What's the best example of karma you've ever seen?

Yes, I know that karma isn't real, and no, I don't wish bad on anyone. But, it is occasionally nice to see someone get their just desserts.

My favorite:

When I was 18, I worked in a shitty nightclub. Our manager was awful. He used to strut around shouting at us, telling us that we would never amount to anything. He always refused to work the tills, do the cleaning, or anything manual. He said that those jobs were beneath him... he eventually got sacked, and the only job he could find afterwards was being a bar man in a dodgy pub. We took great pleasure in popping in for a drink on our staff nights' out and smiling as he served us. He got exactly what he deserved. This was about ten years ago, and he's still there, last I heard.

Seeing girls who sleep with other girls boyfriends, then get together with the boy in question. Post all over social media how lucky she is. Then gets cheated on herself. That's karma. Seen it happen many times.

My DP’s friend brought his new girlfriend to another friend’s wedding. At the party much later friend acknowledged a woman who he had known for years. New girlfriend punched him in the face like a boxer, turned on her heel and marched across the dance floor. Unfortunately for her she slipped and skidded clean across the floor in her white trouser suit.

DH's ex wife left him literally holding the baby when she cheated with a colleague, and moved in with him. DH brought his kids up as a single parent because the new partner didn't want her children. They got married a week after we announced our engagement (despite not having even been planning to get engaged) and arranged their wedding on the same weekend as us. No big problem to us, didn't bother us at all.

The husband then left her for a (male) colleague and has since decided he is now a woman and wants to be known as Felicity.

I feel quite sorry for her because DH got the best end of the deal, but he thinks it's hilarious.

My bosses wife came to work at the company 5 years after I started... she absolutely hated me and would stand there pointing her finger at me talking/shouting loudly in the open plan office of 25 people. She basically wanted my job. I was the finance manager.
I left 6 weeks later after she accused me of taking additional annual (I hadn’t) I took legal action and won a payout, it was all so harrowing at the time.
Then about 8 months later I found out she and her husband had been sacked (marched off of the premises) as she was fiddling the company.
I definitely believe in Karma!

Oop! That should’ve have read annual leave. 🙄

We had a despicable perv of a maths teacher when I was 13/14. He used to seat the girls in "graded" order of how pretty we were. I was always placed at the back as "no one wants to look at that".
He had 4 girls sit at his desk, all were very pretty and developed (iyswim)
This went on for months and we ugly lot were too scared to tell on him- it was the mid Nineties, easier for a teacher to get away with it then.
Well, one of the pretty lot must have finally mentioned it to her Dad, whether innocently or not I dont know. But in front of everyone at Parents Evening in the hall, her Dad flew in, asked where Mr Pervy Maths teacher was, and punched him square in the jaw, knocking the needy little dweeb backwards onto the floor.
He disappeared quite swiftly after that.
My Dad asked if he had ever said anything inappropriate to me and when I told him how he had said how ugly I was, my Dad demanded an apology from the head teacher and said the guy was lucky to have gone or he'd have smacked him one too.

Had a abusive ex who tried to strangle me as a teenager. Managed to flee back home at 11pm. The next day I reported him for driving with no tax, insurance and whilst banned. Told the police where to find him in his car, arrested. A few weeks later in court.
Sentenced to 4 months inside.

He doesn't know it was me that got him arrested. Sometimes you have to make the karma happen.

Working as a nurse in A&E one night I was assaulted by a nasty and well-known local minor villain. Called the police to have him removed and as they marched him out he turned to me and with a face twisted with anger said ‘I’ll fucking get you for this’. A few weeks later he was brought in by ambulance having had an accident on his motor-cycle in which he lost a leg. I found it impossible to dredge up any sympathy.

That is shocking! What a prick he sounds!

Once I was driving at the speed limit with some arsehole right up my backside. We got to a dual carriageway and arsehole sped off past me...closely followed by an unmarked police car sounding it's siren. Karma at its best!

@TrumpTrump yes indeed he was a prick. I don't even recall him teaching us any maths. And he wasn't good looking himself, he was a skinny dweeb and was thinning on top, he couldn't have been more than late 20s to early 30s. And he was sweaty as well.
Luckily the next teacher we had was a gem of a guy, he knew what had happened and clearly had a lot to take on but you could tell he loved the job, and not because it afforded him the chance to salivate over young girls either.
These days it would be all over the papers but it was very hushed up back then. And just a year later a science teacher knocked a third year girl up and he magically disappeared overnight too. Whole school management sucked.

Wow! Some of these people are scary!

The most poisonous of my school bullies has been in a number of court cases, for watercourse fouling, unlawful dismissal of staff, and appeared in the newspapers after some unpleasant far right remarks.

But that's not the karma. The true karma is that neither of his kids are his. Not adopted, not donor sperm, honest to god infidelity. Mind you, how he got her to marry him...

Ex landlord finally sentenced for the unbelievably dangerous state of their houses after preying on poor families that were too desperate to say anything for years for fear of being evicted.

My sister's friend did a whiplash claim fraudulently. Got 3 grand. A few days later the car engine blew. Cost to replace? 3 grand.

I wrongly got sent audience tickets to see the Dalai Lama. I fessed up and two days later, the venue called with two front-row tickets. Nice karma!

Not sure if this qualifies but my aunt claimed disability allowance for years ever since she was a young adult, she had very mild epilepsy which she could have worked with, but she wilfully played the system the right way and was eventually given a full disability pension for life.

Fast forward to 20/30 years later, 5 kids and her perfectly healthy (and lovely) husband suffered a massive stroke and was left totally incapacitated requiring 24 hour care in a nursing home. She spent 15+ years visiting him daily and having a very limited life, until his death.

I just think it was like tempting fate claiming disability income for years (when she didn’t really qualify), then ended up with a disabled husband and total life changing circumstance. Makes you think.

Worked for an arsehole. The company culture was awful and I was paid about £2.50 ph as I was under 21 and it was in the early 00's. Company culture was awful, lots of back stabbing and toxic masculinity. I was a temp and was sacked by phone for daring to have tonsillitis- this was an online based company and most of my role was speaking on the phone.

Imagine my delight when I opened the local paper to find out that the owner has sold a majority stake to a well known fat cat. Fat cat had gotten fed up of him and changed the locks on the head office door. Still makes me smile to this day.

I was at a party at the age of 18. A "friend" was upset with me because I was dating somebody she had set her sights on. For some reason she threw an egg at me . It hit the guy standing next
to me, somebody you really wouldn't want to annoy (not the guy I was dating). He immediately "egged" her and covered her in flour She spent the rest of the night in tears!

@doodlejump1980

Wow! That's amazing! Stories of good karma are great too

That current viral video of the "woman" being misgendered makes me think of karma... I bet she didn't expect the world to see her tantrum!

@doodlejump1980 that is amazing!

A neighbour had a horrible habit of taking delight in scareing ducks / birds in the local parks pond , he tried it with a couple of Canada geese , the geese fought back chased and pecked him relentlessly untill he was on the floor yelling for help.
I did not rush over !
