You've probably heard of malicious compliance, an occurrence when people take the rules given in the most direct manner, and they end up fulfilling the request way too literally. We previously made a curious list about such entertaining instances that you can check out right here.

But this time, we are giving malicious compliance a foodie treatment, and we are gonna look at what happens when the subject of request is your food order. Take hangry people, witty chefs, and hilarious miscommunication and mix it all together, and here you go, you just encountered delicious compliance.

After you’re done scrolling through this punny compilation, make sure to check out part 1 right here, and hit us in the comments if you've ever been served something like that!

So long as it was edible (and preferably spicy!) I'd have found this really amusing.

I had a coworker ask for some chili as spicy as they could make it was inedible. She let us try it and it tasted as if they took a whole bottle of black pepper and poured it into the bowl. How someone could eaten that was beyond me

Went with a Thai friend to a Thai restaurant in Texas once, and he asked for "extra spicy." The waitress walked off muttering, "You gonna DIE."

As far as I know pad thai is supposed to be rather sweet and sour and not really spicy.

Many Americans can't handle what other cultures consider spicy so many restaurants tone it down even if the order calls for it to be spicy. So the remedy I've always been to is to order it "X spicy, not American spicy". So like "pad thai, thai spicy" should do the trick.

Malicious compliance is the term used to describe when someone takes a superior's orders literally, knowing and intending that compliance may have unintended or negative results. Usually, it’s intentional, but sometimes it’s purely accidental. Delicious compliance is a spin-off of this occurrence and it involves food orders.

Anyhow, such compliance has to do with our mode of thinking, or rather the lack of it. What happens if we take things too literally? Is it possible to take them too literally? Very often we take something at its face value simply to avoid the burden of thinking. Just like agreeing with an idea because it’s an easy way out. Or we interpret it in a way that aligns with our ideas, beliefs and values.

No wonder the result is often unpleasant if the process lacks the process of thinking and reflecting upon the situation. We get used to getting orders and being told what to do, especially at work. Bluntly complying with orders also limits our potential to understand how things work, so it stops the potential for progress.

Most importantly, thinking before acting and measuring its consequences will help to reduce breakdowns in communication so that we can all be more open and willing to not just do what we’re told, but to do what’s best in a given situation. And this makes a whole lot of difference!

Your grandma seems to fix food like my Grandma used to do. I used to go over at mealtimes only because she wanted to feed me so much, and she would say, "Now in the fridge, I have........ and then in the freezer, there's some x, y and z." When I went to see her in the hospital, the nurses brought her a small (half-sized can of) coke. She was like, "Would you split my coke with me?" "In the drawer are some cookies your Mom brought me." I couldn't believe it. She managed to feed me even while she was in the hospital. This picture reminded me of such fond memories!
