‘I Only Went Out to Lunch!’ : Karen Takes Car From Leasing Company for 2 Hour Test Ride Adding 60 Miles to Odometer, Ignores All Attempts at Means of Communication, Leading to Police Getting Involved


Like all establishments, an automobile company has rules and policies. It seems entirely plausible (generally speaking,) that people would understand a little thing called the 'rule of thumb'. AKA, the unspoken agreement. But unfortunately, not everyone is very bright. There are many possible conclusions one may come to when a car seemingly evaporates into thin air. When you disappear for two hours when taking a car out for a test drive, and ignore all of the staff's attempts at reaching out to you digitally, it's fair to assume that the company will call the cops on you. For all they know, you've done a dine-and-dash, with an actual car. 

As it so turns out, one crazy lady took incredible offense when police got involved after she drove off with a car for a 'test drive', and returned two and a half hours later. This Karen took to Yelp to formally complain. Many crocodile tears were involved (She mentioned the word 'crying' about 15 times). The company replied to her review with a few minor details she had conveniently left out.

Such as the fact that while on this mini road trip, she managed to pack in quite an itinerary. She picked up a friend, who she then went to lunch with, then went off-roading, and finally made her way back to the car company to return said car. Boy was she surprised when a police cruiser was there along with the entire team of employees, awaiting her arrival with baited breath,

'The result isn't pretty': Teenager uses sister's shampoo without permission, discovers there was blue hair dye in it


You know what they say: you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. This 12-year-old teenager used her older sister's shampoo without permission. Little did she know, however, there was blue hair dye in it…

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/pixelkid44, and we should point out that the Redditor actually had no intention of sabotage here. Her hairdresser advised that she put blue hair dye in her shampoo so that her hair can maintain its color. Her younger sister, who is blonde, tends to have a habit of taking the Redditor's things. By the time the blue hair dye drama ensued, the Redditor's parents assumed it was a prank to teach the younger sister a lesson. We're taking the Redditor's word for it when she insists that this wasn't the case and that she simply didn't think she needed to inform everyone that she was putting blue hair dye in her personal shampoo. Regardless, the results are kind of iconic.

'I want something classy that isn't embarrassing to be seen at': Cranky hotel guest throws a fit over a campfire, swiftly regrets it


Hotel clerks have to deal with so many stupid questions. This front desk manager wrote about how they work in a national park at a hotel, and as with most customer service roles, they have some guests that can never be satisfied with their surroundings. 

One guest approached the OP to ask this gem of a question: "I know the county has a burn ban going on right now, but since the lodge is on federal land, it doesn't apply. So I can start a fire on the grass just outside my cabin, right?" The poor OP had to deal with this brain genius, who just could not understand why he couldn't set fire to the grass during a burn ban (meaning no fires whatsoever due to extreme risks!).

Some entitled folks will always believe they're the exception to the rule. It boggles the mind to think someone believes their right to a cozy campfire is worth possibly burning down the entire area they're staying at. This male Karen just didn't think anything through before accosting the front desk attendant, and it really backfired on him.

25 Cheeky memes about the UK


Americans really are afraid of roundabouts! We do not know how to use them! And don't even get us started on scones… 

If you've ever visited the United Kingdom, or if you live there, you'll probably relate to this random assortment of fails and memes. I have recently [today, as I wrote this] become a fan of the cat who lives at Downing Street, working as the Chief Mouser. Americans should immediately adopt this tradition and get a cat to work in all levels of politics. I think that would solve many problems. 

After you scroll through these very British memes, check out this tale of one dude's malicious compliance against a car rental company that quickly turned messy, to the company's dismay. 

'You sound like someone who loves a job that will never love you back': Employee screws herself over by working unpaid hours


This employee thought she was pulling off some malicious compliance, but in the end, she just made things worse for herself. The problem is, she shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit fully convinced that she had pulled a fast one on her employer. Yikes!

 

She was quickly given a firm dose of reality by some ruthless people in the comments section. If we think about this more broadly, this is really just further evidence that we have been conditioned to do what's most efficient for our employers and companies rather than look out for ourselves and ensure that we are being treated fairly every step of the way. There are certainly more options u/reneemul could present to her boss so that the outcome is both realistic and equitable. Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in the comments. For more, here's a story of petty revenge involving a boomer Karen.

