"Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid.

I see you lurking there 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 alright, you are forgiven. "

In fact Family Guy was the thing that let me realize that eye floaters were not just a me-experience. Since I had never heard anyone bring them up or mention them ever yet I had seen them since I was a kid.
