What’s the best example of justice being done that you’ve ever seen? (But not brought about yourself).

[LittleMouseOnTheFairy]

A customer made a couple of nasty, uncalled for comments to me today at work (retail) and it’s upset me a bit :( Particularly when this person used their job role as a justification, implying that they know what they’re talking about and I don’t (very unprofessional).
I obviously would never do anything to exact revenge, but I keep thinking it’d be nice to witness a bird shitting on her head/a lorry drenching her in dirty road water as she walks along the pavement, etc.

So I’m wondering, have you ever seen something and thought “Good! Serves you right!” ??

Standing in a long queue at Shanghai Airport for the Dubai flight
A German couple behind us were sidling along at the side of us trying to edge past us
As we approached the desk they managed to get in front of us
Hubby was going to say something but I shush him. We got to the desk and the checking lady informed us that the plane was overbooked and we were being upgraded to business class. We thought we must have misheard her.....surely it couldn't be true!!
When we finally boarded the crew were checking passes and directing people to the right. When it was our turn were directed left into business class!!
Omg!! 7 hours of bliss stretched out, no swollen feet!!
Justice definitely served!!😅😅

Abusive ex-boyfriend bumped into us out clubbing (at uni in a small city) and proceeded to be a total dick as usual, getting up in my face etc. Mutual friend tried to calm him down and ex pushed her away forcibly. Unfortunately for him the bouncer had seen, he gave him a total bollocking in front of everyone and chucked him out and barred him. Only a small victory but it was nice to see someone stand up to him.

Not really funny..
no one at all cared when my Autistic son was out of school for 9 months as his school got rid of him and we couldn't find a replacement/fighting the council for an EHCP/funding. It was a very lonely time. I nearly lose my job and thousands in pay as I have to take unpaid leave.
6 months after getting this sorted Covid hits and all the kids are sent home. Bitchy mums from his previous class (the ones who contributed to his getting expelled) complaining all over social media that they have to homeschool with no support or resources and are abandoned. (Exactly what happened to us and thousands of SEND kids every year!). How can they work they say. My son gets asked back into school as I'm a key worker and he has an EHCP so is vulnerable. He uses this time to get extra help as only 8 kids, 2 teachers and 2 TAs and so he's now a year ahead in his reading and maths having been 2-3 years behind before covid. He also gets over many school issues.
I know its been awful for so many people. But it really helped my poor lad who was really let down previously.

In a past life, part of my job was going out with supermarket delivery drivers.
I was with a woman driver, she had the first crate of shopping and I was coming up behind her as the customer opened the door. Customer started being quite rude saying that the driver had better put the shopping in the kitchen as customer was 5 months pregnant, quite confrontational, didn't we realise that she had to take it easy etc, etc.

Driver goes through to the kitchen and puts the shopping on the counter, turns around to reveal her 38 week bump, smiles sweetly at the customer and informs her she will go and get the rest of the shopping off the van. The customer looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her up.

We had a similar experience, my ds would go into school at 930 (to avoid the bustling in the morning intake) and would normally be sent home around 1130 as they couldn't cope.

I ended up writing to my mp (Norman Baker), who wrote to Matt Dunkley (at the time had of children's services) and got him a place at a fabulous school.

DS is now at university studying History

Don't give up

I was queueing at the tills in Asda. There was a woman in front me who was taking her time . It was not an issue for me but infuriated the man behind me and he started verbally abusing the checkout operator. I left my DS with the shopping and went up to the customer service desk and told them exactly what was going on and could they take the operator off the till as she was visibly upset. By the time the store manager and I had got back to the till my DS had loaded out shopping onto the belt but had no means to pay so we paid. The manager tore a strip off the foul mouthed man and promptly closed the till after us and took his colleague off for a coffee.

I was watching a local football match. One of the opposing team defenders absolutely took out one of my team’s strikers. Horrendous foul, could’ve broken his legs. Ref missed it and ball went out for a corner kick. The defender smirked at the striker getting medical attention, looked at the fans behind the goal, laughed out loud and chalked a “1” in the air with his finger.

The corner kick was taken.

Defender scored a beautiful own goal.

As a teenager my son was awful-stealing,swearing,lying,bunking school,being evil to his teachers-you name a bad behaviour and he’d done it
Really put me through the wringer as a single parent
I swear from the ages 12-17 I could have cheerfully given him away-he was just horrible
Anyway,he grew up,started a career,got a dog and his own place-we couldn’t be closer now

One day he asked if we fancied going to his and from there head onto the seaside with his mate in tow
We agreed and after taking the dog for a run on the beach we decided to get ice cream
He was sat there,minding his own business,chatting away to us about being a teenager and how badly behaved he used to be and a seagull flew over
And it shat-I swear there was a bucket worth up this gulls arse
It landed on not only my sons head but down his back,his ice cream,his rucksack and it even managed to hit his phone but missed the rest of us

I howled-karma at its finest

I will never forget the splat and his howls of rage-if I could have done,I would have bought that gull fish and chips to say thank you! (he did see the funny side in the end)

@Sussexbonfireviking thanks well done to your son! You are local to me too....

I have 2 - both at the same 3 way junction. Because of the layout of the junction anyone in the filter lane couldn't see if the road was clear to turn unless they were the 1st car.
I was waiting to turn one day when an impatient arsehole behind me decided to undertake me & go round.......right into the side of a police cat that I had been waiting to pass me by. Oh and for bonus points he was on his mobile.

Same junction, couple of years later, heavy snow on the ground so I am on foot. Different arsehole tries to beat the lights, hits a patch of ice, spins and smacks straight into a tree, losing most of his bumper in the process.

