r/maliciouscompliance | Unmute my mic in Online School? Okay.

hello everyone my name is Steven and welcome back to story time without wasting any time let's get into our stories want me to turn the light off okay so a bit of background information I have an issue with lights being on when nobody is in the room and if someone forgets I politely remind them to turn it off next time now here's where the issue comes in there's a bathroom in our house that we refer to as the children's bathroom because only my siblings and I used the toilet in there the problem with this is that the light switch is on the outside of the bathroom by the door my sister has a habit of almost never turning off the light after she has used the bathroom she usually uses the excuse of oh I forgot about it and points out that the switch is on the outside however it irritates me when she still doesn't turn it off when I pointed out although she does this to almost every room in the house the bathroom is the most frequently forgotten now here's where the malicious compliance comes in we were in my parents bedroom playing with one of our cats when I decided I'd had enough and was going to my room as I was exiting the room I thought about the fact that she usually forgets to turn the light off so even though the light is inside the room I threw over my shoulder don't forget to turn the light off when you're done of course my sister being the snarky person she is replied no you turn off the light and in that moment I saw my chance and even though I was almost in my room at this point I wouldn't let this chance for payback to slip through my fingers okay I responded as I turned on my heels and marched over to the room and turned the light off with a satisfying click as I walked away I could hear her whine hey the sound of victory I know to most people it isn't that impressive but to me it's the sweetest victory yet edit one because people seem to think that it's only me I would like to inform you that I'm not the only one asking my sister to turn off the light as the rest of my family also asks my sister to turn off the lights I didn't mention this originally because they didn't think it was that relevant to the story but then a lot of people seem to think it is here you go I would also like to mention that like everyone else I do have a life outside of a bathroom light it seems like everyone assumes that I'm waiting right outside of the door every second of the day waiting to ask my sister to turn it off this was meant to be a story of a little bit of light hearted fun between two sisters that a bunch of you have completely blown out of proportion edit to Lord I didn't realize that so many people would be so caught up on the first paragraph that they would completely ignore the second paragraph and what this post is about and for those who are like wow well done for saving insert small amount of money here it's not about the money it's about the environment and I have it that has been drilled into my head for so many years so frequently that I struggled to get rid of it sorry to all the people out there that don't understand how difficult it is to stop doing something that you've been told you don't need to do anymore but I've had it told to you so many times that you can't escape it I understand Opie's position here because as somebody that does have to pay bills I also understand the desire of turning the light off and also I just prefer things to be generally darker most of the time but that's just me in this situation if you were Opie how would you handle the situation let me know what you would do or say in the comments below you want me to unmute my mic okay our school does online classes now and I had a double English period and my English teacher really likes class participation since the beginning of online classes he's told us to unmute all our mics today I had lunch a little later than normal so I had to eat during class so naturally I muted myself because I'd be making a lot of money and spoon hitting bowl sounds and then my teacher calls me out jokingly of course and I unmute and tell him I'm eating and I don't want to disturb the lesson he says it doesn't matter forces me to unmute my mic so I decide to eat my lunch as loud as is humanly possible keep in mind we have a class Instagram chat and my classmates told me to do it so I wasn't disturbing their learning and after a couple of seconds of incessant munching and spoon hitting Bowl sounds he relents and tells me to mute myself please and that I've won I feel like if I was a teacher I would rather have the students mute all their microphones rather than unmute I feel like it would end up being more distracting having all the sounds come in you are not to leave this room no matter what so this happened when I was in fourth grade I tell this story often when asked about messed up stories and my mom still tells it as well I was a bit of a class clown as such the teacher let's call her miss meanie she was mean to me because I was a handful and she apparently didn't know how to handle hyper children this was in the 90s and one of my previous teachers told my mother I should be on briteling to give you an idea of me as a kid anyway I was always joking in class and distracting others I was able to do my work but I admit I know looking back that I was a handful so the discipline at my school was to put the kids outside the classroom it was a private school from K to 12 so you could go from kindergarten to twelfth grade when put out in the hall we were on a hall sharing fourth to eighth graders and the adjacent hall joined by a hallway with a dark storage room was nine to twelve so I saw kids of all ages me being the sociable little monster I was would make conversation with them being friendly they would always talk especially the older kids older guys thought it was funny I was in trouble I guess older girls thought it was endearing or funny I don't know but people always talked and even stood around to talk longer rather than passing by awkwardly the teacher heard me and scolded me many times she eventually moved me to that joint hallway with the storage room in it it was sealing two walls with boxes but she moved some out and put a desk in there it didn't have but one functioning light blocks slightly by the boxes so it was dark barely visible to write on my desk with once again being sociable I just stood in the hall and talked to a passerby kids and older kids who was going to see me it's at the end of the hall no teachers came well mrs. Meany caught wind and came back there to scold me she gripped my arm hard hard enough to leave a red handprint and pulled me into the back room with gritted teeth she leaned in an inch from my face and said with the very same gritted teeth half yelling you are not to leave this chair after pushing me down into it no matter what no matter who you see you are not to leave this chair again until they come and get you you are to remain here and do your work or we will be taking this to the principal and calling your parents me scared at that thought could not help it since my brain is slower moving than my mouth what if there's a fire joking of course through the same gritted teeth even if there is a fire you stay in the seed until I say so so I did hours passed and it's nearly lunchtime I'm starving I never ate breakfast as a kid so I'm staring down the dimly lit clock time like it might suddenly start doing backflips I hear the fire alarm go off we have a