r/Maliciouscompliance I Told a Customer's Wife about His Mistress!

- r/Maliciouscompliance OP works at a doctor's office and she needs to deliver a certain document to a customer. The customer listed his mistress as one of his contacts, so... OP called his mistress. The mistress comes and picks up the records. Later, the customer's wife calls OP asking when she can pick up the records. Uh oh... OP has no choice but to tell the woman that the mistress already came to pick up the records.

Diane in the first story should be terminated. It doesn't matter that its not a HIPPA violation, the fact is it clearly demonstrates her lack of integrity that she tried to cover herself by blaming her subordinate that way. If she worked for me, she'd be out of a job.
Agreed. Hell of an awkward position for that young woman to put in though
I don't know how to tell you this, but as someone whose parents both work in nursing, it is NASTY. My mum got framed for a death that was proven not to be her fault, but they still forced her out. However the chronic liar who supported a nurse actively abusing her patients is still present and actively gets rid of staff through bullying and frame jobs. This isn't just one hospital. My dad was bullied for years by a colleague, pay withheld, shifts stolen, etc. I've heard more horror stories both from other nurses, and reddit, but it's not uncommon to throw your colleagues under the bus.
@@JadeAnnabelArt I'm not really surprised
@@JadeAnnabelArt Just because it's common doesn't mean people shouldn't be fired for doing it.
Sadly being a horrible person is often not a legal reason to fire someone so rarely happens in big companies (like a hospital)
Doctors notes are always funny to me because in my experience the Dr will ALWAYS reccomend longer than the employee would have taken without it.
Also, the doc in that story is just all-around awesome! Righteous rage, ftw. She put the OP's manager in his place. *Firmly.*
Ah... Now if only the U.S. could adopt such protective labor laws...
I was once walking on a sprained ankle. (Didn't know it at the time cause first time it happened) anyway asked my boss for like 2 days off to get off my feet (retail so always on my feet) got asked for a Dr's note. Instead of 2 days I got something like 10 days cause I was already on that ankle for a couple days at that point. Lol
My boss didn't believe me when I called him from my hospital bed. My appendix ruptured after I got home from work and was rushed to the ER. My doctor gave me 8 weeks off, and I transferred to a wonderful position. Had a nice summer vacation!

The absolutely most unprofessional thing you can do as a manager or boss is to send threats of termination against your employees as a "joke". There is nothing funny in stressing out an honest worker about having their career future ruined over something they are legally entitled to, and these high-and-mighty a-holes absolutely deserve to be put in their place if they try to play off their hot temper as playful banter.
âIâm sickâ
âWith what?â
âSickness. Any more laws you want to try to break?â
" yes but I need a bottle of MTN DEW , a rubber chicken and toothpicks "
Telling someone to go to work even tho theyâve said theyâre sick and have given decent enough evidence. And that my friends is one of the reasons why weâre STILL dealing with the pandemic.
About a year before covid hit I heard a similar story about OP being forced to work despite telling theyâre employer they were extremely sick and I commented saying âthis is how a pandemic startsâ and sure enough here we are.
That's how my neighbour died, his coworker had covid and went to work and it spread it on my neighbour.
I used to work in restaurants and multiple times I was told to show up even though I was sick with a fever and other symptoms.
When I was younger, I did as I was told for fear of losing my job. And if I looked like hell, instead of sending me home, my managers would just make sure I was in the back where customers couldnât see me and complain. But in the back I was working *directly* with food. And sometimes I got yelled at for moving too slowly and washing my hands too often.
But as I got older and had more experience with this crap, I started telling my managers âfine, Iâll come in, but Iâm calling the health department on my way.â All of a sudden my manager was fine with me staying home for a day or two.
My last restaurant job I quit/got fired because I had the flu and called in, my boss, the GM, told me to âshow up with a doctorâs note or never show up again!â and hung up on me. Well, that job didnât offer health insurance, and I didnât make enough money to afford a doctor, so I just didnât show up.
The next day an assistant manager called to ask why I hadnât shown up for my shift and I told him that the GM effectively fired me and what he said. The AM growled and said theyâd lost 3 employees that week alone the same way because the flu was going around, but that he understood.
Counter to that story, people coming in even though they are sick, get told by colleges to leave, managers and finally do leave because of threat to fire them by the owner.
And report back two days later that it turns out they did have covid.
