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...

My horrific ex husband met some other mug woman and moved away (DD hasn’t seen him at all in the last 2 years).

Found out through a random FB post that the huge wedding they’d been paying off for 18 months was off because the venue went bust and they were unlikely to get much if any money back. I felt bad for all the other couples in the same position, but them…. NAH!

I'm probably going to get roasted for this one... took our ten month old baby on a flight to the US to see his grandparents (never again, lesson learnt).

It was a night flight and I was trying to get him to sleep. Woman in the seat in front of us stood in the aisle talking and laughing obnoxiously loudly to her friends the other side of the aisle. DH politely asked her if she could keep it down as we were trying to get the baby to sleep. She ignored us.

Baby did not sleep, went really hyper. She went to sit back down. Baby stood up on my lap, leant forward to the woman (now sitting in front of us), whacked her on the head with a toy and pulled her hair.

She turned around to say something. Realised it was us. Didn't say anything.

Ds and I were coming from the metro station, (not UK) passed a plain police car containing a mobile speed cam. Walked past and just round the corner in a quiet residential street, we started crossing and a car came at immense speed in a 30 zone, so that I had to grab DSs arm and we scurried to finish crossing, and the car didn't even try to brake. He went round the corner almost on two wheels and straight into the arms of the police....

In my early twenties my long term first real love boyfriend cheated on me with a girl who used to work in the pub we spent most Fridays. I was utterly crushed and to top it off they were both so smug about it when it came to light.

Fast forward 3 years, I’m happy, single and about to go travelling around aus. I’ve not seen ex since I found out about the cheating but I happened to be in a completely different city visiting my nan before I went travelling when I randomly and literally bump into my ex at the train station as I’m going for the train home. We end up clearing the air and having a few (a lot of) drinks, tells me he’s single now, deeply regrets it and after more drinks he invites me back to his hotel room he’s staying in for work and I accept. Lots of drinks and a wild night in bed followed. He goes to get a shower and I see his phone ringing, I answer it and it’s the bloody barmaid he cheated with…they’re still together!

I took great pleasure in telling her exactly what had happened, grab my stuff and leave. I bumped into
them about 5 years after it happened and it was oh so satisfying to see the rage on their faces :-)

When I left dh he refused to let me take any photos of the dc (old days albums) so he stashed them in his car at all times.. His car was in the garage for a service and an electoral fault saw it burnt out. Complete with albums... Even better it wasn't insured so he got zero pounds off anyone..

You both lost all the photos you ever owned of your children?

Doing 30 in a 30 zone. Car behind too close, obviously itching to get past. Slowed down just a little, they overtook, and promptly got flashed by a speed camera.

I also had one of those! The car behind me was flashing lights, beeping as it went past etc… then flash went the speed camera.

I had a 3work trip to New York. Originally it was 2 arseholes colleagues and not me, but our boss added me on, enraging the 2 arseholes colleagues.

They froze me out of all discussions, wouldn't tell me their travel plans (I only knew from the nice lady who booked such things, who kindly told me) and I ended up on different flights and in a different hotel. Arseholes.

They skived off most of the work and left it all to me, and on the last day (only time I saw them) I said to them at lunchtime that I expected they would be leaving soon to make sure they caught their (rather early) flight home.

Arsehole no1 said "Oh ffs, Fromage, I think we can manage to make our way back to JFK fgs!"

I smiled and said "Of course you can" and walked away with my dignity, as Arsehole 1 continued to bitch about me loudly to Arsehole 2, who did seem a bit embarrassed about it all.

Later I saw them in JFK, apparently having indeed missed their flight and desperately trying to get on something standby. Good.

I was not surprised at this at all.

Partly because I knew they'd not left enough time to get back to their hotel, and then to the airport.

