This move was a headache from start two finish for one small moving company. One of the movers shared their story to r/MaliciousCompliance---and it is a perfect example of that! The OP, u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC, writes that they worked at a tiny moving company, usually tackling one job at a time with their boss Mike. OP writes that the work was demanding, but it was worth it, because most people were truly grateful for the helping hand. Not everyone can move their own belongings, and even if you can,…

This sailor is sticking to the honor code to help people in his community. Not everyone agrees with his hands-on methods, though. The people of the internet are divided over this guy's grandfather's story of malicious compliance. It's a classic tale of landlord versus tenant. Unless you live in a rent stabilized building, your landlord can charge you basically whatever they feel is fair for rent. This is a big problem these days, since many of us are priced out of living in even the most modest…

Unless you live in a secluded spot in the wilderness, you are constantly gambling with whom you end up neighbors with. Maybe you end up next to LeBron and Roberta, those cool, laid-back neighbors who always have sugar handy when you run out. But, perhaps you wind up living next to Ken and Karen, the type of entitled folk who either grew up without any manners or never properly picked them up because of some kind of fluke in their personality. Unfortunately, u/controversial_jelly ended up with t…

In case you haven't learned this already, it's your landlord's world and you are unfortunately living in it. Yes, in this day and age, it seems like landlords are becoming even more unnecessarily powerful than they should be and are capitalizing on that power as much as they can. This collection of top landlord stories from Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit only brings back haunting memories of my first New York apartment, the unstoppable ceiling leakage, and the unsolvable roach infestation. B…

If you're looking to go for a swim in the middle of your living room , I know the perfect house for you. Seriously — it exists. And it's #22 on this list of eccentric houses. When you want to sell your home , a realtor and photographer will help you snap a bunch of pictures that make your home seem appealing to a potential buyer. Usually, they'll try to highlight the best features while downplaying the worst of them. However, some houses are so, um, unique that there's no hiding the previous ow…

This family will not be stopped by an HOA. The whole concept of an HOA is designed to benefit HOA members, not the people who live in the neighborhood . We all want to just decorate our properties as we see fit. If you're an adult who owns a property, why should anyone else tell you what to do there (not counting things outside the law, obviously). If you want to plant sunflowers, put in a nice swing, or support your favorite sports team with a sign or a flag, there's no reason you shouldn't do…

‘Kids these days’ is a saying that has been used for centuries to describe the younger generation, who have some serious courage (more than I ever had, to be sure). Kids don't really get the implications of their actions unless they are taught a lesson, and that lesson can come in all shapes and forms. Good parenting is critical to solving recurring issues, such as the one I am about to tell, and luckily the dad in the story understood the assignment. OP began his tale by explaining how two kid…

This dude got the deal of a lifetime , and he did it completely by accident. One day, this guy went to wander around a big box hardware store to check out their lawnmowers. When you're making a big purchase like that, it helps to see the machines in person, instead of just relying on the internet. This guy found an especially great deal, because the store's display lawn mower was up for sale. As with lots of big purchases, usually you have to check out several stores and be prepared before buyi…

Clients lie. This is the one thing that is certain for every contractor in every industry. For some reason, know-it-all clients feel like it's some kind of flex to press their hobby knowledge on someone who is literally a professional in that field. In this case, a pushy Californian client was getting his home remodeled and couldn't fight his manly urge to try and teach his contractor a thing or two...

This HOA member had a personal vendetta against her neighbors. It seems like this is one of those stories of neighbors who have bad blood. Oftentimes, a small issue will spark an argument that goes unresolved. Then, over years or even decades, a feud between neighbors begins until eventually they're nemeses. These fights can get so personal — because they're your neighbor, they probably know your work schedule, who you live with, and any number of other personal tidbits about your life. The sto…

If you do something badly enough, you might not get asked to do it again. This dude was just trying to be a good neighbor — but he could tell when his good deeds were unwanted. Growing up near the Rocky Mountains , this person and their family had to deal with snow a lot. Luckily for the OP, their dad owned a snow blower. Instead of shovelling, which takes ages, they could just take care of the snow without pulling a muscle. Plus, in a snow storm, shovelling can be futile anyway. All your hard…

No matter how gorgeous the house is, be careful getting a place where HOAs rule the land. These people are sharing their own cautionary tales in this video below. HOAs, which stands for Home Owner's Associations, are groups of elected individuals who make rules to keep a neighborhood looking its best. However, these can quickly get out of hand. Instead of making common sense rules or helping people in need, HOAs seem to basically exist to make a home owner's life a living nightmare. Once you se…

These people didn't hold back when talking about their neighbors' silliest habits . From keeping the radio on 24/7 to disputes over property lines, there are lots of things you and your neighbors might disagree over. It's great to befriend your neighbors if possible. Alongside having a pleasant atmosphere in your neighborhood , it's nice to have someone you can depend on to water your plants or get your mail while you're out of town. That's assuming you have normal neighbors, but a lot of peopl…

When buying a property and beginning to build on it, you need a bunch of permits, and the house needs to pass inspection, which won't be possible if you don't build according to country code. But sometimes, if you're smart enough, you can dodge the rules, and make up some of your own. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's quite something. In this case, OP shared a story about his ‘shady’ grandpa, who according to OP, was a very smart man, but also, not the greatest person in the world.…

Here's a friendly reminder that if you're not a fan of the color of your neighbor's house, too bad! It's none of your business! This Kevin detested the Redditor's new house color so much that he tried to form an HOA and pass rules to force his neighbor to change the color. Talk about someone with way too much time on his hands. If this guy had a job or responsibilities or some semblance of a social life, none of this drama would have unfolded the way that did. Unfortunately for the Redditor, ho…

This isn't just a poorly designed house, it's a poorly designed home. Imagine you buy a house before it's been constructed. You check out the blueprints, and you're no construction expert, so you figure the pros must know what they're doing. But as you can see from the images below, not every architectural project goes as planned! I'm obsessed with the builders who installed an escalator right into the wall of a building. It's the definition of “that's not my job.” They have
