Absurd School Bureaucrat Needs Copy of Degree She Issues


Bureaucracy can be a mind-numbing puzzle of forms to fill out and cranky people to deal with. Sometimes you get a real treasure of a human being who absolutely hates what they do, and dealing with them is pulling teeth. Here's one of those times. For another school themed story, here's Karen and Karen Jr getting outed for trying to cheat the school system.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/forshuregirl 5 hours ago So you need a certified copy of my bachelor degree that you just issued? No problemo oc M So, this is a little one, but it still fullfilled me with satisfaction. During my last semester of my bachelor degree I already applied for the masters degree at the same university. So I go through the normal application process and get accepted (yay!), but as I didn't have my bachelor degree at that point, I had to produce a certified cop

Text - But whatever, weird bureaucracy is weird. And BOY was it annoying at that university. Because all students of my faculty had to got through one lady. And I think she just hated to do anything. Like, seriously, she was so annoyed when you showed up at her office to just do anything. When I turned in my bachelor thesis, she straight up said that she is so fucking annoyed that all the students turn their thesis in at her office. Well, we don't have another choice?? There is seriously not oth

Text - Lady: "Here." (without even looking at me) Me: "Thank you, I need a certified copy of that." Lady: (really annoyed): "Excuse me, WHAT?" Me: "I need a certified copy. Could you please copy it and certify that it is a copy of the original?" Lady: "I know what a certified copy is! You can get that at the town hall." Me: "I know, but I can also get it here.

Text - Lady: (hands me the degree and copy) "HERE!" Me: "Thank you. Now I would like to give you a certified copy of my bachelor degree for my application for the masters degree. (I hand her back the certified copy)." Lady: "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Me: "Yes, I thought if I am already here, I could turn that in as well. So I don't have to come back again." (Another 5-second staring contest) Lady just takes the copy out of my hand and turns around. And with that, I lef with the biggest grin on my face.

Text - What did she expect? That I got to the town hall (15 Minute ride), wait there for probably 1-2 hours, get a certified copy that would cost me 13 Euros (at uni one was for free) and then come back another day? HELL NO! Especially because she had the weirdest office hours ever. It was something like 2 days a week for 1,5 hours in the morning and one day for 1,5 hours in the afternonn.

Text - k_is_for_kwality Score hidden - 3 hours ago Ugh. I had to do something like that once at work (government). I needed to fill out a form and give it to, we will call him Joe. So I fill it out to the best of my knowledge. I give it to Joe and he says "you need to fill out this field here". It's some ID number associated with my account. Ok, but how do I get that info Joe? Blank stares. Ok, well, I'll try. Begin half a day of going to visit my coworkers, my boss, the floor admins... how do I
