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...

When I was a child my family were close to another family, I was friends with the eldest boy as we were the same age, as we got into our teens tongues wagged but we were honestly always just friends, his Nan however had a massive problem with us being friends was convinced something was going on and that our parents should be putting a stop to it. She nearly blew a blood vessel when we were allowed to camp in the garden one night (we only lasted until 10pm when we came in as it was to cold and wanted to watch the telly - apparently our parents had put on bets about how long we'd last 😂) She was always on my mums door "reporting me" for misbehaving, called me a tart for wearing combats and vest top a la 1999 etc etc. very unpleasant woman.

The ironic thing was she had a huge family of 5 daughters (who had gone on to have have at least 3-4 child each themselves) most of who were terribly behaved - police involvement was common. I moved away but when whenever I spoke to my friend he always had updates of the latest dramas.

Of the one set of siblings (the women's grandchildren) I have on social media:
Girl 1: Never married, 5 kids by 3 men
Girl 2: Never married, 4 kids by 3 men. One unknown, one who went awol from the army after grooming a 14 year old, third father seems reasonably normal.
Girl 3: First child by a married man who was arrested as part of a child sx trafficking ring and whose picture was on the national news. Married to the second father who hot-footed back to his home country when he realised you cant just marry an British person and request citizenship, its actually a bit more complicated than that...
Girl 4: 2 children, still lives at home in her 40's never had a boyfriend that anyone has seen, refuses to name the fathers of the children.

I've been with the same man for 20 years, married for 10 and had one child at 37. I'm still friends with the "boy" and his lovely wife. I went to her funeral a few years ago and I mentioned to my friends mum that I could never understand why she didn't like like and she said "no me either, but she really did hate you" 😂

Group of us went out for dinner , have all known each other for years so when bill comes we normally just split it. This day a friend brought one of their friends and partner, the place we were eating wasnt great so i just had chips and we had been paying separately for drinks.
The bill came and it would have been about £15 per person including tip , so the couple would have been £30 , well the friend of a friend said "im pregnant i havnt been drinking or eaten loads so im not paying that much" so we said fine we will all pay for what we had , the boyfriend had added all of his drinks to the bill instead of paying as goes along like the rest of us , when she saw the bill she changed her mind and wanted to split , her final bill worked out £65 instead of the 30 it couldhave been

@wonderings2 i had a BF in primary and her mother always hated me, always called me a ‘bad influence’. As we got older she got worse with it and told her she shouldn’t hang around with me.
The thing is I was the most boring teenager alive, all I did was draw in my room, whilst everyone else was out taking drugs and shagging in fields.
BF and all 3 of her sisters got pregnant at 15/16. We were all Catholic families. Her mum was so embarrassed by it all.

That reminds me of that story about the miners' strikes. When it snowed the pickets built a snowman to keep themselves busy, the children loved it. Some delightful police driver drove straight at it and destroyed it. So the miners built another snowman, this time when the police turned up the driver really put his foot down and drove straight into it again. Unfortunately for him, this time they'd built it over a concrete bollard.

I made the very stupid mistake of getting passport photos done in a heavy face of makeup some years ago. Thought, "I look nice today! I'll finally get round to getting those passport photos done."

I look like a Russian spy on my passport and the facial recognition machines never think it's me!

My ex was the biggest CF ever.

We had spilt up (not married) I paid him out of the house, he accepted a pay off and he signed a document to say that he had no further claim on house not done through lawyers. This was our children's home.

Finally after paying all the debts that he had run up and getting a job that paid enough for me to get the mortgage solely in my name, I approached him and he said that he would sign the form. I was to pay for an hour appointment.

He decided that he would go for half the house, and could not remember ever getting a pay off.

He went all the way to Barristers and my solicitor had to send loads of proof, including the bank transfer.

Finally he was told that he did not have a leg to stand on, my his very expensive Barrister and come back saying he wanted 10k and all his legal costs paid for, he did not know that I knew he had instructed a Barrister.

I settled by paying First hour of the solicitor to sign the transfer document.

It cost him 11K to find out he was a liar and a C@@t I could have done that for free. It still makes me laugh now.

Since I read this comment, every time I now see a post with 'NC for this' I read it in my head as Nacho cheesed for this! Which is really amusing me 😄

Now that is cheeky fuckery and karma - live this

I agree wholeheartedly this post is so funny. @WiddlinDiddlin you have a great way with words!

That's the price of a house

This one is just plain funny!

DP and I have just had to apply for new passports and he was nagging me about making sure my (admittedly) somewhat unruly curls didn't hide my eyes and ears. OK fine. Telling me once is OK. Telling me 6 more times, including in front of the photographer, is not.

