Any good CF comeuppance tales?

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!

An old school mum friend of mine was in a long term relationship with a bloke

Her blokes grandad was very sadly going to die within a week as he'd been very ill for months-it sounds awful but they'd arranged the funeral and it was 'when' and not 'if' this man was going to die

His sister had got the family together to say goodbye,all where stood,weeping and saying their goodbyes when my friend pipes up 'when he's actually dead,can I have his car?'

She couldn't understand why the whole family turned on her and started yelling at her

She didn't get the car and the family where 'bloody unreasonable' as she couldn't afford to buy herself one

It’s ‘when’ not ‘if’ for everyone, y’know?

Husband really put in the work immediately after confessing, and is actually a much better man / better husband than before it happened. If that hadn't been the case, I'd be happily divorced. He didn't get away with things, believe me.

Your post has made me really sad. The sheer glee of how things have turned out for the OW. But your husband is a better man for it. Just wow.

Jesus. You could start a thread about this and probably get some really useful advice from those familiar with the law in that country?

I think OP did have a thread, I remember reading it years ago. If it's the same person, I'm shocked to hear this is still going on.

I haven't posted about this before. I'm sorry to hear its happened to someone else and I hope got it resolved. I just don't know how these people live with themselves. I should be grieving for my Dad, but instead I'm cross with him for being so naive and trusting these utter scumbags. And for leaving me with this clusterfuck to sort out

What a way to derail a thread when it's been pointed out to you a few times that everyone else isn't enjoying it.

Oh do lighten up!

Accusing the poster of being "fixated" when you've just typed an essay.

Do you have any CF comeuppance stories to share?

I suggest the idiot poster who clearly has nothing better to do than to derail a thread with their pointless stupid comments might get it handed to them when they are picked apart one day for something they post.

In the meantime I suggest people just stop quoting them, ignore them entirely and don’t feed them….

You aren't actually the actual OW in the other poster's CF comeuppance story, are you?!

I work in a call centre.

One day a customer came through to me, “oh, your name is so sexy, goes with your voice. I bet you get hit on all the time.” I ignored him and just carried on with taking him through security and asking how I could help.

All through the questions he was making sleazy comments. “Are you single? If so I don’t imagine you will be for long, I certainly would if you get my drift.” I carried on ignoring, with a view to telling him to stop if he said anything more.

And then he failed security. 🤣.

His attitude changed immediately when I told him. “Well fuck you then!” And he hung up.

My neighbour had stolen at least one mail piece from me and attempted to steal another. She had also pulled other dirty tricks on me. I decided to teach her a lesson. I ordered goods and the package arrived, duly addressed to me. It was mid December. Dark at 4 pm and the couriers delivering to 10 pm. A friend of mine left it on her door step. the door knocked, as couriers do. The box would have looked to contain a gift such as jewellery, a watch of perfume. It was plain brown manilla with an OPEN THIS END message. Next day the package was no longer there. Several days went by and my neighbour made no attempt to bring me the parcel. The contents was a spring loaded glitter bomb with extra glitter. Next bin day I checked her bin and there was red glitter mixed in with fluff at the bottom. The bomb must have exploded in her house and embedded itself in her upholstery, carpets and curtains. So now she was kicking herself for having stolen a package meant for her neighbour. The best kind of revenge is when someone blames themself.

This joke would not have worked had she been honest.

I've told this one before, it's not really a CF more of an arsehole. My then husband was berating me, witheringly, for walking carefully on ice. He mansplained that if you are confident and walk normally you will actually (a word he did like to make good use of) be much safer than walking carefully. This was before the days of the walk like a penguin ads but I had got to the age I was by being said careful.

We were heading along a slight slope and he was barging on ahead, as usual, when he confidently walked on the ice and, lo, down he went. On his way to the ground he proceeded to cross his forearms across his chest and roll over a few times like a pound shop James Bond.

I hope you said "Well if you ACTUALLY behave like a twat, you'll end up looking like one!"

Small one. Ds and I in a small queue of traffic at a light. As we started rolling forward, i gestured for a car on a road to our left to go ahead and turn to her left in front of us. Importantly, i didnt stop - traffic was moving, and I was just doing my bit to keep it moving in all directions. Car behind the first car accelerates and rushes to do the same turn, forcing me to brake hard as otherwise I would have hit him. He then moves into the right hand lane, overtakes the car on front of me and speeds off staight over the intersection.....only for the car that had been queuing behind him to light up a police siren, wave at me as he pulls in front of where I am now stopped, and races after the other guy. As I turned left at the light, I saw the police car had pulled him over. Ds and I laughed about that for weeks.

What brings this story to mind is ds and I were in the same spot waiting for the lights last week and we saw the driver in the front of the queue to turn in front of us notice and start shouting through her passenger window at a young teen/tween on a bicycle. The lad was riding from the light and turning to go up the road the car had just come down. The lad and this woman had a few words and the next thing she throws the car in reverse and starts chasing him, backwards, up the road.

We are convinced that intersection attracts the crazies!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
