This guy has got to be one of the dumbest cheaters ever! Not that we support cheating of any kind, but the fact that it did not cross this dude's mind at all that syncing his photos with his fiancé's phone would mean that his many photos with another woman would reveal themselves is baffling to us. This proves our firm stance that the only thing dumber than cheating is sloppy cheating.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Sereous313, who was working at Best Buy during this entire meltdown. The Redditor came across the photos himself as he was doing his job but tried to signal to the guy that it wasn't a good idea to sync all of them right now. The guy, impatient and snobby, assumed that the Redditor simply didn't want to do his job and insisted that the photos be synced immediately. Cue malicious compliance!

    Font - Hurry up and sync the phones we have to leave! Okay.. but the woman in your pics don't look like your fiance. M OC Several years ago, I found myself known as bestbuy on in a blackfriday, this was the first year they made us work on Thanksgiving day. The mobile area where hoardes of greedy shoppers is where I was sentenced, people as far as the eye can see all standing and starring a hole in me. I'd done several set ups and my next couple (mid 20s) came forward. As I cant leave, I get to h

    Font - The guy had already been making rude comments about the wait, the cost of accessories, and getting on my nerves. We used to have a machine that we hooked to phones and it transfered all the data to the new phones, well it didn't get the memo we worked today and broke a few hours into our shift. I take the woman's new iPhone and set her up by transferring her data from the old phone to the new phone. It's been about an hour at this point and I'm ready to set up guys phone and he hands it t

    Font - I snicker as it's none of my business and continue loading everything to icloud . Now the fiance has gotten bored and wants to go and she's complaining about how loud it is. The guy starts yelling at me to hurry up and really pissing me off. Throughout all of this I remain calm and finally get all his stuff over, I let him know I didn't link his fiance to the icloud account and he can do that himself. He gets upset and tells me I'm not doing my job. Cue MC

    Font - He tells me to sync the shared albums on icloud bc they have to go. I tell him trust me you should do it yourself. He grabbed the phone and did it himself. He hits share and all hell breaks out when his fiance starts to see all the pictures of him with this other woman. She screams for a solid minute, he said I put the photos of this woman on his phone. He has no answer for the woman he's in the pictures with. She storms out after throwing her ring somewhere in electronics. He looks at me

    Font - jamuzu5 11 hr. ago · edited 11 hr. ago I once had to help a workmate get his pictures off an old work phone. "I'm not going to see anything bad am I?" "No, just the important stuff: Fish and bogged trucks." And it was! We worked for an earthmoving company, so the bogged trucks were all work. Fishing was off the clock.

    Font - reddimus prime 11 hr. ago +1. I'm so glad that retailers are moving away from making employees work on Thanksgiving day. No one except for essential workers like ER physicians, firefighters, and pharmacists should be asked to do so. If they choose to work on a holiday like Thanksgiving, they deserve to get that extra bonus pay.

    Font - Sereous313 OP 11 hr. ago I know right! I doubt it will last though, those retailers are greedy af. When people show up on thanksgiving and expect it to be fast are the worst people to deal with. You knew it was going to be busy! I wish we could choose, it was very clear if you didn't come in you didn't have a job. No exceptions at all.

    Font - MORXIS 7 hr. ago I sell phones for a big box retailer in Australia. I don't set up phones or transfer data, because we get blamed if something goes wrong. And Apple is so reliant on iCloud that it takes hours to update and sync.
