This manager may have been irritated, but the rest of us can applaud this customer's success at bending the rules for his own gain. Sure, finding loopholes and using them to one's advantage can sometimes lead to unruly behavior, but this time, the customer achieved something most shoppers can only dream of: a loophole within a store's strict return policy.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/dubilendar, who shared that he had just bought a series of items from a nearby store only to learn from his wife that he should go back and return a few of the items he purchased. It had been less than 20 minutes since he bought them, but apparently, because he physically left the store, he couldn't return the items. Instead, he could only get a voucher to buy something else for the same price, despite the fact that he didn't need anything else. 

We have all been here before. However, not all of us are able to think on our feet like this customer. Keep scrolling below to see how he managed to get his money back in spite of the bogus return policy.

If you're in a customer service position, you deal with all types of people. You meet some folks who are super friendly and bubbly, especially if you're working at a tattoo studio, like these people are. Many people are thrilled to be getting tattooed—they might have planned out their design for quite some time, so they're excited to finally be putting the ink on/under their skin. 

Other people have a bit of an attitude problem, as the folks on r/TattooArtists will tell you. Instead of being excited and grateful about their new skin artwork, some people show up and feel entitled to treat the artist however they want. Some act bossy or impolite, while others think it's okay to show up a half hour late to their appointment. 

A bunch of artists shared that they've had their fair share of annoying customers. Sometimes the artists couldn't hold in their frustration, and the customer heard! At least in many of these stories, the client didn't seem too perturbed. I think some customers realize that they're being a little over the top, but then they don't know how to back down while also saving face. These artists have the patience of saints!

It turns out that entitled customers are willing to go far for their extra ketchup! This Karen had the audacity to throw two ridiculous tantrums at the same McDonald's establishment within a short amount of time, as if the people who witnessed the first outburst would have suddenly forgotten. The result? She ended up in the back of a police car and wound up getting into way more trouble than she anticipated.

The first temper tantrum involved not having the right amount of change to pay for her food. This McDonald's was in a European country where euros were only accepted in bills and not coins. This was apparently standard throughout the country, but the Karen customer decided to take an entire country's policy out on an unfortunate employee. Her second outburst involved not getting the extra ketchup she asked for. In the process, she ended up accusing an employee of outlandish behavior simply because he misheard her. And, of course, she made a scene and held up the line.

Keep scrolling below for the full consequences of her actions. For more stories like this, check out this post about an entitled Karen neighbor in an apartment complex.

"My lease clearly states that all water-related issues are management's problem. I don't pay for water or gas utility, it's included in my rent... I'm perfectly capable of fixing the issue, but out of spite, I refuse to. I had a small leak at my house once, and it drove my bill almost $100 for the month over normal. I figure at least $1000 in water has literally gone down the drain, not to mention, the water is also being heated by the gas water heater."

Some people think that feigning ignorance and waving their entitlement around would get them far when in reality, it just makes them look bad, or even worse, it simply encourages people to write stories about them on Reddit. Much like this hotel guest, who tried getting her way even when she absolutely knew she was in the wrong. 

The hotel's front desk clerk was working a night shift when a woman approached and asked to check-in. When the clerk tried to do so, they saw that the woman's reservation wasn't until the next day. The woman, unfazed, said she would just stay the night right there in the lobby and refused to listen to the clerk when they told her it was simply not possible. This led to a whole dispute between the two and resulted in the woman being forced to leave.

This dude had the worst first day at work ever, as his manager can tell you. I mean, you have to be a memorably bad worker to get the boot after a single eight-hour shift. 

Poor u/LazerMoonCentaur was a manager at a cafe, and one day, they got stuck with the least competent employee ever. They write that this dude made a bad first impression by showing up to a shift at a cafe a whole 90 minutes after his shift started. I'd think at many places, being that late on your first day would be enough to let someone go. But this person kindly let the new employee work despite his tardiness. That was a big mistake, as you can check out in the story below. This guy couldn't do a single thing right! 

Some commenters speculated that this new employee was acting out on purpose, and that he was trying to lose the job on the first day. If that's so, he's not just dumb, he's totally uncaring about other people! The cafe's customers deserve better than Kevin's zero-effort work ethic. 

Next up, these people shared stories of the most tech-illiterate people they know like the person who had to show someone "multiple times how to open Excel." 

Hey, friends! Calling all cat lovers! We are utterly captivated by the sleek grace of black cats. This is nothing new, but every so often we need to reemphasize this fact. Their inky fur and enigmatic eyes, sparkling with secrets, hold us in thrall. The nickname "void" suits them perfectly – adorable black holes stealing our hearts. Like furry ninjas, they stalk the house, leaving us to guess at their next mischievous move. Mysterious, cute, and utterly captivating, voids of purrfect chaos reign supreme. 

