they just slam themselves into doors and windows

And your face... they're rather derpy and annoying. I swat 'em with my phone. My dog will eat them out of the air when able, and I'm ok with it

Yeah, I’ve had them fly into my mouth too, most memorably in mid air after jumping off a diving board. So I had to endure the damn thing in my mouth, under water, until I could come up for air/spitting it out.

Still way less annoying than horse and deer flies. Those fuckers really hurt.
