r/Maliciouscompliance Teacher: ARE YOU LISTENING? Student: I'm Deaf

welcome to r malicious compliance where a deaf student has a fight with a music teacher our next reddit post is from not that gear so this happened a couple of years ago when i was in year seven and for our international audience that's a grade for 11 year olds one important thing to note with me is that i'm profoundly deaf in both ears and i can't hear a single thing without the use of my cochlear implants however i can lip read pretty accurately so i'm not completely lost without them another thing to note is that my cochlear implants run on batteries and they need to be replaced every two days most of my teachers were pretty understanding about this and they would often go out of their way to make sure that i could clearly hear what they were saying for example they would seat me towards the front of the class stand directly in front of me when addressing the whole class etc except i had this one teacher who was a hard ass about it she also happened to be a music teacher also this is probably the worst combo for me because music is my weakest subject for obvious reasons so i've got a double period which is about 1 hour and 30 minutes long anyway so we start the lesson and pretty much two minutes after we sit down the batteries in my cochlear implants had run flat and so i had to change them however my bag which had my batteries in it was in the next classroom over so i raised my hand like an obedient little boy to ask if i could go and grab my batteries at this point i could still lip read and understand what the teacher was saying but i would much rather be able to hear lol anyways she pretty much ignores the fact that my hand is up and after a couple of minutes i pretty much get the hint that she doesn't want to answer my question i thought whatever i can still lip read and understand most of what she's saying so mrs l basically asked the whole class to go on their computers listen to an audio file that she sent us via email and then used that as inspiration to digitally create our own piece of music she also wanted us to show it to the class at the end of the lesson now because i didn't want to get into trouble i raised my hand again to try to ask if i could get the batteries from my bag but again she ignored me so i'm like huh i don't even like music anyway so no big deal as a result i pretty much sit in front of my computer screen doing nothing because i can't hear the audiophile or make any somewhat decent piece of music remember this is a double period so it's a pretty long wait after about five minutes i get bored and decide to start talking to my friends did i mention that i can lip read and basically i let them in on the joke and we're all trying our hardest to not laugh too hard pretty soon word gets around the class and now everyone can't wait until the end of the lesson to see what mrs l is going to do the end of the lesson rolls around and when it's my turn to play my piece of music i pretty much just sit in silence and the whole class starts laughing but trying to stifle their laughter at the same time can you not hear me i asked you to play your piece of music i sit there in silence and the laughter gets louder are you even listening to me are you trying to disrespect me by not listening to anything i say well honestly just play your piece of music it's not that hard trying to stifle my laughter at this point i say i can't so this is how you treat your teachers get out of my class right now so i leave the classroom and i pretty much wait there until the lesson is over i think she was expecting an apology from me which was never gonna happen because after a couple of minutes she pops her head out the door and barks at me you have absolutely no respect for your teachers meet me at the principal's office at lunchtime so at lunch time i meet her at the principal's office like she said another important thing to point out is that i'm actually pretty friendly with the headmaster mrs l arrives and the conversation goes as follows this guy was giving me attitude during my lesson and he wouldn't listen to me i would like to give him friday after school detention but i feel that he deserves to get a saturday detention the headmaster turns to me so what happened op well my batteries from my cochlear implant died and i raised my hand to ask if i could get the replacement batteries from my bag but she ignored me mrs l looks like she just had an epiphany he asked her well are you sure about this because op doesn't have any prior record about being disobedient mrs l looking a bit flabbergasted said yes i am absolutely sure that he was disrespecting me i said sir you know that i'm deaf and i would never do that on purpose to a teacher well i'm inclined to believe the student here if you have no proof otherwise there's nothing to discuss mrs l then goes extremely red as she realizes her mistake and storms out of the office the headmaster gave me a slight smile before ushering me out of the office as well ever since then mrs l has never ignored me whenever i had my hand up down in the comments we have this post from mad kitkat sounds like my fifth grade teacher who told my blind classmate to describe a picture um well it's flat it's smooth it's slightly cold to the touch um it kind of smells like paper i guess our next reddit post is from rajmi salvi this happened in january and today the malicious compliance was done not by me but by the committee of the society where i live this drama conveniently happened in front of my window in my city the residential complexes are managed by housing societies much like the hoa system in the usa just not as horrible each society has their own committee to manage day-to-day affairs also since my society has much more parking spaces than it has cars it has no designated parking spots allotted to the residents anyone can park their vehicle wherever they want but it must be in a marked parking spot people mostly park their cars in the same parking spot just because of convenience and habits everyone mostly respects each other's spot and i have never seen any confrontations happening because of parking so for those of you who don't know the 26th of january is the republic day of india and all over the country the day is celebrated by a flag hoisting ceremony in the morning the flagpole of our society where the flag hoisting ceremony will be held is just in front of our main gate there are two parking spaces just under the flagpole all other parking spaces are further away from the main gate and you have to walk some distance to reach there from the main gates the thing to note is that these two parking spaces are very very convenient for people in the apartments that are facing this flagpole however out of respect people have left one of the parking spaces for one elderly person whose apartment faces the flagpole and the other spot is taking up by an annoying kind of person who never moves his car from that spot or else someone will steal a spot if this person wants to get into his car he just has to walk a dozen feet from his front door on the evening of the 25th of january committee members asked this person to move his car for one day so they could decorate and make other arrangements for the next day flag hoisting someone else had already moved the car for the elderly person however this annoying guy got frustrated about moving his car and he argued with the committee people saying that there was no such rule in the rulebook saying that he had to move his car and if they wanted him to move his car then they had to write that