That's why I hate my places call out policy. If you call out from work too often, like say three to five times in the span of two weeks, you get a written warning. And to get rid of that warning, you have to not call out for 90 days!
This is a dumb policy during a pandemic no?
A lot of service jobs have call in policies that lead to wait staff, cooks, and bussers coming in deathly ill to keep their jobs. It's quite pitiful if you ask me but no one ever does. I even worked an office job and was told as I was leaving the hospital at 7 am that I better be at work or I'd be fired, the next week more than half of the office was out sick, I had a bacterial lung infection and was instructed by doctors to quarantine. My boss sent me home at lunch but it was too late.
The potato chip story is from Saratoga Springs NY and the the creator, George Crum was supposedly putting up with Cornelius Vanderbilt repeatedly sending French fries back. He finally got fed up, made them too thin to eat with a fork to get back at him and everyone loved it!
Oh yeah!! I loved that book
Yeah, unfortunately thereâs recipes from cookbooks earlier than that story with potato chips in them. Iâm from the Albany area, so Iâd heard the Saratoga story quite often.
I'm not too far from there! That's funny
@@MildredCady the first recipe was by a guy named William Kitchner and is recipe was published in his cookbook in 1822, the story of George Crum was 1853.
I've also heard the George Crumb story, though there are various version of who the guest was and some places ive been to suggest that it was linked to all the best known millionaires of the day. This said, The Commodore was known to be a frequent guest at the resturaunt.
Anyway a few more details- Crumb was the chef at Moonâs Lake House, an expensive restaurant on Saratoga Lake, where the area's wealthy came to play. The dish was not french fries as we think of them, it was potatoes "in the french style", basically potatoes au gratin and was one of Crumb's specialties. He was also notorious for his temper so when this guy (Vanderbilt or some other random millionaire) sent them back more than once, Crumb took it as a personal insult, hence his temper tantrum and malicious compliance.
Though similar recipies have been recorded before that, the story certainly increased their popularity.
Many years ago, before cellphones or even voice-mail, one of our directors was having a very public affair with a junior staffer. Since he was married they met at a hotel at the same time each week during office hours. One day his wife tried to call him but was told that he wasn't in the building. When asked where he was, his admin assistant said that he was always at a particular hotel at that time. Well, his wife wasn't stupid and threw him out. He tried to get his assistant fired but was told that lying about their boss's affairs was not something the organization paid admin assistants to do.
Besides, it isn't like he instructed you to not tell his wife, mainly because he would then have to admit openly to everyone working there that he was having an affair and that would get around; also looked down on.
The second story - we were on night shift. A colleague had been up all day "vomiting from both ends", often simoultaneously, and phoned in sick. The boss didn't like him, or believe him and he lived on the street behind the office, so he marched up there and knocked on his door. He was still feeling unwell, made it to the door and was sick all over the boss! NOW he believed him! Because of this unnecessary visit, instead of taking a couple of days to get over it, he went to the surgery and got a two week sick line
The pizza and chip stories have strong "task failed successfully" energy
Since Frank listed the Mistress as an emergency contact calling her would not be a HIPPA violation. GIVING her the images without an OK from Frank could be a HIPPA Violation. and telling the wife who the person listed on the emergency contact was would most likely be considered a violation.
While that could be true, my guess is if he listed his mistress as an EC, he also had her listed on the consent form to release any HIPAA info (aka PHI). I have my wife & mother as both EC & consent forms (even though my mom lives 12 hours away in the next state). I'm also gonna guess he listed his mistress because she'd be more quick to react and his wife might be too self-absorbed. Not condoning infidelity but, in some cases, it exists for a reason.
Y'know, to be fair, the OP of that story didn't even say that Helen was Frank's mistress- just that a woman named Helen was an emergency contact and had picked up the images.
It is a violation though. It's his list. Wife or mistress has no say as to who should be in his list. Op can't disclose who pick up or not. They can only say it was picked up. I am shocked Op didn't get fired and facing charges.

The manager Steve story reminded me of something from my office.
The rules have since changed, but it used to be that managers were expected to fight you on sick calls. You try to call out, they would insist you check in again at the halfway point of your shift to say if you are better yet. If you didn't call back, you got marked "no call/no show," unless you clarified you were NOT calling back. The worst managers would want you to check back an hour into your shift or something, making it impossible to rest at all.
