r/Maliciouscompliance Karen Gets Instant Karma!

welcome to r slash malicious compliance where a scummy landlord gets screwed out of a hundred thousand dollars our next reddit post is from zard queen in college i had a randomly assigned roommate that i did not get along with at all our personalities were just on two opposite ends of the personality spectrum and we clashed the only things we had in common were that we went to the same college and lived in the same apartment that's it anyways it was a nightmare living situation the apartment had four rooms and two bathrooms she and i shared the same bathroom as our rooms were right next to each other we had two roommates on the other half of the apartment that we both got along with after over eight months of just pure passive aggressiveness towards each other like i would put sticky notes on her day's old dirty dishes and she would put my wet laundry on the floor she decided to report me to the apartment management for bullying her honestly we were doing it to each other however the apartment management took pity on her because i was tall and athletic and she was six inches shorter than me and very thin she claimed i physically intimidated her and she was scared to live with me she did this because she wanted to move to a new apartment without paying a 500 fee but instead the apartment issued a written warning the warning stated that we were not to touch any of each other's personal belongings without written permission the first infraction was a 250 dollar fine the second infraction was a 500 fine and a third infraction would result in eviction i was so scared walking out of the office because i couldn't afford those fines and she had the biggest smile on her face i knew that she would immediately report me i went back to the apartment and she left for work i was mortified then i realized that she made a huge mistake everything communal in the apartment belonged to me and she was a super moocher i told my other roommates what had happened and they were shocked i asked if i could use their bathroom temporarily and they said of course so i immediately emptied out everything that was mine in our shared bathroom shower curtain toilet paper rug towels and soap i grabbed my magnetic white board and listed out everything in the kitchen that belonged to me plates cups mugs pots pans silverware coffee maker toaster pot holder towels i literally listed every single item and i said that she wasn't allowed to use any of it without my written permission no text messages allowed i also drew some eyes to remind her that everyone was watching i popped that white board on the fridge and went in my room to do some homework later she came home from work and had a meltdown she screamed not any words just a blood curdling scream in the following couple of days her father came to the apartment to threaten me that they were getting a lawyer lol she bought her first roll of toilet paper and plastic shower curtain but it was too much for her to handle she went back to the main office to report my bullying once again and was instead told that she could either deal with it or pay 500 bucks to move to a new apartment she moved out seven days after the warning was issued our next reddit post is from gibberish so i'm a college student and i rent a room from a landlord and live in a house with multiple other students the contract for my room clearly says that i have to fix all the damages to my room that i've caused at my cost and that all the bigger issues in the house will be covered by the landlord well one day i noticed that my sink is kind of clogged and it's making a weird noise he says that it's probably my own fault and that i should get a plunger to fix the problem a little background info about the house that i live in all the sinks at the top level of the house connect to the same pipe and everyone heard the same noise so the chance of it being my fault would be almost zero but since i had to fix the problem on my own i tried my best however as you might have guessed i'm not really good at this since it's not my job i even had my dad check it since he knows more about this stuff than i do and he said the pipe is clogged somewhere but doesn't know exactly how far down the pipe so i tried my best to fix the problem myself but since it's clearly a bigger issue that isn't my fault i contacted my landlord once again he still refuses to come and fix the clogged sink even after me clearly stating that everyone is hearing the noise in the house and tells me to solve my own problems like an adult would well since i'm legally not an adult yet and having tried my best me and the other residents in the house had decided to give up trying to fix the issue and just let it be a month later one person in the house had water coming out of her sink because it was completely clogged and within days everyone was having the same issue and since now everyone was complaining to the landlord he had to fix the problem since it was a bigger problem within the house that everyone was experiencing not only did he have to fix the clogged pipe of all the sinks but he also had to fix the water damage that we had in our rooms because the water would just come out of the sink when he finally decided to hire someone to fix the problem the costs were already up to a hundred thousand dollars and will probably be even more since some of the other people living within the house have sued the landlord for not agreeing to the contract and for neglect of his basic duties as landlord he even called us and screamed at us why didn't you mention the problem earlier to which i replied that i tried to solve the problem as an adult by informing my landlord who was supposed to fix this but that clearly didn't help this story should serve as a good reminder always always communicate with your landlord over email maintain your paper trail and cover your own butt our next reddit post is from movum years ago i saw a big box retailer had a really nice tv on special on their website for about 300 off the in-store price their store app says they have the tv in stock so i head to the store and ask their electronic supervisor if they would price match the website he says no if i want this tv right now i'll have to pay full price for it i know that when a website's in-store pickup order comes in a guy comes out from the back and picks an item off the shelf to fill the order so i pull out the phone and order the tv for in-store pickup sure enough two minutes later a guy comes out from the back and picks up one of the tvs that we're standing in front of and cards it to the back three minutes after that i get an email saying it's ready for pickup i head to the desk get my tv and head out our next reddit post is from ognage i was an english teacher in moscow at the beginning of the school year i asked for a week of time off around the holidays so i could travel some i got denied so the week it came around i was pleased that most of my classes had been canceled because the students had the same idea i had and were all going on vacation i got an email from the administration stating that i was to cover classes for another teacher who was taking vacation for the week i had asked for so i was already a bit upset that they'd approved him but not me especially