Any good CF comeuppance tales?

[lolliplop]

As i'm currently going through the most mind-blowing CF situation, and waiting for the courts to open a case against them, please can you point me in the direction to the best CF threads where they got their comeuppance. This will hopefully give me some reassurance that CFs don't always get away with it!

You do mean the top of the car right? Otherwise I think I might know why they were all waving!

@DelphiniumBlue income on French property has to be declared to the French tax authorities and paid in France.
The French tax office are very strict and if they find out what your friend is doing they will fine her €1500 a year for up to 3 years plus demand all the tax due.

It was far too cold for that sort of malarkey!

I witnessed a similar thing. Driving on a 20mph road, the car in front of me was driving like a bellend- impatiently trying to overtake the car in front of him (who was driving at the speed limit), revving aggressively, swerving out towards oncoming traffic dangerously. We headed towards traffic lights and it was changing to red just before I got there. Bellend driver in front drove straight through the red light. I stopped at the lights, and when it went green and I drove around the corner, bellend driver had been pulled over by some police detectives who it turned out were in the unmarked car he was trying to aggressively overtake on the 20mph road. It was hilarious to see his sheepish expression as they were giving him a bollocking on the side of the road 😂

DM had an elderly godmother, M, who was a wealthy widow, no children, and she eventually went into a care home. DM used to see her regularly, but didn't need to do much for her, because she had G, a retired accountant and friend, who was an "absolute treasure", looked after her accounts and whatnot. G managed to become M's PoA and he was the sole beneficiary of her will. DM was fine with that, as long as M was happy and safe.

Over the course of a year or so, it became clear that G was not running M's finances for M's benefit, but in fact, he was feathering his own nest. It came to a head when DM went to see M and found her in tears - she didn't even have enough money to pay for her weekly hair appointment or buy a newspaper. She confessed to DM that she though maybe G wasn't running things as he should. So DM looked into it.

Well, it turned out he was billing her a huge amount for his "services", and had been steadily milking M's bank accounts to the tune of over £50k. Ridiculous, inflated charges. M was devastated, and changed her will, so when she died a year or so later, G got nothing. The irony is, if he'd just kept M happy during her lifetime no-one would have ever found out, and he would have got all her money eventually. But he was just too greedy to wait.

G got his comeuppance, and was prosecuted and convicted of fraud... he couldn't pay all the money back, but a lot was recovered.

I was walking into Sainsbury's a couple of weeks ago and as I passed the disabled parking area a young woman pulled in and popped her blue badge on the windscreen. Immediately a couple started shouting at her, telling her she didn't look disabled. She just smiled and said that they didn't look like a pair of twats but hey. The pair of them just stood with their mouths open. She was brilliant!

Sorry.
That's was for @MyKindHiker

I came across this on Threads this week. In order to get rid of squatters people in the USA have been giving this guy a legal tenancy to basically move in and be a right royal pain in the arse until they give up and move out. Technically they can't stop it as they have no right to be there themselves.
I thought it was genius, he must have brass balls though !

His name isnt Lee Andrews by any chance?

I kept thinking this was a story about a Ford car! Why do you keep capitalising "ford"? 😂

A flatmate had a horrible dad who would ring our landline at 7am every weekend day because he didn’t approve of lie ins. We both had extremely long hours stressful jobs.

He was a rabble rouser politician in his own country and sadly was assassinated. I was sad for them of course but not as sad as I probably should have been.

To be fair that’s comeuppance on international scale.

When this happened to me and I refused to pay (I had chicken tikka and a diet coke vs his many double Bombay Sapphire’s, fish starter and steak main) the proposer of the split bill took me to one side and told me it was bad form because me paying for what I’d had meant other people paid more. He didn’t quite understand the irony of that.

Years ago when I was 17, young and attractive, I was being catcalled by a man on the other side of the street. Pretty obvious who he was calling to. Me. Of course I ignored him. But i turned my head and I noticed that as he walked along he wasn’t looking where he was going and did indeed walk straight into a lamppost and fell over. I did see this though and couldn’t help but laugh.

DH was managing a road closure. A very arrogant man (whom DH knew but the AM didn’t know DH because a road worker would be well under his radar as being hugely inferior) demanded to be let through. DH advised road was closed and he would have to go via the diversion. After several more demands including the threat to “report DH to his superiors” and being offered DH’s phone to make the call, he shouted “do you know who I am” and drove off.

Later that evening we visited DD’s school and queued up to see her maths teacher. The teacher’s face when he recognised DH from his earlier meet up at the road closure was priceless. Particularly when DH said to him “Good evening Mr S - do you know who I am - I’m one of the parents who pays your wages”!

