In memory of his late mother, Redditor u/danexperiment shares a story in r/MaliciousCompliance showcasing her beautifully petty wit. She once hired an irresponsible babysitter to watch OP’s sisters. Said babysitter just narrowly avoided some serious charges his three-year-old sister started a fire in her house with a lighter she left out. The negligent babysitter then had the audacity to turn around and sue OP’s mother for not paying her properly (even though she had). OP’s opportunistic mother turned the inconvenience into a chance to score some sweet revenge. We should all strive to be as “deviously brilliant” as her.
