This Guy Creates A ‘Paperwork Bomb’ And Sends It To His Wife’s Divorce Lawyers After She Tries To Go After His Business
“Be careful what you wish for” has never sounded truer after reading a popular subreddit, Malicious Compliance. It’s a place where people share stories of how they made someone regret making a request, by actually fulfilling it, oftentimes way too literally. Recently, one user shared a brilliant example of malicious compliance that might teach you how to make paperwork bombs like a pro if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

User Lxs7328 started off his story by saying that he’s been through a nasty divorce. So once his ex-wife decided to go after his business, Lxs7328, was ordered to provide a hefty amount of documentation.
While he initially tried to fight back against the request, which according to him could hurt his business, the divorcee realized it would be easier to comply. Well, easier for him and much more complicated for his ex-wife’s attorney. Do you want to know how? Read the whole story!

I did something similar when CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) claimed that my travel expenses are suspiciously large (I'm outside sales rep). They did not expect to receive data for 400+ meetings, arranged in no particular order, together with a very large pile of semi-faded receipts (as originals only were requested). Everything was returned in exact same form - no one touched it. And tax man had no further questions...

I've lost count of the amount of times we've had to deal with this on our divorce cases. Soooooooooooo many soon to be exes insisting that there is money hidden all over the place.

Family member is a solicitor - got invited to a clients house and discovered that, yes, there was money hidden. Most times it's not the case but every now and then someone goes to a lot of trouble to hide it.

Yup, paid 20.00 in pennies to the stable owner who took me to court (I was 16) because my horse chewed a board on his paddock fence (he had a bad habit called cribbing- horse people know). I actually went to court and had to testify because the guy was making crazy accusations (and commenting about the tightness of my riding breeches...the old perv). LUCKILY the judge was a horse owner too... and in the end he read the riot act to the pervy stable owner. We had already said that we would pay for the chewed board , not a problem....the 500.00 that we were sued for? Judge knocked it down to 20, with a warning to the stable owner to either learn that with horses comes wear and tear...He ended up with $20 in pennies and a bad reputation- and I brought my horse to a better barn.

This would be so My style! Luckily I adore My husband (most of the time). And annoyingly moralistic as I just got out of an article on eco friendly tourism: This is not very environmentally responsible. But I Like ! :-)

I had a boss that was going through a divorce . He incorporated his business , gave himself an hourly wage and lived in a van on premises. His wife would show up in a town car and he would give her some wadded bills from his pocket.

This is the type of record keeping that you are required to keep for years for business and even some personal taxes.
