Customer Walks Into Empty Local DMV Office, Still Takes an Eternity

There's nothing like a trip to your local purgatory - I mean, DMV office…

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/mrcrashoverride, who shared a previous experience at the seventh level of H3ll, also known as the Department of Motor Vehicles. What was remarkable is that this Redditor walked into an empty location, and yet it still took forever. By the time they were finally seen, the customer was told they needed a number (rookie mistake). They came back and the DMV employee kept calling other numbers, supposedly for the other invisible customers there. Nightmare! Eventually, the employee just told the customer to head over, and that's when malicious compliance ensued.

 

Of course, we do not know what the employee has been through and what their daily life is, so we have no interest in making light of DMV employees. However, it's just a fact that the DMV's purpose in life is to humble everyone in the most soul-sucking way, like a real-life Dementor from Harry Potter. Keep scrolling below for the full story in the Redditor's words!

'You need to be better at timekeeping...': Boss reprimands employee for being three minutes late once, they stop staying late

Be careful what you wish for…

When you're managing people, you really need to be careful with your choice of words, especially if you're the type of tyrannical manager who expects your instructions to be followed to the letter. If you unintentionally leave room for interpretation in your autocratic tirades, expect it to be interpreted in the most ridiculous (or disadvantageous possible ways.)

That's what happened when this boss told their subordinate to "be better at timekeeping" after they were late by just three minutes. The employee writes that this interaction eroded all goodwill that the employer and employee shared, and the employee suddenly found themselves wondering why they were working all this extra unpaid time outside of their contracted hours. 

They started being better with their timekeeping and began leaving exactly when they were supposed to (why weren't they doing that anyway?) which pissed their boss off to no end.
