Today, after moving in with a couple of vegan zoologists a few weeks ago, I discover that they don't believe that we have the right to kill cockroaches, and will not allow me to do so. The house is infested, and it's spread to my bedroom. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my pregnant girlfriend and I moved into our first home together, signing a 1-year lease. Less than 12 hours later, we've discovered that the place is infested with cockroaches and we have a mouse. The landlord won't let us out of the contract. FML
Today, after months of my girlfriend crying about cockroaches, I finally called and paid for an exterminator. Now she's furious at me for "making decisions for her" and she keeps pointing out that, since she owns the house, what I did was technically illegal. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally moved in with me, after being long distance for months. Our apartment just became infested with mice. FML
Today, an exterminator sprayed for cockroaches in my dorm room. After classes I got back to find three large cockroaches on top of my bed. Now that the exterminator has sprayed everything, all the cockroaches are coming out. FML
Today, my girlfriend won't stay over at my apartment anymore. Why? Because she saw a few roaches. Pest control comes every week and I spray every other day, so there's only so much I can about it. The worst part is now it's extremely difficult to spend time together because she lives with her mom and sister, who argue nonstop. FML
Today, I moved in with my new roommate. She's a vegetarian, and won't let me put my meat in the fridge because it will "contaminate her food". FML
Today, I’ve lived in my apartment for more than five years and never had more than the occasional housefly. Three months after I got new downstairs neighbors I’ve been hit with a massive roach infestation, and they decided to bring their lovely ant friends with them. FML
Today, I've lived in my apartment for over 5 years with no bugs, as I'm phobic of them. I broke up with my ex, who smirked at me and declared war. I now have thousands of roaches that I can't get rid of. Coincidence? FML
Today, my girlfriend and I moved back in after over a month of couch hopping and $2,000 of heat and chemical treatments for a chronic bedbug issue. I just found bedbugs on my legs. We've used all our favors and have nowhere to go. FML
Today, for the third day in a row, I have been volunteered to kill and dispose of the bugs entering my apartment. I live with two "manly" men who can't use a flyswatter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Kill them anyway?

I don't care if they don't want cockroaches to die; I would go nuclear on those nasty creatures.

don't let them boss you around like that, just cause they choose to live their life with those beliefs it doesn't mean you must do the same.

How will they know that you put down pesticide when they are gone? If I were you I'd move soon they will be in all your stuff, and you'd transport to your new dwelling. They will get in your electronics, and even worse crawl in your ears while you sleep.. Move quickly guy!!!!

You can do whatever you want, they don't have to kill them. You do what you want to do, don't listen to them.

Wonder how vegan they will be when they accidentally eat the cockroaches that have infested their food?

Oh that will be hilarious first time they find one floating in their granola & soy milk! Lol!!

Or when they are eating all of a sudden, crunch.. crunch.. crunch! Then they pick their teeth and find a leg still twitching.

That's just disgusting. Tell them you have the right to kill those nasty creatures and just do it. Sure they will hate you after it, but at least you're bug problem is solved. And in the meantime start finding a new place to live with hopefully better roommates.

Step1- if they don't own the place, notify the landlord ASAP, & request he/she place you in another of their rentals. If they own it, find a friends house, sleep in your car, whatever. Just get OUT! Those things carry all sort of filth & diseases. Step 2- Seal EVERYTHING you own into airtight plastic tubs after making sure none of the disgusting things are in the stuff you are packing. If even one makes it in, you will just be taking them with you. Do not use cardboard boxes, no matter how well they are taped, there are always little gaps they can get in. When checking the stuff you are packing, inspect the insides of any electronics as best you can, or pack those separately & use an insecticidal powder in that box. Roaches love warmth & dark so things like clock radios are like condos to them. I have been through a similar experience ( roommate was just so nasty I couldn't get rid of the things) Don't be fooled thinking they're just getting to your room. For every one you see there are a couple hundred hiding in the walls, baseboards, ect. Feel way bad for you, hope you escape soon!