Major Tattoo Fail Sends Girl Home in Tears, Spends Proceeding Weeks Trying to Scrub Them Off, Works Enough to Get Them Expertly Fixed


If you didn't know this already, tattoos are permanent… As parents like to remind their tatted up children quite often. So what do you do if you get a bad tattoo or it comes out messed up somehow? Well, usually you either wait until it's healed and spend thousands of dollars getting it removed by a professional. Or you talk with another tattoo artist, preferably one you trust, and see how you can transform it or cover it up to look better. Others however take a riskier route and try to hinder the healing of the tattoo so it doesn't heal properly and it fades. This is possible, but not guaranteed and can cause serious scarring or even infection. So we highly recommend you DON'T do that. 

That being said, this girl got some truly heinous fine line tattoos from a TikTok tattoo artist she saw and it sent her into tears. She was so desperate that she spent the proceeding weeks scrubbing her tattoos with oil and salt and soaking them in hydrogen peroxide. She did it enough, and the tattoos we're light enough to begin with, that she was actually able to significantly fade them. And with that she went to her usual tattoo artist and got them expertly fixed. She learned her lesson the hard way and vows never to "cheat" on her tattoo artist again.

'At this point I'm petty and angry': Rental company tries to charge guy for extra day, cue devastatingly dirty malicious compliance


Companies really hate when their consumers know their rights, which one customer used to their advantage when they needed a rental car. As the customer, you're subject to a company's rules the moment you sign a contract. But if you just follow that contract to the letter, following all the rules, there's nothing the company can do to stop you. 

One poster shared this experience to r/MaliciousCompliance, one car rental company tried to screw him over after renting a car for five weeks. They needed the car while their personal vehicle was in the shop, but it seemed like an easy enough way to return the vehicle after the time was up — OP just used a dropbox to deliver the keys. But after checking out their personal vehicle, the OP realized it was still broken. Annoying! And not even the most annoying part of their story, because the headache with the car rental company was just beginning. 

Next up, this Karen came into a company as a bookkeeper and started micromanaging every penny spent, to the major annoyance of all the workers. So one worker just did exactly what Karen said…

'I told her she’s boring and has to fake her personality': Woman is jealous that her roommate speaks multiple languages, gets roasted online


Jealousy isn't a great personality either, my friend! This woman shared her side of the story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and the result was one of the more vindictive and selfish AITA posts we've come across in some time. Now, she's 19 years old, so perhaps we can blame her complete immaturity on her age, but that might be way too generous. 

 

Essentially, she got extremely jealous of her roommate because she spoke multiple languages and would watch films and listen to music in those languages. Her roommate would also speak to her other friends in those languages. If the Redditor felt left out and longed to be included, there's certainly a way to go about having that conversation. However, telling her roommate that she's boring is simply not going to help the situation. Keep scrolling below to see her get absolutely roasted in the comments section. For more stories like this, we've got one right here for you about two roommates and their cat drama.

'Stupid, but sweet': Kevin tries to ask girl out, accidentally commits arson


While trying to ask his crush to the Sweetheart Dance, one teenage goofball took his prom-posal to the extreme. 

What's the most creative way you've ever asked someone out? For many of us, it may be as boring as writing a card or just asking the person. But that didn't fly back in the day, as u/Smoke_Water shared to Reddit. He reminisced about his high school days, and the lengths that his dumb friend, Skip, took to get the girl of his dreams.

The girl was Sally, and as u/Smoke_Water wrote, she was hard to impress. He and his friends sat around spitballing ideas for Skip to use to ask her to the big dance. Skip decided to take the nuclear option! 

Next, check out these people who spilled the times that they instantly knew they weren't going to like someone, whether that be a neighbor, coworker, or even a student's parent. 

"'Wait...why is it so far over budget?' my boss asks": Update! Stingy bookkeeper Karen faces annual review, gets unwelcome surprise from management


Get ready for this incredibly satisfying update from one person who cashed in some malicious compliance at their workplace. 

As u/newtekie1 shared in 2022, they had to drive between two workplaces in their personal car, meaning that they relied on the company to reimburse any travel costs. But when Karen arrived at this workplace, she was determined to make budget cuts that made her look good, while inconveniencing basically every employee. She was such a penny pincher that she demanded the OP take the shortest drive between offices, even though the OOP tried to explain that that would add costly tolls each journey. 

