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...

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

Kev got a cigarette butt, maybe a still-burning one, directly in the face from the car driver throwing it out. It probably dropped to his chin and got trapped there. Nasty if unlit, damn dangerous if it was, and if he was scrabbling at his helmet and weaving all over the road it seems likely. Unpleasant situation, much like getting a wasp trapped under your visor.

Kev was pretty restrained in his response imo.

"he was favoured by the LA as he was a nasty intimidating shit. But his reputation got ahead of him and he was refused bar school for his reputation."\

"Watched my sons entire class getting underdressed for PE "

I assume second one is undressed and not underdressed. I don't know what the first one means.

It was many facts thrown out and I did not find it easy to follow. Did not realise that was a crime. Wish I was as clever as you. I did not understand what his karma was.

Edited

He wanted to become a barrister but was refused by bar school (aka law school)because his reputation of trying to win legal cases by any means. I’m dyslexic

Hi there, could you please tell me what NC stands for? I've seen a few people use it but it's not in the Mumsnet Talk Acronym list. Thank you!

Name change.

Feedback on admissions decisions | University of Oxford - familiarise yourself with the feedback. Not only do they give feedback to those meeting the conditions, they also explain themself for rejecting those who did not meet the conditions of offer.

There’s a significant difference between meeting parents, and sending them a letter or email.

I've posted this previously, but I heard of a farmer whose land had been used for an illegal rave. He blocked all of the exits to the field, bar one, and stood there. He then charged the people in the cars £20 to leave 😂

badneighbours · 09/04/2024 02:27

When we moved to our present house a neighbour's number 1 son used to harrass and be obnoxious to people on the street, so much so the police were called. Fully supported by dad who shouted at and threatened one neighbour.
Number 1 son went quiet, growing up a bit I suppose and as it happens number 2 son took up big brother's mantle; harassment, police called, same stuff
Fast forward to earlier this year when a huge old tree in their front garden split down the middle, each part tree-sized in itself. It landed right on the number 1 son's car and wrote it off.

Payback's a bitch.

@ButternutSoup NC also means ‘no contact’

I had booked a table of four from London to Newcastle last year. When I got on the train it was occupied by a middle aged couple with 2 dogs. I politely mentioned that I'd booked the table but there were plenty of free seats available.

The lady immediately kicked up a fuss but the man apologised and got up to leave. She wouldn't and claimed that the train inspector said she could sit anywhere. I agreed but also reiterated that he meant she could sit in any of the freely available seats. These seats weren't free because I booked and reserved them.

She then said "but where are my dogs supposed to sit?!" Like that was my bloody problem, anyway her dh was getting irate by now so told her to shut it & find another seat! I could hear him shouting at her down the carriage "you always do this, you never reserve seats & you never sit on free seats. You always have to sit on reserved ones & argue with people!" People were smirking as they walked down to the next carriage 😀

I always enjoy the small things. I love it on here when someone points out an error someone has made with regard to spelling or punctuation but in doing so they make an error themselves and shine a light on their own insecurities. It’s all so twajik.

I can confirm that the Jag driver had thrown a still burning fag end out of his window and it had lodged in Big Daft Kev's helmet, burning his cheek.

PoochiesPinkEars · 09/04/2024 08:01

I don't know why anyone has to be so cutting to m00rfarm she only said she didn't get it. You can help out without being scathing.

inappropriateraspberry · 09/04/2024 08:21

@m00rfarm I didn't get it either. I thought 'bar' was a typo for by, and the school had banned him from working with them!
Thanks for asking and getting the clarification.

Not really a CF just a nasty fucker.

Have done a fair few SEN tribunals and one of the LA tribunal reps was an absolute nasty, underhand sociopath. He was vile. Watched my sons entire class getting underdressed for PE for evidence against my sons dyspraxia. Opened his car into mine at the hearing. Did a data dump of over 1000 pages as late evidence on the day. Lied through out the process. Left my sons data in a public building. Sent me a email chain where he had asked all the teachers for dirt on me. Told me I was a terrible parent with zero asperations for my child when summing up. So much more. Did this to a lot of parents.

he was favoured by the LA as he was a nasty intimidating shit. But his reputation got ahead of him and he was refused bar school for his reputation. It was ten years ago. I still smile. He said he was a humanitarian on his linked in ( unless that human is not a disabled child or it’s parent of course).

His surname didn't start with C or P, did it?

