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,…

One customer had a hard time getting their internet provider to understand them. When they said they were moving off the grid , they weren't kidding! Rural life is appealing to many people because of that amazing peace and quiet you find while living in nature. Isolated from other houses, cars, and buildings, you can really appreciate the quietude. Some people even love to live really deep out in nature . In places like Alaska or other very rural locales, it's common that some folks won't have…

The long game of revenge requires a lot of patience, so unless you are truly up for it, don't bother undertaking such a commitment. I'd expect you would have some pretty high expectations when moving into a house. Everything is always pink, rosy, shiny and new, before it turns grey, bitter, old and then black. You want the place to be nice, the street to be quiet, the neighbors to be invisible. Is that so much to ask, when paying the amount you need in order to pay for an actual house nowadays?…

When faced with an arduous situation, do you cave and give in to an easy solution, or do you stand up, tough as nails, and return fire? The arduous situation in question, from OP's point of view, is that she was about to get caught stealing all the other roommates' stuff. And she had a total meltdown. But let's start from the beginning. As this story is told by u/CharmingUniversity98's point of view, we shall start there. Many years ago, back when OP was in college, they lived with 4 roommates.…

No one ever said moving was easy, and this customer seems determined to make it as hard as possible. That's no problem for her, because she's not doing the heavy lifting — a group of movers are. U/_korvan_ shared this great story about the time they just wanted to do their job and go home, but were stymied by a customer. Being a mover is a physically demanding job each and every day. These folks work hours each day to take people's boxes and furniture from their old house to their brand new liv…

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…

Food is a topic people always bicker over. Parents, siblings, roommates… the closest depiction of reality I can think of at the moment in order to give a proper example of what I mean is Joey, from 'Friends'. He doesn't share food, and most people wouldn't appreciate having their own scrumptious morsels being taken out of the fridge and plopped into somebody else's mouth, either. Especially if that somebody didn't ask for permission. u/BotsAnonymous expressed his disdain for their vegetarian ro…

After moving in, this dude just wanted to take a quick break before they kept unpacking. If you've ever moved, you know what a massive task it is. You have to box up everything you own into what feels like one thousand boxes. Then, you have to transport all your belongings, or entrust a moving company to do it for you, and hope your precious items arrive intact. And finally, you then have to unpack all your stuff , and decorate your new living space. The OP of this story, u/cbing1010101, was in…

After moving to a new country, this dude kept getting phone calls from random callers . These days, most of us get a few random calls a day, but our phone often lets us know they're robo calls. That way, we don't have to answer them and talk to a robot or someone trying to steal our life savings. However, this person had a more complex situation on their hands. They got a new phone number , but the previous person who'd had that number didn't bother to tell his clients about the number change.…

Man worries about getting evicted, even though he gave notice to his landlord.

This company seemed generous at first, but then they refused to pay for their employee's moving costs . That came as quite the surprise to u/nascentia and their wife. The OP's wife believed the company she worked at was going to pay for her to move, and in the contract, it seemed pretty inclusive. The company assured her they'd pay for all the closing costs and fees for both their old place and their new one, since they were moving to a new city . So imagine the OP's surprise when the company d…

Getting back at scheming roommates was this person's goal, and they truly succeeded! Finding the right roommate is key. If you end up not getting along with them, like this person did, you're just out of luck. Unless, like this person also did, you find a way to get out of the agreement. U/Nymyane_Aqua shared their story to r/ MaliciousCompliance . In their story, the OP writes that their roommates had ganged up to try and get them to leave the house they all shared. Why? So that one of the roo…

At this moving company , the boss isn't going to let his employees get taken advantage of. Most rules are there because of previous situations that necessitated them, as this boss proved to his employee. User u/_korvan_ shared a story from their youth, some 30 years ago, when they took a job as a mover at age 16. While there, they had to deal with their fair share of entitled people . The OP shared that they and their boss showed up to one house that had a double door at the front of the house…

Gravity strikes again.