since i'd asked for it like five months ago anyway i accept the hand that was dealt and started preparing the lessons the day of the first class i leave home a few hours early so that i had plenty of time to make sure i could find the place it was at a location i'd never been and that i had all the necessary equipment i needed to read the lessons it was pretty easy to find but when i ring the bell there was no answer i had some time so i went off to get a snack i came back to the school about 30 minutes early and rang the bell again no answer i tried calling the school administrator no answer i tried calling the administrator who assigned the classes no answer for over an hour i ring the doorbell and called multiple times to no avail my contract stated that i had to wait 30 minutes for students to show up before i could leave so at the 30 minute mark i sent a text to all the parties that read something along the lines of i was here on time i waited a half hour after the scheduled time but nobody answered the door i'm going back home it'll take me 20 minutes to get to the metro if you call me before i board i'll turn around and come back when i got home i got a call where the hell are you at home you have a class i'm aware i was there and nobody answered the door i called and nobody answered i also left a text texting is not an approved form of communication now this was before i had a phone with a data plan so text was the only way i could message someone they tried docking my pay for this but when i told the owner what had happened and showed him my call logs and the text i left he made sure that didn't happen fast forward a few months i'd been having a lot of issues with the administration so i'd become an expert on the finer details of the contract one of those details was that the administration couldn't assign a class with less than 72 hours notice so when they called on saturday to give me a class for monday i told them no again they tried to dock my pay the owner cited me and told me i was right my favorite part though was receiving a text that said that i was to teach a class on a given day they made special mention of the 72-hour rule i ignored the text when the time for class came around i got another call where the hell are you at home you have a class no i don't i sent you a text i have it saved texting is not an approved form of communication down in the comments we have this story from kd i worked as an english teacher in moscow because i really needed my job i would do much more than my contract stipulated to please my boss and ensure my position was secure i once got called into the office to discuss my tardiness school started at 9am and i was consistently arriving 5-10 minutes late one week due to very bad traffic on the roads in winter when i was called into the office my boss tried to use my pay as leverage she asked me this is a simple matter are you following the contract or not i boldly replied no i don't i was hired for one class but i teach too because you haven't hired a second teacher i take half hour lunches when it states that i can take an hour break additionally there's no head teacher and i've been meeting with parents on my time without complaints she didn't say a word after that our next reddit post is from nutty gooner okay this happened about 20 years ago when i was 17 and working in a major uk supermarket in a rather affluent london suburb this was my first proper weekend job i used to work in a bakery and it was the best section to work in a supermarket my job was to make sure that bread and fresh cakes were well stocked and presented and to test the odd doughnut for quality control purposes of course and to make sure that there are fresh items available before we ran out slicing fresh bread and making sure that rolls were stocked and tongs were available one busy saturday i was doing a quick inventory count and when it came to the individual roles i saw a middle-aged lady in a large fur coat and luscious red fingernails i didn't pay much attention to her until i saw her with a crusty roll in her manicured and bejeweled hand gave it a squeeze poke her thumb through the crust and threw it back in the basket she did it again and when she reached in to try a third one i piped up excuse me ma'am would you mind using the tongs provided please she ignored me and grabbed a third roll and broke the crust so a little louder i said ma'am please use the tongs provided she heard me that time and glared at me and said i beg your pardon ma'am please don't grab the rolls please use the tongs in the basket are you saying that my hands are dirty she then raised her voice while waving her embellished hand at me wiggling her fingers so they sparkled as they moved are you suggesting that this is filthy well knowing that folks tend not to wash their hands before using trolleys and baskets without blinking or thinking i said yes they are please use the tongs the inevitable happened i want to speak to your manager at once you should learn to respect your elders and betters i'll have your job for this insolence so i called for the bakery manager to come on down bearing in mind this was a busy saturday and he was in his whites and wanted to know what the problem was this woman went into a sob story about how she was testing the roles for freshness and i was being rude to her telling her how her hands were filthy a few crocodile tears here and there how she's never been so insulted in a stern voice my manager turned to me and said did you say this to her now i was starting to think i did something wrong and a bit nervous i replied yeah i asked her to use the tongs she ignored me so i asked her again my manager said okay he turned to the woman said that he'll be back shortly he needed to do something and get some paperwork while my manager was out of earshot the woman crowed see what happens when you don't know your place i said that i would have your job for this my manager did a quick count of the rolls muttered 224 loudly and went to the back room he then emerged with an industrial sized black bin liner he then proceeded to empty eight large baskets of rolls into the bin liner and a label for 224 individual granary rolls tied up the bag handed it to her and said here you are madam they're all yours i beg your pardon the rolls madam they're all yours you openly admitted to contaminating our stock you ignored a member of the staff when she asked you to repeatedly use the tongs and you've wasted my time so you're paying for the stock you've damaged good day what am i supposed to do with all these bloody rolls i only wanted two with a dazzling customer service smile my manager chirped not my concern madam security will escort you to the tills and make sure they're paid for enjoy your weekend he then turned on his heels and went back upstairs to the bakery the woman looked at me then the huge bag absolutely aghast so i did the only thing i could do grab a random loaf of bread take it to the bread slicer and laugh in the back room i saw her almost every week afterwards always using the tongs we wouldn't get away with that now but he was easily my favorite manager in all my years of working it sounds like this malicious compliance is going to cost that karen a lot of dough that was r slash malicious compliance and
