Malicious compliance

Someone who either has too much time on their hands or really wanted to teach someone a lesson!
Years ago when I was in grad school, one of the in-house machinists told me about a rather arrogant grad student who wanted a stainless steel box fabricated for some experiment. The grad student drew it up using just outside dimensions, but failed to show that it was supposed to be hollow, or a wall thickness. When questioned about it, the grad student just said "follow the drawing." So, the machine shop built him a big chunk of (expensive) solid stainless steel. And no, it was not my design.

One of the first classes we had to take in grad school for Physics was working in the machine shop because we would likely be having to fabricate, or request fabrication, of experimental apparatus. It was immensely enjoyable.
