I see you there, lurking on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy, squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you do you return to the center of my eye? Oh, squiggly line, it's all right. You are forgiven. Don't you just hate those little things? ;D  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater |

Right now, I wish I hadn't opened this thread.
Kinda off-topic, but here's something eye related -- Several hours ago I read a story that involved a certain parasite in snails that caused their eyes to grow three times in size, attracting hungry birds to them. Now, in the story, illustrated, imagine that parasite in humans. Now I wonder why that tvtropes entry interested me in the first place.

Yes I do hate them. My question is, are they bad for you? Should I see an eye doctor about them?

They're only bad if they obscure your vision to the point that you really can't see.
My floaters are fun, because I found i can direct them by moving my eye really qucikly. So I play 'chase the floater'.

Where I come from, 'floater' means something entirely different.  |

So I play 'chase the floater'. That happens to me to. I'll see one floating, say downward, then I'll move my eye slowly and it'll just keep "running away". |

This year i've seen them more often and in the past they haven't annoyed me but this year it was getting to me, but 90% time i don't see them. It just aggrevated me enough to think maybe something was wrong with my eyes until i found out about them. They always turn up when your outside and it's daylight. Especially when i'm not wearing my glasses and focusing on the sky, even elsewhere, i find it annoyingly in my path, but the best thing is to move your eyes around and concentrate on whats around you. Maybe it's been playing on my mind too much, but recently it hasn't bothered me though.
I see not only lines, but transparent dots grouped together like frog spawn.
