Recently, a story on Malicious Compliance went viral after a Redditor and worker from “the postal station from hell” shared an incident that happened while on duty. The author who goes by the handle TheExWhoDidntCare explained that she had a foot injury, which meant that “getting around is NOT easy for me,” while on a shift.
“Have a customer come in about an hour before closing, hands over two ‘Pick up your mail’ forms for certified letters,” the author wrote. As you may imagine, it wasn’t easy for her to move around to look for the letters in trays with hundreds of other letters like this. “So I hobbled to the longer-term storage area, about 10 feet from the door. I finally find both letters, and go to the window,” TheExWhoDidntCare recounted.
This is when the story takes a turn, because apparently, the customer was far from impressed for waiting three minutes to get his mail, which he said was “totally unacceptable” and now he wanted to speak to the manager. The author maliciously complied and set out on a journey to find the postmaster.

Many people thought how awesome it was to work for the post office and have a union behind your back
Others couldn't wrap their head around the fact the customer was frustrated to wait a mere three minutes for the registered letter
