The person. It doesn't even say of it's alive or dead, if it's someone you know or not, if it's someone who also lives in the house or not.

A thousand cockroaches is a lot

Fine, you get a corpse full of 1000 cockroaches 🪳

Congrats!

Roaches don't have squatters rights.

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 mean. With roaches you could always hire an exterminator. Not so with a person.

I guess you could call the cops, they really like killing people.

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.

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.

A person can't hide in my shirts to crawl on me when I put them on

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