One day I woke up feeling awful, took my temperature, and it 40C (104F)!!!
I called into work and told the duty manager I had a 40C fever. She responded I was needed and she had a fever too. All I could do was repeat "I have a 40C fever" I still can't figure out if she just didn't know how severe 40C is, or if she didn't care.
Well, YEAH, but the manager's FEVER was 37C! DUH!
The doctor from Story 2 was amazing. She could have just given a doctor's note, or refused OP and making them sort it out themselves, but no. She decided to get back at this douche manager.
With your comment in regards to the story of the surgery, I was thinking along the same lines. That his wife did a few things that required additional surgery then what was originally planned for Frank (I think that was the guy's name in the story... lol)
I can't help but feel that there is a double standard here.
I understand that Rslash and you were just making jokes about the violence that his wife might have used when she found out about Frank's girlfriend, of course. But if it was the other way around - a man finding out about his wife's infidelity and then injuring his wife to the extent she required surgery- joking about it would be considered very poor taste and inappropriate. Of course, we are all opposed to domestic violence - thousands of women are killed by their husbands every year. But, if we want to make progress towards eradicating it, we cannot continue to treat women's violence against men as if it is somehow less serious. A woman is very capable of causing major harm or even murdering a man. His infidelity is not sufficient excuse for her to harm him. TL:DR - We would not tolerate jokes about men hurting women, so we should not tolerate jokes about women hurting men.
@@ashleysmith1276 yes we may be joking about what could happen to the cheating husband. But I also agree you about the act of violence in either direction, should not be tolerated. For those individuals in the world who say that "a man should never put his hands on a woman, in anger" (which is true), should also remember the opposite, that "a woman shouldn't put her hands on a man in anger"
In reference to the first story... unless the Frank signed something saying that they can give his medical papers to Helen, it was a HIPPA violation. Being on the emergency contact list does not automatically allow them to receive your papers...
I used to have a manager that didnât believe me when I called out sick. Sheâd make me come in regardless, and wouldnât let me go home when I inevitably âthrew up at both endsâ at work. (I have stomach problems once every month or two.) Anyway, after I quit there I started taking pictures of my âsickâ every time. My new employer and coworkers were confused when I asked them if they wanted proof of my sick. It took one time for them to never question me again đ twice for the slow ones.
A dozen people eating one large pizza? As my father used to say, "Who gets to eat first?" A twelfth of a pizza would be one 30° slice. That's not a meal, it's a midnight snack.
well it's a half-hour before closing, so it's probably a snack
Depends on what constitutes a large pizza. Some places call a 12 inch diameter a medium, others a large. Some places reserve large for 18 to 20 inch diameters.
So the wedge might still be 30°, but the amount of food you get per additional inches of length is more than the previous inch.
The pool story reminded me of an old, Jewish joke:
A guy builds a pool in his garden and gets a visit from the local council complaining he had not asked for planning permission.
Guy: "It's a fish pond, so it doesn't need permission"
Council: "If it's a fish pond why does it have a filter?"
Guy: "It's for gefilte fish!"
âGefilteâ?
@@justin2308 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gefilte_fish
The last story is okay until you realize that there are now plants and animals to care for daily rather than a fence. I understand that it was done out of spite. And it's funny at first. But a fence may have been cheaper and easier. Maybe the guy likes having a pond. In that case, more power to him.
funny enough they can still swim in it, it's just a nature pool
The average cost of a pool fence is $6,500. With that said; prices can range from $1,500 to $20,000+ depending on the size and shape of the pool/area to be fenced and the materials the fence is made of.
Nah, I'm sure he did the $$ math. Probably wasn't much more than the monthly maintenance $$ he was already spending (after the initial $$ conversion).
Edit: Like someone said in another post; you can still swim in a fish pond.
With a "pond" that big and the addition of the plants, it is actually pretty easy to care for the animals. You just have to check the water levels, and do some monthly maintenance. Feeding them is the biggest expense and commitment at this point.
Source: Marine Biology Education and Experience with specializations in animal husbandry, fish biology, etc.; Aquatic Animal Husbandry Experience professionally (cared for over 100 rays, skates and sharks) and leisurely (saltwater fish, fresh water fish, axolotl, and small outdoor fish pond).
Maybe, just maybe, all those fish mysteriously died shortly thereafter. OOPS, no fish, might as well get rid of the vegetation, too.
