To Share This Brilliant Instant "Karma" With You?

Was in town earlier today. Young homeless chap was being verbally abused and threatened by aggressive young bloke, clearly on drugs. Homeless guy looked terrified, aggressive guy went to try and hit him but he bolted off just in time. I kept a close eye on the aggressor all the way down the hill, taking a note of his appearance incase he did anything else and I had to report to the police.

Aggressor met up with a load of very similar pals, all out of their faces on Special Brew on a bench in centre of town. He's standing there laughing, shouting, swearing, recounting his lovely behaviour with homeless guy.

Whilst walking back and forward, waving his arms around he slipped and fell heavily on his boney arse, on the concrete I think I almost heard a "crack". All his awful "pals" started to literally pish themselves laughing.

Later on I saw the homeless guy at a different pitch and related this tale to him and gave him a fiver.

Not really a believer in "karma"per se but this made my day!

My ex was a violent bully once during an argument he kicked my car causing £500 worth of damage I told him he could either pay for the damage or I would report him, he decided not to pay so I reported it to the police he was given a caution which I wasn't happy about it was still £500 out of pocket after repairing the car. 15 years later after he had emigrated to NZ and not spoken to myself or ds for years I heard he had applied to join the NZ police but couldn't because of his caution apparently it was all my fault, look awhile but karma finally bit him on the but.

At our last house it was on street parking and you had to have a permit yo park.

There was a particularly vile family a couple of doors down who took a particular dislike to us. We were subjected to verbal abuse, vandalism and various other harassment.

They also had three cars, a motorbike and there's daughter's bf had a van parked on the street every night. They parked like knobs. Taking up two spaces each or deliberately blocking us and other neighbours in.

On the day we were due to hand they keys back to the ll I saw one of their cars get a parking ticket. (Assume permit not displayed properly.) I also saw the reaction of the neighbour when she discovered it. She was not impressed to say the least!

I thought the quotation mark comment was for 'fell on his Arse' and "crack" but then me and the PP might just have dirty minds!

Someone shouting abuse (unwarranted) at me out of a window. She finished the tirade by violently pulling the sliding window shut with a crash. Problem was, her other hand was still on the frame. It always makes me laugh remembering looking up and seeing her pulling agonised faces and wringing her hand pathetically.

I didn't put quotes round fell on his arse, no idea what you or the other quotation marks poster are on about, weird.

I worked in a shop as a teenager, we had to wear hideous green tabards that were far too big and had pockets at the side.

At this point in life I was a bit of a twat and thought I was God's gift to mankind, even with my tabard on

I was sort of dating a guy from work, but had also started seeing someone else, I cancelled a date with the first guy, telling him I was ill, and went out with the second guy. Of course we promptly bumped into first guy and it was super awkward.

He didn't speak to me for a week or so, understandably, but then I had to go to his department and ask him something.

I swanned into his office, asked him whatever it was about stock, he replied "it's in the chill deparment" I thought I was being very witty and clever and said "I thought it was the chill department in here with your attitude" did a spin on my heels, flicked my hair and stormed out, all smug with my witty retort.

Only the bloody tabard got caught on the door handle. I tried to back up and it got more twisted. I had to ask the poor guy to help me. He was pissing himself laughing and I was mortified

Karma got me good and proper that day.

I deserved it for being a dick though.

But you did put them around "crack"
Never mind

Yeah "never mind" indeed, way to derail the thread in a completely pointless direction.

Karma bit me on the ass years ago. Understaffed at work, was working six days a week, just exhausted. Three requests in a row for annual leave declined, hadn't had a break for almost 18months.. So I called in and said "My grandad died, I need to go home for the funeral", and took three days off, giving myself an extra long weekend. I slept most it but it felt like a weekend in a five star hotel.
The following Tuesday I got a call at work - Dad calling to say his Mum had passed away and I needed to go home for the funeral. To their credit, they let me, but still the guilt kills me.

jmh740 I love that it took 15 years for karma to come back round but your ex eventually got what he deserved!

ReginaBlitz · 30/07/2016 22:50

Op sort your attitude out.

ReginaBlitz · 30/07/2016 22:50

Sorry "attitude"

Birdsgottafly · 30/07/2016 23:06

I was going to say that it's a shame that you didn't report the aggressive behaviour, but there's been enough twatiness on the thread.

I saw a man make a nasty remark about a larger lady, in a clothes shop. He turned around to have a laugh about it, to his mate and they walked into a clothes rack, with the one at the back head butting the first one, causing the first one to bounce his nose off the rack.

They then had murder, blaming each other.

CarefullyAirbrushedPotato · 30/07/2016 23:13

A mattress CharminglyGawky ? All I can imagine now is chuckle brother type burglars

jmh740 · 30/07/2016 23:28

Dashie it was worth the wait, I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall when he got the news.

DS is contemporaries with a special-snowflake-super-child. One who is so very bright, perfectly behaved and such a sweet child. Not.

DS doesn't like him coming round because he smashes his Lego. I don't like him because he is incredibly rude. His self righteous mother doesn't believe a word anyone says against her child, denies it, twists the story to blame someone else, and generally is very aggressive in protecting her "ideal" family. All the while expecting special praise and attention and rules for her dc. Except she took the aggression too far, once too many times on school premises, and has been asked to remove her child. No one is upset.

NeedATrim · 30/07/2016 23:52

Why are folks nit picking about the flipping quotation marks?

The story about the woman slamming her hand in the window frame had me laugh. That's some Tom and Jerry stuff right there!

Bogeyface · 30/07/2016 23:56

I would say that the OP isnt the one with the attitude problem here! How about you sort your own attitude out Regina?

Thanks bogey .

I've remembered one from my days in corporate hospitality. I'd organised a Christmas party for an investment bank, the PA I had liased with had been a massive, entitled pain in the arse. At the actual party she was swanning about like lady muck, taking all the credit for mine and several others hard work. Everyone was heartily sick of her.

She did a speech, again taking credit where it wasn't due, making snotty patronising remarks about people who had done nothing but help her. Then she went to the loo, came out and sashayed the length of the room with her nose in the air AND HER DRESS TUCKED INTO THE BACK OF HER KNICKERS

I used to work in recruitment. One morning my manager (who was a bit of a monster) had to go to a client meeting. She was running late and at a junction the car in front of her was slow to move off so she got out of her car and gave the driver a mouthful.
Of course, when she got to the meeting, it was with the driver of said car.

We didn't get the instruction
