Any CF Karma stories

[Bethany83]

Inspired by yesterday's thread of the bill splitting karma, which was very uplifting to read, can anyone share any stories where CF got their come uppence? These will be a wonderful read for all especially victims of CF!
I don't have any to offer I am afraid...

I worked in one department of a company that had a owner that wasn't really involved much in the day to day running of the business. He and management hired a new person to run the department, with my previous manager moving up to overseeing multiple departments. Well, this new guy turned out to be the biggest twat on the planet and, for reasons that will only ever be known to him, he decided to make my life hell.

He would constantly belittle me in front of my colleagues, gossip about me behind my back and try to sabotage me at every turn. I took it all in my stride and everything he asked me to do (once I got wise to his sabotage tricks) I would ask him to confirm via email and everything he'd confirm I would do word for word (which only angered him more).

Over the months, he HATED that he couldn't get me fired nor get me to quit (although I came extremely close to quitting) and my few complaints to management about him went unregistered, because they all thought that the sun shone out of his arse. They knew there was friction, but dismissed it as a personality clash 🙄 I just documented everything and got on with my work.

I guess twatfeatures had gotten so comfortable at the company, after having management eating out of his hands for a year, that he decided one day that he was going to start to "manage" other departments. He goes another department and starts criticizing a worker about her work. She starts to stick up for herself and he gets in a huff and leaves. He then comes back and loudly berates her, forgetting where he is and (even though he had worked at the company for a year) not knowing who he was shouting at....the owners sister 🙃

He called her some very disgusting names, tried to physically harm some other workers who intervened and was quickly forced out the door never to be seen again!

I have two CF incidences with Karma served, firstly when I was at college I worked at Asda and was on the checkouts, I served a customer who was with his daughter, same age as me, I vaguely knew her though she had gone to the other high school to mine. As I scanned the shopping he was very loudly telling his daughter that he would never have allowed her to work in supermarket as he wouldn't want her to lower herself, she smirked and kept looking at me as he waffled on. His card declined, again and again. he went mental at me, calling me a little whore, it was my fault, I couldn't do my job properly if I couldn't put a card transaction through (this was 30 odd years ago so no contactless etc. ) He was vile and I was there on the checkout with other shoppers looking at me and his daughter laughed at me. As he once again challenged me and called me a fucking stupid council estate bitch, my manager walked past, stopped and came to me, she told him she was the manager and she input his card details into the machine, it again declined. She then asked the passing store security guard to escort this guy off of the premises. Fast forward two years later and the local paper is on the table at home and there he is on the front, having got arrested and sent down for embezzlement. I wished no harm on his family even his silly daughter but I hoped he had a rotten time inside.

Second one was of a similar nature, my first proper job having left Asda after college ended, was working in a letting agents, the manager was a class A twat, think pimped out BMW (what is it with BMW drivers), sunglasses on in the office in winter, reeking of Paco Raban etc. his ex-wife worked there, as did his new much younger girlfriend (same age as me) and his ex-wife's new younger boyfriend (weird set up).
This boss didn't like me told me to my face, because unlike other members of staff I didn't suck up to him, he often called me names and belittled me.
Anyway a year in to the job, I knew something wasn't right, lots of hushed up conversations between him and his ex-wife. Fast forward a few months and I turn up to work on a Monday morning and they've gone, done a flit, owing thousands to small time contractors, all of us employees (there was about 10 of us), robbed people's rent by not paying landlords etc. I was lucky to get another job straight away but being so young and naive I hadn't realised he had not been paying my tax or NI so my new job meant emergency tax etc. so I didn't earn much to begin with in the next job, and it was a struggle.

However I then got a letter from the local police HQ fraud squad who paid me a visit and asked me all about him, he was up to his neck and was eventually sent down after coming back to the UK from Spain. I don't often dislike people with a passion but god I hated him.

This is wonderful!