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

My dd had been going to her weekly club for some time. Then one evening when I went to collect her she seemed a bit down. One of the other girls had dared her to do something she wasn't comfortable with so she told her no, she wouldn't do it. The girl said "what's the mater? Are you chicken? Bawk, bawk, bawk, you're a chicken!" She wouldn't drop it and kept making chicken noises at her all evening.
The next week my little girl went back to the club. The other girl never turned up.
Turned out she had chicken pox.
We had such a laugh about it.

Years ago I stopped to let a flock of sheep cross the road, the guy coming the other way...driving a jag, decided to slowly keep going,nudging the first sheep, at which point it hopped onto his bonnet,then roof and over his car...and the rest of the flock(at least 100) followed suit. I'll never forget the look on his face! 🐑 🐏 🐑 🤣🤣

Fromage · 05/04/2024 22:39

lol mrswinter69

If you counted at least a hundred sheep, it must have been the laughter that kept you awake.

Years ago when my son was in reception, we had an issue with a set of parents who didn't like him playing with their daughter. The children were great friends, but they took exception to DS as the only boy in a group of girls.

To be honest they made our lives hell for the first 6 months of his school life picking on any slight issue and it only stopped when the head teacher said in short, that if they weren't happy, other primary schools were available but they would probably find other 4 years olds there too 🫤.

Among other things, the Dad had taken to staking out the playground to 'keep an eye' 🙄 But they never said a direct word to me at all. The whole thing was just weird as hell.

One day the Dad & I were walking towards each other heading for the school gate and he had a huge 5 balloon and a scooter with a bow on it for his daughter, so I smiled and said 'How lovely!' Just as he tripped over the scooter and the balloon sailed off into the sky.....

A shame for the child, and slightly evil of me, but it made me so so happy.

Worked with a woman who wasn’t particularly good at her job but had been there a long time and thought she was very superior to everyone. I was the newcomer.
She was bitchy about the young people we worked with, got constantly drunk and did sweet fa on an overseas trip. She spouted a lot about her husband, a local doctor, in a ‘ we’re so perfect and superior all round’ sort of way. I left the company over one of her bitchy episodes that badly affected some young vulnerable people ( got a better job, huge salary increase) A year later I heard her husband had left her for his practice cleaner. Apparently the woman’s job was what outraged her most.

What a horrible man. I guess it's karma but also so sad for you!

My husband had a lifelong childhood friend. His friend's fiancé thought he wasn't good enough and told his friend that he couldn't have my hubby as a best man . They chose a best man who in her eyes was a professional from a middle class family .

This best man turned up drunk at the wedding and was so drunk he couldn't barely get his speech out and couldn't read the cards ( many years ago ) He had to sit down halfway through and then run out of the room to vomit 🤮 The brides face was a picture and we laughed like drains in the way home .

@Frutiloopy this is almost exactly what happened to my husband. The fiancé didn't think my husband was good enough to be best man and so chose for her husband-to-be (talk about a red flag). She's the type who's only interested in wealth, status and general cock-measuring so selected a rich, well-connected schmoozer with a brand new Porsche who has showing off down to an art.

The groom to be pathetically told my husband that it was 'her decision- it wasn't his' at the stag.

Anyway, come the wedding day, and the top table's looking a bit light.... turns out best man's wife and 4 kids didn't attend as she'd left him after finding out he'd been cheating on her with multiple women. It ended up being the talk of the whole day.

The snobby bride clearly then distanced them both from best man as Mr Flash was mysteriously absent from the groom/husband's 40th 11 months later. Probably that and the fact they're not actually even close enough for him to bother.

AutumnColour89 · 06/04/2024 05:49

My dad's second wife has been hateful to me and my sisters since they got together when we were children 25 odd years ago (father always too pathetic to stand up).

A couple of years ago my cousin got married at the church my grandfather is buried at. While trying to get a (strange) photo of my dad and their two kids standing by his grave, she tripped and fell over backwards, sprawled across his grave flashing her gusset to all the guests.

I like to think that was my grandfather dishing out some well overdue karma (and showing us all he a wicked sense of humour).
