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...

Oh god I love this! Bravo!

I just love it when rude people meet themselves! Good on that steward not only upgrading you but letting those people know it! 🌹

@pinkstripeycat Years before I was born, my parents rescued a lamb. It grew up into a devil sheep and an escape artist. He used to escape and chase the man and his greyhounds who lived down the road. My poor mother would get a phonecall and she'd have to go, with 2 toddlers in tow, down the lane to manhandle the little beast back home. I guess his karma was that he was eaten In the end... 😮(this was in the 70s. I think my parents have managed not to eat any pets since)

Many moons ago I was working as a waitress in a cafe in a food court in a shopping centre. The boss was a total cow. Loved me as I was the clever uni girl (despite being a shit waitress), looked down her nose at the girls from the schemes, made they pay out of their wages for any mistakes on orders. Shouted at people in front of staff and customers. Proper piece of work.

She was always dressed immaculately, lots of jewelry and expensive bags. Spent allot of time in her boyfriend's place in the south of Spain. Never keen on doing any work, but always there at cash up time, and jumped up like a rabbit when any customer paid by cheque. I had wondered if she was on the make.

Then one very busy Saturday, the cops arrive. It turns out her and the boyfriend had been robbing the owner blind and they were there to arrest her.
We were all gob smacked and stared at the whole thing unfolding. She then unleashes a torrent of foul mouthed abuse on one of the staff called Carol, who was her whipping girl. The cops then handcuff her, she begs and please to be taken out the back way. The copper turn to Carol, says what do you reckon, front way or back way. Carol says oot the front all the way lads. And she was marched out by 4 coppers in cuffs through a packed shopping centre.

Once when DS was about ten we left him reserving us a table at a service station while we got the food. He was only a few metres away. We saw a slight kerfuffle and returned to find a sweaty red faced angry man had thrown him off the table and put his overfed kids there. We were annoyed and DS was upset but we found another table. Sweaty man went up to get his food order and tripped up on the way back, spilling everything including the icy drinks all over a man nearby. There was quite a scene and we laughed for ages.

We had a right cowbag of a dinner lady in primary school. One particular dinner time I ended up with semolina 🤢 for pudding. I didn't want it and nor did I ask for it. Primary schools thick lumpy custard with a thick layer of skin on top has put me off anything like that for life!! Anyway I ate my dinner and went to scrape the semolina into the food bin. Cowbag dinner lady comes marching over. Snatches the tray out of my hand and frogmarches me back to the table. How dare I waste food when there's starving kids in Africa. She stood there whilst I forced every spoonful into my mouth, gagging each time I tried to swallow it. Wouldn't let me leave a scrap of it. By this point I was the only child left in the dining hall. Somehow managed to force the last mouthful down and promptly puked the entire contents of my stomach up all over her feet and shoes. Same dinner lady again took my half a ham sandwich out of the bin and forced me to eat it.

Love this!

A few weeks ago, I was sitting at the hairdressers with a colour on looking out of the window, a car over the road reversed into another parked car. They didn’t check the car they’d hit for any damaged just pulled forward, parked up and got out. The owner of the hit car had no idea,( I did go tell her. ) Anyway immediately after the hit car drove off along came an elderly lady driving a big beast of a car and tried to get into the space. She subsequently reversed into the car that had hit the first on, she kept on reversing until she lifted the car off the ground before realising she wasn’t going to fit and drove off!
We were all in stitches.

When younger I was a shy insecure people pleaser riddled with acne.

My sister was outgoing, prettier . Sadly she was also a bully to me. She was always having flings, though sadly often with married men. I knew she wanted to get married and have children but she never seemed to worry that she'd never find anybody.

Once I admitted to her I liked a man we both knew on a night out, she declared she was more his type and pursued him that evening and got off with him spending the night with him and going out with him.

Another time, I had a blind date lined up. Out with friends who had lined him up for me (the only blind date anybody ever arranged for me) We were chatting on a group chat with him, my sister asked to join the chat so not to be left out. My friend obliged.