@@CSKaras why would you need to at all? I have a fish pond that is self sustaining you probably wouldn't want to swim in that much though.
While the manager of the ice cream place was talking (loudly if I remember right) to the 16 year old work, in front of the jerk customer. (It wasn't mentioned, but).. I imagined that at some point while he was doing so... he had his back to the customer for a quick moment, so he could give the 16 year old worker a smile and a wink... so that she knew she wasn't in trouble, but that the manager was really mocking the rude customer.
At least that is what I hoped had happened, showing that the manager had his employee's back.
I gotta love the second to last story. OP was trying to teach the customers a lesson, and ended up making a pizza that they loved.
The first storyâs op confused me, I get how it might be uncomfortable but why wouldnât you out a cheater? Why are you doing summersaults to protect someone stupid enough to put both their wife and mistress in their contacts lost, something was bound to happen.
Edit: I totally understand that the patients info should be confidential, but op still shared that info with the wife, but in such a way that they werenât protecting the patients privacy but rather the fact there was another woman.
They probably didn't want to be the bearer of bad news. Depending on the person, they might not take the news well.
Edit: Actually, I doubt anyone would,but some people might "shoot the messenger"
Medical providers aren't allowed to reveal patient information to others. The 'cheater' might be able to sue and get major bank from the receptionist revealing the emergency contact.
@@Connor_McKinnon That makes sense, although it takes a very special kind of stupid to pull the "shoot the messenger" move depending on how serious or important the news in question is.
Because op legally can't. You can't, under ANY circumstance reveal patient info without patient permission unless illegal activity has occurred, in which case the info goes to the police. Op could have been fired for telling the wife about an emergency contact without the patients knowledge and when any person in the hospital violates HIPPA, finding a new job in the same field is damn near impossible... Stop trying to make op out to be some dude bro trying to cover for his bubby.
@@RiveroftheWither but op still did, Yeah I get why they were doing summersaults with it now but it seems that they were more worried about not outing the cheater rather than sharing confidential info. Seeing as how they shared it in the end and only were dancing around the fact the emergency contact was another woman.
The last segment gives a whole new meaning to the dark phrase, "Swimming with the fishes."
actually I have seen pools designed that way and I would love to swin with the fishes. not sure how the fish feel about it.
@@ninirossau2304 Indeed!
@@ninirossau2304 Probably crowded.
@@ninirossau2304 Some fish enjoy humans' presence. I've seen clips where fish swim up to the shore/dock/rocks specifically so their favorite human can pet them. I've even seen a clip where a fish had their favorite human pick them up and toss them through the air; the fish swam back for more.
As weird a concept as it may be, fish do have personality to a degree. Nowhere near as complex as humans, but it's real. Cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats... Lots of creatures have personalities. Don't need a super wrinkly brain for that.
Pretty sure telling someone (not the partient) who you gave his info to/who was on his emergency content list IS a HIPPA violation. Should have just said "I'm not allowed to reveal patient details without his permission" when asked who the results were given to.
I was thinking that too. Still love that cheaters get busted and served but just because you're patient's wife and patient can still make their own decisions (not in coma, having serious brain damage or other that they need someone making all the decisions in his life), they are not allow to tell all the contacts he have. Just telling that his emergency contact came to pick them up and that she can ask himself about more information that who the person was.
I once called in sick, got a doctor's note after thorough examination. That evening the company sent their own doctor, he looked at me from across the room, told me i'm not sick and i have to be at work tomorrow. His assessment superseded my original doctor's note that gave me a week off.
Told the company i'm taking my week, their doctor is a charlatan, and they should be grateful i'm not showing up to vomit into one of the 50.000$ machines they had me work with.
That second story was great, and good on OP for getting two weeks paid on what would have otherwise been only a few days off. Always love it when people have to pay an idiot tax for their stupidity. The manager should have just accepted that OP was sick, but instead he had to be a butthole and break the law.
I'm pretty sure fences around pools are for animals too, not just people.
When I was first married my husband wore a ironed shirt with a tie everyday to work. He started complaining that the crease on the arms where wrong. After he complained enough times I told him I would not iron anything of his. 33 years later Iâve never ironed anything he owns. Donât complain whenâs someone does things for you.

The chip story is true, I fact, the chips were so popular that the cook could barely keep up with the orders from everyone who saw them
Never antagonize those with the power over ones' sensitive areas... Especially, when they're packing iron or you'll face a starch reality.
