They’re always trying to use your laptop.
And by “use” I mean sleep on it.
-
They have no regards for boundaries.
They nap on your bed, drink out of your cup, sit on your lap, etc.
-
They make messes and pretend they don’t exist.
No, that’s cool, I’ll clean up those scraps from dinner that you’ve conveniently scattered EVERYWHERE!
-
They have no consideration regarding whether or not you’re asleep.
I love waking up at 3 a.m. because someone decided that they would like to work on improving their “singing.”
-
They don’t pay rent.
In fact, they don’t pay for anything: food, utilities, household products, etc.
BUT…
-
They’ll hunt down spiders if you bring it to their attention.
No more lost sleep due to worrying about spiders trespassing.
-
They keep themselves groomed (for the most part), which makes living with them slightly more bearable.
Common hygiene knowledge is essential in someone who is going to be sharing an enclosed space with you.
-
They don’t unexpectedly bring strangers into the house, except for the occasional mouse.
At least the rodents are dead and not running amidst your belongings.
