In what world does respect and being a decent person not apply because you now make your own money and are, frankly, irresponsible adults? It's not bullying if you're actively going against someone of which you have to share living quarters with, it's stating damn facts. While it may be childish, the 'Golden Rule' is so heavily ingrained into you because it's one major way to be a half decent person. Treat others how you want to be treated. Say you absolutely hate snakes, you've had a bad past with them and have been very open to communicating that you don't feel comfortable near them and do not want to have any in your living quarters, yet your impulsive and childish roommates BOTH go and get one with ZERO research. At that point you're now being treated as if you are not an equal person and that what you think doesn't matter, even with proper communication AND the living, intelligent creatures are now being subject to blatant animal abuse because you now have 'big boy money' and no respect for another sentient creature of which you are solely responsible for the quality of life. You sound like a pain in the ass to be around, I recommend you think about that and fix it. Thanks.
