You don't have to be a genius to understand why a seventeen-year-old girl would want some space to herself. Said space should of course be a peaceful zone where she does not have to constantly shoo her eight-year-old cousins out of every five minutes. Hmm, if only there were a creative solution to this problem.

OP did some thinking and found an evil genius solution that impressed Reddit users everywhere as they swarmed in to comment their support. She decided to put up spider posters knowing well and good that her cousins are arachnophobic. Some Reddit users even made their own suggestions for taking this a step further, "There are really cool remote control tarantulas. My cat has one and loves to chase and 'kill' it over and over, the little scamp" Via Reddit. Good to know, very good to know.

    Font - My (17f) twin cousins (8m) have been staying with us for the last week while their parents are getting their house renovated. They're insanely mischievous. They keep running into my room, upending everything, throwing all my stuff everywhere, trying different passwords to unlock my desktop. If I latch the door, they'll bang at it until I let them in. Every time I or their parents yell at them, they get more amused. I discovered they're both arachnophobic. So I printed out massive spider p

    We always appreciate an evil genius, especially if there are somehow animals involved in the plan. This was a brilliant move, OP! And you are totally in the right to keep those posters up in your room, your cousins don't have any business there.

    Font - Withamoomoohere · 2 days ago Partassipant [1] As an arachnophobic, this is honestly genius. Kinda evil for sure BUT considering it's your room, I tip my hat to you. Also, idk about your cousins but for me the "sharper- looking" the spider, the creeper it is. 929 Reply Share •..

    Font - Fullondoublerainbow · 2 days ago It's the hairer the scarier for me. Also the all the extra, soulless eyes all over their faces. 25/10 would keep me out of OP's room. Well played OP, well played.

    Mammal - TheKingsdread · 2 days ago I would invest into digital picture frames and have it be spider videos and gifs. Bonus: They can be changed to display other things once the cousins are gone again.