Now, six months later, this Redditor is back with a wild update. It's finally time for Karen to get her comeuppance! And luckily for the OOP, they were able to catch the attention of upper management, who could actually do something about this Karen's role in the business. 

Speaking of Karens, one woman shared these tales about her mother's oddball antics in restaurants, and wondered if maybe, just maybe, her mom was a Karen.

'He's blatantly lying and making me out to be the bad guy': Shady Older Brother Sabotages His Sibling's New Relationship, Betraying His Family and Keeping Secrets From His Own Wife


Brotherhood is a sacred relationship. Typically, that sort of bond can't be broken, nor would anyone risk damaging their brotherly relationship because of pettiness, mean insults, or least of all, because of a girl. Well, one man proved that brotherhood is not as sacred to some, because he pretty much threw his own biological brother under the bus, effectively ending his relationship with his long-time girlfriend, publicly shaming his drug rehabilitation, and driving a very large wedge between them. On top of that, this shady older brother was hiding the entire situation from his own wife, showing his truly pathetic colors to the entire Internet. 

This story was aired out recently on Reddit, where the younger brother (let's call him Danny) went online to ask for advice on how to handle the situation wisely, thoughtfully, and honestly, to just to get an outside opinion on things. Danny explained that he used to be a drug addict and had been clean for over a year. While he was turning his life around, he met a young woman who he was truthful with about his past; they loved each other and eventually found an apartment to move in together. Everything was looking great in Danny's life until, out of the blue, his girlfriend broke up with him, claiming false accusations and sharing a ton of weirdly detailed information about things that never happened. She took off.

Well, Danny was suspicious about the whole situation immediately because one of the incidences she brought up as one of the reasons she couldn't continue dating him was an extremely delicate subject that he shared with only two people: Danny's therapist and his older brother, who we can call "Greg".

Apparently shady-Greg shared some deeply personal information with the girlfriend, driving her away from Danny on purpose. On top of that, after planting seeds of doubt, Greg gave the girlfriend a huge chunk of money so that she could go off on her own and find a new apartment. Danny confronted Greg about his deceptions and the whole situation escalated. Greg openly humiliated Danny and went off on how he was unreliable and a failure, but when Mrs. Greg walked in, he hushed the whole conversation, attempting to keep her out of the loop. Greg convinced Danny's girlfriend to break up with him, but doesn't want his wife to know. Sketchy, right?

Danny couldn't believe the lengths that his older brother would go to ruin his life. The backstabbing alone is enough to drive someone away, but from your own brother it's so much more painful. Commenters on the post agree that Greg is a POS and that Danny should tell the wife about the entire situation, because something here seems a bit fishy.

'That would be the last time they saw my kid': Overprotective Mother Scorches Her New Boyfriend for Taking Her Teenaged Daughter on a Motorcycle


Motorcycles are dangerous, everybody knows that. In fact, that's the reason why so many people think it's hot to ride a motorcycle. There's something about the complete lack of self preservation, danger, and rebellion that we feel when looking at a guy on a bike. But there's a line that can be crossed when it's no longer cool and rebellious to be on a bike and it's simply dangerous, scary, and reckless, especially when it comes to your teenager. One Redditor, a motorcyclist and part-time bad boy, recently learned the hard way what happens when you cross that line, potentially ruining his relationship and setting up a teenaged girl for a lifetime of biker guy fetishes. 

The man recently posted on AITA, wondering if he was being a jerk to his girlfriend (whom he was about to move in with). She had asked him to pick up her 14 year old daughter after school and he happily obliged, not specifying that he would be picking her up on his motorcycle. OOF.

The man was excited about a potential bonding moment with the teenaged girl, considering they were just about to move into his house, and he took it upon himself to load her up onto his motorcycle without the mom's explicit permission, going on a nice little joyride in the mountains before returning home. When the girlfriend found out later that evening, she was absolutely livid that her teenager was on the back of the motorcycle, scorching the Earth where the man stood for endangering her daughter. Shocked, the man wondered if he might have screwed things up with his girlfriend and, in Reddit's opinion, he certainly screwed the pooch on this one. 