Guess whose picture was rejected by the Passport Office? (Hint - not mine!)

@WiddlinDiddlin When I used to ride horses there was an Enormo-Cob stabled there. He always reminded me of Tim-Nice-But-Dim from the Harry Endfield Show. A very dear boy, but you wouldn't have wanted him on the stables quiz team...

Excellent story though - it boils my p*ss when drivers are inconsiderate or aggressive towards horses (and riders) and livestock in the road.

Around 15 years ago I worked for an absolute basket case of a company. Horrible bullying boss, toxic environment. I ended up very depressed and anxious. One day I snapped and walked out, telling them if they wanted me to work my notice they could whistle, and that I gave them two years before they went bust.

Reader, they went bust in two years and one day. And the bullying boss was dragged into a shareholder lawsuit. I enjoyed it all immensely.

Nice to read what my thread inspired @Bethany83 so many CFs out there

I admit, when I was ill in bed this weekend I watched a lot of instant road karma videos on fb. Obsessed !

I'm sure i've mentioned this previously on mumsnet but I'll add it in here too for the kharma....

We had agreed to sell our place and MiL sell hers and we buy a place together so we could look after MiL who was getting pretty infirm. So both places on the market and we had an offer on ours, then MiL did on hers and then they pulled out. Second offer on MiL's and that fell through.

Finally a 3rd offer. Woman buying was a complete nightmare, needed something fixed, wasn't sure about this that or the other, on and on. What was worse was that this was a leasehold flat in an old vicarage and the freeholders lived in the ground floor flat but had only been there about a year so knew nothing about the place and had bought without getting all the right paperwork done.

So eventually woman buyer's solicitor said she needed a form from the freeholders to confirm everything that had been done to the place in the last so many decades. Which of course they didn't know. So we filled out the form as inlaws had lived there for 30 years. But the freeholders refused to sign it and so we had to go to their solicitor and pay £600 to get the solicitor to sign despite never even having seen the place. Finally, finally after months of frustration, me in tears at work every time I got a call from our solicitor, our buyer nearly pulling out after waiting for NINE blinking months!!! Finally everything was signed, sold, us moved into lovely new house. PHEW!

2 weeks later I got a call from the freeholders saying water was pouring in through their ceiling into their lovely newly renovated flat from MiL's old flat. They couldn't get hold of the woman who bought it as she was renovating before moving to the area. So freeholders were begging me to come and get let them in to the flat so they could turn off the water.

I have to admit I felt a bit sorry for them but pointed out that we didn't own the place and had handed over the keys to the estate agent so couldn't help. Much more pleading and crying "what should we do? you've got to help!!" Finally I said "well MiL did have a key safe by the door and I know we didn't take that key with us. I don't know if the buyer has changed the code but you could try 1234 and see if it works but I'm not saying you should" They hung up, obviously rushing off to see if this would work and apparently it did.

I did get an email later to say that woman buyer wanted to know why we had given the freeholders access so she could tell the police as she wanted them charged with unlawful entry. I didn't respond.

It does but in this context it means ‘name changed’. It has more than one meaning.

Exception that proves the rule Sinner. 😂

And I have to admit that I have always had a problem with that story - especially when after his family are slaughtered when the house falls on them, and later Job is redeemed, he gets a new wife and new kids - not the old ones back, so those poor buggers are still dead.

But anyway it's allegorical . . .

I bought him a king size Twix for his support.

You can get a King Size Twix? 😍😍😍

I am impressed by the mental acrobatics you've performed to give @Wishlist99 a hard time for telling someone who was horrible to her for walking slowly why she was walking slowly

Oohh - that's where that bit in Good Omens came from! (I knew I should have paid attention in Bible Studies but tbf I think it was mostly New Testament.)

I was accused of secretly practicing

You cunning bastards who put in the time, effort and hard work to get good at something make me sick!

And you even more cunning bastards who just happen to align with the stars on a particular day are even worse! 😂

Nice one, Branston

All the sex, drugs and violence is in the OT - it's good stuff. (No Rock 'n' Roll, but you can't have everything . . . )

Thank you.

Mental acrobatics is my speciality

I just thought of one. My MIL was an academic before she retired. She was hired to head an academic department at a regional university. On her first day there, she got into the lift to go up to the floor where her office was, and a bloke got on with her. The bloke asked if she was new, and she said that today was her first day. He asked whose secretary she was going to be. She replied that she was the new Dean of this department and asked him whose secretary he would like to be.
