When family members gives tours to guests in your bedroom as if it's a museum and not where you go to be alone.

Happens to me. You get a stream of people going through, and then its time to break out the crickets...

...when you talk of strange Tenebrionidae while half-asleep, and wake up wondering why the ones you caught have suddenly "vanished"

Ah ha ha! Oh, how many invertebrates have slipped through my fingers that way!

"We both knew it would get out eventually. Now grab the flashlight and help me."

When you buy multiple slings trying to get a female, then keep finding reasons not to sell off the extras. Get two females - "What if something happens to the one I keep? I better hang on to both of them". Get two males - "the price isn't very good for these, I'll just hold on to them to see if I can get a trade".
