Knock Knock. (Short story) (self.maliciouscompliance)

submitted 1 year ago by Delphia to c/maliciouscompliance

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments

The managers offices have windows that look out onto the main floor, I'm a training officer and sometime supervisor so although I look in the windows before I go in I'm generally "read in" on anything going on so If the doors closed I dont pay it much mind unless the boss is having a closed door with a staff member.

I went to walk in the door and got it half open before the facility manager bodily slams it closed. He looks out the window and sees its me, and says "Learn to knock!" gives me some paperwork to chase up.

3 minutes later I come back with paperwork, he is sitting there back to the window... with his coffee. I made eye contact with the other supervisors and went full cheshire cat. I waited till he lifted his cup and I closed fist pounded on that door like I had a fucking warrant.

He came about 3 inches out of his chair and wore the whole cup.

i thought it was going to be something like: everyone knocks so loud that nobody can work
But this is way better

He was pissed but the other supervisors laughing "You told him to knock!" took the wind out of his sails. He stormed off but ultimately just let it go.

He knew he had been a dick and that I either got him back intentionally or karma did.
