Manager Tried To FLEX, So I Got Him FIRED! - r/MaliciousCompliance Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back to Karma Stories! Today we're diving into some epic Malicious Compliance where out-of-touch bosses and micromanaging relatives get exactly what they asked for. From weaponized sick leave to malicious time-tracking, these people knew exactly how to play the rules against the rule-makers. I even spent way too much time learning three words in Welsh just for this episode, so be sure to let me know in the comments how badly I butchered the pronunciation!

Show notes

Welcome back to Karma Stories! I'm Rob, and today we’re diving into the absolute wildest, most facepalm-inducing stories from r/TalesFromTechSupport.

He Left Me For A COWORKER, Then Asked Me To Be His BACKUP? - r/Marriage Mar 21, 2026

Show notes

You will not believe the audacity of the husband in today's r/Marriage story. For six years, this wife played the role of maid, mother, and emotional punching bag to a man who couldn't even make his own appointments. She gave up her own identity to build his. But the moment he secured a high-paying job in a new state, he decided he was "healing" and that meant replacing her in the most humiliating way possible. The way he tries to rewrite history at the end is guaranteed to make your blood boil.

Let me know what you think of this heavier episode in the comments. Should we cover more wild stories like this?

BOSS Pushed Me Around, I Made Him PAY $30,000! - r/ProRevenge Mar 21, 2026

Show notes

Rob reads two Pro Revenge stories from Reddit. In the first, a teaching manager leaves a prestigious digital art school after escalating abuse from an unstable boss, then reports the school for widespread use of pirated Windows and costly software; years later, the ex-boss sues over alleged course theft and an “NDA,” but the judge dismisses the case and orders him to pay the legal fees. In the second, a trans woman is thrown out by her parents and financially sabotaged, so her sister-in-law retaliates by helping her employer replace the father-in-law’s lucrative supply contract, timed during a major renovation, which forces the in-laws to sell their half-torn-down house to keep the business afloat.

HOA BANNED Balloons, So I Unleashed the FAA FURY! - r/F***HOA Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Rob shares several FHOA stories about HOA overreach: a surprise Spanish warning sign installed on a homeowner’s garage raises issues of who controls exterior walls; a longtime family property is grandfathered out of a huge surrounding HOA and resists pressure to pay dues without risking being pulled under HOA rules; an HOA president/board tries to stop hot-air-balloon landings and bans “aircraft” by board rule amid insurance concerns and federal-law implications; a four-home HOA cuts services and claims it disbanded to drop fees; and a dead pine-tree violation leads to a dispute after someone appears to have trespassed to photograph the tree.

Boss DENIED My Shipment, So I Cost Him THOUSANDS! - r/MaliciousCompliance Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Karma Stories is packed with malicious compliance where bad policies and vague demands blow up fast: a “save 15%” logistics shortcut turns into costly port fees, a work-from-home employee turns a pickup rule into wasted work hours until shipping returns, a call center overcorrects on desk rules and chaos follows, a product launch data dump exposes leadership’s decisions, a designer makes a logo hilariously “more noticeable,” an insurance exclusion triggers a massively more expensive workaround, and a hybrid employee becomes aggressively “visible” until the manager backs off. Jump in for satisfying payback, corporate blunders, and consequences served exactly as requested.

His Creep Move Screamed DANGER! So I Took My Kid And RAN! - r/AITA Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

In this Karma Stories episode, Rob reads two intense Am I the Butthole updates. In the first, a woman in Kenya refuses to give her younger brother half her inherited land after he sold his own share to fund a business that failed; despite pressure from their mother and relatives, she and her older brother decide to keep their titled land, not let the brother build on it, and instead provide a monthly allowance to their mother and brother. In the second, a mother pulls her 13-year-old daughter from a sleepover after being disturbed by a friend’s stepdad’s behavior, then shares factual concerns with other parents; a group chat spreads the information, the other mom cuts contact, and the girls remain friends but the situation strains the friendship.
