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.
My attic is over the detached garage, so I’d choose person hands down.
I probably wouldn’t know for a really long time, because I don’t use that space (the ladder up there is duct-taped where it cracked at some point, and since I don’t use it, I’m not about to replace it) it stays decently warm up there so less concern about finding a frozen corpse, and if someone did croak in the garage, the smell wouldn’t permanently be in the house.
But roaches would find their way into the house.
I'd definitely go with a body since the authorities can come and clean up the evidence in a shorter amount of time than it takes for the office at this apartment complex I'm living in to send in someone to take care of the roaches.
living in your attic.
Even if it was a living person, it'd still take police less time to clear them out than it would for the front office to get pest control to come in.
100% would do the person
you can befriend them easier than roaches
I legit used to farm cockroaches in bins in my garage to sell online to reptile owners. I'll take the cockroaches.

Am I the only one here who can't work out what the second person is saying in that reply? Having a "has anyone really been far even as decided..." moment.
Paraphrased, it says: "this made me think hard because I don't like either option"
Nothing else is important information, just sensational fluff to make a regular statement sound more exciting.

Id rather find a person. Finding them implies i was looking for them all along right? Haha