My sister ended up pursuing this man unbeknownst to me and going out with him. I did challenge her and she said ' you had a date with somebody a few weeks ago, don't be greedy' By that point in my life late 20s I had managed a handful of dates, and had one boyfriend for a short time.

She said all her friends agreed I was just jealous and it was none of my business.

Our relationship deteriorated as I grew in confidence. Then aged 38 I met a man, bought a house, had two children by the time I was 43. My sister lives three miles away and has never helped me in any way. We see her twice a year. Such a shame as she could have had the love from two lovely DC.

She is still single and having an affair with a married man. I feel a bit sorry for her. But I also think I lived my life well. And Karma.

What a bloody Hero!

But you have to wonder why he didn't reserve the seats for himself, and why he sat down with her in the reserved seats.

My contribution to crime fighting...

I used to cycle to work. One dark wet evening I was cycling home. I was on a segregated cycle lane with the main bit of the pavement to one side of me and slow moving traffic on the other side. I was coming up to a side road so focussing on the traffic to check that noone was going to try to turn across me.

Suddenly someone ran out in front of me from the pavement. No time to react, he went down, I landed on top of him and pinned him down with my bike, panniers and all.

My instant reaction was to be apologetic as I should have been watching what was happening on both sides, until two more blokes arrived and told me to keep him on the ground with the bike. He'd stolen something from a shop and they were chasing him, which is why he ran out in front of me without looking (and with hindsight even if I'd been looking that way I still might not have had time to react).

But it doesn't end there. In the queue of traffic there was a police car. They saw it all, pulled up and heard the story, searched the guy and found the stolen stuff. At this point they said they'd take him to hospital and deal with him there.

I've got another one...

About 20 years ago, my mum and I were eating at a restaurant. We were enjoying our main course whilst a man on a nearby table was trying to pay (his friends had left). It became clear that there was a problem with his payment card. Some time passed and two female police officers walked in (clearly had been called by the restaurant). One went to speak to the server, the other stayed near the man. The man then made a break for it, running out of the door, and we heard the officer shout to her colleague ("FIONA!") They both set off in pursuit. We were AGOG! A a couple of minutes later, the two officers (one of them missing her hat) drag him back into the restaurant, with him looking quite dishevelled and sheepish - there had clearly been a bit of a struggle. We felt like giving them a round of applause.

I was at a junction of a side road (small B road) that joined a 70mph dual carriageway, there was barely any slip road, about 20 yards to get out in a gap and had to get from 0mp to 50+mph without causing an accident. It was also on a bit of a curve so didn’t get much chance to see a gap coming. Nightmare junction really and to top it off I was in a tiny Citroen C2. Car behind was a BMW (shock) who refused to wait behind me, some flashy knob in a suit and aviator glasses. We’d only been at the junction about 20 seconds but he decided to drive round me. It was ridiculously dangerous as we both could have moved off at the same time. Anyway, get a mile or so down the road and he was doing the walk of shame, getting out his vehicle escorted by an officer. I did a massive whoop! As I drove past. Should have tooted my horn

I wonder what they thought the conductor was going to do? It's not as if he could have turfed you out of your booked seats even if your DH had been rude.

My old neighbour

At the time I was a skint single mum and in need of a bigger council house

We managed to get an exchange from a two to a three bed house-I was unbelievably grateful-it was bigger and we needed the space

Turns out it was right next door to the school bully who I hadn't seen in over ten years

I was happy to have abigger house and was even happier to ignore her

She,however took offence to us moving in next door and started a pure hate campaign against us (which didn't work as most of the street knew my family and ignored or didn't care what she was saying)

It seemed to stem from the fact I was skinny (I'm not now!) had lovely kids,was happy single and was making the best of what I had-she had piled on the weight,her kids where just like her and she would never have enough in life-she always wanted more

The level of pure hate that was leveled at us was insane

We finally moved after two murders in the street (one had got into a fight with someone and the other bloke saw his arse about losing so had gone round and killed him and someone else-i don't know the exact details) and I found a bigger house to rent in a much nicer area

Her final parting shot to us was 'you'll never amount to anything,have anything and your dds will end up pregnant and your ds's will end up on the streets'

I ignored her and we moved

A few years later,i met my now dp,bought a house together,my kids have grown up,one has got his girlfriend (soon to be wife) pregnant,all have good careers,all have good lives and are happy

Her kids?

