Flies. They get in the house the very second you open a door, then seem unable to locate the same door to find their way back out and instead spend an age just bumping up against a closed window. If you then open the window, they fly off somewhere else and seem unable to find the way back to the now open window. They have the whole world to fly around in, most of which is much more interesting than my house!
I found 2 dead bluebottles on the same floor tile in my kitchen this morning. It's a fairly big kitchen too so I thought it was a bit odd. I ended up imagining that they had had a fight to the death and both expired in battle.

Get a fly swatter. They're brilliant.
I do have a fly swatter and a disgusting hanging fly paper but this one was a particularly big buzzing thing that I wasn't prepared to chase around the house. It went out the window eventually.
That's where you're going wrong. You're not meant to chase them. You swat them on the window

Other explanations are available.
Hope they're not cluster flies otherwise you may be seeing some more.
Cluster flies are big and dozy, but obviously not bluebottles. I saw two or three in my house some years ago and then over the following week /ten days others arrived - possibly up to 50/60. I went to war with them with my vacuum cleaner. I called a pest controller who told me that nothing will stop them once they've selected a house. The other thing is they always congregate in the same place within the house. They try to get in at the end of summer btw. I was never able to trace their access point despite shutting doors, sitting and waiting, they seemed to appear out of thin air.
I actually purchased something to kill them off in the end, but never had to use it as my vacuum skills sufficed. I imagine they got word to their mates outside - its not worth it - there's a lunatic indoors on guard 24/7 armed with his hoover.

There’s a very funny clip on Family Guy of a fly trying to get out of a window and then giving up.
Finding out there are people charging for Therapy dog visits!
During a visit a lady alarmed at the amount of time we had spent chatting while her autistic son laid alongside Bailey stroking his head asked how much the visit had cost. Surprised at this because while I often get offers of a donation no one has ever offered to pay. It seems her usual Therapy dog man charges £50 an hour with a minimum of 2 hrs for the first visit + travel. She gave me his number and we had a brief chat, I say brief he hung up on me!
This lady had been saving since Christmas for sons visit only for this guy to let her down twice, I’ve learnt enough about autism to know that could cause what I often hear called a meltdown. We spent a couple hours talking her son, the dogs, the support we get from you guys basically whatever she wanted and told her the money she’d saved to buys themselves something nice and to contact me next time.

People will always try to make money from whatever they can sadly!!
Forgetting after a few peaceful months what a nightmare it is to live near a secondary school during term time.... do ANY kids walk to school any more?
The Purple Bricks ad where the lusting estate agent woman is ‘virtually’ (on a laptop) perving at at a bloke in the bath, whose head and chest you can see, You can tell she’s perving because she moves closer to the camera and gets all excited.
No way would that be allowed if a bloke estate agent was looking at a woman in the bath with only her head and knockers showing. Although it would make for a better advert.

Sexism at its worst.
Almost all “isms” have massive double standards
As long as they are not showing above the water level.

Let run it’s course but remove your payment card details they soon cancel it. I had all our dogs signed up with separate email addresses and got almost a year of free music. 😉

You won't be the first or last. This happened to me some time ago and I'm usually savvy with this type of sign up, but still got caught. Managed to get out of it but had to do some digging. Wouldn't touch them with somebody else's barge pole.
For my sins, I watch Tipping Point every evening, and it amazes me the number of contestants that think it does not matter when you drop the counter in the machine. They drop it at the wrong time, keep getting riders and then moan that the machine do not like them, or they are being unlucky.....no you dope, watch and you will see, it is important to drop the counter at the right time and you will rarely get a rider.

I remember as a kid i loved the arcade...especially the machines with the coin drops. It was 2ps i think back then. Cant believe they made a TV show out of it.
