'JUST DO THE TEST': Entitled customer gets into fight with technician and goes against advice, fiery compliance ensues

Whoever came up with the saying "the customer is always right" should be seriously questioned.

 

In this instance, we have an intense conflict between a technician and a so-called "engineer" customer. This guy went against the technician's advice several times and insisted that the technician perform what he knew would be a destructive test. The technician shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. He tried to explain to the customer that this was a mistake, even asking him to sign a form stating that he was going against professional advice. Nevertheless, the entitlement persisted, and of course, by the time the test began, the customer would ultimately regret his decision-making. 

 

I know we're preaching to the choir here, but let's all take a moment to remind ourselves that if we are hiring someone to do a job, it's probably because we don't know enough to be able to call the shots and do it ourselves. Keep scrolling below for the full story!
