The last time I lived with roommates, I wasn’t simply moving out of our apartment; I was moving to a different country. So there were plenty of items I couldn’t take with me: my fancy blender (I still miss it to this day), my Google Nest Wifi router, my Christmas decorations, my mattress and more. But I liked my roommates, so I didn’t mind leaving behind items that I knew they would actually use.
However, if you’re not a fan of the people you live with, there’s absolutely no need to be generous upon moving out. One woman recently posted on the Malicious Compliance subreddit detailing why she decided to take all of her things with her after moving out of her apartment. Below, you’ll find the full story, as well as some of the replies amused readers shared.
