Behold: one of the greatest examples of malicious compliance ever told. This Grandma's commitment to stubbornness is truly unmatched. Back in the 1950s, things were much different than they are now in almost every way. Back then, stereotypical gender roles were in full force, with women getting married, having lots of children, and running a household while raising the kiddies. Meanwhile, the man of the house would work a job. That's it. But that was considered the men's responsibility. Back th…

If your parent sets you up to get a job, it's understandable why you'd want to give the role a chance. However, for this person, the red flags were waving almost as soon as they met the dude who was about to be their boss. First impressions matter a lot, which is why some bosses will put on their happiest face while interviewing. That's what happened to u/iheartzigg, who told the r/MaliciousCompliance community about their disastrous trucking gig . It seems like the OP's boss managed to seem no…

There's nothing like a ruthless Karen at a gas station getting exactly what she deserves!

Road rage is usually a bad thing. When you're behind the wheel and you start to see red, it's probably time to take a break from traffic and give your blood pressure a rest. Not in this case. In this situation, one man's road rage actually became a potential life saver after he witnessed a reckless driver nearly pancake an innocent family.

Often when hearing of a good job opportunity, people are on their best behavior, hoping that they'll pass the interview. After they get the job, the pretty picture that the company carefully curated begins to crumble, leaving a gaping black hole behind the velvet curtains that turn out to be a prop. In this case, OP was convinced by a friend to drive 9 hours for a new job that sounded at first like a ‘good gig’. It took OP exactly 3.5 days to realize that something was very off about their boss…

This car had some major issues — for one, the steering wheel was about to break off. There's a stereotype about mechanics. Some people think mechanics are only interested in trying to get money out of them. They believe that instead of a quick fix that costs a few dollars, that their mechanic is actually trying to get them to spend thousands of dollars to perform unnecessary work . To be fair, some mechanics do operate this way, and it's hard to figure out who's right – you, the person who driv…

Contentious doesn't even begin to describe how people act about parking lots and getting the perfect spot. For many drivers, it's imperative to get a good spot, even if it takes some time of circling the lot, searching for a spot where no one else is parked too close. This lucky person, u/bizzzfire, wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a question about a parking dispute. The OP writes that they were pretty sure they were doing the right thing by protecting their assigned spot, but after their interact…

Tests exist to gauge understanding of a subject but often have the unfortunate effect of influencing the curriculum itself to achieve the best results for that test—even if that's not the best result for the students. Test designers and administrators are (usually) only humans themselves and are not free from the bias of their own perspectives and beliefs. Intentionally introducing a trick into the test that seeks to catch students out is probably unethical, especially when the test is one that…

If you drive, you already know how many people with licenses really shouldn't have received theirs. After all, lots of folks take drivers ed as a teenager, learn the rules well enough to pass their test, and then just keep driving for the rest of their lives without getting much better at it. Check out these hilariously parked people below (plus a few clever signs designed just to tell them off). Then, read this story about a waitress whose outfit choice was questioned by the diners she was ser…

Always be cautious who you let drive your car . Vehicles are pricey not just to purchase, but also to maintain. After that initial purchase, you still have to fill it up with gas and deal with any fender benders that might occur. That's enough for one person to deal with, but this guy lent his car to his neighbor, and she is far from gentle with his car. The OP shared the story with r/AmItheA**hole, seeking judgement for if he's been too harsh about revoking this woman's car privileges. However…

Always be kind to your mechanics!

New York parking is no joke. It's a battle at the best of times. If driving stresses you out, don't ever drive in New York City ! It's super stressful, and it's nearly impossible to ever find parking. Even in Brooklyn, where traffic tends to be lighter, parking problems still arise. One Brooklyn resident shared that they live near the beach (Maybe Coney Island? It's a popular tourist spot, though the OP didn't specify). Random people will constantly park in the OP's driveway. It must be infuria…

This Karen thought that she could use the shoulder to skip a queue of traffic on the motorway, but when a semi-driver decided that he was going to have none of that and intervened, he caused her to crash into a conveniently placed police cruiser. The story was witnessed and shared to r/MaliciousCompliance by a truck driver, Redditor u/fmintar1. They shared this story to the popular subreddit to share how they got one up on this queue-dodging cretin. The types of people that do things like this…

The honking of one's horn is a divisive subject; either you're someone who uses their horn frequently and liberally, or your car might as well not have had one installed in the first place. In my view, the horn is there for a reason: to make sure others are aware of your presence if you're concerned they're not already or to make them aware that the traffic light turned green ten seconds ago. Don't get me wrong; there is a multitude of ways that people abuse and misuse it—protecting your fragil…

No one actually needs four whole parking spots for their car, but this guy certainly felt entitled to them! Searching for parking spaces is time consuming while making you feel silly at the same time. You have to do endless loops around the lot, trying to find just one singular spot to park your car . You may even think you see a spot, but as you pull up, you spot a smaller car has already claimed the spot. So you do another lap, and another, and so on… The only thing that would worsen the expe…

Growing older brings wisdom, but for these folks, it's also come with some irritations as well. Nothing ever stays the same. When you're a kid, you get used to life as it is, and then you grow up, and it's a whirlwind of new technology, meeting new people who go in and out of your life, careers, travel, and much more. It feels like you were a teenager just yesterday, but suddenly there are wrinkles under your eyes, and your knees are aching, and you have never heard of the slang these kids are…
