'We don't take cash': Apartment manager demands former tenant write a check for 2 cents? Cue malicious compliance!

There is nothing more ridiculous than writing a check for two cents! This thread was posted on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/lentesta, who recounted how he and his wife received a follow-up bill from their former apartment management company for $0.02. They complied and attempted to make that already stupid payment in person, but the manager of the complex refused to take cash or write off the payment.

 

So naturally, this infuriated the Redditor, who proceeded to write a check for $0.03 and then asked to have a check sent back to them for the overpayment. This went on for enough time that they received the kind of apology you can only dream of from an apartment manager. Now personally, I would not have the time or bandwidth to commit to this kind of malicious compliance, but you have to hand it to the Redditor and his wife for pulling it off.