I wonder if stuff like the pizza story qualify as "Entitled" though. I mean, they're asking for a service, usually nicely the first several times over, and the people in the restaurant aren't complying with their request. That can really piss a person off. Notice how after OP made their pizza right, they praised him/her to the manage, and left a tip from then on.
I don't like making a fuss so I usually just stay polite and never go back, but it boils my blood when I ask for something quite clearly, pay 5 times what it'd cost for me to make it at home, then get handed a subpar product.
Agreed!
And how were the employees supposed to know they wanted a charcoal pizza? How were they supposed to know that they wanted a pizza that looks and sounds inedible? Leaving a mess and no tip for 12 people eating one pizza is inherently a dick move.
@@NoFlyZone31 Oh, for sure, but thats not being entitled, thats just being an asshole.
I mean, if theyâre requesting a pizza from Pizza Hut and time and time again itâs not meeting their standards, maybe they should realize that Pizza Hut doesnât really have anything on the menu for them and they should try somewhere else.
I can tell you something about food service. If you show up at that time and are being a jerk like that. It is a good way to get spit or worst in your food.
And personally. I'm not a fan of people messing with my food.
The pizza and chips stories reminds me of a funny story my stepmom told me. She had a lousy first marriage. The guy was a cheat and a drunk who frequently left her so destitute that she lived for months eating nothing but popcorn. One morning when he was actually home with her, he told her he really wanted pancakes for breakfast. She was getting pretty tired of being treated so terribly and she saw this as a great opportunity for a little petty revenge. She decided to ruin his pancakes and refuse to make another batch. She mixed the batter, but added a full can of lemon lime soda. She thought the sodaâs flavor would make for disgusting pancakes. To her chagrin (but his delight) the carbonation made for extra light and fluffy pancakes. Instead of ruining his breakfast, she unintentionally made the best pancakes heâd ever had.
Regarding pool fencing... I had a $700 metal bar fence installed around the pool when I bought my house in 2003, because my girlfriend had a 4-year-old daughter. One day, I was on the pool side of the fence doing yard work, and she wanted to come see me. She grabbed two bars, shimmied up the fence and then down the other side while hardly looking like she put any effort into it. What a waste of money.
So, how long until you took her for swimming lessons?
First one (an old one I think you did a while back?) Could have been a major HIPPA violation if 'Frank' didn't give his wife unrestricted access to his records. Revealing any private patient information is a big no-no.
In the UK, you can self cert for 7 days, not 5 (maybe itâs changed since OPâs story, as they said it was during the recession). You donât need a medical note or proof that youâre ill
Rslash is love, Rslash is life
Oh god no no no shrek is coming
I honestly expected the pool to be drained and the father to call it a half-pipe or something else related to skateboarding.
I work as a cashier in a super market and I had a personal manager who thought it was a fine for me to be on till with D&V bug! I have a stoma and therefore a pouch - which would leak all over the place if I have the runs! So glad she was made to retire early due to restructuring!
This man sat in front of his _computer_ and tried to recall an internet story from memory đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Gotta admit that pool one irks me. As someone who almost drowned, and saw someone almost drown, those fence laws are there for a reason.
Yep. I was thinking are we supposed to applaud this?
Remember as a child hearing my parents saying that a toddler down the street drowned in an unfenced backyard pool.
I love malicious compliance it's like Christmas đ also I love the pizza story lol
Good morning everyone!

Oh god the flu story! Reminds me of the time when I didn't realise I had the flu (it hadn't hit me properly yet) and I had to go into work for a performance review (I was awesome) but when I got there I was all light headed and ditzy. I'm sure I looked high as fuck.
Review went well, but the manager kept an eye on me because I was looking and probably acting wierd. I left, got home and then promptly fainted. Woke up, threw up and then had a nice 24 hours of a temperature of 42c, fainting, hallucinating and disorientating behaviour.
I hate the flu.
I love that Pizza story. Sometimes you just have to wing it and see what will work. I guess in the end the customer wasn't entitled... he literally just wasn't getting what he wanted. đ
I hope that guy with the pool drained it and treated it to make it suitable for those fish otherwise those fish would die an agonizing death
Ok the last story was funny. I don't know how much fish and plants especially inside of something as massive as a pool but I'm pretty sure that is more expensive than putting up the fence. The dad would rather pay more to not build a fence just go piss off the inspector guy đ
I hadnât called in sick for 4 years straight and when I finally did, it was taken as a serious matter by them. And tbh it was really weird to not work a day Iâm supposed to be working.
