r/maliciouscompliance | My Roommate wanted ALL the Responsibility...

hey everyone and welcome to story time my name is Jake and today we are gonna be looking at the subreddit our such malicious compliance so sit back relax and enjoy some satisfying stories Catman vs. karen warning of justice about four years ago I decided to go small and got a 29 inch 5th wheel for my three cats and myself and got lucky enough to find a spot in the park that was basically perfect for us pretty much anything I needed was in walking distance or a five-minute drive and my cats were allowed to run around on the provision that they had access to an outdoor litter box that I would maintain in my space and they didn't cause any problems with noise fighting with other cats etc the rent was reasonable and fixed for two years with all utilities included except electric so honestly I was thrilled about a year and a half went by and all seemed well until one evening I returned from work to find a note taped to my door i unfolded it to find that a complaint had been made against my caste - park management and I needed to come into the office and have a talk about some things this was my first note from management in my time there and my only real interaction with them had been the occasional wave as I passed by the office or the monthly rent payment ritual it was already 6:45 so I decided to wait until the next morning in the interest of avoiding further complaints I brought my boys inside for the night and settled into bed around 11:00 p.m. I awoke around quarter past a a.m. to someone pounding on my door it actually loosened the hinge pin on my interior tour handle and I opened it to meet Karen I say this because not only did she truly embody the very essence of Karen hood it was also her name me blurry and barely awake can I help you Karen on what I can only presume is her fifth bottle of cold rude coffee hi Opie I'm Karen the new park manager and we need to have a talk about your cats okay yes she literally said okay like a lot yes I saw young no and I was planning to come by when I got up well the office has been open since 7:00 a.m. so I just thought you were avoiding me well I typically work night so I'm not usually up at 7:00 a.m. oh so you're the roll out of bed around noon tack then this sounded incredibly condescending whether it was meant to or not um usually closer to 10:00 a.m. but I'm awake now let me throw on some people clothes and I'll be right over okay Karen nodded awkwardly probably realizing for the first time how ridiculous she sounded and went back to the office now I am NOT a morning person as due to some medical issues that I won't go into hair I have a bit of a pill ritual that requires food and lots of water or I spent the day in bed or the restroom figuring this wouldn't take too long I popped in a coffee pod while I got dressed and fed the boys then stroll to the office with a cup in hand but no food water or pills in my system as of yet I was about to start thinking you'd gone back to sleep it had been 15 minutes maximum since she had left 20 since she'd awakened me sorry I had to feed my cats and wake up a wee bear I jest you with my mug now what can I do for you I worked in bars for almost two decades so I'm putting on my diplomatic conflict resolution hat to start with well your cats are the issue that we're here to discuss we've had some complaints that they've been harassing some of the other guests smaller animals and people have said they've seen animals pooping underneath your trailer which is a violation of this space rental agreement Wow I'm sorry to hear that they're attacking other animals I didn't think they were aggressive like that as for the poop doe I have an amending to my rental agreement that allows me to have an outdoor litter box I can show it to you if you'd like no I know about your agreement she air quotes unnecessarily but that's up in about six months so I think it's time we renegotiate the terms so basically we're talking about changes that need to be made by the time this lease is up and you're being a champ and giving me a six months heads-up cool this is not what she was trying to do but again diplomacy um yes that's the gist of it 15 minutes and several days later I walked out of the office with a horrible stomachache and a few pieces of important information number one an outdoor litter box would be permitted as long as it was enclosed and not under my trailer number two permanent or free-standing enclosures are not allowed this was meant to apply to sheds and the like but Karen decided to use this to make my outdoor cat box in impossibility number three my cats would be permitted outside as long as they were in an enclosed area and or on a leash and number four pet fences over three feet high were not permitted and must be removed when not in use my newfound knowledge in writing I set out to find a solution to the problem but I kept running into one thing or another that would break the rules so after about a week of frustration I decided to ask for a copy of my upcoming lease renewal as I like to adhere to the letter of the law Karen gleefully printed it up and signed it in front of me as apparently she'd already drafted it and was expecting to deliver it to me well before the end of my current lease I didn't even look at it until I got back to my place but then Q malicious compliance the newly said essentially what I thought it would basically that if I could find a way to adhere to all these rules simultaneously there wouldn't be a problem but the tiniest infraction would result in a park fine I began looking at the technical definitions of the word used in the lease and finally discovered something that worked in my favor freestanding not supported by another structure this was it my ace in the hole I now had an idea I was still making payments on the trailer and one of the stipulations of the finance agreement was that I maintained full coverage insurance on it until it was paid off that men that I could potentially report any damage to any part of the trailer inside and out to my insurance company and they would cover it my door owning a standard 16 by 8 vinyl awning was about 20 years old and badly in need of replacement so I called around and found a place that does awning repair and installation as well as solarium design I met with the consultant Mick on Friday afternoon and told him exactly what I needed and why he smirked and asked for my insurance information then he would call me the following Monday Monday rolls around and my boys have been inside all weekend so we're all going a bit crazy being cooped up together for so long at a time and I was awake at 9:00 a.m. when the phone rang I ran to it gleefully expecting to find mink on the other end of the line but instead I found a representative from my insurance company who was calling to inform me that my repairs have been covered and my deductible was something like four hundred and thirty dollars not ideal but given the scope of what was about to happen I didn't mind too much I went to the office and told Karen's husband that I was having my Ordnung repaired and was just waiting for an installer to call me fast-forward 10 days Karen and Dave Karen's husband went out of town for the weekend so while they were gone Mick and his crew spent nine hours over two days putting up an absolutely gorgeous screened outdoor dining enclosure with a snap-on canvas outer shell and the whole thing was supported by the awning bracket and cleverly designed series of poles that made absolutely certain that there was no way it could be interpreted as freestanding or permanent and since it was definitely not offense and completely enclosed