'Do NOT interrupt when I'm talking... Ok': Arrogant boss makes a fool of himself after disrespecting an employee when they turn a snappy command into an embarrassing encounter with the boss's boss's boss

Never mess with the people in charge of your work calls–you never know who's going to be calling. 

This disgruntled employee turned malicious compliance into a spot of harmless revenge in the workplace after their boss made a snide comment. Taking their 'command' seriously, they caused an embarrassing encounter that will certainly teach their boss not to be so literal next time. 

If one of the higher-ups at work makes a belittling comment in the workplace, employees aren't very stoked about it. Cursing the name of their managers and supervisors on their break, employees are not happy when leadership relies on intimidation and ruthless commands; it rarely inspires loyalty in the workplace. So when this worker in our next story got the snappy command to 'never interrupt their boss again' they took it seriously, even when the boss's boss's boss was waiting endlessly on hold. 

I'm just doing what you asked, boss! Keep scrolling for the satisfying story of work revenge that starts and ends with a very brief phone call.
