A Quirky Phenomenon

Staying at the second story yields an interesting list of uninvited guests, namely insects and animals. Most of these would include ants, irritating mozziquitoes, moths, cursed-and-destined-to-be-exterminated-for-entering-restriced-zone roaches and various birds.

However, there is one particular guest species that causes me (or 'one') to wonder about the purpose of their visit. And that is none other than the fruit fly. While fruit flies at homes are pretty much a common thing, the fruit flies at my place are quirky.

You see, the fruit flies at my place are usually found in the toilet. If fruit flies were swarming around the fragrant bananas and mangoes at my dining area, that would totally make sense. However, they insist on slowly buzzing around in my toilet (which causes a mozziquito-killer to mistake it for a doomed mozziquito at certain moments in time). And that is especially so when you are engaged in a major trading of engineered raw and processed materials during which you cannot leave your post. This naturally results in a few theories:

1) Mankind has so successfully created esters (i.e. smells) for shampoo such that they mistake it for fruit.

2) For some strange reason, the fruit fly is badly dehydrated at my place and are scouting for exposed ground water.

3) Someone at home has been eating tonnes of fruits and the result of major trading of engineered raw and processed materials results in the fruit fly homing in to the smell.

4) The fruit flies are perverted peeping toms, janes and whoever-nots.

5) The fruit flies at my place are just plain quirky.
