Redditor Who Is Having Issues With Roommate Gets Revenge On Them - By Doing Exactly What They Asked Them To Do

We're back here again with yet another amazing Reddit post that we'll be dissecting and looking into. This thread is the Malicious Compliance thread, which is where people go to talk about situations involving something that someone's asking them not to do, which they abide by, even though it makes that person's life a little bit worse.

So, in this case, we're looking at a post where someone is talking about how the roommate wants to talk to the landlord about some problem in their apartment but doesn't want OP to call the landlord since they want to do it themselves. However, when OP calls them about something different, they come and fix the issue; OP's roommate is even more mad that they didn't fix the problem that she was upset about.

Obviously, that's because she never called to tell the landlord and because she wanted to do it herself so badly; OP didn't mention it to the landlord at all when he came to fix something else. This situation is just too good because it's petty but harmless, and it clearly made her very upset.

If you're interested in hearing the full story and seeing the whole original post, then keep on reading as we dive in and check out all the comments and the full post.

OP starts off the post by explaining that they are the one that always used to call the landlord to report problems that needed to be fixed.

Many people were pretty proud of OP for handling it the way she did because it's pretty funny to see how the roommates own choices upset her.

This is something that we agree with too, even outside of this situation, because some people are always angry for seemingly everything.

Some people even came to the comments to talk about their own tenants that are causing problems that are a little bit similar to OP's.

OP says that she enjoyed the time when her roommate was upset and locked herself in her room.

This is obviously the whole point of the story because if she did call the landloard then the issue would have been fixed, but she didn't.

Yeah the whiny roommate seems to be more of a problem than the landlord or the apartment problems.

We love hearing about different roommates' stories and seeing what people say about their malicious compliance. This thread is always so fun, and the stories truly don't even disappoint.

Have you ever been in a situation like this where doing something someone asked you to do actually made them mad?
