What kind of degenerate sleeps without the head of their bed up against a wall?
People who have had bedbugs. Old habits die hard.
Say what?
When you get bedbugs and want to prevent them from getting on your bed (after treatment, say) you pull your bed away from the wall, thus limiting the surfaces they can transfer from. If you also put your bedposts in interceptor traps you’re pretty safe from them. They’ll get stuck in the traps and be unable to get out.
Source: had to deal with the bastards for a year because of a useless landlord and incompetent exterminator. Got really, really good at pest management.
TIL
Ha, stupid bedbugs. A trap like that would probably never fool me!
I heard that they can climb to the ceiling and drop down. Not sure how true it is, but helps to enforce how nightmarish they are, like they are some sort of unstoppable entity.
I've heard that too, but it seems pretty unlikely and I never experienced it when I had bedbugs. Plus it would have to be a pregnant(?) bedbug to continue to spread the infestation, otherwise the rare one that dropped on the bed would be stuck there and eventually die...
I dunno if they’re quite that smart. If they are, they didn’t do that when I had them.
Right, but in that case you could get a frame with a headboard.
A headboard touching the ground just invites them in. If the headboard is removable, remove it temporarily.
They are mounted to the same frame you said you put on the trap stands.
Yes, but some are removable. If you can’t remove it you’re pretty much screwed - good luck getting a headboard inside of an interceptor trap. Just the bedposts, wheels, or whatever the frame has go into the traps. Basically you need to limit the access they have from wherever they’re hiding to your bed.
I think their point was that some head boards don't go to the floor
To be fair, I’m unsure what their point was. I was just going with what I had to work with.
I'm in the bed in the middle of my room gang, never had bed bugs.
But then Monsters can attack you from any angle - Bed in the corner gang sleeping back to the wall.
Lol, I'll even wake up sleeping with my back to the door -- no fear.
Wtf next thing you're going to say you sleep with your arm hanging off the side of the bed or your feet sticking over the edge. I'm surprised you're still alive.
I've only woken up like that a few dozen times in my life.
What a mad lad. Is it possible to learn this power?
I guess just move your bed to the middle of the room and wait until you get used to it. I'm not sure about the subconscious/sleeping part... Maybe it'll just happen naturally over time?
Absolutely diabolical
Maybe they have problems with night sweats

Me. I don't need my bed clapping against the wall alerting my incredibly nosy neighbors to my evening activities.
What'chu know about what goes on in my butt?
