Amanda: "OP!"
OP (HAL 9000): "Yes, Amanda."
Amanda: "Get me out of here!"
OP (HAL 9000): I'm afraid I can not do that, Amanda."
XD Thanx, that hit it straight home^^
Heh, I read that in HAL's voice.
I so needed that now thats all I can hear
Good bot, HAL 9000!
😆
People walk up to the video store, see "Closed" sign.
People hear screaming and shrieking from inside.
People shrug and say, "Oh, they must have a horror movie playing inside."
People leave.
Amanda is still stuck.
even in the 90s it was illegal for Amanda to ban bathroom breaks
Technically, it is illegal to ban her from using the phone in all circumstances. Since that involves emergencies for medical/fire/police too. In fact, interfering with someone trying to call any emergency service is a Class A misdemeanor.
I don't even think she can legally fire OP either.
In my country, in most scenarios it's illegal to forbid someone to use the bathroom, especially for medical emergency's. EDIT: I just love how Amanda got hit one time after another by the Karmic Justice Hammer right in the face. XD
reminds me of an inhouse security guard in france that got fired and sued (and won) his boss cause boss said he wasn't allowed to leave the lobby at all during his 12hr shift🤔🤔😳😳👍😁🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
I know it's Illegal everywhere in Canada, the USA, the UK and Australia, I don't know about other Countries...
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan france as well, that's why the judge ruled in the security guards favor🤔🤔🤔👍😁👍🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
Karens/Kens do things that are illegal! News at 11!
It’s likely illegal in most countries: u less you’re in some illegal line of work, labor laws require employees have the right to basic health and sanitation needs like restrooms, hand washing facilities, and drinking fountains.
*Third Story:* That. Was. BEAUTIFUL! Amanda got everything she deserved and I love how her FIL actually agreed with OP and left her stuck in an elevator for five hours.
I would have left her there overnight.
My cackling at that one probably woke my neighbours!
@@Scarletlight525 I almost peed myself
I would have asked if he wanted to stop for food on the way there? Might as well make the most of it!
Malicious compliance turned into karmic pro revenge
It's illegal to withhold bathroom breaks in the US. OHSA (stands for Oh Shit if they come in your door) would definitely have a word with your company.
OHShitAmanda
It's illegal also in most Scandinavian
Countries to! Workers rights are really good here generally ..
Yes it does lol. No denial of bathroom breaks no uncomfortable working temp etc. The employer doesn’t want to hear from OSHA
Its not just an OHSA thing. I know a lot of people on the internet like to argue over Right-to-Work vs Union dominated states/industries, but I think a lot of people don't realize that there's a lot of workers' rights and protections across the board on both the state and federal level, regardless of Union presence. I had to take HR Compliance Training anually at a previous job, and depending on the year, anywhere between 25% - 50% of the content was "things you and the company are NOT allowed to do".
Story 3: The screaming of that banshee Amanda was glorious!
Story 3: Having someone get a job, especially of a manager position, because of nepotism is bad news for the workplace because that person usually is inexperienced for the role, which can tank a business quickly. At least Ken finally decided that Amanda was done once she pushed 20 miles over the edge.
True, but he probably needed proof, she definitely delivered!
Manager nepotism is pretty much the normal private (family-owned) companies, as that how the next generation of owners get their training for even higher positions in the company. public (stock treated) companies though have different rules having to post job openings.
In about 1998, I got a new manager (at a publicly traded company, not a family business) who was hired through nepotism by the department head. She was as incompetent as they come, but we couldn't complain. I was happy to be laid off some months later.
Inexperienced, potentially malicious, a potential liability, a potential lawsuit, a potential cause for your business to die, I'm sure there's more, but I can't really remember more off the top of my head
Oh… my… god. That story with Amanda was the most satisfying thing I’ve probably ever heard. Even better because she basically caused her own downfall- OP is my hero now.
That Amanda story is the best malicious compliance ever. I've had a boss or two like that, so I particularly enjoyed hearing this one get what she deserved.
Best one ever. Hope she did wet her pants.
