Karma with inconveniences

52 replies

siriusblackcat · 10/04/2024 16:05

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 😂

Their engine light or tyre pressure light would come on every time they got into the car. That's infuriating!!

Sounds like rodents in the attic, or small children running and laughing in a creepy way

at 3am everyday the tv turns on by itself in the living room

Bad hair day for an interview, crisps pop in their handbag, dog poo shoe, buttons always fall off their favourite trousers

MissKittyFantastico84 · 10/04/2024 18:19

To always be sat by the toilets in a restaurant

To always end up with the middle seat on a plane

Their spatula will always get jammed in the drawer and prevent it from opening

There will always be a small pebble in their shoe

Something will always explode in their washbag

Every fizzy drink will fizz everywhere on opening - the more public the occasion, the fizzier it will be

They'll always miss a spot when shaving their legs

Every loose paving slab will squirt water up their legs.

They will struggle to open the door to a meeting room and look like an idiot, four times a year, once a quarter

Forevermore.

They will step on a small piece of lego when getting out of bed

There will be a coin they can feel in the lining of their coat but they cannot for the life of them get to it via the hole in their pocket.

DrJoanAllenby · 10/04/2024 18:30

A large pimple on the end of their nose whenever they have to do a presentation/public/speaking/video call etc.

Incurable dandruff.

Hiccups five times a day.

Always getting someone's name wrong.

A bout of sneezing when introduced to a very attractive person of the opposite sex.

Honking like a goose when orgasm is reached.

Phone number one digit different to a sex worker so that they get several wrong number calls a day asking for Big Maud and describing a filthy sex act.

A serial killer is in the headlines and they have the exact same name as you and even look like you.

Whenever you enter a store, nightclub or establishment where music is played, the song 'Who let the dogs out' is blasted out.

The jam lid is on wonky and always sticky

Sunnysidegold · 10/04/2024 19:29

I read one once where someone wished someone a lifetime of making a fart noise when they sat on a leather seat but never being able to replicate it to prove it wasn't an actual fart.

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

Even better they would knock the inside of their arm on the end of a door handle.

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.

Oh

I never take fewer than three goes to get a USB in, now wondering what I have done : {

notprincehamlet · 10/04/2024 19:48

a red sock in every white wash

LordBummenbachsMagnificentBalls · 10/04/2024 19:50

That all of their sneezes get stuck in their nose instead of coming out, leaving them with that uncomfortable sensation of an arrested sneeze

Devilsmommy · 10/04/2024 19:54

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

Every ring pull shall do the same.

Oooh good one. Fucking hate them on my soya milk😡

Shetlands · 10/04/2024 20:02

Every trip to the loo ends up with their skirt tucked into their knickers and loo paper stuck to their shoes.

Every online purchase fails at the checkout as their wifi drops out.

They're always out when the 'signed for' delivery arrives.

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

Edited

Damn. Do I know you? I've just had 3 light bulbs go on me in the space of 3 days Grin

I have nothing actually helpful to contribute but I do want to say I now have

karma karma karma karma karma convenience
You come and go

etc

In my head

(And now so do you. You're welcome)

This is a joke right

Chameleon?

I haven't read full thread.

I'm just hoping to put on that Enya #1 classic - Save The Wales.

cheeseandketchupsandwich · 10/04/2024 22:20

Oh god these are hilarious 😂

May I add:

-every time they sneeze, pee comes out and/or they fart at the same time
-every time they're in the shower it gives a freezing cold blast every 2 minutes, but when the plumber comes it behaves itself
-every time they step into or out of a lift, the door shuts on them
-every lace in every shoe is uneven
-every time they wash their clothes, they shrink a bit

BMW6 · 10/04/2024 22:29

Their knickers always go up their bum, no matter what type of pants they buy.

Their eyebrow hairs grow like Dennis Healey's overnight, every night.

Whenever they eat it feels like there's a hair in their mouth.

😂 I'm sorry.

They'll always forget to drink their brew until it's past optimum drinking temperature.

Their left shoe lace will constantly come undone, no matter how tight it's tied.

Their cat will wait until they're in a deep sleep then throw up under the bed, just out of reach.

Dog shits in their house everyday and they accidentally step in it with bare feet. Not gonna lie, this one is saved for the fuckers that don't clean up after their dog! 🤣

MuggleMe · 10/04/2024 22:53
  • They always run out of a vital ingredient they were sure they had just as it's needed for a cuppa/dinner/long awaited snack
  • devices never remember their passwords and are a pain to reset (same goes for Netflix not loading on TV)
  • poor/spotty wifi signal
  • neighbours renovating and drilling etc at inconvenient times of day but being really apologetic so you can't get righteously angry
  • never a good parking space
  • never a pound for the trolley when you need one
  • never bags when you need one but 4983 billion at home

Everything they cook sticks to the pan

If they boil an egg the white is always undercooked

They always spill their food down their clothes

Every public loo is occupied whenever they’re desperate for a wee

Moths eat holes in their best/most expensive clothes

The supermarket substitutes all their favourite food on every online order
