Here is a small one. For some backstory, I(17m) mow the yard every week. I get paid 25 dollars to do it, and it generally isn't that big of a deal. My uncle is a douchebag and I hate being near him. He will yell at me for the smallest things, and I get extreme anxiety around him.
Well today my uncle was over, and it is mowing day.i told my family that I wanted to wait until tomorrow to mow, and they said no. My family also wanted the grass cut lower than usual, which I started to do. Then, my uncle came over and started yelling at me for cutting it too low, and raised the cutter. He put it higher than the last time I mowed.
Queue the malicious compliance.
I started to mow the entire yard and weedeat/weedwhack the entire yard. When I came back inside I told my family about what my uncle said. I told them I was too afraid to say no to him because be would yell at me. I also told them that they would either have to deal with increased grass height, or pay me extra to go over it again. They told me to go over it again and they will give me extra, which I did. Thanks to them not listening I got 45$ instead of the usual 25$.
Like I said it was a small story, but I hope you guys enjoyed it.
