I'll give them full points just for not putting it immediately in front of the door preventing it from being opened, despite the doormat request.

I genuinely don't understand this request, is there any size of parcel that is not just an envelope that won't look super obvious under a door mat? Unless you have a cellar door under the mat or something, it makes no sense.

I dunno about malicious, more like dumb request gets dumb results.

Lol I think you just described most malicious compliance posts. Just people throwing logic out the window while making demands, just to be swatted down by their own hubris.

People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.
