'Fifty years of malicious compliance': Man blames wife for late dinner, she decides to never drive again

Behold: one of the greatest examples of malicious compliance ever told. This Grandma's commitment to stubbornness is truly unmatched.

Meanwhile, the man of the house would work a job. That's it. But that was considered the men's responsibility. Back th…

'This is the first time I have ever asked to have some time off': Boss tells nanny to miss sister's wedding to watch her two kids instead

'Get off my property!': Delusional Karen breaks into a military family's garden, threatening to run them out of town to acquire their property; police remove her, justice ensues, and the family lives happily ever after in their forever home