'That was insanely disrespectful of you': Woman gets annoyed at sister who made family dinner


Cooking is such a personal thing, especially when you're cooking nice warm meals for the family you love. You have to take the time to look up a recipe, write down all those ingredients, shop, chop it all up, and stand at the stove stirring everything together. The best part is when the meal turns out beautifully and you get to serve it to your hungry spouse, relatives, or kids. 

Of course, there are many differences between families and between how they share their meals together. Some people have all their dinners together as a family, where they can bond and talk about their day. Other people tend to watch TV while they eat, or will eat alone. All of these are fine, of course. But for the OP, the main problem here is communication with her sister. I hope she apologizes to her sibling after all the hard work she put into making this meal! 

Next, read one this amazing Kevin story – one OP shared his experience as a teenager, helping his friend try to find the perfect way to ask out the girl of his dreams. Too bad that plan went up in flames

'Your MIL is LITERALLY TOXIC': Guy's MIL gets defensive after major babysitting bathroom fail


This lady makes a compelling candidate for the worst mother-in-law! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by the appropriately named username u/CharminUltraSoft316, details how the original poster and his wife came home to discover that their mother-in-law had not cleaned up after their kids' unfortunate bathroom fiasco. And when we say she didn't clean up, we mean that there was poop everywhere: in the sink, on the toothbrush, everywhere.

 

For context, the mother-in-law gets paid to watch their kids each week, but now the future of that relationship is clearly up in the air. After confronting their mother-in-law, she got super defensive and accused the Redditor and his wife of being slobs in addition to a variety of other insults (including calling her daughter fat). After all of that, it makes total sense why they disinvited their mother-in-law from their son's upcoming birthday party. Hopefully, they can have fun without her, and hopefully, their son doesn't have another accident.

"His first words to me are 'weak handshake bro'": 35+ People who absolutely hated someone from the moment they opened their mouth


First impressions really do matter! These people told r/askreddit about the people who they knew they wouldn't get along with from the first minute of conversation, and it was quite eye opening. 

People tend to tell you who they are — you just have to listen. A few teachers took to the comments to express their frustration with parents who love to tell these teachers how much their kids hate reading. In some cases, they bragged that their kid is illiterate! The teachers certainly didn't like that, as they wrote that these parents tend to avoid making their kids do homework. 

Other folks wrote in about the ways they first met their neighbors. One literally described himself as an a****** from the very first meeting! Not all jerks will just tell you that they suck, but when they do, it's time to run for the hills.

Next, peer into the lives of this one entitled family. This guy just doesn't understand why his BIL won't travel with him, but there's a 5-figure reason the BIL is irate.

‘Gen Z Sucks’ : Baby Boomers Spark Debate on Reddit Thread Regarding the New Tech-Savvy Generation


Are you 'with the times', or are you a Boomer? It's kind of a given that generational differences are going to spark heated debates. Boomers hate Gen X who hate Millennials. But who do these three generations hate the most? Gen Z, of course. We live in an era where generations don't really mix all that frequently. Youngsters seek out the freedom that independent living offers as soon as possible. 

The internet is rampant (Ahem, Reddit) with generational debates, and as Gen Z yap on about the privilege older people had regarding the economy back in the day ('We'll never own a house!'), baby boomers bemoan what they discern as fragility in the younger generation, as well as 'their lack of work ethic'. As usual, everybody has something to say, and the best place to say it is obviously on the internet.

Better yet, on r/askmen, where this debate surprisingly took place. I'd expect it on r/askreddit, but the subreddit for men seemed like an interesting place to pose this question: What's something you're a total "Boomer" about, even if you're "with the times" for most everything else?

In my personal opinion, everything always sucks, for different reasons. The rationale is ever-changing, and we're never gonna stop complaining. I can just imagine the criticism that Gen Z is going to have for Generation Alpha (Yep, already a new generation nearly in their mid-teens y'all. I feel old…). Maybe something along the lines of 'You're so lucky to have been born after the economy balanced out, 'cuz in MY day we could NEVER have bought a house'.

There are actually various analysts that have stated that this Alpha generation is gonna be the best educated, most technologically immersed, and wealthiest generation yet. Excuse me while I cry Millennial tears y'all. You can scroll down to check out the debate. Also, feel free to check out these hilarious coworker memes if you're the kind of employee with one foot out the door.