Maan, you guys can self-certify for 5 full days in the UK? That is awesome, I wish we could do that. Would make short illnesses like a stomach flu or a really bad cold much less of a hassle.
Our company insists on getting a doctor's note on day one đ
Sometimes, malicious compliance actually makes the customer super happy. I've seen it happen before, and suddenly, a crappy customer turns into one who you actually enjoy seeing.
Oh, the last one is savage! Loved that!
I worked at a buffet in the bakery/dessert section and we literally had this one guy, full grown adult, act like a child about ice cream constantly. Literally every Sunday, he would bang his ice cream bowl on the ice cream case and snap his fingers at us until we would scoop him something, and he would never just say what he wanted, he would always point and if we didn't have the flavor he wanted out (we had 6 flavors but only kept 3 consistent and one rotated) he would just point to the back towards our walk in. It wouldn't be terrible if he always wanted the same flavor but it was different every time so when he pointed to the back you knew minimum you were making 2 trips with these giant freezing buckets of ice cream. I genuinely thought maybe this guy couldn't speak or something and was going to give him a free pass, but once he was there with his kids and was talking to them the whole time instead of telling me what he wanted! And God forbid we didn't have what flavor he wanted that day đ
Just learn some basic sign and sign while saying, "Sorry, sir, I will need you to either sign or write down what you want." When he gets made, "Just say, oh, so you can hear and talk, in that case, I guess since you just aren't on speaking terms with our business, we aren't conducting business with you."
I have pretty bad PTSD that prevents me from speaking in some situations (temporary mutism). If one of those ever occurs in public where I need to order something, I either write it down ahead of time or ensure someone else can order for me. I never act snooty about it (too terrified for that) and try to give an appreciative nod/smile to whoever takes my order. People who have legit disabilities know to prepare for going out in public. DHH and mute people often bring writing implements and paper with them. That's how you could know the snooty manchild wasn't a mute even before he showed up with those kids.
The pizza story kind of reminds me of my own pizza story. I was a chef for 18 years, before covid happened. My last job I was working by myself one night because my closer called in sick. I got a 13 top (13 customers at 1 table) they ordered a pizza as an appetizer, yes just one pizza for 13 people, and entrees to follow. They requested that the pizza be cut in to exactly 13 perfectly equal pieces. Annoyed I did just that cut it into 13 tiny slivers of pizza, barely 2 bites per slice. It looked absolutely ridiculous. Pro tip, if you're ever asked to do something this stupid especially with pizza put exactly 13 pepperonis all around the edge when the pizza is done cooking just cut your way right to the center.
The husband in the first story created a whole new level of stupidity I didn't know existed.

A new RSlash video! Now my morning routine can begin!
During the telling of the Second to last story, I was wondering "something tells me that this is a potato chip situation" and turns out was. Happy you mentioned that, so I don't have to feel alone. I mean I'm sure I wasn't the only one but the reassurance makes me happy
I was just thinking of another story he read about a customer who kept complaining he didn't get enough pickles so he basically got a burger that was more pickles than burger and immediately loved it
RE: potato chips
The legend is that the customer wanted them thinner (because they were too soggy) and saltier. This supposedly happened at a hotel in Saratoga Springs, NY in the 1850s, but thereâs recipes in 1817 for fried shaved potatoes.
(Iâm originally from the general area of Saratoga/Albany, NY so the legend is quite prevalent.)
With the chips, you have the nuts and bolts, but not the exact story. The guy kept sending his fries back ( they were house cut fries) because they weren't crispy enough. The cook finally got pissed, slices some potatoes paper thin, and sent them out. That was the birth of the potato chip.
Last time I was this early, Anakin Skywalker was still a virgin.
I've been to a race track in New York that had the potato chip story printed on their menu claiming it happened there. I think it was Saratoga, horse racing. Their clubhouse dining was upper class. Lots of entitled people.
The fact that this was his final warning suggests that he had a habit of sticking his foot in it. I wonder how much longer he had a job there.
That last story felt odd to listen to⊠idk which country itâs from. In aus, pool fencing has always been a pretty strict rule since as long as I can remember and with good reason. Maybe thatâs the difference though, having a safety law introduced would seem a lot more annoying than having grown up with it in place. I hear seat belts used to get a push back.