OMG! I about laughed my ass off imagining Amanda stuck in that elevator for 5 hours while her father in law finished planting his flowers and then showered. Priceless! 😂😂😂
Story 1: what the heck did the lady think what was gonna happen? If you bring cash/change and purchase with cash/change, you're technically stuck there until it's all counted and the correct amount is confirmed (regardless of there being an automatic coin counter or whatever it's called).
Karens don't really think ahead.
@@silverflight01 they don’t think at all
@@BunchyPanther42 Sometimes they think but only after their noses have been pushed into the crap they've caused.
“Excuse me, but *you* are the one who went the petty route by paying in loose change… if anyone is to be accused of wasting time, it is *you* . It is my responsibility to assure that my cash drawer balances at the end of my shift, so I will be meticulous in counting your cash payment, regardless of how long it takes.”
And Karen paid for OP’s laundry for several weeks by leaving all those quarters behind… win-win.
@@silverflight01 Or even think at all. Karen's seem to lack the capacity to even think at all.🤪😜😝😋🤐
Story 3: This is the equivalent of; You're about to grab your Boss's hand and pull them up from falling off a Mountain, then the Boss Says "Oh by the way, you're fired"
and then you go home and let the Boss keep hanging around
Allow me to introduce, Death Becomes Her 🤣
"I'm calling the police!"
And telling them what? That the person you tried to screw over is taking too long counting your change so arrest them now?
Story 3 with Amanda was just “the stuff”! I’ve never heard something so satisfying!
Story one is a lesson: learn when to be petty. Timing is everything
The elevator one was hilarious. If truth is stranger than fiction, this one was doozy!
Amanda: OP GET ME OUT OF HERE
OP: what? I can't hear you I'm fired.
Amanda: BUT I HAVE TO PEEEEEE
OP:* puts on shades as the leave * 😎
(Dude this level of petty is GOD TIER)
Story 3: Gordan Ramsey would have nothing but praise for that MC; the flavor, the texture, the temperature, the presentation. Muah. *chef's kiss*
Story 2:
I was the dishwasher for a restaurant and I like to stay busy and help whenever I can. I was great at my job, so I could let dishes get backed up a bit and do other non-dishwasher tasks, like prep work for the 200+ item salad bar, or prep work for the appetizer bar. A new manager started and saw that I had left the dishwasher area and was prepping some salad bar items. I had maybe six plates and two racks of bar glasses to wash. I knew the bartender had plenty of glasses, so not an urgent need at that moment.
The new manager screamed at me for not being in my area at all times and lots of other comments. I tried to explain that I am quick at washing the dishes and able to leave early at the end of the night.
He informed me that I am to stay in the dishwasher area at all times and not leave until my scheduled 11:00 pm time. I normally was done with all my work by 9:45 pm.
I told him, if that is what you are mandating, I will obey.
He smirked and told me yes it is a mandate!
The salad bar people ran out of items, and no one had time to prep anymore. At 9:00 pm, I was done and watching everyone scrambling to finish the side tasks that I used to do for them.
11:00 pm, I punched out and went home!
The manager found out from the general manager about how helpful I am and he knows what I have been doing. I refused to help since I was JUST a dishwasher!
I did this for over nine months until I finally quit.
Hey, it's a mandate, you can't possibly go against that now, can you?
@@fhananis exactly! I was so glad when I quit. I actually went on vacation and only went back on the first day of my vacation to give my notice!
The blockbuster story. Man thats making me smile from ear to ear. It's so good to hear some pro revenge thats malicious compliance where OP basically does nothing without any effort. And off of what you said Fluff. Whats the saying? The butt you kick today might be the butt you have to kiss tomorrow.
To quote a line that Sigourney Weaver’s character in the movie Working Girl said, “Today’s junior prick, tomorrow’s senior partner!”
The people you step on on the way up the success ladder are the same ones you will meet on your way down.😭😩😵💀🗡️
The longest time I've ever had to hold my bladder at was 5 hours. It was because I was the only person at the till and there was a long line of people that never seemed to end. I finally just had to tell customers had to run to the restroom quickly and they were super understanding.
