Not everything we buy works. Some things, like clothes, don’t fit. Other times, the item can arrive damaged, defective or just not up to our standards. But that’s what the refund policy is for. We can go back to the store (or send it back, if ordered online) and get our money back.
But it might not go as smoothly every time. This Redditor encountered a salty customer service clerk when he wanted to return an unused impact wrench. The clerk refused to issue a refund because the receipt was too old. Well, malicious compliance ensued as the OP managed to find a loophole and get even more cash than the impact wrench was worth.
Bored Panda reached out to the author of this post and was lucky enough to have a chat with him. The Redditor rajalreadytaken told us more about what prompted him to post this story on the r/MaliciousCompliance community. He was also kind enough to tell our readers what advice he would give to people in similar situations.