But seat belts are logical. Fencing a pool within an already fenced yard is stupid.
Genius Doctor! A friend of mine was bullied at work and felt very bad. He told the doctor, in Germany you often need a sick note from the doctor after one day. However, sick days are always paid and up to six weeks without restriction (simplified). The doctor wrote him off sick for two weeks, after that again for two weeks, after that again for a week due to psychological stress, followed by a conversation with the health insurance company and the info that he was being bullied hit HR like a bomb. After that he was left alone.
"Where's Frank?"
"In the hospital."
"But I saw him dancing with a girl last night."
"His wife did too"
yeah so as someone with OCD this is clearly over the top...I have thrown out clothes for less since even a loose thread can cause my body to freak out on me... so yeah I can see the brother getting back at her for being so ignorant of what he has to go through...actually the entire family seems to not understand the sheer agony of living with OCD on simply a day to day basis without others making it 100% harder...its called compassion and both sides should take time to see things from other side
I LOOOOOOVED that last story!! "He turned his pool into a fish pond??!! ...dangit...." ROFL!! GENIUS!
I always come back to laugh at the pizza story - those customers deadass just thought the restaurant had subpar food XD
that second to last story was super funny, love your content man
"... this is delicious compliance". Master of puns!
Lol. Pizza boy knows exactly how the guy who invented chips feels lol
Gotta watch that daily rSlash
Yessir
This is my favorite tea channel. Giiirrrll spill!
Not to mention the story about the potato chips, the chef wanted the man to have to eat with his hands (which wasn't a thing at that time) to embarrass him. It obviously backfired and... yeah, that's how we got potato chips
"Imagine being a full grown man whining about ice cream"
I had a customer who threw a fit and trashed my recently cleaned lobby by throwing his soda and chair across before storming out, because a customer before him (a regular) bought the last of our macadamia nut cookies for the night. Closing was in 8 minutes and it takes an hour to warm up the oven, bake the cookies, and let them cool.
I was too far done with food service at the time to react and just tiredly said "Have a good night."
His wife/girlfriend was horrified at his actions and gave me a silent "I'm so sorry," before following him out.
I said it ones. I said it twice. I said it a third time. I continue to say it. Be careful who you hire as a manager because some people isnât capable of being a manager and this guy who threatened op his/ or her job if he/ she doesnât have a doctors note just proved it.
Thanks for the stories rslash. Have a good Sunday
I though the last story would turn the pool into a garden lol, not a pond. Well played
Took me a wee minute there to realise you were talking about crisps and no chips lol
The second story wouldn't even be a story if it had taken place in America. OP would have had to come in sick or get fired, period. There's no way they could just walk in to a doctor's office, much less hold the company to any rules regarding sickness.
Whenever I see a video on malicious compliance, I get so excited lol
It wasn't a grown man whining about not getting enough ice cream, it was a grown man whining about too much ice cream
âItâs First OPâs fault! Just because he gave his mistressâs contact info doesnât me you have the right to contact her!!!â I swear, some people online can only get off by insisting theyâre always right.
This guy sounds like the bored cashier at a dominos on a Friday while his friends are out drinking
Ever notice all of the OPs in these stories are always the BEST employees, students, etc. They're never late, always the best at their work or studies. They usually always put themselves at the top of everything they do.
The swimming pool story is funny but I wonder if OP's dad could have thrown up a hoop shed or prefab greenhouse over the pool, both fencing it and making it usable year round?
The secret girlfriend story was funny af!
The doctor who wrote that not deserves a free drink whenever they go out
I hope OP posts an update about Amy giving Frank a massive earful and telling him he can pay for his surgery himself and Amy wants a divorce.
I think the first story could have been handled better. Ask Frank who is on his contact list, but I canât provide that information. This sounds like a HIPAA violation for sure.
Thank you so much for making my days happy and I really appreciate every single time you post your video. Thank youâ€
I love the ice cream one. Itâs funny and simple.
If they want it spicy just put some ghost peppers on it.
4:54 he wasnât working, he was eating Taco Bell! I mean, if heâs âthrowing up at both ends.â Heâs obviously eating Taco Bell because thereâs nothing else on this planet that will do that to you.
Also I want some of that friggin spicy pizza. Just not overcooked but hella spicy.
