'The set has over 7,000 pieces': Guy demands sister replace expensive toy, but she tells him he's 'overreacting'

Hobbies take many shapes and sizes, from cooking to knitting to painting. This guy's hobby is collecting and building Lego kits, but unfortunately his family doesn't see his passion as a real hobby at all. 

In a post to r/AmItheA******, u/swlego_fan wrote about an incident that happened when he asked his sister, her husband, and their kid to keep an eye on his two dogs while traveling. The OP said he directed his nephew to a big box of Lego pieces for him to build and play with. The only thing the OP asked was that the family not touch his prized possession. This would be an expensive Millennium Falcon, built with thousands of tiny pieces, and costing a small fortune. And yet this family couldn't resist!

When the OP asked to be compensated for the broken Lego piece, the family treated his reasonable request as if he was 'overreacting.' Commenters totally disagreed – and some even suggested the OP take this to court! If his family can't act more respectful towards his property, that may just be the solution.

"[It] weighed 3 times [more than] a normal cheeseburger. The cashier picked it up and her eyes grew wide": Delicious compliance ensues for demanding customer

You're buying a sandwich and you get to add a stupid big amount of one ingredient: what do you choose? This one guy demanded extra onions on his burger, and with their manager's permission, this Redditor fired up some delicious malicious compliance!

As a teenage McDonalds employee, this OP got their fair share of irritating customers. Customers can be so demanding, asking for all kinds of special substitutions or additions to their food. Some people want really specific things, like having the burger's bun extra toasted until it's burnt, or paying extra for four extra slices of cheese. This OP didn't hesitate to fulfill this man's extra extra onions request, and their manager even backed them up. The customer wasn't thrilled, but he can't say he didn't get exactly what he asked for. 

Scroll down to check out the whole story, then peruse the comments, where people shared their own love for onions, and their own customer service experiences with weird food requests. Up next, this woman asked if she was being a Disney Karen for her reaction to a cast member's perfectly normal greeting.

Update! 'I looked at this man with a stare of a 20-year-old that has no bills to pay': Underpaid server forced to deep clean floors by manager? Cue malicious compliance!

Some horrible bosses give you horrible tasks just to be horrible. That certainly was the case for this underpaid 20-year-old restaurant worker who was getting paid a paltry $8/hour. One day, his boss told him to go to the back, deep clean the floors, and to not come to the front of the restaurant under any circumstances until the job was done. Well, that's exactly what this Redditor did.

 

He shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit and refused to take on any subsequent tasks as instructed, much to the chagrin of his employer later on during the shift. However, the Redditor knew his boss couldn't get that mad, not only because those were his instructions, but also because his boss would have a hard time finding a replacement who would agree to this kind of pay and treatment. Keep scrolling below for the full story and be sure to read the Redditor's update at the end of the post. For more, here's another juicy tale of malicious compliance!

‘You Messed With the Wrong Cosplayer’ : Entitled Lady Insults Cosplayer on Online Fandom, He Plays Ultimate Long Game of Revenge, Leading To Her Losing $25,000 Prize in Social Media Contest

A portmanteau of the words 'play' and 'costume', cosplay is the act of dressing up in a fictional character's apparel. While adorning this character's costume, the cosplayer oftentimes adopts their persona and mannerism. Let's be clear, a lot of effort is put into this recreation of a character, so the last thing you'd wanna do is insult the person who does it. Personally, I really admire the dedication and the zest that people have for it. It's not just a costume — it's an art, a performance. 

Missy, on the other hand, who you'll soon come to know, is the kind of dudette that gets off on putting other people down — in real life, and on Facebook Fandoms, it so seems. u/Daligheri uploaded a couple of photos to the group (He was the Witcher) and got some snarky and rude responses from this Missy gal, who insulted his makeup, and his gender. She claimed that someone who plays a male cosplayer should be biologically male. Problematic much? Correct.

Then of course, as life is ironic and weird, Missy was running for a huge social media contest of sorts, and on her profile, she'd spoken warmly about herself, claiming she was a very nonjudgemental person. u/Daligheri had a good laugh, then realized this was actually a perfect opportunity for payback. So he carefully planned his revenge.

'I quit my job after only one week': New employee sends scathing email to HR calling the company out of its shady policies

Without people like this, companies will only continue to exploit their workers. Well, if we're being our most cynical selves, we can acknowledge that companies will likely continue to exploit their workers no matter what. However, they will only continue to go unchecked and will only be emboldened to ramp up their unfair treatment of others unless workers call them out on their BS. We wish that the burden didn't have to fall on the exploited, but unfortunately, no changes will be made otherwise.

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/juelpa,  serves as another example of this fact. We have to give props to the original poster for being so completely transparent. They could have just quit, but laying out all these ridiculous policies could potentially make things easier for those who have to stay. Unfortunately, the Redditor has to go back into the workplace once more to return a key. We anticipate that this will be an awkward encounter, to say the least.