...And so is the fact that someone on here has made a reference to George Roper. 😀

But your way means innocent children then suffer difficulties and I doubt the adults really know what it's like as they probably don't spend much time with the children they don't approve of..

Love this! Good for her.

I love yours @EndlessVortex .

Me too @EndlessVortex, we should all channel that woman when confronted with these CFs.
👌😁

DH split up with his previous girlfriend because she was having a fling with a close friend who was already married. Ex gf married her fling a couple of years later around the time DH and I started seeing each other.
For 10yrs ex gf tried to disrupt our relationship, I could write a book, but probably the worst thing she did was to send a card congratulating me on my pregnancy. Firstly, only a handful of people knew so I knew who told her, secondly I had actually had a miscarriage which they also knew about.
Anyway fast forward to when DH and I had DS ( a bit of a miracle) finally all the “stalking” stopped.
We found out that she’d left her DH, turns out that when they were married he had agreed to have a vasectomy reversal because she wanted children. He had gone to have the procedure but then chickened out. He failed to share this info with her so she thought that they had been trying for years. He only fessed up when she booked an appointment with an IVF clinic. He had let her go through endless fertility treatment prior to this.
I did feel very sorry for her but ultimately could never forgive her for the card she sent.

I’ve also remembered that karma was almost instant because she posted the card from a motorway service station on the way to the airport. They were travelling to the USA on 11/9/2001 and on one of the flights that had to return.

Throughout all of the hassle she caused we never told anyone. We kept all of the cards she sent, in case we needed to involve the police if it escalated ( there was a mysterious incident when someone threw paint stripper all over my car) hoping she would just give up.

Fortunately social media did not exist. I have often wondered if she would have had the nerve to use it to cause trouble.

Some years ago, we went to see my Fil, 2 hour journey if all was well with the traffic, late winter and on our way home it started to sleet heavily, it very quickly made the motorway like an ice rink, everyone was driving quite slowly and carefully except the guy in a BMW, outside lane overtaking every car, half a mile after he passed us, he had crashed into the central reservation, he was fine as he was outside his car, his arrogance put him there, so our sympathy was exactly zero.

Not as good as some of the stories on here but it made me feel very satisfied at the time.

A girl I went to high school with was always horrible to me for no reason at all. Always bitchy comments about my appearance - that I stuffed my bra with tissue, had nits etc but her favourite thing was to tell me I had “the ugliest lips” that apparently made me look like a fish. ( I have always had full lips) She would do duck/fish impressions and laugh as she walked off. It was very bizarre but I just tried to brush it off, even though it was upsetting at times.

Many years later I see her & a few other girls from school on a night out, back in our home town - she looks the same… all except for her very visible lip fillers, which looked awful, bordering on grotesque. I couldn’t stop looking at them, which I know she saw me doing.
She kept holding her drink in front of her lips and playing with the straw, almost to try hide them from me.

Anyway, I felt very satisfied in that moment knowing my ‘ugly’ big lips that made me look like a fish were natural and didn’t cost me anything whilst hers looked like inflated balloons and actually did make her look like a fish.

But mostly because I knew their return flight was from Newark.

As an American with some experience of flying in and out of NYC, this made me laugh out loud. 😀

I was lucky to get another job straight away but being so young and naive I hadn't realised he had not been paying my tax or NI so my new job meant emergency tax etc. so I didn't earn much to begin with in the next job, and it was a struggle.

I'm guessing that your tax and NI records are up to date now and that your state pension won't adversely be affected by your payments missed by your fraudulent employers? 🌹

What a horrible woman, I’m sorry you went through that but I’m not sorry she did. 🌷 I agree, I bet she thought you were sticking pins in an effigy of her!

New name as anyone who knows me knows the second one.

First one was me my bin lid wouldn't close and I saw the binman take the last bin bag out and drop it on the ground. I ran out and asked him to take it he said no. My neighbour was on holiday so I said can I put it her bin for you to empty, he refused. About 3 weeks later I was parking on the road and the same bin man got out of the bin lorry and asked me to move so that he wouldn't have to drive the long way around. I said no and took great delight in reminding him it was karma for not emptying my bin. Pathetic but it felt like a small victory.

