Difficult customer severs ties with company, comes back begging for service

Never mess with the companies that provide you with essential services! In this instance, the essential service in question is water. This entitled and ungrateful customer had no idea that the water company her parents had been using for years was the best deal in town. So when she angrily called up the company making demands and threatening to sever ties with them if her requests weren't met, she very much got what was coming to her.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Controlled01, who shared that this family had already been difficult customers for quite some time. By the time the daughter threatened to take her business elsewhere, she was likely surprised when the Redditor's boss decided that this was probably best before promptly hanging up on her. Just as one would expect, once the daughter did her research and realized that this was by far the best and cheapest water company, she came crawling back for forgiveness. Keep scrolling below to see what happened next. For more, here's a story about an employer's ridiculous change in its PTO policy.
