'It was a nightmare living situation': College student averts $500 fine by sparring with roommate, malicious compliance ensues

Surviving the experience of living with an awful roommate is not the character-building experience people say it is. Some experiences are just awful ones, and sometimes, there is not much to learn from a roommate's ridiculous, uncalled-for behavior. Sometimes, the goal is just to get out in one piece and the takeaway is, "well that was a bad chapter in my life." 

This college student sparred with their roommate from the very beginning. They would leave passive-aggressive notes to one another about dirty dishes and using one another's things, but things escalated when it was revealed that the Redditor's roommate was trying to switch apartments without having to pay a $500 fee. So how did the roommate avoid that fee? Well, she accused OP of intimidation, and the two were both threatened with having to pay more fees if they touched one another's items. 

That's when it dawned on OP that most of their shared items did not belong to their roommate, so OP went and removed all of those items from common spaces. Keep scrolling below to see how the roommate reacted and to see whatever happened to that $500 fee in the end.
