Living with someone you know always comes with risk. Living with someone from The Office takes that risk and blows it up into pure madness. Watching these people fight at Dunder Mifflin feels safe because you sit on your couch.
Imagine Dwight watching you eat cereal from the corner of the kitchen. Picture Kelly turning your place into her drama stage every single night. Think about Michael Scott showing up in your room at midnight holding a burrito and talking about his next big movie idea. These coworkers might look harmless when they argue near the copier, but your life would spin if they shared your rent.
Your food would vanish when you need it most. Your couch would stay occupied by people you never invited. Your sleep would crumble because someone always needs your advice about Ryan or the Senator, or beet juice. You would lose your patience, but you would keep laughing. You would swear you would leave, but you would stay just to see what they do next.
These nine people would push you to your limit, but also give you the best bad roommate stories you could ever tell at any party for the rest of your life.

9 The Office characters you’d regret moving in with… but it’d be hilarious
1) Michael Scott

Living with Michael Scott would ruin sleep every night because he does not know when to stop. He once drove into a lake because he trusted the GPS too much, and he never learns from mistakes. He would wake you up at dawn with burrito talk and random song ideas.
He once made his own movie, Threat Level Midnight, and forced coworkers to act for free. He would do the same in your living room, and you would have no say. Every plan would backfire, but you would end up laughing when you tell it to someone later.
2) Dwight Schrute

Dwight turns any place into a bunker. He once lit a fire in a trash can just to prove people panic too easily. He would keep beet juice stocked in your fridge because that is his family business. He would drill you on house rules every week with no break.
He once tricked Jim into signing a roommate agreement with wild rules nobody could follow. He would tape record your leftovers to catch you stealing your own food. His cousin Mose would show up without warning. Living with Dwight means no safe corner and no peaceful night ever.
3) Kelly Kapoor

Kelly Kapoor drains the air with endless stories. She once told Ryan she might be pregnant just to stop him from ignoring her. She would trap you on the couch while she breaks down an emoji in Ryan’s text for three hours straight. You would never control the TV.
She made the annex her throne at Dunder Mifflin because she wants the spotlight. She would leave makeup all over your bathroom, and cry about Ryan, and then plan a party five minutes later. Living with Kelly means you never get one silent moment alone in your own home.
4) Ryan Howard

Ryan Howard sells big dreams that never happen. He once burned the office because he thought cheese puffs belonged in the toaster oven. He used Dunder Mifflin as his personal launch pad for fake projects. He would forget rent because he says his Venmo stopped working again.
He would crash on your couch for weeks and drain your Wi-Fi to build another fake start-up. He would brag about titles nobody gave him. Ryan leaves behind a mess and empty promises while acting like he runs the world. Sharing rent with him means paying more when he disappears on purpose.
5) Andy Bernard

Andy wakes up singing. He once punched a wall because someone hid his stapler. He left for a boat trip when he should have been a manager. He would invite his Cornell a cappella buddies to sing at your place before breakfast. You would not get a choice to say no.
He wants praise for every silly banjo tune he plays. He would drink your wine when he sulks. He made everyone in Scranton tiptoe around his mood swings. He would throw movie night tantrums when you did not clap. Sharing walls with Andy feels like living in a musical meltdown.
6) Angela Martin

Angela brings cats that wreck furniture, but she blames you for a dusty shelf. She once hid her secret Dwight romance behind her judgmental looks. She ruled the Party Planning Committee like a tiny tyrant. She would inspect your groceries and say they fail her test for decency.
She forced cat hair onto every surface at Dunder Mifflin and would do the same at home. She would scold you for late laundry and sniff for what she calls moral weakness. She dragged the Senator into her mess, too. Living with Angela feels like sharing space with cold eyes and claws.
7) Meredith Palmer

Meredith does not believe in quiet nights. She once shaved her head just to land a paper discount. She bragged about Michael hitting her with his car because it gave her perks. She would turn Tuesday into party night and leave the fridge empty except for beer and old takeout.
She stashed vodka in her office drawer so your kitchen shelf would stand no chance. She would flick ashes on your carpet while singing karaoke at three in the morning. Meredith pulls chaos wherever she lives — living with her means never knowing who sleeps on your floor next.
8) Creed Bratton

Creed once ran a fake company inside the office printer room. He switched his name at work more than once to dodge trouble. He would grab your mail without asking because he thinks he needs it more than you do. He might store frozen things you should not ask about.
He never answered questions straight at Dunder Mifflin, so you would not get answers at home either. He forgets names but knows too many secrets. He once stole from the office safe. Living with Creed feels like sharing walls with a ghost who laughs when you ask what he does.
9) Stanley Hudson

Stanley wants silence. He slept at his desk because he hates effort. He exploded if people got in his way during Pretzel Day. He would scowl if you opened a cabinet too loudly. He once planned to retire in Florida so he could nap all day without Michael’s voice.
He would ignore your small talk and do crossword puzzles instead, and he would never clean dishes because he believes chores waste time. He blocked out Scranton’s chaos with pure boredom. He would block you out, too. Living with Stanley means no arguments but no help when you need it most.