I later ripped into my manager for leaving me in such a spot without help. Thankfully it was the only time that happened.
Third story is the most beautiful tale I’ve ever been told. Seriously. What a wonderful world.
Story 3 is, indeed, a "delicious, malicious compliance" tale! It always amazes me that some people think the way to get someone to do something you want is to start abusing them. Usually doesn't work too well.
Oh. My. Cheesus!
Story 3 was one of the most entertaining and satisfying stories I have ever heard!
I don't know what I love most... Amandas claim that she needed to pee, or that Ken kept her punishment going! XDDD
lol iknow:) i was laughing at op's and kens conversation about him not leaving the plants half planted and needed a shower cause he didnt want to drive in his car all dirty lol
The Karen in the elevator: BEST MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE EVER!!! I laughed so hard I almost pissed my shorts!
Same here!!!! That was amazing.
Story 1: When OP said the dropped coins were "littering" and the Karen flipped her off OP should have then said "Don't worry...we will MAIL you the fine!"
Story 3: $7.50 an hour was almost double minimum wage back in the 90's...pretty good money back then. Also...breaks & lunch times are REQUIRED BY LAW...even back then.
But this MC is deliciously awesome...extremely well written...and I also got the Grinch curled lips smile on my face as well :)
Story 4: No where on the entire planet do any fast food restaurants have "fresh" as in non-frozen fries since they would be rotten before they even got delivered. What a douche.
A word on the fries, some places get whole potatoes, and put them through a fry cutter on site.
WTF? ALL restaurant chains use frozen fries unless they specifically specify they have home-made fries, like 5 Guys. Frozen fries are better anyway.
And even if they are home-made they will still be stored in the freezer to keep them fresh.
Homemade fries take literally hours to make. You have to cut them, soak them in water repeatedly to release the starch, then double fry them. He would have gotten them sometime tomorrow. Oh, and we don't have potatoes here, so I have to close down to go buy some!😆😆
First story: I think they just assume that they can drop off the coins and then leave you to count them. They don't think/expect the person to be all "Hey, you have to WAIT here while I count them all to make sure you've got the right amount."
Especially since no Receipt can be issued until the amount has been counted and verified correct...
And without the Receipt, there is nothing (unless cameras are watching the register area) to prove the Fine was paid so if they dump and run, Legally, OP could walk away with the coins and not credit the EP's account since EP has no proof they paid at all...
Not that I'm advocating that mind you, ESPECIALLY these days with cameras watching every cash register in existence...
In story 1. If you are going to do the petty coin payment, you must make sure your have the time and patience to follow through. 😉
I remember when I got written up because I went to the bathroom for 10 minutes because of diarrhea 🤣
Story 1: I work at a place that requires you to count out your money before handing it to the cashiers, since we're handed large sums of money daily. I can only imagine telling this Karen that she would have to count out her quarters before handing them over to be counted again.
Omg that video shop one was great lol 😝
Third story. That wasn't just mc. It was full on nuclear revenge. And Amanda did it all to herself. OP never needed to lift a finger.
Third Story: I would have backhand that b*** and quit, I wouldn’t even tried to fake being nice, my patience have it’s limit, especially when it’s being harassed at work, which is a law suit waiting to happen
That has to be the best malicious compliance story I've ever heard!
That 3rd story was long but beautiful!!! Omg that has got to be my favorite story so far lmfao
I feel the a-hole tax should be required BY LAW if you are rude. Granted, this could be abusable... but there HAS to be a way to do it.
STORY #3 DAMN OP IS A F-ING LEGEND that wasn't malicious compliance that petty revenge and pro revenge all rolled into one but I will say DAMN IT WAS FUNNY AS HELL
Woot! Fluff to the rescue!
When she's trapped in the elevator is the perfect to time to lay into her about how awful she is, how many laws she's violating, how utterly screwed she is.
No, OP just telling her she was obeying specific orders and so couldn't do anything to help was sufficient. Amanda firing OP and then realizing that was an idiotic move was the cherry on the top.
