I get what you mean, like an autistic person could probably accidently maliciously comply...even if it wasn't the intention. That being said I would not say I'd never willfully indulge in malicious compliance, but I could totally see doing it on accident to like taking something way to literally.

The Richard Petty Driving Experience operates out of Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The Petty family live about 80 minutes away in Level Cross.

I can't find anyone notable named Charlotte Petty, so I'm anticipating Charlotte is the place.

That sounds like passive aggressive behaviour and I have been passive aggressive in my younger years when I was in my 20s.

I've heard of "pathological demand avoidance" in reference to autism / adhd. That's where you won't do something specifically because it's a demand. Although that's different from malicious compliance.

It's more or less the opposite. I think of it as rebellion for those that excessively fawn. A way of sticking it to whomever by just giving them what they asked for, exactly what they asked for with no deviations for obvious issues in doing it.

I'll do it occasionally when I'm really annoyed at how dumb folks are being. Or, if I'm too tired to point out the important flaws in whatever it is. I think most people working for corporations do it from time to time due to bureaucracy.

Malicious compliance is not passive aggressive. It's a brilliant response to arrogant a-hole type people.

Yes, definitely different from passive aggressive. Malicious compliance generally does result in something happening. Passive aggressive behavior usually results in nothing at all.

Thank you for pointing that out. My vocabulary tends to be limited and I know nothing....NOTHING

I mean I don't know as much as the rest of you about human behaviour and the world as the rest of you.

I've looked for the meaning of the word and I've found it. I still don't get it. I must really be slow.

Malicious compliance

Malicious compliance is the behavior of strictly following the orders of a superior despite knowing that compliance with the orders will have an unintended or negative result. It usually implies following an order in such a way that ignores or otherwise undermines the order's intent, but follows it to the letter. Wikipedia

I would say malicious compliance is a form of passive aggressive behaviour, consider it involves both choosing to not directly engage while also understanding that harm will result to the other party or their interests.

So, for example:

Someone demands you get them a large box sitting on a shelf. You know the box is propping up the next shelf up, but just yank it out anyways(knowing the consequences); especially if you've attempted to communicate that there would be an issue if the box got pulled out.

Great Big hug CR. Even though you might not think you know as much as others, we love you for exactly who you are. :heart:
