'I’m milking every minute to abide to your rules': Fast-food employee maliciously complies to manager's strict closing-shift rules and gets several extra hours of pay

Sometimes actually following the rules makes you more rebellious. That's right, it's called malicious compliance and it is a tasty form of protest. One person who works in the service industry at a fast-food restaurant played a grade-A malicious compliance tactic that actually had them getting paid more. 

They had gotten in trouble for starting their closing-shift duties early so they could leave earlier. The place closes at 9 and they didn't want to be there until midnight, so they would start a bit earlier, which we get them done closer to around 10 or 11. However, the manager caught wind of this and wrote them up. So they decided to do exactly what the rules told them to do. They didn't help with anybody else's closing duties any more, they only concentrated on their own. And they didn't start their closing duties a second before 9pm. And then once 9pm came around, they would take their time, making sure all of their closing duties were done properly. This had them staying until almost 1am, which means now, the company is paying them for several extra hours. When they were doing the closing-shift duties earlier, they were able to clock-out earlier. But since getting in trouble for that efficiency, they decided to make the company pay.

'This happened in 2002 and I still think about it all the time': 20+ Face-meltingly cringe moments that keep people awake at night

It's 2:30 A.M., you have to work tomorrow, but you're staring at the ceiling instead of sleeping…what embarrassing moment in your life are you reflecting on as you lay in the silent darkness? In order to answer that question, it helps to have some anonymity. That's why r/AskReddit really leaned in to this prompt, asking which "relatively minor social missteps or poorly chosen words you did/said years earlier?" still bother you today. 

The responses range from tiny mean comments about someone's appearance or laughter, to bigger things like outright rejecting romantic advances in a blunt manner. It's fascinating, because so many of these submissions are really tiny things that people have spent hours of their lives pondering over. It really makes you wonder if you're the cause of anyone's ultimate embarrassing moment. And it makes you realize that most people will only remember embarrassing moments about their own lives, and don't really care so much about other peoples' supposed slights.

20+ Highly Suspicious Carole Baskin Memes for Widow-Making Big Cat Rescues and 'Tiger King' Fans Alike

Remember early in 2020 when society became obsessed with an eccentric gay man named Joe Exotic? We had no idea what we loved (or hated about this man), but for some reason, watching Tiger King was extremely important. Joe had a enormous dangling eyebrow piercing, a silly habit of turning straight men into his husbands, and a deep-rooted hatred for a middle-aged woman who dressed like a middle school flower child…Carole Baskin. 

Not only did Joe hate Carole, but his amateur detective work uncovered an even darker secret about Carole's past that the audience, and the police, could not ignore. 30 years ago, Carole's husband, Don Lewis, went "missing "and it seemed that everyone on the show was determined to prove that she had something to do with his disappearance– most notably, they thought she might have fed him to her tigers. Now, in 2023, we're learning that Carole's "deceased" hubby, Don Lewis, is actually alive and well, living large in Costa Rica. That's one way to escape a marriage to a crazy cat lady.

'I have a roommate that says she only needs to brush her teeth once a week on Sunday': 30+ People who ratted out their worst roommates ever

You never really know a person's quirks and habits fully until you've lived with them. For these poor roommates, it's too late! They're already stuck living with a person who is convinced that they're doing everything right, and their roommate is the one interfering, actually. 

I've had wonderful luck with roommates in my own life, they all were normal and clean (great qualities in a cohabitator). The worst thing that ever happened was when my roommate put an egg in the microwave and as soon as she took it out, it exploded! It got in her hair, splattered on our carpet, it ruined the bowl…and we were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. (Who knew eggs were explosive?!) It was a whole situation at the time, but it became a funny memory. 

No one is perfect, you just have to try to get along with the room mate you're assigned to, whether in a college dorm or a four person apartment. The poor people below had some of the worst roommates I've ever heard of! There are some genuinely weird dudes and dudettes in the world, and they don't stop being oddballs just because they're living with someone. If anything, they get too comfortable and increase their socially awkward habits.