I work in the industry and our engineers have recently been driven at and spat at. All because the local council failed to inform residents of huge road closures. We’re just the contractor but some idiots think our engineers just turn up out the blue and decided to open the road for fun.

I was delivering a cast iron range cooker. I had my drivers mate with me who was about as much use as a chocolate teapot despite his tall hight and massive frame. Called to the recipients house and was shocked to find that we needed to carry this over about a dozen steps that led into the back garden. I told them that there were no notes on the delivery papers to mention this( if you buy buy furniture or white goods,the ALWAYS ask if there are any restrictions.)
Buyer starts yelling and belittling me saying " fancy sending a little woman to do a man's job ,my wife would sling this over her shoulder and wouldn't think anything of it". I said it would not be safe to handball an item this heavy over a flight of steps and that they will need to find an alternative method,ie a crane to move it.
Shouty man signs the delivery note and tells me and my mate to clear off. He and his three mates proceed to try to lift the collosal stove their knees visibly shaking. Got back in the cab and mate was actually crying 😢 with laughter as was I and Mr shouty shot us a filthy look.

I once had a job working on a busy reception desk at a large institution which had hundreds of visitors a day. We were a little off the beaten track so we often used to call taxis for people on request to get them back to the station etc. We had the phone number of a local taxi firm saved on our desk phone so used them by default.

One day on my way into work to open up I was reversing into a space in our largely empty (private) car park. Because there was no gate at the time anyone could enter, even though it was technically private property. A taxi came screeching in and drove behind me as I was reversing nearly causing an accident and then gave me a mouthful of sexist abuse. He used the car park to turn around, flipped me the finger and drove off.

My boss noticed I was a bit rattled when I went in and I told him what happened. He immediately got on to the taxi company and asked why their driver was harassing his staff, especially as they were at fault and illegally using the car park. Taxi firm tried to deny it but we had CCTV so they backed down.

They got the driver in to give an insincere apology but our main revenge was to remove their number from the phones and use a different company instead. Lost them at least 50 fares a day. When they rang to ask why we had done this my boss told them exactly why and out the phone down. Every so often they try again and get told where to stick it.

Boss was a great boss 😊

Yeah, let's all blame the OW...

Ooh I have one! For so long I have had nothing to contribute to these CF threads and now I do!!

DH was driving along the motorway and I was passenger. We came up to a car that was a) hogging the middle lane b) going far too slowly and c) most importantly had terrible lane control and was swooping over the lines really badly. Perhaps they were texting? But you get the idea.

DH was worried about being near such a liability and so moved to overtake when she wandered over the line again and nearly came into our side. DH flashed and as we passed her, I have to confess that I did glare at her.

Coming up to some traffic lights, we were going straight on and she drove up on our left as was about to filter off that way. As she drew alongside she was shouting and gesticulating at us so much through the window that she failed to notice that the traffic in her lane had come to a halt and, whilst swearing extravagantly at us, she crashed into the car in front!!

It wasn’t a bad crash. A bump loud enough for everyone to hear - she didn't face plant into the steering wheel or anything (very nearly) but we did struggle to keep straight faces!!

Cancel the cheque.

Without a doubt, I would have laughed so hard I would have broken something.
People falling over makes me laugh inappropriately. That guy falling over and stunt rolling would have almost killed me.

Mine is very petty.
Early 20s, shopping in Camden. Found a dress I loved, took it up to the fitting room. The tall elegant goth at the door looked me up and down and said: "It won't fit you"
I went home and cried.
Months later, working in a shop on Carnaby Street, tall element goth brings in her CV. Had a lovely chat about how good her customer service is, what an asset she would be.
Ripped up her CV before she even left the shop.

I love to see any time something that someone criticised me for, happens to them - gaining weight, being cheated on, single mother, child with issues. I don't randomly wish those things on people and don't see any of those as negative but:

• if you bullied me at school for being fat but are now the thing you clearly despise...
• if you very vocally blamed me for my XH cheating but now your DH has been caught shagging about...
• if you said women should just pick better because being a single mum isn't fair on the kids, but now you are one...
• if you told me you simply 'wouldn't put up' with my child's MH problems and it was my parenting but now you are facing fighting the system constantly to get help for your child and gaining some fucking empathy for once...

THEN GOOD. Love to see it.

These are all separate people btw and one is my mother!

Unfortunately it doesn't happen often enough and many shit on others and then their lives pan out wonderfully and they forever think they got it right and everyone else deserved their challenges.