Second one my DH was in pub and a man was watching him so closely that he decided to leave. When he went to the door this man followed him and pulled out a big knife out waving it at my DH. He's a big bloke and he just panicked and lashed out grabbed the man threw him to the ground, kicked him to get the knife away and broke the mans leg.

GIrl on my degree course was struggling and I agreed to help out with notes and revision. Eventually this escalated into me proof reading her essays then eventually helping her write them and/or giving her mine to read when she hadn't done the work and was handing in late. We were both single mothers and I felt solidarity was important as we were both struggling to find the time between school runs, ever changing timetables (8pm Law and ethics!) and doing essays, presentations and revision. I had her over when she had to retake exams and helped her with revision techniques while making lunch etc. What I hadn't realised was that behind my back she was going around the tutors telling them she was helping ME, that she didn't think I even wanted a job after the course and she was of course much more desperate than me and needed a hand from them. She ended up winning the year prize (forgotten what it was called now) and was the only person set up with a job as part of the "reward" - I was so jealous as it was perfect part-time work around childcare and in a topic she didn't much like but I had consistently scored 70's in. I knew she would never have passed without all of my hours of help and it really hurt when the mutual friend explained to me what she had been saying to the tutors. I decided to cut my losses and just fade her out as clearly she wasn't a good friend.
The next year I hear from mutual friends she only lasted 2 months in the job before being asked to leave because she didn't fully grasp what they were doing and kept turning up late citing childcare issues. She also then decided to try to take a further degree in a similar subject and failed the first year.
I always wonder what the tutors from our cohort must think when they remember her as I am sure the course took her largely because she won the year prize!

Kev was bang out of order. The car was just... being driven.

Why is it stupid? Tit for tat. Well done to the woman who keyed the car.

The Jag driver threw a cigarette butt into Kev's face - that's my reading of it.

Yes, fortunately it was a long time ago & have worked hard to get it all sorted. I sometimes wonder what happened to him the ex-manager, I hope he is miserable 😄

Little bit of karma just unfolded for me today
A few months ago, a colleague in another country rang me to tell me that going forward an international customer wanted to be looked after centrally rather than at country level, so I would no longer be managing the customer as he would be taking over as the 'obvious choice'.
A demotion to me in terms of responsibilities, no one in the UK office knew about it, and HR were not happy about the handling or information cascade. Over the next few months his ego gets bigger and bigger as he manages the integration, makes several commercially ridiculous decisions, does nothing but talk down to me for months.
He phoned me today to say that actually our company had decided to bring in an external candidate to cover the account internationally and his role will be on exactly the same level as me, managing only his own country.
I felt sorry for him for about 10 seconds before remembering what an arrogant wankpuffin he is.

@GeorgesMarvelousCalpol @BirthdayRainbow defo we should! I can’t even overstate how much it affected me at the time. I couldn’t get over what a badass she was, how she tricked him into getting out of the seat himself. She really inspired me to be a lot bolder and I ended up coming out of my shell in large part because of that incident. She had a black jacket on made of what looked like a combo of suede and leather and I ended up buying a cheapo version from New Look in an effort to emulate her 😅

In your place, I'd probably have done the same thing! She sounds amazing.

This is appalling, a meningitis death was too good.

Oooo I remember one.

Back in school was a teacher called Mr Wayne, commonly called Mr Wanker among students. It was a secondary school and he was a horrible bastard. Shouted at everything and lost his temper very easily.

One day, he came in ranting and raving about stuff scaring the life out of everyone. Satisfied that he had done his job scaring teenage girls, he went to sit down. Only the chair collapsed under him. He quickly stood up daring us to laugh before leaving the room just as fast.

Then we all burst out laughing.

Yes I did!
