Revenge may not be the healthiest motivator, but it can help! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977, who was an art history major in college and who was ever-so-slightly peeved when he received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Normally, I'd say this person is ridiculous and should have accepted the A-. However, once the Redditor confronted the professor, it became clear that the page length was the only reason and the paper itself was deserving of an A.
Cue malicious compliance! For the next paper, the original poster ensured that it was almost double the length of the assigned page minimum. Not only did this paper earn the A grade the Redditor clearly wanted, but also he ended up submitting the piece to a university journal for publication and it was ultimately accepted. Sometimes, malicious compliance and revenge can lead to happy endings!
