Strange Things People Have Done When Moving

by Joanie Jacques, Realtor

Moving can be stressful, but sometimes people get…creative. From quirky traditions to downright funny choices, these strange moving habits might make you laugh—and maybe even inspire your own move!

Painting Rooms Bright Neon Colors
Some people go all out with bold paint choices before selling or moving in. Neon green bathrooms? Hot pink kitchens? While it might not be everyone’s style, it definitely makes the home memorable for visitors and buyers.
Bringing Pets Along—Even the Unusual Ones
Dogs, cats, and even pet chickens have been known to ride along during moves. Some families treat their pets like co-pilots, making sure every crate, cage, or travel pen is part of the moving plan.
Hiding Treasures in the House
Some homeowners hide small surprises, money, or notes in nooks and crannies. While this can be fun, it’s a reminder to check every corner during inspections or walk-throughs!
Creative Packing Techniques
People have been known to pack everything—from furniture to dishes—using everything from bubble wrap to unconventional containers. One person even moved a couch by sliding it on a tarp across the floor!
Unique Goodbye Rituals
Some families take quirky farewell photos, write messages on walls, or even plant a tree to mark the occasion. Moving doesn’t have to be all stress; these little rituals make it memorable.

Moving doesn’t always have to be serious. While some of these stories are a little unusual, they remind us that a little creativity—and a sense of humor—can make the process more fun.
