Karma with inconveniences

52 replies

If you wanted someone to get karma but nothing too severe what minor inconveniences would you give them forever more.

I'd start with their pillow always being warm
Their nails would always snag
They'd get their clothes stuck on every door handle
Every traffic light would turn red as they came upto them.

Any more genius ideas or am I just mean 😂

They'd lose their keys or phone - both are a right pain
Dodgy rash on undercarriage
Their car reg gets cloned (when that happened to us it took ages to sort with council etc re spurious parking tickets and speeding fines). Also the Police kept stopping me thinking it was driving the dodgy uninsured cloned car!

Their contactless to never work so they have to insert the card and enter their pin. Every. Single. Time.

foxychox · 10/04/2024 16:39

To live on a busy junction so that they have traffic idling outside their house most of the time - I waited for the karma and it was served just like this 😁

OzziePopPop · 10/04/2024 16:46

Identity theft was the ultimate inconvenience!

KeepingItUnderTheRadar · 10/04/2024 16:48

Every battery they used would be of very poor quality and would run out after a day. Same with light bulbs.

vidflex · 10/04/2024 16:51

Their sleeve would catch on the door handle as they pass through everytime

SingingSands · 10/04/2024 16:51

That they would have to reset every PIN or login. Every single one. 😈

😂😂 Thanks for that.

I'll also add

A bird shits on their windscreen every morning and it smears as they try to wash it off.
They stub their toe every time they get out of bed.
The toaster burns their toast every time.
The trolley they pick in the supermarket always has the wonky wheel.

Every pull tab on every seal on every bottle of milk shall snap off.

Every ring pull shall do the same.

Farahfawsett · 10/04/2024 17:16

A smoke alarm that always starts beeping at 2am, but you can't work out which one to get it fixed.

Geebray · 10/04/2024 17:18

The last bit of milk left in the house is always off.

darkchocolatecoffee · 10/04/2024 17:19

-tap dripping and can’t be fixed
-heating turns up a degree every day until unbearable

Churchview · 10/04/2024 17:23

Their socks always slide down in wellington boots.

The forget they were on their last roll of toilet paper.

Their reading glasses are always in the car when they get to the parking meter.

PlasticOno · 10/04/2024 17:25

Their vibrator runs out of juice at an unhelpful juncture and there are no more AA batteries in the house.

(Or, if a man, their blow-up sex doll deflates.)

siriusblackcat · 10/04/2024 17:27

Loving these!

Keep them coming.

PriscillaPresssley · 10/04/2024 17:36

Everything they order online is too small

SabreIsMyFave · 10/04/2024 17:38

They get a bust tyre whilst in the deepest reaches of Snowdonia National Park, and find the battery is dead on their phone.

notprincehamlet · 10/04/2024 17:48

An eternity of underwear that rides up and shoes where one is slightly too small and the other slightly too big

Woahtherehoney · 10/04/2024 17:53

one side of their headphones will always not work

they lose their remote control

they are always 1 minute late for their train and have to wait ages for the next one

Never any clean cutlery or plates when they are in a rush

Getting comfy in bed then needing to get up to wee

Woahtherehoney · 10/04/2024 17:55

Oooh and their favourite lunch spot always being out of stock of their favourite option.

SiobhanSharpe · 10/04/2024 17:57

A lovely meal in their favourite restaurant has unfortunate gastric consequenes.
(nothing severe, just a 12 hour thing.)

SeaToSki · 10/04/2024 18:05

The wifi would slow down just enough that videos would stop and start every 30 seconds

the dishwasher tablet would get stuck in the compartment thingy every time so the dishes wouldn’t wash properly

every time they paused a streaming video part way through it would reset to the beginning

whenever they pulled up to a petrol pump there would be a sign saying out of order, but they wouldnt see it until they had got out of the car

every dc friend invited home for tea or being given a lift would go “ooo my Mummy’s car isnt messy like this, or “ooo my Daddy always cooks us a proper tea from scratch and with 2 vegetables”

TokyoSushi · 10/04/2024 18:08

They always open tablets at the leaflet end.

siriusblackcat · 10/04/2024 18:08

The USB is the wrong way round no matter how many times you turn it.

The ATM swallow their card every time.

The biscuits are always broken.

Every satsuma is dry.