Honestly not sure how many laws were broken the 90s were weird
@@fishbowl5308 In the US, breaks have been required by law for decades. In most places, it's two 15 minute breaks and at least half an hour for lunch in an 8 hour shift.
No, taking the high road by remaining calm and polite ground even more salt into her wounds. Laying into her would only have justified Amanda's opinions of OP.
@@merlinathrawes746 Maybe OP could have been even more polite. Since it may be awhile until someone lets her out and Amanda seemed so knowledgeable about female dogs and love-making to mothers, OP could have put on an X-rated video at max volume so she wouldn't be bored.
Not being so nice, she could have put on a nature film that had a lot of waterfalls on the soundtrack, since she needs to pee so bad.
In the US in the late 80’s/early 90’s, we had several incidents of extreme violence at post offices, which earned all extreme workplace violence to be known as “going postal”. Basically, employees were micromanaged to the point that they were only given limited bathroom breaks of limited time and supervisors would time them and employees would receive reprimands if they took more than 2 minutes. This caused extreme stress in certain individuals, who would end up getting fired but returned to the workplace with a gun (yah! 2nd amendment making this possible). The post office had revamped all their policies when the Dept of Labor inspections revealed the terrible way employees were treated and this scandal hit the papers.
I worked as a Cashier at a Sams Club one summer and this one lady came up with a bunch of vending machine supplies (snacks and the like) and paid in Nickles, Dimes, and Quarters.... loose. Because the bank would have charged her to roll them. The total was about $90 and I had a ten pound sack of change to turn in at the end of the day.
My mom was a manager at Sam’s. Your tale is not unique by any means. Or paying for about $2k worth of goods in 5s 10s and 20s.
@@jamescaron6465 Yeah, I took my time to make sure my count was right, but the lady didn't seem to be phased. If it wasn't for customers like that and the Managers pushing the Plus Memberships and Credit Cards, I probably would have gone back the next summer.
Holy crap, and I thought this one customer I had at Villa Pizza was bad! I was working as a cashier there back in ‘99, and one day this customer paid for a large pizza in PENNIES. Yep, he handed me this Ziploc full of loose pennies and said it was enough. Didn’t even bother to roll them, either. So I had to stop what I was doing and count out all these pennies to ensure he had enough. Oh, and did I mention that this was in the middle of the LUNCH RUSH? Yeah, and by the time I was done and determined that yes, he did have enough, the line was stretching clear back to the pretzel place at the other end of the food court! I went home swearing to my husband that if I heard the saying “A penny saved is a penny earned” I was going to break somebody’s nose!
@@dragondancer1814 I do not blame you at all. Some people are real jerks 🙉😈😜😝🌩️💀🔥👹👺
Yeah, you don't pull the coin trick unless you have the time
While in the US you're required to take bills as payment, you're not legally required to take coins. Most stores will take coins because they're set up to handle large amounts of coins but places like where OP worked aren't.
"...but I have to pee..." :ChefKiss: the cherry on top! So beautiful.
Story 4: a Classic Malicious Compliance Story; Some idiot refuses food that's waiting and ready saying they want it "Fresh", has to wait like 10 Minutes (or more) for their food
And apparently he thinks the workers grow the potatoes in some back room, peel them, and slice them in-store.
But yet they want to have it in a minute or less
Story 3 was devious and super satisfying, you know it's bad when the boss decided she could wait longer!
That Amanda case was soooo hilarious 😂😂😂
.
OP, you are officially the sharpest & wittiest common person I know.
Elevator story: Bravo OP! Well played!
I have adhd,and for the longest time I had trouble trying to stay calm and concentrate on things ,but one thing i absolutely dislike in some people is that when you have an bad day or whatever ,and you take it out on others !! That says so much about you! If you can't hold your anger and feelings in general ,then you need to practice and try harder, because I'm going to be judging you ! And I'm not alone! I think people who can't control themselves ,are absolutely idiots,and childish ! The excuse that someone is having a bad/hard day, isn't in my opinion a good enough of an excuse and they should be embarrassed by everyone!
