Electric Fly Swats - The Office Bloodsport

misterPK · 1 Jul 2009 at 12:03

It's one of the downsides of my office being out in the countryside, flies. So we've got one of those electric tennis rackets of death. Is it wrong that I enjoy stalking round the room, hunting the flying pests down and then swating at them like a retarded Andy Murray wannabe hoping to see that spark as they get sent to oblivion?

PK!

As long as you meet up with Jackson to get to the Kumite in time, I don't see a problem with it. Get suck in!

PK!

I have 3 of them, got two for free and one for £5. I must say tricking people into touching them was quite amusing.

But also I have no flies or wasps in my room thanks to these sexy tennis rackets

those rackets are ace

Freudian slip there?

Heh, we got one recently. I've since killed a mammoth moth and a dragon fly both of which flew into my room while I was in the middle of a game, and attacked me.

The moth took 2 hits, and the dragon fly barely 1. Its legs kinda froze mid air and it fell to the floor

We had to get rid of ours as I spent my days sneaking up on unsuspecting family members and friends and attacking them with it!

Killing dragon flys is obviously wrong and neither of them attacked you.

Sick I know, but after zapping a fly I like to leave the body on the wire & hold the power button down until it starts to smoke.

I too have done this many times

I've had ours about six years now :eek:

Great fun, and very handy too!

These look decidedly less fun than the fly swat guns. But zapping must be pretty fun.

<OT but worthy>Ben M, just seen the Ride for Heroes page and the fact you're doing it?... Nothing to add except kudos sir, kudos. I honestly can't afford to donate atm, but if I could I'd be chipping in. Bloody good show.

</OT>

Thanks very much, me and two mates are doing it. My bike's broken at the moment, bad times =( hopefully it's getting fixed soon so that I can get on with training =]

Well hitting a wasp with a forearm smash and then watcheing it spin on the floor in circles with smoke coming off it is not that enjoyable but fun :/

... But a gun one sounds even better !

If they didn't make an annoying buzzing noise I wouldn't care as much, but when gaming they always buzz aroung me

Well mr. moral-high-ground I dont want any insects flying at me in my room whether you deem it "wrong" or not. I hate insects and I especially dont want any in my room while I'm trying to sleep.