rule in the rulebook after a bunch of arguments the guy finally moved his car the committee finished the decorations that night and next day a small but beautiful ceremony was held and on that evening of the 26th everyone in the society received a message that there was an emergency meeting of the committee the rule book had been amended and it had been decided that those two parking spots had to be converted into one parking spot and anyone who wants to park in that one parking spot has to get special permission from the committee as expected only two people applied for that parking spot the elderly person and the annoying guy and today the committee unanimously decided that the elderly person is much more in need of that convenient parking spot because of his age and so he has that spot allotted to him for one year so now the annoying guy has to park far away from his apartment for at least one year and i'm pretty sure that he's not gonna get the spot next year either i'm afraid that he's not gonna like this once the rainy season comes also we live in mumbai which is notorious for its horrible monsoon rains every year and he has to suffer through all this just because he didn't want to move his car for one day our next credit post is from deleted the customer is always right right this was the attitude of all upper management at the company that i used to work for despite us warehouse workers having the entire system down pat the customers who would pick up their goods always seem to know better at first it was the small things telling us how to bag a lounge properly as they watched and corrected us demanding that we open up an item exposing it to the dirty elements in the warehouse then throwing a tantrum and expecting us to clean the item that we had just unwrapped and repackage it this eventually became bigger things like customers abusing us if we weren't loading up a product or if we didn't hurry up with unloading something which usually resulted in an injury for one of the warehouse workers naturally i would always try and reason with customers which resulted in the area manager releasing a company-wide email detailing that in every scenario we could imagine we had to do what the customer said especially when it came to picking up their goods at either a store or a warehouse the email finished with a morale boosting statement that if any feedback or complaints against a worker involving correcting or contradicting a customer made its way to the area manager that worker would be written up with an official warning a few weeks later we had a transfer from our interstate warehouse this transfer included a stack of customer pickups i signed off in the transfer paper and the sales associates began calling customers and organizing pickups most of the pickups go smoothly until we get to this douche wearing white pants or white pants mcgee white pants mcgee rocks up in his battered flatbed truck wearing a polo shirt with a popped collar and slicked back hair he scans the warehouse and snaps his fingers at me i reluctantly walk over and he stares at me expectantly yes sir you have my sofa are you picking it up sir well i won't be picking anything up you boys are gonna load it he chuckles as he says this well sir as the sales associates would have told you warehouse staff are unable to load anything up and it's the customer's responsibility yeah yeah yeah i'm sure your manager would be pissed knowing that you cost him a nine thousand dollar sale so i sigh and check the paperwork this guy bought a four-seater sofa bid it's heavy cumbersome and it will definitely be too big for the vehicle that he selected white pants mcgee sees me checking the paperwork and he smirks just do what i say and it'll be easier for all of you and what would you like us to do just load it up and i'll take it from there okay sir just sign the paperwork white pants mcgee signs off on the pickup and that he's taking responsibility for transporting his goods myself and four other guys grabbed this monster of a sofa and loaded up with a little bit of difficulty i make an attempt to see if this guy needs any more help and he snaps at me i got this chief let me do my thing i shrug this guy salutes us then jumps into his car without strapping the sofa down i go up to stop him and offer him some straps but he slams the car into drive and begins driving at breakneck speeds towards the exit area and towards the main road me and the boys watch holding our breath as this takes a turn at full speed the sofa kicks up a bit and then slams into the side of the truck white pants mcgee slams on the brakes as he nears the main road the sofa kicks up hits the roof of the truck and flips off hitting the gravel road hard the warehouse erupts in laughter as a sales associate rushes out to see what the commotion was a few minutes later the area manager was on the phone wanting to know what happened i politely explained that the customer asked us to load up the sofa and only load up the sofa and that he was happy to take care of the sofa once it was in the back of his truck there was a pause and i also happily pointed out that i could bring this signed off contract to the area manager's office another long pause and the area manager said don't bother in the end the sofa was damaged and there were no repercussions because we did exactly what the customer instructed us to do that guy's a sofa as in so dumb our next credit post is from dodie melody this happened a few years ago at the time i was working for an internet service provider in one of their shops my job was basically tech support on the spot i.e data transfer from devices opening tickets for customers for their outages that kind of thing among my duties i also had to sell phone equipment like cases chargers etc i really liked my job the customers were somewhat nice being that they were mostly older people who didn't know how to use their device i enjoyed helping them and in return they would stop by with pastries from the local bakeries i had this one boss who was a stickler for numbers now he wasn't necessarily a bad boss but his unhinged obsession with our targets was weird the man would not could not comprehend that sales were down because no people were coming in weird guy anyway one day he calls me up to his office and he has this strange one-on-one talk with me about how i need to get my sales numbers up even though i don't work in sales i asked him if he had a certain idea about how i should do this seeing as how most of my clientele are older people who don't need selfie sticks external batteries or stuff like that figure it out he said offer it to everyone no exceptions a few weeks go by and he calls me up to his office again for what i thought would be a one-on-one again but lo and behold he needs a favor his dad was in town and he needed me to stay one extra paid hour to transfer data from his dad's old phone to his new one because he had an important meeting to attend sure thing boss his dad comes in and he's such a good guy we started talking and laughing about sports cars and other different stuff and then it hit me cue malicious compliance i offer this man everything i stuffed his bag with all the goodies and the final bill came up to around 200 instead of being free he walked out happy my boss on the other hand wasn't so cheerful never again was my productivity questioned and i quit a few months later well the guy did say no exceptions so that was our slash malicious compliance and if you like this content check out my podcast where i publish the exact same episodes also hit that subscribe button because i put