We, their devoted humans, can't resist gazing at them and being instantly transported to a world of feline enchantment. Sometimes, we even imagine ourselves as witches, casting spells with our loyal black feline companions at our side. The ultimate familiars, these ebony enigmas hold us under their spell and we are totally okay with being forever in their trance. The current situation calls for a code midnight alert, prepare for a vibrant rendezvous of voluminous voids flaunting their luminous black cat mystique.

In jobs and industries that operate off of shift work "The Schedule" is hailed by management as an ancient relic of extreme importance—and not as if it's a document they threw together at the end of last week, days after it was supposed to be posted. 

No, there wasn't a lot of thought or effort that went into drafting that schedule, but there sure as heck is a lot of thought and effort put in to make sure you and your coworkers keep to it… Since making this schedule is part of the manager's job, you'd probably expect that it would also be their job to find coverage for it when workers can't make a shift or call out sick. Yet, somehow, nearly every shift manager sees fit to force the workers themselves to call around and find coverage.

As a rule of thumb, once you've traded a shift with another worker, or they've agreed to otherwise cover that shift, that shift is no longer yours and no longer your responsibility. Still, there will inevitably be some murky situations where the coworker who was supposed to cover the shift forgets about it and claims that it was not, in fact, their responsibility, leaving a disgruntled manager who displaces their wrath onto the original shift owner.

That's basically what's happening in this thread, which was originally posted to a popular online workplace community. This young worker traded their shift with a coworker who no-showed to the shift, landing them in hot water with their manager.

Hey, homies. Ever get tired of the whole "crazy cat lady" stereotype? Us too! Let's debunk that myth right meow. Cat lovers, and yes, that includes women who adore these felines, are perfectly rational beings. Sure, we might concede that our feline overlords hold a certain sway in our lives. They orchestrate feeding times with a well-timed meow, and let's be honest, who can resist those pleading eyes? Not us, nope not now not ever. 

Cats are the most curious and cute creatures we human feline enthusiasts could be so thrilled to get to know. They march to the beats of their own little independent drums and we have a feeling they could run things a lot better than those goofballs we've got in government right now. Now, to celebrate these magnificent creatures, behold! A collection of hissterical cat memes that purrfectly capture their feline superiority. Prepare to be amused!

Hotel disputes aren't uncommon, and dare I say it's usually the guest who starts them? Imagine working your shift, minding your own business, when a guest comes right up to you and demands a full refund because they are in fact, leaving now. The thing is, you just checked them in, 45 minutes ago. You know you can't give them a refund… It's against the hotel's policy. On the other hand, you don't really want to start an argument, and anyway, it's late.

What would you do? Well, this front desk worker who also happened to be the manager, didn't give in to an entitled guest's demands for a full refund. They had checked in barely an hour ago and had used the facilities. If you use the product, it's yours, or however the saying goes. Scroll down to read a very messy tale of events, and then check out this employee who quit after the company failed to provide them with safety equipment.

If this story is proof of anything, it's that nothing should hold you back from chasing your dreams, even if you are a very chocky cat whose dream is to catch a lizard that got underneath your owner's desk. See, chonky cats do not care about their chonkiness. They do not try to de-chonk-fy. They accept themselves as they are, and more than that, they continue asking for more food even half a minute after they finish a fresh meal. 

Being chonky does not stop these cats. And it should not stop you either. Because chonky cats just means that there's more cat to love, and we love each and every inch of our cats. And if those inches somehow manage to get under the desk and fulfill their dream of catching a lizard, well… thankfully, this person caught the lizard fast enough to release it and ensure a happy ending to this story.

This is what happens when teachers are not paid fairly. It's no secret that your average teacher is forced to take on a number of tasks and responsibilities that go well beyond their job description and salary. The reality of the matter is that without their extra free labor, students and teachers alike will not have the proper materials for class to run smoothly. 

Naturally, this lack of fairness can lead to a whole lot of resentment from teachers who are taking way too much time out of their already busy schedules to do even more work and, in many cases, spend their own money to get it all done. Here, we have a teacher who was expected to install software on each of his students' computers so that lab could run smoothly. This meant three extra days of unpaid work each time the software needed to be installed. IT refused to pitch in, and the administration was, of course, no help at all.

Eventually, this professor had enough after 17 years of this madness and decided to enact some well-deserved malicious compliance before leaving this institution forever. Keep scrolling below to see what happened to that software. For more stories like this, take a look at this post about a sales ops director who left because of a lazy Karen.

Working at the front desk, you get to see a lot of different guests in your lifetime. It's hard to keep up with the complaints that people have, it's ridiculous. Some people want a discount because the room wasn't the right temperature when they entered. Other people want a discount because you didn't smile enough. Then again, some people don't even want a discount, they just want to make you miserable. Honestly, I'm so glad my customer days are behind me… I don't know if I could put up with it anymore.

This hotel employee met the type of person you try very hard to stay away from when working a shift… this guest was a liar, and also a thief. She tried to get the employee fired under false pretenses, but luckily, the employee was able to bait her into being honest about her intentions.