Well since being nice to me didn't work, all pretense of niceness was dropped as she proceeded to inform me of all my imagined faults and those of my parents, friends and any other relations I might have or think to have in the future.
Me: Gee, Project much Amanda?
Amanda: [Finishes blowing a gasket and proceeds directly into Nuclear Meltdown territory]...YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Me: OK [Clocks out and walks out of store to payphone and now that I'm not her employee anymore and thus not under her orders, goes to nearest payphone and calls Ken to inform him that Amanda will shortly be slapped with a Wrongful Dismissal and Workplace Harassment Complaint to the State Department of Labor because of [incident]...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
There were so many things that Amanda was fired for: Power Harassment, Verbal Harrassment, slacking off on the job, misuse of position, unwarranted use of phone, OSHA violations, bad attitude towards customers, etc. Honestly. I'm surprised she wasn't fired sooner. I hope OP got recordings of that incident. They could've sued Amanda.
I would not refer to leaving coins on the ground as littering, I would just think pocket change for me (if there's anything left after other customers pick up loose coinage themselves), after she's gone...
The story of Amanda is the perfect example of a line from No Country For Old Men that I always paraphrase:
"If the rule you created brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"
When it comes to lifts, there was an occasion that being the apprentice,my nephew was out helping our electrical engineer at a job. They both entered the building together, but he was sent to get some bolts for safety control covers in the lift. During that time security changed shifts. He left in ahurry, leaving his I.D. in his jacket with Geoff, the engineer. The security guards not recognising him wouldn't let him back into the building. Well Geoff went over the time he was allowed to work, so he gathered up his stuff and my nephew's jacket and went to sign out at the front desk. The guards on the desk said, "Oh, have you finished?" To which he replied, "No i am out of time, if you had let my apprentice back into the building two hours ago, we would have finishef, but now its too late. We will be back sometime tomorrow". They were stunned and embarrassed but there was nothing they could do. They told me this story and we all laughed about the idea of them doing their night time patrols having to go up and down stairs all night, even to the tenth floor because of their own stupidity. This was in London in the 1970s.
Shout out to he police officer that pays for the person behind him, what a swell thing to do.
That Amanda story was beautiful! Having a worthless waste of oxygen who doesn't know how to treat people stuck in a trap of their own making is simply delicious 🥃
Hopefully she learned her place 😈
People like her never learn.😈👿👺👹🔥⚡🌩️
Story 3: I cannot imagine anything more wildly illegal than denying a worker breaks or bathroom stops. Lady sounds bonkers.
192 quarters is roughly 48 USD so i wouldve gladly taken all of those for myself if i was op
That elevator story is hilarious! That "karen" really got what was coming to her for treating op so badly! Keep them coming Fluffy !😅
I love the story about the elevator. I laughed so hard I was crying.
Ken would have gotten earfuls from me over Amanda's behavior. I would have made it clear that his negligence in letting his daughter in law treat staff that way has consequences. Yes he did, EVENTUALLY do the right thing, but it was too little too late.
I hope the b**** Amanda was forced to get a job working for the public (just not in management). Amanda deserves the wrath of Karens.
On the story of the idiotic Amanda, op that was the greatest thing I ever heard. You did what you was told, stupid is as stupid does Amanda.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.😝😜😋🙉
Story 2: OP I really wish you got all of that in writing, because it would have freed you from ANY repercussions
Video store story: I think it's one of the most perfect Karmic events because EVERYTHING happened all at once. She ordered OP to not leave the floor, use the phone and then firing her. The stars were aligned that day. Add to the fact that FIL was in no hurry to rescue her was just the icing on the Karma cake.
The elevator on has to be my FAVORITE MC story YET. Priceless
Amanda felt her whole life flash before her eyes as she probably thought she would die in that elevator. That was the best malicious compliance ever. I smiled throughout the entire vid just thinking about that one. Totally forgot about the other stories. This will forever live rent-free in my mind.
"You're not to leave the floor for any reason, not even to go to the bathroom!"
I'd have said, "Um -- my bladder may take issue with that, and believe me, that'll be a losing battle!"
