So this just happened today. First, a little bit of backstory and context.
I work for for an agency that specializes in disaster relief. I’m basically a professional nitpicker, and it works like this: when a town or city or some other place suffers some kind of disaster and want to get reimbursed for damages and repair expenses and the like, they contact us and send in an application. This application has to include certain kinds of documents in order to be eligible for any funding, and some of those documents have to be laid out a certain way. For example, if you have to hire a bunch of laborers to help clear debris or something, you have to tell me who worked how many hours on which day, how much they were paid per hour, how much they were paid in total, that sort of thing. If your application gets to me and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, one of three things happens: your application is rejected, your application is sent up the chain minus whatever I can’t validate—meaning you get less money than what you were originally asking to be reimbursed for—or I send it back to you to be reworked. I usually do everything I can to avoid the first two because I know how hard it can be to recover from a disaster when you have to pay for stuff out of your own pocket, but today I made an exception, courtesy of some good old-fashioned malicious compliance.
