'Most of us simply ignored her...But a dozen of us decided to comply': Principal ignores teacher's schedule, ruins her own Friday

School testing is an important part of a student's year, and these tests have to be administered with exact time measurements. This teacher shared their experience with this on r/MaliciousCompliance – they got to talk to their boss in a way that most people only dream of!

As u/Djorgal shared, they work part time as a math teacher in France. Since they only work part-time, they kept telling their principal that they wouldn't be able to cover the entirety of the student's upcoming tests. With the teachers having to come in early for the testing, this teacher wouldn't be able to stay the entire day without breaking the rules of their employment. And of course, after giving the principal ample notice about their part time status, this teacher got to tell her off in a very epic way.

'You work for your hours!': Employee quits after reading demanding manager's note

This note was the last straw for one fed-up gas station employee! As shared to r/antiwork, the OP, u/GlitteringSpell5885, shared an eye-opening note from management. Along with sharing the note, which got lightly roasted in the comments, the OP also answered a few of the commenter's questions to add context to the situation. As the OP wrote, the manager felt she was entitled to talk down to the young employees who worked at this gas station. Clearly, the tone of the note struck a nerve with at least one (former) employee.

Update! 'Your cat has to stay in your room now': Roommates spar over their cats' inability to get along

They do say a pet's behavior will resemble its owner's! That seems to be the case in this instance but in the reverse order. Once it became clear that these two cats did not get along, their owners, who are roommates with one another, got into their own fight over it all.

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by 
u/bananapuddingkit, is also a rare example where the original poster genuinely listened to the feedback in the comments and amended their behavior. There is some hope for the AITA community! In this case, the Redditor came to realize that impulsively bringing home a pet when she was already armed with the knowledge that her roommate's cat was not the friendliest was… well, not the wisest decision.

'Time to go to the psychiatrist': Redditors Tackle the Creepiest 'Would You Rather' Question Ever, Giving Everyone the Heebie-Jeebies and A Bad Case of Paranoia

'Would You Rather' is a timeless game that has taken over sleepovers, college parties, and senator's dinners alike. In the game, the goal is to pose impossible hypothetical scenarios and beg players to debate the pros and cons of (usually horrific) oppositions. The caveat? You must choose one option, so typically both options are terrible in their own special way. Naturally, Redditors have taken this formula and perfected the most atrocious and creepiest 'Would You Rather' question of all time, leaving readers freaked out, questioning their sanity, and genuinely unable to decide which side is worse. So, without further ado,  for those willing to join the discussion and second-guess their living situation for all eternity… 

Which would you rather find living in your attic, 1000 cockroaches or 1 human person? 

Either way you have a parasite scuttling about upstairs, creeping into all of your things, eating your food, and infiltrating your walls, so your choice is pretty bleak. Redditors debated the logistics of fumigation and ease of removal, while others contemplated the lethal implications, psychological trauma, and ability to move on from the debacle. Most interestingly, this WYR question seemed to have no clear winner. Some people, who have probably seen too many unsolved true crime documentaries insisted that the human would simply disappear the second you called the police, following you to the next home you moved into (because they're obviously deranged in some way). The roaches would be equally difficult to shake, according to many folks, because when you see 1,000 roaches, that means there's probably actually more like a million stashing away in all of your things– clothes, furniture, food, etc. 

Nightmare fuel. It seems that whatever horrors you find living in your attic without your permission will follow you into the next apartment you flee to, so in my opinion, you at least might as well be collecting a little rent income from your parasite. Maybe you can even coexist and share the wifi code and some lone-survival tips. 

'There was definitely an elephant in the room': Landlord forces company to abandon building in one week, cue malicious compliance

Landlords are the worst! As the OP shared in this delicious tale of malicious compliance, this business triumphed over their landlord with excellent results. 

As the OP shared to r/maliciouscompliance, the story starts in 2020, and the OP later added updates to share what the landlord's reaction was. As they tell it, the company was renting a space when the 2020 madness hit. The company was an entertainment site, so of course, no one could be inside for quite some time. Then, the landlord of the building suddenly gave the company the boot. 

At least the workers at this company refused to back down without a fight! The story is such a triumph, and as one commenter pointed out, it's some great schadenfreude.

‘Did You Block Me?’ : 18 Best Dating App Fails of the Week for the Tired Crowd

'It's just so convenient' is the go-to answer you give to people when they ask why you're using dating apps. Of course, the only people who would have the audacity to ask this question are the couples that have been chained to each other's ankles since middle school and take pride in the fact they are a living example of 'real, true love' (yuck). Behind the scenes nobody really knows what's going on.

Tinder is easy enough to use, and feels like a practical way to get to know people because let's face it — approaching people in real life isn't an option. Not if you're me, anyway.

But then once you're on the stupid app, excitedly swiping away, left and right, back and forth… you find yourself in a different predicament that doesn't involve a deep fear of being laughed at face to face — no, this is a whole other ballgame. It's called 'Choice overload', or in simpler terms, 'FOMO'. When you have so many endless options available, you begin to adopt the 'grass is greener' attitude. Unless you're one of those people that open Netflix and settle immediately on something you want to watch, you know what I mean… the temptation is real.

As for the ghosting, benching, breadcrumbing, yada and bada and gada… FFS, it's exhausting. Tinder promises good things to those who swipe, but it LIES. Anyhow, it's not like I'm gonna stop using it or anything, I'm just here to complain and bring on the good ol' fails other people have kindly shared with the rest of us. I dunno about you, but they sure make me feel better. Scroll down to check out some of the best dating app fails of the week.

'I enjoy what I do but I don't do it for free': Construction worker stands up to boss after getting docked 15 minutes for being 1 minute late

This dude created a wave of malicious compliance seemingly by accident! He was standing up to his boss after getting his time docked fifteen minutes for being just one minute late. This new policy proved to be ridiculous, and so the Redditor decided he wouldn't work for free during those fifteen minutes, knowing that it's fully illegal to require workers to do so. When his coworkers saw this tactic work, they all followed suit and it was only a matter of time before their horrible boss was called out by his boss for enforcing a policy that led to decreased productivity.

 

This thread, which was shared to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, is a mostly positive tale of worker solidarity… that is until the original poster revealed that his boss got his own revenge not much later. Thankfully, according to his responses in the comments section below, he found a better job at a competing company afterward.
