Like don't get me wrong, I don't mind them. They mostly keep to themselves, and they even take care of bugs for me which I appreciate, but they've kinda been getting on my nerves with some of this stuff.

Here are the rules, they didn't seem outlandish to me, but we've been having lots of run-ins lately:

  • Stay away from my food! (no issues so far tbh)
  • Clean up after yourself! They're pretty good about it, but twice now in two days they've blocked the front door and it's just a mess to deal with.
  • Stay out of my personal space! Like no, we don't need to share a couch, stay in the corner lol. I feel like they literally choose to sit close enough to give me anxiety.
  • No sex! They definitely don't use protection or anything and I really don't want to have to deal with a million little ones running around down the line. They can do that activity elsewhere.
  • Announce yourself if I knock on the bathroom door! I keep freaking walking in them when the lights are off and I get no response, but then they're just in there when I walk in like I wouldn't notice?? I don't get this one.
  • No running in the house! They act like I scare them when I come into the room in MY OWN HOUSE! Drives me nuts. Just stay put lmao
  • No drama! This is zero tolerance for me. If you look aggressive or like you're gonna come at me for any reason, you're getting evicted. End of story.

So what do you guys think? Am I being unreasonable? I want to help them out but idk sometimes.

spoilerThey're spiders, that's the bit. The joke is that there are spiders in my house.

No sex? What is this, Bible camp?

Anyway, these guys sound like they suck and should be paying you rent

The no sex is op's rule volcel-vanguard

Yet suddenly the roommates have a bunch of kids they didn't have before?! Op was cool with a couple of non-paying roommates but now they're living in a Max Frisch play.

How many flies per week would you think is a reasonable rate

[-] ghosts@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Honestly if a spider ever gifted me even a single fly I'd set them up for life

I have pretty much the same rules +one more: If you get in my bed while I am in it I will probably kill you.

Kick them out before they get squatters rights
