Special requests are rarely taken seriously. When you're getting a haircut, asking for menu substitutions at the restaurant, or when you're begging the DJ to play your favorite song, it seems like you're talking to a brick wall. However, if you're a micromanaging boss with a particularly petty employee, you sometimes get exactly what you asked for…

In the case of u/A-Truckers-Thoughts, a freight delivery driver and professional petty crocker, he wasn't about to let the special requests from his least favorite manager go unnoticed. After several attempts to try and get him in trouble in the workplace, OP decided to follow orders to a T, which backfired immediately in her nit-picking face. 

Scroll for the entire story of malicious compliance to enjoy the finer acts of vengeance in life. After this, here's another look at some snarky payback in the warehouse, where a floor-stocking employee rage quits and reports his terrible boss to OSHA after his own pink slip incident.

    deliver to a residence you have to take a picture with the work phone as an additional proof of delivery. That has morphed into now if the delivery receipt (dr) says "residential" you have to take a picture of it, regardless if it's going to a business or a house. There are so many small details on a dr that can get missed so this is an important detail.

    One day last week I have a delivery for "Laura Lopez" (Name changed). It was being delivered to a construction company that Laura is an employee of, the Dr does not say it's residential. I make the delivery and leave, no picture.

    Next morning my of a supervisor says, "I have a write up for you." Puzzled, I ask her for what. "For the Laura Lopez delivery yesterday, it was residential." I explain to her that it was at a business and the dr did not say residential. She wasn't having it, I should also mention that her and I heads often and she's been trying to get rid of me for some time.

    I told her that we need to go talk to my manager about it, so we do, and he sides with me because she has no ground to stand on. This infuriates her. I tell her that under no circumstances will this be an issue again.

    That day is when I start my mc. I take pictures with the work phone at EVERY STOP. What happens is when I hit depart on the work phone it sends a pop up to her computer with the picture and she has to acknowledge it before she can do anything else on her computer, I crashed her computer 3 times that day. At one stop I took 20 pictures.

    I get a call from her telling me that I have to stop taking pictures. I politely tell her that I'm covering my and not going against policy. "I'm giving you an order!" I laugh and hang up.

    Sure as she wrote me up for it. I don't even argue, I say we need to take it to my manager. I walk in and he says, "what now?" I tell him the story, he looks at her, takes the write up and rips it up. "Are you seriously writing him up for over performing?" She had no words, and I still take a picture at every stop because I'm petty lol

    Ready_Competition_66 2h ago HE'S probably had it with her too. You were probably just the FIRST person to push back and now you've started a trend that management is noticing. It's not surprising she's at you but it IS surprising that she's stupid enough to keep fighting like she is. Keep up the good work!
