There are a few "roommate etiquette" rules we should all be able to agree to: don't use or take something that doesn't belong to you, at least without asking; don't eat your roommate's food; and honestly, don't touch their food, especially with your bare hands.
A leading rule, however, should be: If you break something that belongs to your roommate, you should replace it.
But TikToker @tallertoddlers did not seem to understand those rules as she began to film herself ranting about the extravagant item her roommate had recently acquired.
As she opened the fridge, the TikTok vented:
"I just want you to imagine how it felt opening the fridge to get some s**tty leftovers and finding this..."
She then pulled out a large chocolate shaped like a purse that her roommate had received from a guy who really liked her on their first date. It was a Louis Vuitton chocolate purse, valued at $249.
The TikToker held up the purse with a smug look on her face. She was about to vent about what the item was when the handle snapped, and the body of the chocolate purse dropped to the floor, shattering everywhere.
The TikToker's mouth was wide open, and she repeatedly glanced back at herself in the camera, probably hoping what had just happened had not actually just happened.
She repeated:
"Oh my god, oh my god. I just broke the purse. I just broke the chocolate purse."

Fellow TikTokers were angry on her roommate's behalf, demanding that she fix her mistake.

To add insult to injury, the TikToker then invited her friend, who was staying with the two roommates for a few days, to taste test the chocolate Louis Vuitton bag, including the center filling, which she claimed had a "hazelnutty flavor."

This only served to make fellow TikTokers even angrier than before.

A few days later, the TikToker claimed to "apologize" to her roommate for breaking the chocolate bag by buying her a simple cake with white frosting.
The frosted writing on the cake read:
"This is not a Louis Vuitton cake. But HBD!"
She claimed that her roommate forgave her for the incident, and her roommate appeared to laugh in the video when she saw the cake.

Fellow TikTokers were not impressed by the "replacement" cake.

Mistakes do happen, and there are other reasons, like buying new groceries or reorganizing the fridge, that might have led the TikToker to touch her roommate's chocolate purse.
But using the incident for views, eating the chocolate herself, and not even buying her roommate a suitable replacement screams of jealousy and petty revenge, not friendship.
