r/maliciouscompliance | Read the HARDEST part of the Play? If you want Teacher...

hello everybody hope you're all doing well my name is steven and this is the story time channel today we have some malicious compliance stories and our first story of the day is by beck andrews want me to read the most extensive role of the play in class sure thing i was recently reminded of one of my greatest acts of malicious compliance a two for one from my high school days for some context i absolutely hated reading out loud in class growing up i had no issues with reading or reading comprehension in fact i was one of those kids who was reading on a college level in middle school sixth to eighth year but i had issues when reading out loud still do in fact i didn't know it at the time but i grew up with adhd one of the things about my adhd is my brain has a tendency to work faster than my mouth so i end up tripping over words when i read out loud that on top of general social anxiety made reading out loud heck for me most teachers have a tendency to leave me be since i was a good student but not my 10th grade literature teacher oh no for some reason she had a bug in her bonnet when it came to me she wasn't a bad teacher but she had a habit of trying to make me come out of my shell and i hated it i've mostly outgrown my social anxiety these days but back then it was pretty bad on to the malicious compliance at some point in the year we studied the shakespearean play julius caesar as a part of that unit she would take volunteers to read for the different parts if you didn't volunteer she would assign you apart the first part of my malicious compliance was simple if i had a volunteer to read a part i would find the smallest part possible to read hello plebian number one i played by her rules and it worked for a bit however she was still intent on yanking me out of my perfectly comfy introverted shell one day she decided she'd had enough of my loophole as i sat there having scouted out the smallest part possible and ready to volunteer when we got down the list of characters to it she threw me for an absolute loop by assigning me the part of brutus right off the bat crap that mother talks a lot probably the biggest part in that play my stomach turned at the thought of stumbling through his lines but a light bulb went off in my head you see this teacher also had a huge thing for us reading the parts with appropriate emotion this this was my new loophole we started reading and i read for brutus in a way that would make any drama teacher cry monotone lifeless no emotion if i have to suffer through reading it you have to suffer through listening to it we got maybe a fourth of the way through the scene before she gave in and had one of the more extroverted kids read the part instead i went back to life as plebian number one and all was right in the world again so let me ask you not necessarily for this teacher specifically but do you think it's a good thing that teachers try and get people out of an introverted shell and doing more extroverted activities or speaking amongst their peers more or do you think teachers should let sleeping dogs lie and let people not talk as much if they prefer remaining a bit more introverted in activities let me know your thoughts in the comments down below our next stories by sean coats did it now many many years ago i worked at a company in canada that ran some financial services the owner was the kind of guy who drove race cars on weekends and on weekdays would come into the programmer's room to complain that our fingers weren't typing fast enough on a particularly panicky day one of the web servers in the pool that served our app became unresponsive we had these servers hosted in a managed rack at a hosting provider off-site after several hours of trying to bring it back our hosting partner admitted defeat and declared that they couldn't revive web 02 it had a hardware failure of some sort we only had a few servers back then and they were named according to the roles in our infrastructure web01 webo2 chrono1 db03 etc traffic and backlogs started piling up with web 02 out of the cluster despite our efforts to mitigate the laws which we consider temporary our head of it was on the phone with our hosting provider trying to come up with a plan to replace the server this was before cloud was a thing and each of our resources was a physically present piece of hardware the agreed-upon solution was replace webo2 with a new box which they were rushing into the place from the reserve of hardware on site by this point the race car driving finger typing speed complaining owner of the company was absolutely losing it it seemed like he was screaming at anyone and everyone who dared make eye contact even if they had truly nothing to do with the server failure or its replacement our teams worked together to get the new box up and running in a record time and were well into configuring the operating system and necessary software when they realized that no one wanted to go out on a limb and give the new machine a name president screamy was very particular about these names for some reason and this had been the target of previous rage fests so neither the hosting lead nor our internal soldiers wanted to make a decision that they knew could be deemed wrong and end up the target of even more yelling so they agreed that the hosting provider would call the ceo and ask him what he'd like to name the box but before that call could be made the ceo called our hosting provider to tear them up he was assured that the box was almost ready and that the only remaining thing was whether to name it webo2 to replace the previous box or to give it a whole new name like webo6 rageman did not like this at all and despite being at the other end of the office floor from his office we could all hear him lay fully into the otherwise innocent phone receiver on the other end i just need that box up now fix it i don't care what you call it it just needs to be live do