One got pregnant at 14 and again at 16 (with twins and had all 3 taken away) and the other got a girl pregnant,fucked off and is now a drug addict who keeps getting arrested for battering women

Oh and next door herself?

She's still in her council house,no money,her dp married her and fucked off a year later to be with the ow,she has nothing to show for her life and is very bitter (and still slagging me off)

I do feel for her kids-dad did his best for them but the apple just didn't fall far enough from the tree

Her?

Karma got her in the end

Awful guy at work decided he hated me. When I was having dd he told everyone he hoped the baby was stillborn. He was pure evil.

He was later caught stealing from the firm and escorted from the premises. His whole life was that job and he turned to cocaine. Lost his house and ended up living back with mum and dad. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

What a horrible thing to say!! Did you report him to the manager. He should have been sacked for gross misconduct

Read them all but I don't think that this one has been topped

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

I think it should be a phrase for when karma catches up with someone!

I was quite shy and introvert at school and had a domineering friend who always knew better,
Part of our summer uniform was blue gingham dresses, We could have any design we liked as long as they were blue gingham, My mum took me to a dress maker and had them made up as shift dresses with pintucked yolk and puffed sleeves. Dom Friend told that they were stupid and childish and everyone would laugh at me...Not So..!! All the girls loved them,,even the Needlework teacher said how nice they were..Dom Friends face was green..
A small victory but soooooo good,
Same friend..started to smoke and tried to encourage/bully me into starting, The usual crap about what a baby i was etc.
We met up again not so long ago,,she still smokes.....She says to me...between coughs,,' ,you look really young,, considering we are the same age '
I say,,,'well..im a slave to Estee Lauder...and Iv never smoked..

Another small victory ,,but luscious..

Absolutely beautiful. Well done!
(and what an utter shit he was)

I haven't got anything personally but I think when those in high office are hopefully brought to justice for the Horizon/post office scandal it is going to be the best example of Karma we have ever seen and I for one cannot wait!

Ooh - I've just thought of one! Not karma as such, but a wonderful moment of comeuppance against a braggy school mum!

At primary school one of my friends' Mum's seemed to create her own rivalry with my own Mum, whereby she wanted her daughter to do everything I did, but bigger and better. She was definitely Queen Bee and bragged about everything my friend did and looked down on us as we were poorer and didn't own our own home, etc. Proper snob.

My Mum just grumbled about her to my Dad after I'd gone to bed and never let on to me how annoying she was, so I maintained my friendship with this girl throughout our primary years.

Me and my friend went our separate ways to different secondary schools and our paths only really occasionally crossed so our parents didn't need contact with each other.

Roll on a number of years and GCSE results day. My friend's Mum out of the blue phones my Mum to "ask how Elves got on in her GCSEs". My DM realised the other Mum obviously thought she had bragging rights, so asked how her DD had got on first.

"Oh, she did wonderfully! Top of the year in fact! 3 A's, 3 B's and 3 C's. The teachers are ever so proud of her - there's talk of prizes and everything! So, how did Elves do?"

My DM says she's never smiled so much as she said "Oh, that's great that your DD was top of her year. We're ever so proud of Elves. She got 2 As, 3A's, 2 B's and 2 C's. Oh and did you hear about ElvesBF? She got 10 As! Amazing aren't they, all these smart kids!"

My DM never heard from her again!

@RocketDog101 fwiw I assumed you meant them, not you!

Sadly he was the manager
