So this is a peculiar case. In this case I was the "victim" of the malicious compliance and the perpetrators was...my dog.

So bear with me. I was in my kitchen fixing dinner and my dog, Mona, kept getting under foot. Every time I turned around, she was right there. Clearly she was in an attention-seeking mood. Every time I told her to go away, she'd come right back. Finally, I lost patience and told her (not particularly kindly) to go to her bed.

She kinda slunk off and I thought I could finally finish working. Minutes later, I step back and nearly trip over her again. I whirled around to scold her, and found that she had quietly dragged her bed into the kitchen and was contentedly curled up in it right behind me. I couldn't even be mad...
