It's important to be careful with your wording over text, especially if you're delivering an ultimatum to your ex. This woman was trying to threaten that if her ex didn't come to clean their apartment before he moved out, she would keep all of their security deposit. The trouble was that he had no interest in doing all of the work and was pleased to let her take the money. She did not anticipate that he might maliciously comply with her demands in a way that would make her have to clean the apartment for the first time in her life.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Crafty_Math_6293, who had the unfortunate experience of having to live with his ex-girlfriend for the final month of their lease after he dumped for cheating. That final month was filled with attempts on his ex's part to try to get back together as well as attempts at sabotage. By the end of their lease, he had no interest in spending more time with her, especially as it related to cleaning their apartment (a task he took on for the majority of the seven years that they were together). So when push came to shove, he was happy to let her take the deposit if that meant not having to spend another minute in her presence.