'If you continue to speak to me in such a manner, I will terminate this call': Karen goes off on customer service rep, gets her comeuppance


Never forget those calls are being recorded... We have all had a difficult experience dealing with silly bureaucratic rules with internet service, credit card companies, and the like. But here's the thing: as frustrating as these rules are, it's never a result of the decision-making of the customer service representative on the other line. In fact, most customer service reps don't want to make things inconvenient. If they could solve your problems in an instant without having to hear you babble and complain, they most certainly would. 

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/ithinkitmightbe, shows what happens when a testy Karen gets exactly what she deserves. In this case, she was warned by the Redditor that they will terminate the call if she continues to be, well, her Karen self. However, she wouldn't relent and even said "well terminate it then!" You can just guess what happened next. Keep scrolling for the full story and for more anecdotes in the comments section. When you're finished, here's another story about a boomer Karen's revenge!

Top Trending Entitled Moms of the Week (February 2, 2023)


Wherever there are children, there's a good chance you'll run into an entitled mother or two! I don't make the rules, but this is just reality at this point.

'You don't know if she was a Karen? Seriously?': Woman shares her Karen mother's self-centered restaurant antics


"Don't try to give my mom onions," warned u/OceanPoet13, before sharing a few funny stories of her mother's "Karen-esqe" antics at restaurants. In a post to r/F***YouKaren, the user wondered if her late mother was actually a Karen or not! She relayed a few stories that happened due to the OP's mother trying to guilt people. As the OP shared, her mother decided one day that she didn't just dislike onions, she was allergic to them now. She was certainly not shy about sharing her newfound allergy with restaurant staff, but according to the OP, she'd ask lots of questions about food prep. 

On other occasions that Mama Karen didn't get her way, she acted out to prove her point. As the writer shared, she wasn't sure if her mom was technically a Karen, since she wasn't alway rude exactly, just a bit quirky and demanding. The commenters shared their opinions on that as well. Let's remember — people have layers. Like onions. Buh-dum-tss! 

Next up, take a peek at this classic tale of one terrible landlord who threatened to kick a company out with just one week's notice, only to get the eviction thrown back in his face. 

'You totally bombed that social interaction': Employee tells coworker on last day that they are not friends


We all have that one coworker... you know, the one who tries too hard to be your friend. The one who is totally entertaining to chat with during the day, exchange side-eye with during meetings, or vent to occasionally. But are you going to actually befriend this person outside of work hours, especially after leaving the job? Absolutely not!

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Future_Wrangler_5817, is a great example, however, of what not to do with that coworker. No matter how annoying they are or how ridiculous they may be, it is so much easier to just smile, be nice, and never actually text them after you leave. Telling off your coworker and making them feel awful is just a waste of your time. Chances are the coworker was also just being polite and wasn't actually trying to maintain a friendship.

Funniest Anarchist Memes for Victimized Millennials Who Can't Stand Another Day in the Workforce


The work world has changed quite a bit in the last 30 years. Many millennials believed that if you went to college, you could get a high paying job just like that. Maybe this totally used to be true, but now here you are, wasting away in some cubicle making (barely above) minimum wage, staring at spreadsheets through your blue-blocker glasses, wondering if there is more to life than living and dying at your desk so that your boss strut around the water cooler and your CEO can drive a Maserati. Those anarchist thoughts really start to set in by the end of the work week, especially when you're on day 847 of 'getting this bread'. No amount of coffee can open your eyes at this point and the thought of quitting on the spot and starting a new life on the road in South America is starting to sound pretty good. The only thing that would make your job better would be if the building burned down and everyone still got their quarterly bonus. Salutations.

'You aren't his ATM': Dude refuses to lend money to overspending brother, but their mother disagrees


One guy posted his recent family drama to Reddit, asking if he really needs to be responsible for his brother's complicated financial situation. As he wrote to r/AmItheA******, this guy explained that he and his brother are both adults with families, but the ways they spend their money are quite. For the OP, living with kids and a wife, he tends to be more conservative with his money. 

He decided to use a chunk of his money to add a plush bathroom to his house. If you've ever lived in a house with only one bathroom, you totally know how difficult that can be. Two bathrooms for four people seems about right. But the OP's brother feels entitled to the OP's money, putting them in an awkward family squabble. 

