A good deed that slapped you in the face

[Miilkywhitemoonlight]

Hi

Have you ever done a good deed that has come back into slap you in the face ? Just before my wedding many years ago I bumped into a cousin in town

He had just come out of prison and was lonely and trying to get on his feet .And being kind and nice I asked him to join us for the night disco .

He started a fight just before the end . Up until then my wedding had gone with out a hitch and I was on cloud nine . Went from a high into tears .

As they say no good deed goes unpunished . How I wish i could turn back time .

My brother got kicked out of my mums for stealing. I defended him , said there must be a misunderstanding he's not like that completely out of character etc. Fell out with my Mum over it.

I Let him stay with me in my flat until he worked something out, he stole money out of my purse while I slept.

Helped an old man over the road as he was struggling to walk and get home. Saw him back to his front door safely. Turns out he was fit enough to sexually assault me, even if he couldn't manage to cross a road.

In the Co-op I I very unbalanced elderly gentleman dropped his walking stick. He was struggling to bend so I picked it up and handed it back to him. The abuse I got was unreal! He was still moaning about me to himself when I passed him in another isle.

I think I'd be a bit sympathic and forgiving in that situation @SilverSplitsTheBlue . You were kind but he sounds troubled

In a public toilet I went into a cubicle and there was a huge puddle on the floor. Fearing someone would slip I came straight back out and went to the attendants little room and told her. She started yelling that I must have done it, and what state is my house in if I piss on the floor like that. Followed me down the road for several hundred yards yelling at me in a similar vein. I was mortified, and desperate for a piss!

We lent our house to some friends while we were on holiday because they were temporarily ( ho hum) homeless.
In two weeks they managed to break the boiler, insulted our neighbours with whom we were friendly and turned off the alarm and security lights before they left the house empty for two days.luckily it was okay, because if it hadn’t been , the insurance would have been void.
We aren’t friends now.

I drove a car full of friends to a funeral which was 1.5 hours away, they were all too upset to drive (friend died suddenly very young) and were very grateful of the lift. I ended up getting a speeding ticket for going at 34 in a 30 zone, had to pay a fine and do speed awareness. Felt like reverse karma 🙈

@Aposterhasnoname I hope you complained

Let somebody who had a well paying job stay in the spare room three days before Christmas for 'a couple of weeks' until their 'rental with their friend was ready'.

Naturally, the moment they were in there stinking out the room and eventually the entire house with unwashed clothing and half eaten takeaways stuffed under the bed, they jacked in their job. And a whole load more happened after that.

Never, ever again. I don't care if the person asking or wailing about how they've nowhere to go and what will they do is a living fucking saint, nobody is ever moving into our home ever again.

My brother gave us concert tickets for a show he could no longer attend. He dropped us off and someone crashed into him on the was home.

I found a wallet stuffed to the gills with £20 notes (to the point it wouldn't close) in the disabled toilets at M&S. I went and handed it in to the nearest counter just as the wallet's owner came to the same counter to say he'd lost his wallet in the shop. The M&S lady checked the man's identity and said 'This lady's just handed it in'. The man shouted at me 'I know exactly how much is in there so if you've taken any of it I'll call the police and they've got you on CCTV'. He carried on shouting about 'fucking thieving cunts' as he walked away, counting his cash.

A mum I know vaugley from school pick up asked me to watch her kid safer school as an emergency.

They had been around for a short play date once befor and acted much better behaved.

These kids are all 8+ apart from my younger dd so should be able to be in another room unsupervised I thought.

Droped my Dds switch and broke it
Stood on the robot vacuum and broke it
Chucked the old swing over the top again and again til it broke
Wouldn't leave my older cat alone, kept going in my bedroom to chase him and got scratched, that didn't stop him
Hyped up my puppy when I told him not to. I locked the dog away at this point for his own safety.
Reclined the sofas till they scratched all the new paintwork after being told not to.
Wouldn't listen to me or his mum at all, sister wasn't much better running across a busy road without me and very rude

Every one of these things they were told not to do more than once. The kids don't listen.

Never again am I watching these kids

Went to accompany a friend to a hospital appointment she was nervous about. Somehow lost my ticket for the car park (I’d been there about an hour), so had to press ‘lost ticket’ and be charged the day rate. As my replacement ticket came out, the wind took it and I couldn’t find it, so I had to do it again. The wind also took that one but I managed to catch it. It cost me almost £20 to park for an hour and it wasn’t even my appointment!!

Similar to a pp my brother babysat for us then crashed his car literally at the end of our road on his way home, I felt so guilty, I am a big overthinker and am always like oh if I didn't do that, that wouldn't have happened etc.

Also when I was about 17/18 I bumped into a guy my close school friend had really liked, they almost got together at times but never quite did as neither actually said how they felt. He told me that night he really liked her and wouldn't mind getting in touch again. I ummed and aahed about telling her as sometimes things are better left as they are but I did call her as thought she really did like him so if nothing else it would be nice to hear.

Well, not only did he tell her he didn't like her he told her he hadn't even seen me!! I found out as she walked into our college and punched me in the face in front of everyone.

What hurt the most is that I have never understood why she believed him and not me, I am 43 now and it still bothers me. I would love to have been able to ask her why she believed him and why she didn't just call me and tell me what he said rather than doing what she did.