A few months ago I was at work (retail) quite crowded and there was one woman I’d been stuck with for quite some time. She was complaining (in a very nasty way) because I couldn’t give her her order. She had neglected to bring her customer card which is required and the customer is told this on paying and again when they receive an email telling them to collect. It’s not a personal choice thing, I actually physically can’t find the order until I’ve scanned the card.

She was being abusive and was very bad tempered when another customer started saying ‘excuse me’ and tapped her shoulder the woman rounded on her and got nasty with her too. The second customer just nodded and sort of wandered away. When the lady had left the second customer came up and said ‘this just fell out that woman’s pocket. Tried to tell her but she didn’t let me’ and gave me her purse.

I know how nasty it is but I got a small bit of satisfaction knowing the woman would have to come back in and be inconvenienced.

A few years ago I went to put petrol in my car. I was there were 2 pumps but the pump at the front did not have any unleaded and one of them ‘out of service’ cards on. I waited for the car infront of me to move off then I pulled into the working pump. The car behind me, not noticing that the front pump wasn’t in service began beeping wildly at me, and gesturing for me to move forward. I just looked at him like this and carried on putting petrol in. He then proceeded to SCRAPE between my car and the car on the next all the whole shouting abuse out the window at me. He pulled up to the pump, and saw it was out of service. He had to reverse back but by this point the forecourt was full and he had to reverse to the back of the queue, he didn’t look at me once as he reversed back, I was laughing my head off. What a saddo he was

Excuse all the typos 🙈

Excellent @DingDongMerrilyOnline i like that one a lot

Was packing my shopping into the boot of my car and could hear a car revving up loudlly, music blasting out, came screaming round the corner. Beeped several times while revving up loudly at an elderly couple pushing their trolley towards their car. Revved up again and screamed at full tilt into the parking space next to me. Straight into a support pillar.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

Oh my goodness I love this and I’m using it forever

“ It's called karma and it's pronounced ha ha ha.”

Not really karma, as a bit distressing. I was in London at a major tourist attraction. A 'rough sleeper' man who displayed some mental health issues was being taunted by some Japanese tourists. Having goaded him for a while he picked up a pigeon then tore of its head while shaking it violently so the tourists were covered in its blood. Quite bizarre.

I have 2:

1. Just after I passed my driving test I went on a course for work for a week. There was a very large car park a couple of mins walk from the venue and also a couple of very small parking spaces right outside. A male colleague took the piss out of me all week (and encouraged his friends to do the same) for parking further away even though I was usually the first to arrive and for driving slowly. On the last day he reversed at speed out of one of the small spaces right in to a concrete bollard.
2. I took teenage DD shopping in a busy primark and there was a long queue for the ladies' changing room. We arrived at the end of the queue at exactly the same time (but from a different direction) as a man, who even before we got there was shouting to us that he was first and we had to get behind him. There was an exchange of looks between quite a few people in the queue and no one mentioned to him that there was no queue for the men's changing rooms. (Before anyone questions, he definitely wasn't there as a gender identity choice as he slunk off to the men's as soon as he got to the front)

Not funny, but lovely. I’m glad your son got the support he deserved.

A company ripped us off for 20k in the vilest of circumstances. Us and quite a few other small businesses. We were 18 months down the road with our solicitors when they phoned and said 'bad news, he's going bankrupt'. Which meant we couldn't recover anything. But he had also used his multi million pound house as equity so lost that 😁

(this is my 'outing' name)

Yes, I had to throw my toys well and truly out of my pram to get a result.

Thank you - I'm so very proud of him

Arrogant man tried to push his way on to an already overcrowded tram instead of having to wait for the next one (pre-covid times)…unfortunately the doors closed before he could fully squeeze himself in and his bag was caught in the door. His unfortunate timing was made even better by the metal tag on his bag that was scraping the wall on the way round that sent sparks flying off it as we went through the tunnel to leave the station

@Soggymarshmellows that is awesome, really pleased for your son.

Mine is a school playground one, the 100 year old primary school has a below waist height old stone wall separating the school playground from the pavement. A hedge was planted decades ago next to the wall on the playground side to help stop the footballs leaving the playground but as a cheap added security measure. Since then high security fencing has been installed inside of this so you now have pavement, the wall, a hedge then the fence.

Some parents lift their children up to walk on top of the wall after coming out of the school gate despite there being bright yellow signs with "no climbing" written on them literally where they are lifting them.

My then reception aged child asked loudly why he wasn't allowed. I pointed to the sign and said it says "no climbing". Cue bitchy parent I didn't know loudly telling me to get over myself it is just a wall and it is fine when her precious child immediately falls backwards off the wall and gets wedged between the wall and the hedge where you can just see their legs sticking upright. I just raised my eyebrows at her shocked face and Ds never asked to climb the wall again. It was a joy to watch her struggle to lift her wedged upside down child out.

She gave me the evil eye every time she saw me in the playground which just made it all the more delicious. She wasn't a very nice person, sadly a friend of a friend so would often be in a group we were in.

There is a short stretch of winding lane near us that was blocked off. At one end there were cones and a sign saying road closed. Know it all white van driver decided it didn’t apply to him and ignored the sign. His face was a picture when he reached the other end, which was completely blocked by a block of concrete! (I saw because I was coming down the road which crosses that lane)

I didn't see this but someone was driving down a lane where there was a 'flooded road' sign where the road goes under a railway bridge. Car driver decides that he can get through as it doesn't look that deep so moves sign and drives through.
Obviously not from the area or he would know that the road dips quite steeply under the bridge so ends up with his car sort of floating. Was on the front page of the local paper