This is by far the best malicious compliance I’ve ever heard😂😂😂😂😂
For Story 3, it's another situation where patience REALLY pays off.
Story #3 Was GLORIOUS!!! IM CRYING!!!!
Amanda and the Elevator was incredibly funny. I have not laughed so hard at one of these stories as I did for this one. Talk about karma!
the elevator story might be the best reddit story that ive ever heard of
"I gotta pee !".....so do I now,from laughing so hard !!!
Story 3 had me rolling. When Amanda told me I couldn't leave the floor, cue malicious compliance. The next day I would have brought in a 5 gallon bucket, topped with a camping toilet seat from Walmart.
I absolutely LOVED the Amanda story!!!
NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HEARD THIS STORY ( #3 AMANDA) I STILL LAUGH OUT LOUD WHEN OP TELLS KEN THE STORY ABOUT BEING STUCK IN THAT ELEVATOR LOVE IT
I loved the video store story. Perfect vicious compliance.
The third story, was plain glorious
Ah, Amanda...you didn't think that through, b. Hoist by her own petard.
OP in story 3 needs to be a comedy writer. 🤣🤣
The Amanda story was most greatest story I listened to on Reddit. OMG! I never post on Reddit but this story takes the cake. I’m still laughing.
The that elevator story is so great something everyone wishes would happen to someone they know
I Imagine Amanda never felt so much humiliation as that day. Stuck in an elevator for 5 hours because of her own crappy behavior. She probably never even learned her lesson either. Just assumed that because she was the bosses niece that she would be able to cruise through on life without consequences and thought she actually had more authority than she had. Bet the walk of shame when she was fired really drove it home for her too. When you're an ass, you get treated like one.
Story 2: This is why I love my manager and owner. Albeit my manager is my aunt however the owner is no realtion. Our closing time is 9pm but our manager and owner are very understandable when it comes to closing times. We have a seasonal business so if we have “on days” it can takes us an extra half hour after closing to clock out because of the cleaning required and they’ll pay us for that and it’s also ok if we decided to close early due to heavy rains/lightning storms, because who’s showing up for ice cream when it’s lightning and pouring rain at 9pm?
I don't know if I want to shake my head or roll on floor laughing so hard about story 3.
Yay! I don't have to wait till the morning for Fluff's stories. Now I can sleep in peace. Love u Fluff! And Stevo too ❤️
We love you too!!
That person who is a in law to your boss; is a nightmare... And bad for business, hanging up on the customer and extremely rude
Happy Hump Day everyone
Op is awesome ! Loved the Amanda story ! 😂😂😂
Really funny thing about the Amanda story is how the boss sounded more like a dad dealing with his feuding kids and didn't give OP too much crap knowing what the spoiled child was up to.
It's illegal to deny an employee a bathroom break in the US. The employer can get fined and possibly face jail time.
On the first story, that was AWESOME.
Story 3: I've said this on another thread I heard this story on but I think it still applies because it's just that epic: When the clouds part, heaven smiles upon you and trumpets sound. 🤣
Last story: And did this fool actually roll up to a fast food joint and expect fries that were shucked and peeled right then and there? Frozen?! The nerve! Lol 🤦♀️🤪
That elevator story was even better then then one about the about manager forbidding cellphones while working, when the store line was down and locked herself in the walk in freezer.
I tested positive for Covid-19 today and have been feeling pretty crud. Thank you Fluff and Stevo for brightening my crummy day with one of my favourite types of video, Malicious Compliance!
Story #1: Heard this story before and loved that the Karen's Malicious Compliance actually backfired on her so bad, leave the MC to the OP...lol.
Apparently I can’t read so when I read the title, I thought it said “punched”. I was waiting for a punch, but never happened until I reread it. I’m an idiot, but it was still a really great read. Also, the son(husband) must’ve been high when he put a ring on that thing.
The OP that worked for the Mom & Pop video store? That one got me good!
1st story: The only time I paid with all coins was one year buying my daughter's school supplies.
By the fourth store we were down to small change, which annoyed the cashier.