In this next article, one woman asked for advice regarding her friend's posts on social media, which sound suspiciously like her own life experiences.

'Nuke her unethical career': Woman catches friend "mimicking" her on social media


On a throwaway account, one person with physical disabilities asked what she could do to stop her friend from "mimicking" her condition. In this disturbing story, the OP asks for advice, and people nearly unanimously agreed that OP needs to cut her losses and RUN from this so-called friend of hers.

This woman wrote to r/AmItheA****** to ask about an unfortunate development in her friendship with an influencer, "Janet," who is "very prominent on social media, and often discusses her disabilities very openly." The OP noticed that every time she mentioned her health issues to Janet, Janet would suddenly have those same symptoms. Janet would share that information with her followers, making the OP super suspicious about Janet's actual "chronic hand pain." Hopefully the OP listens to the commenters, who gave her advice on how to either troll Janet or cut her out of her life forever. 

Next up, get a glimpse into the jobs that sound super fun but are actually kind of dull, like being a park ranger or a Google Street View driver!

‘I quit on the spot and found a better job:’ Toxic Boss Disrespects Employee for the First and Last Time After Employee Epically Quits and Walks Out with No Regrets Mid-Reprimand


It's 2023, y'all, it's time to not take any crap from your employers. Oh, they're yelling at you and gaslighting you and making everything your fault even though they have been nothing but unhelpful, disrespectful, and just right out a jerk? Well, you stand up and GTFO of there. Stand tall, say your goodbyes, and walk on out with your head held high. You deserve better than selling your soul to a person who sees you as gum under their shoe. Sometimes it's better to work at a Chipotle with coworkers and managers that respect you than it is to work at a fancy pants company that treats you like you're garbage.

That is what one factory worker did recently and shared his epic quitting journey on Reddit. Long story short, a new boss came into play and instantly had it out for this factory worker because he stuck to his efficient ways of working rather than conforming to what the new manager said because he had no idea what he was talking about having just started working there. The new manager started yelling at him like a child throwing a tantrum after the employee told the manager's secretary that he can just email her the paperwork needed, since he doesn't have a printer at his station. 

In the midst of this disrespectful unwarranted reprimand, the boss basically said it's his way or the highway. The employee took a few seconds to think about it and decided he'll take the highway then, thank you very much. He walked out with his head high, even though he was nervously walking onto the path of unemployment. But to add salt to injury to the horrible boss, the now-ex-employee quickly found a new job that was closer to home, had better hours, and better pay.

Service Industry Employees Share Their Hilariously Embarrassing Communication Fails


We've all done it. That moment when your brain seems to automatically reboot without your permission. Like your brain needs a good unplug and plug back in again and you say "you too" to the waitress giving you your meal. It works both ways though. It's not just as a customer struggling to form words with your mouth to the employees, but it is also the employees who struggle sometimes. When you're tired, overworked, and/or lacking in sleep and you're working and someone ask's how your day is and you say "no thank you" or you accidentally end a phone call with a customer by saying "I love you." It's all too much to bare. You want to bury yourself in a ditch, but you also cannot stop laughing. It's such a silly slip up that it's hilarious. You first feel shame and embarrassment fill your body and you just want to hide. But once you have some time to sit on it, you laugh so much about it you start to cry. 

Well, one servicer industry employee posted a video confessing how she accidentally said "this messica is for jessica" and it haunts her to this day. This video went viral and hundreds of thousands of other service industry employees have flocked to the comment section to admit their hilarious communication fail and it is top notch comedy.

'I gotta use the bathroom': Interview candidate learns how low salary is, asks to use the restroom, gets in car, and drives home


I think we can all agree that Jessica is an icon. She found out in an in-person interview that the salary for the position was changed to $3.15 lower than the agreed-upon rate. When she inquired about it, the interviewer said that since she was already here in the office, Jessica "may as well take it." 

 

Well, let's just say that Jessica did not just take it. Instead, she asked to use the bathroom and ghosted the interviewer immediately. According to her friend, who shared this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, Jessica is notoriously bad at confrontation. She might not have been intending to be an absolute icon-in-the-making, but that's what wound up happening.

'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.
