I'd pick the person.

I feel like thats not even that many roaches for a real infestation

Also doesnt mention what kind

And there are proffesionals you can call probably once to deal with that problem.

If you find a human living in your attic unbeknownst to you well

Thats a lifetime of therapy or more to deal with after dealing with the immediate problem

Roaches every time

fr, that person might rape and/or murder me but the roaches won’t lol

Absolutely with you here. Roaches is normal at worst

I was going to say exactly this. 1,000 roaches is not that many roaches, can be easily dealt with, and pose no serious immediate threat.

One human could kill you and your entire family and then burn your house down.

If you see 1 roach, there’s probably 1,000 more hiding. If you see 1,000 roaches…

Then there’s only one hiding?

Roaches can cause respiratory problems, but I’d take that over potential murder and rape.

Also, I would be very disappointed in my dogs if they didn’t notice a person living in the attic. You can find a ball by scent–you’d better notice a person creeping around!

A person creeping around? That’s just Paul, mate. You know Paul, he’s been living in the attic for years. Stupid human, doesn’t even recognize it’s own flatmates.

My dog would have just befriended the person and convinced them to bring him snacks.

Why do we assume the human wants to harm you? If they’re in your attic, that means they would have already killed you if they wanted.

Chances are if you maintain peace, they will.

I don’t want random dildos hanging out in my house without my knowledge, friendly or not. At least with the roaches, I don’t have to have a conversation.

It’s so interesting that people assume the worst of the human, unironically says something about society. I was just imagining a homeless person.

Because humans are much more sneaky and vicious than that. People like that in the real world are squatters who can and have harmed them on discovery.

What if it’s a nice person though?

They would have asked if they could live in my attic

May I live in your attic? I’m a great cook.

A LIFETIME of therapy?

to be fairy there are also professionals who will be all too willing to take any unregistered humans off your hands…

Does anyone know I’ve found this person?

Free person.

Think of the possibilities.

“Is anyone aware that I have located the individual in my attic?”

I want to hear your answer for both options.

1000 roaches?

I’d roll them into a blunt.

No, I mean when they know you found someone and when they don’t.

I hate bugs, like HATE. But I watched that video of the girl living in the storage space in the ceiling. And she’d come down at night to eat food and piss in the sink… I’ll take the bugs

Thanks for making me discover that. Could’ve lived my whole life without knowing about it.

Well now I’m debating my answer.

I guess the toilet would make to much noise.

It never said where she’d #2 tho… That’s what scares me most. If she’s peeing in the sink…

How long could each of these options live off the other?

Fun one. I grew up in trailers and we had roaches. Id wake up with them crawling all over. Turn on a light and up the walls they go. Now I’m a behavior therapist and I’d take the person who obviously means me no harm over skittering ass bugs. There’s nothing that says they have to stay either or that they can’t be helped :)

As someone who had bedbugs, I’d rather wrestle a person than ever see a bug in my place that isn’t a spider again.

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
