It's refreshing to read that for once, the folks at a car dealership were those ones who had to pay up. We come across too many stories on the Internet of folks getting cheated and tricked and having to pay the price, but this Redditor cleverly circumnavigated the system in order to get what they deserved. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Ko-Riel , who explained that they purchased a car with three years of maintenance included. When it came time for the c…

Neighborly arguing is bound to happen when property lines get fuzzy, and the truth becomes a prize to be sought after, even though one side is clearly bending it to their favor. I have had my fair share of neighborly disputes, whether it was because some people were simply very loud, inconsiderate, or entitled. Unfortunately, I did not win every case, but the ones I did are etched in my memory like a 1st grade participation award. In this case, the OP was dealing with the type of person who thi…

Some bosses don't believe in excuses. They have a zero tolerance policy for latenesses or absences, as if they're managing robots, and not human beings. If you've never worked in the food service industry, let me tell you a secret: snow days are often incredibly busy times at restaurants of all kinds. It seems counterintuitive---after all, if the roads are closed and temperatures are in the negatives, who's going to want to go out for a burger? What happens, though, is that people lose power an…

Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean your neighbor has ten dogs ? This person shared a malicious compliance tale, and buried that rather surprising fact in the story. Owning one or two dogs is pretty usual. Lots of people adopt one dog, decide the pup has been getting lonely during the day while they're alone, and then they'll get a second dog to keep that one company. Owning ten dogs is certainly out of the ordinary! That must be a full time job to feed, groom, walk, and play with an whole squad…

Be careful what you complain about in your household! Otherwise, you might end up having to cook your own food. When you're sharing space with someone, whether it's a family member, a partner, or a roommate you found on Craigslist, you have to divide the household tasks appropriately. Those decisions will look different for every living space, but as long as there's a well-understood compromise among all those residing in said living space, there shouldn't be very many problems. Now, if you're…

Imagine you have a master keycard, giving you access to an entire building, and then you bring that to the attention of a facility manager, knowing full well you two don't exactly get along. That is exactly what this feisty Karen did, obviously unaware of the consequences that her actions would have in regard to her ‘status’. This Karen was not the brightest crayon in the box, and her need to complain took her down a slippery slope that I surely would not recommend to anyone. If you have privil…

This worker found out at the worst possible time that their company only saw her as a number. Instead of treating this employee as a person, and giving her some basic human decency, u/ennovyelechim's boss made it clear that she cared more about a few minutes of work . This seems to be an oddly common occurrence. Someone will be going through a tough life event, whether it's someone close passing away, or an illness, or another big life challenge. You can try to hide your feelings about it, but…

People working blue-collar jobs are the entire reason our cities and homes are running, and they are a vital part of the system we've got pat down. Trust me when I say I've got a lot of respect for those folk… and yet, this story is still undeniably funny, because these workers in question got a pretty fair warning from OP, but ignored it, leaving them stranded in the rain after a grueling 12-hour shift. But wait, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself… so let me take a step back and start from the…

It always seems to be the moment where we think too much of ourselves, riding high and mighty on our high horse, that we're struck down… and when you're riding high, there's a longer way to fall.

This boss kept reminding their employee over and over just how disposable they were. It's no wonder the employee got really tired of hearing that! This boss must not care about workplace morale at all. If she did, she wouldn't speak to her employees in such a degrading tone. The OP, u/Public_Pressure_4516, shared they were working at a bank, but just as a part time gig. The OP is also a part-time teacher, but we all know how America treats its teachers---low pay and no benefits. So they needed…

Have you ever been on a boat? The wind whips through your hair, the sun shines on your neck, and it seems like all of your woes get left on the dock. That's why boating is such a dang expensive hobby– it's phenomenally pleasant! So if you're a boat enthusiast, it's probable that your boat is not only your fiberglass first-born baby, but also a deep, endless money-pit… which is why boaters always have the best insurance.

We've all heard nightmarish tales of exorbitant health insurance bills. Usually, patients don't come out on top, but in rare cases, regular folks like you and I can stick it to the big man up in the insurance towers. All it takes is a big lawyer voice, a little patience on the phone, and a pair of hefty stones.

It's 2023, who still steals phones? Back in the era when every iPhone 3 could be resold on the black market for an up-charge and even the flip phone Razr's were valuable, it was a lucrative business, but now there are so many security measures to protect phone owners, it's a wonder that thieves are still motivated to sneak their hands into their fellow citizens's pockets.

This customer woke up and decided everyone else should revolve their lives around his happiness. Some people wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and decide to ruin everyone else's day too. In customer service, this kind of entitlement is all too common. Some folks never seem to realize that they are one of 7.8 billion people on the planet. Instead, they think that everyone should wait on them like they're royalty. They lack the ability to put themselves in other people's shoes . The person in…

There was a big shift in the housing market a few years ago, and this couple was right there to witness it happening in their own neighborhood. This couple did everything right while buying a home : they purchased a plot of land, built a home on it, and made sure there was no HOA to control them. But then a certain illness made sure to ruin the early 2020s for all of us, and it had people moving around like crazy. Suddenly, the couple found themselves surrounded by new neighbors. And, as happen…

Traveling while on a prescription can be very stressful. You have to make sure you have enough for the amount of time you are gone, and, of course, you have to remember it! When you forget the prescription, however, it's usually not the end of the world because you can simply call your doctor and have them prescribe you more at a pharmacy near wherever you are. The thing about pharmacies though, at least in the U.S., is that things tend to get messed up often. Sometimes the script just doesn't…
