I guess the guy in this story had a bit of what we like to call a “listening problem,” huh?

And you’ll see what I mean in just a minute when you dive in to this story from Reddit.

Read on and learn about what went down!

You ordered it, you deal with it.

“A calculating malicious compliance, happened years ago to a colleague.

He needed soil for his garden and had calculated that he needed 24 m3 (= about 850 f3). This was a regular terraced house, not a park or anything.

My guess is he had some 50 m2 of garden and somehow wanted the soil to be 50 cm deep.

Well, that’s not happening…

Of course the company flat out refused to sell it to him, explaining over and over that it was way too much.

He didn’t listen and eventually they settled on 12 m3 plus the promise that he could order more if needed.

Uh oh!

One fateful day the truck arrived and my colleague finally realized HOW MUCH 12 m3 actually is.

He tried – in vain – to stop the delivery guy and spent DAYS with friends with wheelbarrows trying to somehow get rid of everything.

It took quite a while before he could laugh about it.”