You probably also know about the solicitor who acted for a number of local authorities and was, shall we say, well known for the tactics he would use to win. One glorious weekend he basically committed professional suicide on Twitter by sending out a succession of messages showing his attitude to parents and those who represent them, culminating with a photo of what he implied was his swimming pool. One or two people tried to save him from himself by telling him to stop but he just blocked them. When he, um, came to his senses, there was a tweet blaming the whole thing on an unnamed employee, but most of his LA clients took fright and binned him off. Definitely karma.

If they were getting out on the correct floor, I'd assume you would be quite correct.
However the whole karma bit was that Toogles was on the 4th floor waiting on the lift to go to the ground level, the rude man had travelled from the penthouse and wasn't paying attention, thought the 4th floor was the ground floor and then was pissed when the doors closed on him and leaving him on the 4th floor.
Sweet justice 😆

But Toogles didn't know that he didn't want the 4th floor until he tried to get back on. She was forcing her way into the lift blocking someone else who was trying to get off.

Doesnt make it right for him to barge her, but I do agree with Mnk711 that Toogles was being rude too

I can't bear drivers who throw lighted cigarette ends out of car windows. It's far mroe dangerous than throwing litter and can really injure a person. I've had one blow in through my open car window and it burned a hole in my (expensive) clothes and a blister in my skin. As I was driving, it could also have caused a crash.

People who do that are far worse than complete and utter slobs they are recklessly endangering others.

I applaud Kev for his response. We need more Kevs.

Excellent! I hope those people then tried to get their money back from the cheeky rave organisers. 🌹

Poor guy - he sounds exasperated by her actions which were, no doubt, done on purpose as she sounds a proper nightmare. 🌹

More creepy fucker than cheeky fucker but still satisfying.

I was walking back to the car from work. Half 5 in winter so dark. I passed a bloke who told me to 'smile' 🙄 and who I promptly ignored.
He started to follow me, so close that we were touching shoulders, berating me for my 'rude' behaviour, he was only trying to be friendly, I shouldn't ignore people, this was why men had problems with women.......
He continued all the way down the long road, far too close for comfort and not going away, his face right next to mine, too close for me to be able to run.
..... I was a pretty girl and should smile more, he would let me make it up to him, just one drink, he knew a nice bar just around the corner, he didn't take no for an answer, women always came around to his way of thinking, just one drink....
And then BAM! He was suddenly gone.

The creepy fucker was so busy focussing on me that he had failed to notice a low barrier that separated the footpath from the grass and had cartwheeled over it. Landing face first in mud.
Sometimes karma is messy.

Not only is it plain nasty, they can start fires in dry grass etc.

Years ago I worked somewhere with limited parking so most of us had to park in the public car park over the road. It wasn't the nicest car park- badly lit, no CCTV, isolated. I worked late two nights a week and finished at 10pm.
One night I walked back to my car and there were a group of young men hanging around the car park with their modified (crap) car. They spotted me and started shouting, calling me a slag and jeering when I hurried to my car which was the level above theirs (you could see over the wall, not a high level but accessed by a small walled slope).
As I got into my car they had jumped into theirs and zoomed up the slope towards the exit -and scraped the car along the entire length of the wall. As they stopped to look at the damage I reversed out and drove off past them. So satisfying.

Another train one.This happened just a couple of weeks ago.
A man got onto my train with two early teen kids and 3 bikes.
This are of the train is for bikes, but people sitting really have priority.
Anyway the man is slightly agggressive, loud and tells quite a lot of commuters off for taking the space up for the bikes.He tells them they could sit anywhere else on the train.Some women leave the carriage.

5 Minutes later the conductor comes along asks for his tickets.Only he has one and not for his bike, tje children have no tickets and not fir the bikes.
She gives him quite a telling off.He has to pay.Then another man near me pipes up saying you didn't even have a ticket, you made those others leave the carriage.The bike man was quite aggressively trying to defend himself.However he couldn't really I had a little snigger.
I don't live in the Uk so not sure what people do with bikes there.

In the UK trains the bike area would have priority for the bikes, as the passengers can indeed sit or stand elsewhere, but you can't put bikes anywhere else. It's not good that the guy didn't have tickets for the bikes or the kids, but I do sympathise somewhat with him as it was probably a stressful experience getting 3 bikes and 2 kids on a train if it's anything like the UK train system. I speak from bitter experience!

Superb thread, OP - and so much more uplifting than the tales of good people being screwed over by CFs with no consequences!

I'm racking my brain for an appropriate anecdote, and hope to come back with one but while I'm at it, can I just say I believe you will never regret taking appropriate revenge on a cf, preferably at the time of the offence. So take courage, MNers, and speak up! This has always stood me in good stead, and is so much better than spending the next decade seething with rage.

Totally agree. So many people say don’t be ‘petty’ or ‘be the bigger person’ but I prefer speaking up at the time.
