'I walked down to the office later that day with the biggest grin on my face': Teacher complies with school's annoying new rules, administration is caught off guard

This principal should have known better than to test the patience of this school teacher! Public school teachers already have so much on their plates, but this teacher's situation sounds especially grim. As u/Middle_Pound_822 shared to r/MaliciousCompliance, their school is currently plagued by an “overwhelming sewage smell.” It's so bad that lots of the teachers have moved their classrooms into the hallway . That resulted in the ire of the school supervisor , who responded with a petty email (…

Faked proof that I had a flat tire so that the lazy people in my group project would have to do the presentation themselves therefore likely will fail

'I got stuck with possibly the worst 3 people to be in a [group] project': One student's tire-less pursuit of petty revenge

No one likes group projects, especially not the person pulling the weight of the entire presentation . One unfortunate Redditor, u/grapeicecreamfloat, got stuck in that situation, but luckily they were able to enact some satisfying petty revenge! As they shared to r/pettyrevenge, this student got stuck with slackers in a project that was a big percentage of the overall grade. The OP ended up doing so much of the work, and the professor wouldn't help the OP improve the group's dynamic, saying th…

‘Fine, I’ll Play the System’ : Man Commutes 175 Miles per Day to Work, Company Refuses to Reimburse Him for Transit, Leading to Malicious Compliance

‘Fine, I’ll Play the System’ : Man Commutes 175 Miles per Day to Work, Company Refuses to Reimburse Him for Transit, Leading to Malicious Compliance

Committing to a 6+ hour commute to work every day is a superpower that most of us cannot claim to have. I certainly wouldn't be willing to do that under any circumstance. This Redditer told his impressive tale of malicious compliance, where he beat the system that was designed to fail, after asking his company to reimburse his travel costs. At the time he was living in San Diego, working in Downtown Los Angeles (that's a 175-mile per day commute). He was in the middle of studying for an exam th…

Professor says research paper isn't long enough, so student gets published to history journal

Professor says research paper isn't long enough, so student gets one published to a history journal

There are times in our lives when we face the challenge of someone who holds authority over us. This challenge may not be totally fair — or even sensical — but it necessitates a response all the same. We then have a choice at that point, do we rise to the challenge? Or find another path? This student decided to rise to their professor's challenge when they were told that their paper wasn't long enough, despite being within the required length range. When the time for the next paper rolled aroun…

There's always a higher power that we need to call to, no matter who we are: Such as a king—who holds supreme executive power because some watery tart threw a sword at him. This was a lesson that this professor was about to learn when they decided to