it now and that friends is how we ended up with a web pool of servers named webo1 web03 web04 web05 and the new server do it now it also served well as a cautionary tale for new hires who happened to notice to be fair if i came into a situation like that and i looked through all the server names and it was web03 web01 whatnot and then i got to the bottom of the list and it was just called do it now i would probably think something pretty funny happened and not something that was so stress-filled this next story is by kevsters hill yes i can take a look hope this makes someone smile working in a car service department i had a regular customer come in a bit flustered and say to me can you have a quick look at my car i replied of course then stood up looked out of the window at his car and said it's very nice and sat back down luckily for me we had a great professional relationship and he just laughed and said i asked for that didn't i we did end up taking his car into the workshop and fixing the minor issue he came in about but that was a rare moment where i could do something some of my colleagues only daydream about honestly if i went to a workshop place and i had a little experience like that i'd probably really appreciate that unless of course i was in a rush and i just wasn't in a good mood regardless but having some levity in moments like that is always something that you can cherish our next stories by justin one was one here cozy up to the fire bear with me some of the details i set up won't seem relevant until the end of the story but almost everything i say will be involved so i lived in an apartment in maine that was fully furnished heat water and electricity included in rent a fireplace that worked but the heating that was included in the rent was a gas-powered heater in the basement i lived alone so i felt the need for some companionship but instead of getting a normal pet like a dog or cat for some reason i decided to go up bamboo shark the setup for the shark was nearly 2 grand and i felt like it was a good choice because that shark acted like a dog and a cat all at the same time it was playful and lazy and had a wonderful personality especially for just some fish i will admit i got a little more attached to a fish than normal people would care to admit i love him i named him orion because three of his spots were actually kind of shaped like stars if you used a lot of imagination the name orion slowly turned into ojo little brother who would visit wouldn't be able to pronounce orion so that's what it became anyway for the first part of the year the apartment was great and a godsend because it was relatively cheap and it was hard to find an apartment that would pay your electricity and heating and the landlord was quite nice before my lease was up however the apartment was sold to a different owner the new owner was not as pleasant as the previous and we would often have issues that would pop up that in my mind were not big deals such as he would walk by my window he would say just passing by which i don't think is true because you'd have to get onto the porch and actually peer into my window and see that i have dishes to do so in his mind the apartment was a complete wreck and he has the right to kick me out i double checked my lease with a realtor friend of mine and in no spot in the lease does it have any mention of keeping the apartment clean until move out day then they could charge me 400 if the apartment was messy i would always clean up though because i'm not an animal and like to have things relatively clean what one big issue was that i had along with other tenants is that we would pay rent and he would not pay for the gas company to keep our heat on after a couple of times of this in a main winter things were getting rather cold and other tenants were starting to complain oh luckily he turned the heat back on after i sent him an email stating that all the tenants have the same problem being that we are in the same building as each other and we need heat to stay alive and we're not afraid to press charges i admit the letter i sent was overkill and he called me out on it that we could just buy our own gas but we had already bought our gas through the rent unfortunately however the following months he did not pay the gas bill again and i had awoken to my apartment freezing and instantly thought about orion being cold so i ran over to make sure the heating on his tank was still working it was not or the landlord also cut electricity so orion sadly passed away this made me furious and somewhat depressed and i demanded to be reimbursed for orion this conversation was on the phone and my landlord chuckled on that sure i can deduct it for my next rent payment he was thinking that orion was a goldfish so he owed me five cents i explained to him no he is not five cents and i also want to be reimbursed for all of his supplies being that i no longer need them because he killed my fish he said fine just write a check for the remainder of the rent so i sent him a bill for a thousand dollars the bill made him mad and he said that he would not pay for gas without my rent check i told him that we were all caught up and other tenants need their heating so you need to pay the gas for what they pay for as well as being that the heater heats all the apartments he hung up and i didn't hear from him for two weeks until we started the new month without heat again and i called him up and said that we need our heat he said i don't care what you guys do you are the third tenant to call me today i'm on vacation down in florida so there's nothing i can do i made a comment on that what do you expect us to do burn all of our furniture trying to stay warm he laughed at me again and said if that's what you want to do i'm completely fine with it it will just help you not leave so much crap in the apartment when i kick you out next month when i get back something clicked he didn't realize when he bought the apartment he was buying all my furniture