stuck in a room with a man who was catching flies. That I could cope with, until he insisted on turning the lights out because it was 'stressing out' his flies. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Clearly he trained them to guard his room, and you must figure out the secret password to get by.

Looks like someone doesn't clean up after themselves.

I assume you have seen your son in the last couple of weeks! Death and teenage sloth: The symptoms are pretty similar, except for (or in some cases including) the flies.

Fun fact: Flies are attracted to dead bodies

Depends on the species. Diptera is a huge order of insects.

And it should be noted that they're attracted to rotting bodies. If your just dead, no flies. In other words, zombies, because the rot, will attract flies. Vampires, because they dont rot, despite being dead, will not attract flies. Although i have been informed that the sparkley ones attract bullets.

This sounds like the beginning of a horror movie.

Ah yes, the teenaged boy. Our son begged to take an extra vac upstairs so he could clean the carpets. Some time later I went upstairs and was attacked by fleas! I went straight to the store and bought the flea powder vac stuff and used it. All I can say is take care of whatever the problem is before it gets worse.

When teens, I used to call my brother Mike the Mycologist for all the mold in his room. How do you grow white fungus in black soda? He had a horrific rainbow.

Hi, OP here! Turns out they were just feasting on month-old food and some questionably crusty socks seemed to be also one of the causes. The wrath of the flies has been battled safely!