my outdoor litter box I had complied with the letter of the law now I prefer to err on the side of caution so I also implemented a contingency plan I have a particularly crafty friend who enjoys a challenge and was very much in the spirit of what I was trying to do so he helped me build a 10 by 7 interior wooden enclosure that used the poles for the side screen wall of the awning extension as its primary support so again not freestanding we also isolated a path between the RV door and the enclosure door as well as blocking off the undercarriage to help Corral the calves Sunday evening Karen comes home to find this classy brobdingnagian fumigation 10 attached to my RV and as expected throes effect she comes stomping over but can't find the door flap it wasn't marked if I wanted her to know or if she bothered to ask I probably would have told her but she didn't give me the chance so she walks back to her car drives over and starts honking her horn until I come out mind you I'm sitting about 15 feet from her inside the enclosure calmly smoking a cigarette and petting one of my cats I let the honking go on for about 30 seconds as predicted she started screaming at me about how this clearly was a violation of the lease but I spent the next 15 minutes showing her exactly how it was not in any way and since the lease made no distinction as to what I could do but focused rather on what I could not do size restrictions etc there was no language indicating that I had done anything wrong Karen then tried to claim that the lease agreement was six months out and could still be changed at which point I pulled out the signed copy she gave me and showed her that I had signed and dated her the day she gave it to me she then tried to argue that I had forged her signature and created the document myself I then informed her that I had sent a copy of the document to my insurance company a few weeks prior and we were both in the office under the surveillance cameras when she printed signed and handed it to me they still have one of those old four-panel black-and-white surveillance systems and the monitor is on the counter in the office right underneath the camera covering the entire office I can't remember what happened next exactly but I do know that Karen tried to remove the non-load-bearing screen wall that isolated the door pathway and ended up getting stuck in the screen breaking the frame falling over and threatening me with a lawsuit at which point my neighbor came over and stated loudly through the enclosure that it wasn't soundproof and he'd heard everything that happened Bob I could kiss you if you weren't so weird and gross in the end I got to keep my enclosure and several of the people in the park noticed my solution and did the same as quickly as possible within the next few months I became something of a hero to some of the longtime residents of the park because apparently I wasn't the only one being harassed I was just the first one to find a solution oh and it turns out the complaint was made by Karen to herself because she wanted to let her small dog run around but couldn't stop him from chasing cats that was two and a half years ago and I'm still in the same spot Karen and her husband on the other hand were found to be too volatile to manage the park and were relocated by the same owner to a 24-hour storage warehouse outside of town where they provide on-site security I still see them every so often when they come to get propane because it's cheaper here even though they don't get the park resident discount anymore I have a bit of a wood shop set up in my new space outside and now I have six cats a wife and a stepdaughter who all love their indoor / outdoor porch I really want to see a picture of this because it's quite hard to picture what exactly I look like I can kind of get a feel for it but I really want to see a picture if you want all responsibility I'll gladly comply some five years ago I lived together with a couple the guy a friend of mine had been living there for several years while I only moved in two years ago and his girlfriend moved in a year ago both his girlfriend and I paid rent to him and he forwarded to the landlord's due to some heavy storms part of the building had suffered damages mainly my room in the kitchen while the kitchen was being renovated the landlord Koran as it was unusable for almost two months obviously we all shared in these deductions after the kitchen was refurnished they started working in my bedroom and I had to sleep on the couch and my house Mae said he thought it was only proper that all of us would pay less I didn't agree as they didn't experience any inconvenience but didn't argue too much and eventually shared half of my current I was annoyed but didn't protest not much later I asked for the electricity in water bells as we wanted to see if we could change providers to save some money but every time he said he would send it in a few days or next week because he didn't have access to them at the moment which is BS everything is sent by mail plus saved in your online account after a while I got suspicious and became more insistent even refusing to pay another bill until I saw in it which is within my legal rights where I live until after about six months he sent me a word document with the amounts typed by himself saying this was what I'd asked for I specifically asked for all bills from the past year now I was angry at the same time he and his girlfriend broke up and while we were looking for a new roommate we shared the added expenses of increased rent but when we found a new house May I found out that this landlord had pardoned the girlfriend share and he let me pay extra while he had no increase in rent whatsoever I was so sick and tired of it that I wanted to sit down and confront him about everything but then came the clincher while we were looking for a housemaid he was annoyed with having to rewrite the contract every time and I advised him that he could take up to 2/3 of the contract and supply a room with permission from the landlord we discussed it at length and eventually went to the bank to observe the contract after which I found out the new contract didn't include me at all he was now the sole tenant and I was his sub tenant at this point I was already tagged and when we finally had agreed to sit down and talk he stood me up twice without letting me know I was furious so I thought hey you want to be the sole tenant with all the responsibilities have a tear I started looking for a new apartment found it within a week and moved out without him knowing one day later we finally sat down at the third try and I explained all my grievances for which he couldn't find an excuse he said we should put it all behind us and move on with a clean slate so I looked at him and said oh no we're not moving on I moved out I'm just here to pick up one more box I'm done and I walked out leaving him behind without a tenon three months of unpaid bills he didn't bother to send me and a half painted room filled with all the garbage I was gonna throw out and holes from where the shelves horn it might make me look like a vindictive douche but I did give him fair warning for several months and tried to play fair despite his ill intentioned acts but I enjoyed it so much especially because everything I did was within the legal bounds he chose he blocked me on Facebook later that is someone you do not want to live with if they don't show you the bills then they are just messing you over in some way or another I would be stray out of there that malicious compliance was really good hey everyone I hope you all had a really good day and that you enjoyed that video if you want to check out some of the
