They appear to be blind because they land on your clothes and get stuck in your hair. They bounce off your windshield so I keep my windows rolled up when I'm driving. I am afraid of them so that makes me watch out for myself everywhere I go. I have even seen them in the entrance way at Stop & Shop. Out of the millions of fears that people indure, mine are bugs (and only bugs) so needless to say, I am going to need therapy soon. I'm already having nightmares. The ironic part of this is, I'm getting plenty of exercise from running away from these ugly bugs and won't have to see them for another 17 years.