that was furnished by the previous owner so i pulled out a recorder and told him i'm recording what you say next can you please repeat that you told me it was fine to burn my furniture to keep warm the landlord said yeah but i'm not reimbursing you up for any of the furniture if that's what you want to do that's what you can do so i started burning my furniture and in my apartment the fireplace also heats up the rest of the apartments so i went to one other tenant and asked him if he was moving next month and he was and i told him my evil plan and how we were heeding ourselves this month he was happy with the plan and donated all of his furniture as well which were the landlords the landlord had come back and i asked for him to come over so we may talk and settle things before i leave he came in and saw that my apartment was completely emptied he laughed and made a comment about how it must have been a cold one last month i said yeah luckily i had all your stuff here to keep me warm at night he paused and looked at me and questioned what do you mean my stuff then i ask didn't you realize that all of the apartments come fully furnished he seemed to be taken by surprise and was stammering and said that i would have to replace all the furniture for the next tenants don't you remember you told me to burn all of the furniture not my furniture he exclaimed yours were the only one in the apartments but i also got some donations from other tenants i laughed both he and i went out of the apartment meeting my car and him into his and the last thing he said to me is that i'm going to have to pay him back for this i had gotten a bill in the mail later on and read it oh he was charging me for all the furniture even the other apartment's furniture here's the total 800 table times eighty dollar chair times eight two hundred dollar end table times four forty dollar bar stool times ten seven hundred dollar couch times one twenty thousand dollars for fire damages four hundred dollars cleaning and here's my favorite bill reimbursement for fraudulent death of pet claims four thousand dollars quick math twenty seven thousand five hundred eighty dollars obviously we went to court over this when i asked if i felt these charges were fair i said no or he told me to do it the landlord chuckled i say i have a recording your honor the judge says let's hear it i played it the judge didn't seem too impressed crap judge stay silent for a minute while re-reading the bill what's this fraudulent death of pet claim my landlord answered says that i owed him money because his dumb fish died because it's too cold was there a fish says the judge landlord says yeah but there was no way it was that expensive of a fish the judge says it's not the price of the fish that concerns me what concerns me is that your tenants are paying for services that they are not receiving and thus their way of life is suffering to a point that this man lost a pet and felt the need to burn all of the furniture to stay warm it's very concerning to me that there was a fish that died and there was a recording of you laughing it off that they should burn their furniture i am sure you are suing them for following your advice the recording alone wouldn't have helped the tenant but the fact that you put the fish's death on your own bill to be reimbursed for it shows me that you are in the wrong what's the fire damage the landlord says before the tenant had used the fireplace the fireplace was clean and now it needs to be cleaned out of the soot landlord was also planning on replacing the fireplace completely but didn't say it the judge said so that's a part of the cleaning tenant owes landlord 400 for cleaning and that's it case closed what a shame here is at the very end op still basically ended up getting screwed all that illegal mistreatment and they end up owing the landlord 400 at the very end seems like a ridiculous misstep from the judge to me and our final story of the day is by activetal 6120 fit the coffee machine to the radiator pipe consider it done i took employment at a soon to be opened cafe the owner was the type that thought they knew everything about the catering industry even though they'd worked in hr for 20 years the coffee machine was delivered and i was given the task of arranging the installation for a start the layout of the place was terrible no wash sink installed behind the counter the owner really cheaped out on the plumbing the owner assured me that there was sufficient plumbing to the cold water piping and pointed out the pipe something was off and i maintained that the piping was actually part of the radiator system i was patronizingly told that i wasn't a plumber and i should just do as instructed the machine was installed in a fashion straight off of said pipe the machine was filled and excitedly the owner insisted that i start making complimentary coffees for his friends dutifully i made around 50 cups of coffee to friends and loved ones of the owner when clean down time came i noticed the water was running a dark brown this was unnoticed before as hey coffee's brown i emptied the entire pressure from the system and it still wasn't getting any clearer long story short plumber was called my suspicions were confirmed and the owner had given 50 cups of a radiator water coffee to his nearest and dearest the machine had to be stripped to get the sediment out and the central heating system needed to be re-pressurized nah man trust me that's the water pipe not the radiator pipe you don't know what you're doing just do it they don't got anybody else to blame i guess the coffee still wasn't too bad despite it being radiator water because it doesn't seem like anybody noticeably complained i guess it just goes to show that as long as you like coffee it's pretty hard to mess it up i just think that it would be pretty cursed to find out after the fact that i had drunk radiator water coffee cause god knows what could have ended up in that radiator water but with that being said
