[REPOST]

When I went traveling this year and cancelled my home internet, the company said if I don’t have a paper proving I’m leaving to go abroad at least a few month I would have to pay substantial cancellation fees. Said proof could be either a rental agreement, a work contract or a university enrollment.

Since I’m just traveling in different places without settling, I had neither of those.

Cue malicious compliance: I figured they probably don’t really cared so I took the Wikipedia page for the internet (so it’s a least one page long) in Greek (so it’s a different alphabet), removed all the latin characters (DNS, IP, HTTP, …), put “Rental agreement” in Greek on top, my name randomly in the first paragraph and signed at the bottom.

A few days later, I got an email saying the cancellation fees were waived