drill twice a month so I wasn't shocked I started to get up as I know I was supposed to no matter what but then remembered mrs. Meany gritting her teeth at me better do what she says I thought smiling thinking it will be funny to see her reaction knowing it was only a drill I saw the kids and teens all filing out remember how I said it was literally eight grades worth of students picture twelve or so classrooms each with up to 30 or 40 students in them walking down to narrow hallways like a herd of Chihuahuas through a coffee straw so orderly even in a straight line is not happening I see them all taper out and wonder where she is I see them all gone and now it's empty only the flashing light from the hallway alarm and the ringing siren I sit there thinking oh man when I see your face this is going to be amazing giddy with excitement at the thought of it then I smelled smoke two fire drills a month for nine months a year for my entire life it felt like and this time I smell smoke then I see smoke I'm upstairs at the back of a dark hallway in an empty two-story large school building we had no windows in my school also for some reason looking back I'm sure this breaks some sort of fire code now okay I might have messed up I'm going to go to the front I started tearing up and getting watery eyed thinking I may have just committed suicide out of pettiness when I hear stopping loud and clear she runs down the hallway red-faced teary-eyed and out of breath and grabs me and for the first time misses me knee is nice to me she's hugging me and crying rambling faster than I can keep up with thank God thank God thank God head count didn't see you panicked messed up so bad so sorry please forgive me as she's carrying me down the hall I come out all the kids are in the parking lot and the fire trucks never saw those in action meet they come out with several extinguishers there was a small fire in the kitchen when making lunch thankfully it was contained to a small area did no real damage only made a sign of smoke and was put out quickly by the firefighters the principal wanted to know why I was there and I told him truthfully I was told not to come out even if there was a fire this was in a jab in mrs. meanie our principal was cold as ice and made you tell the truth at my school they actually paddled you with a wooden paddle with holes in it very old school type of punishment even for the 90s irrelevant but these horrors run deep that thing whistled when swung and hurt the principal had someone watch our class and I'm assuming gave her an earful in her office for nearly rest of the day my mother was called they all convene in the office and once again I'm assuming words were said my mother was livid and said she paid too much money per month to have me locked in a closet even if I was being a little brat there is better ways to punish me like say call her first thing and let her put the fear in me which she did after this I did not get off scot-free from her as relieved as she was I wasn't dead she knows all of this stuff was my fault in the end and my stupidity could have gotten me killed mrs. meaning was a lot nicer to me then a lot more patient and I was less of a little brat I was still the class clown but within reason and never tried to distract kids again she was a lot nicer and more understanding and tried to reach kids rather than scream and scold at first glance I had a lot of bad times at that school and left only a year later due to a particularly bad incident in which once again my mother was present this time the teacher was fired for gross negligence that nearly hospitalized me this time I was not being a brat another story for another time though not malicious compliance on my part in that one listen if I mopey I see smoke I'm getting out of there and also if I was Opie's parent I am gonna be extra livid as his mother was I sure hope mrs. Meany felt lucky that she still had a job after that that whole situation could have been elevated a lot more against the entire school as a whole honking at a student driver eat this background I'm from Germany and we have quite a thorough driving training over here basic training plus 12 mandatory lessons for defined conditions four times Autobahn five times country road three times a night lessons must be taken from a professional licensed driving instructor learner cars are clearly labeled as such Fashola driving school cast o P equals o P instructor equals school driving instructor douche eagles douchebag setting Opie tix a driving lesson in a clearly labeled learner car instructor wants to train Opie's reverse into a very tight parking space skill in a narrow street of a residential area with cars parking on both sides of the road and merely enough space for one car to drive along no two-way traffic possible let alone passing by this is a common situation in that city and therefore the reason why it needs to be trained Opie has a little trouble needs to check all sides as well as the cars parking on the other side of the road and is very focused on the task meanwhile douche approaches in his car Opie fails manoeuvre that giant actually tiny in US scale car into the tiny space two times in a row which triggers douche do start Hawking like fury hope he looks at instructor what the heck did I do wrong instructor looks at LP Keep Calm no problem turn off the engine and turn on the emergency blinkers we are blocking the road shouldn't I get along no turn off the engine and turn on the emergency blinkers you'll see why hope he turns off the engine and turns on the emergency blinkers get out and wait for me hope he gets out and waits for instructor the instructor comes over to my side call ami and do the same as me instructor slowly theatrically walks around the car and carefully inspects every detail take special care for the rear side checks if there's enough space between our car and the parked cars and even takes the time to look under the car hope he tries to do something similar all this takes a whole minute if not more instructor shakes his head looks at Opie and actor Lee shrugs his shoulders follow me instructor walks over to douche inside him to lower the window Opie follows instructor douche turns down the window with a facial expression of total confusion sir is there anything wrong with our car we inspected it carefully but we cannot find any problem but instructor repeats is there anything wrong with our car we inspected it but there seems to be no problem douche angry why the Freak do you think there should be a problem instructor in perfect law speak sir according to Section 16 point 1 st vo bro traffic regulations you are only allowed to use acoustic warnings if you see an imminent hazard for yourself or others since you yourself are most probably not in a hazard while waiting for another car to go I must assume that either our car itself or our maneuvering constitutes an imminent hazard therefore I'd like to know what the problem is I'm in a hurry oh that's all no imminent hazard for yourself or others for ignol instructor theatrically making a thinking face and playing dumb so you actually use the acoustic warning sign although there was no imminent hazard for yourself or others heck yeah get along I see just a friendly reminder according to Section sixteen point one STV oh you are only allowed to use acoustic warning signs if you see an imminent hazard for yourself or others a violation of section sixteen point one STV oh can be punished with a five euro fine -
