To ask if you've ever seen someone get what they deserve?

[Fishface77]

I was at a wedding in Saturday and there was an ex-couple there.
The ex-H d was emotionally, verbally and financially abusive to his ex-w (witnessed).
She finally left him, gained a stone, had hair and make up done, looked fab and has a hot new man.
Ex-h eyes nearly fell out of his head. He tried to chat to her and she laughed, asked if she knew him and strolled of.
The look on his face was priceless and he just slunk away.
Have you ever seen anyone get what they deserve?

Here's hoping karma gets you Toga!

LadyConstance that's really cool! It used to be that you couldn't get your child statemented towards the end of the financial year as there was no money left to pay for the support they had to put in place as a result. I know of one child psych who was threatened with the sack if he statemented any children. He was not the only one - Councils all over the country were doing it. I hope that situation has changed now, but it wouldn't surprise me if it continued. It probably happens in the NHS too, and in Housing and......

Get your appointments done in April/May.

I sat and pretended to read while watching my ex eat a dog food pie the night after he told me he'd been sleeping with prostitutes and why it was all my fault!

A trivial one from my childhood/early teens.
We had a girl in my class who was a know-it-all. Loud, braggy, she always knew the answer to everything. She'd put her hand up to answer everything, murmuring "miss, miss" or "sir, sir". Every bloody lesson.
One day she was doing the usual "oh, I know!I know!" thing and was tipping her chair back to get her hand higher in the air.
Then the chair tipped over backwards and she ended up on the floor.

After that, she was a bit more subdued.

I saw someone who used to bully me at school for being fat. I'm two stone lighter than I was then. He now looks like Jabba the Hut in an Alan Davies wig.

I have a good one.

Girl at school who bullied my best friend and myself for years, turned up at work for an interview I was conducting, she was overly friendly and managed to get it into the conversation about how she is different now as kids will be kids etc etc.

She was probably the one best qualified, but we needed to work closely in a team and going by previous history...she didn't get the job. I didn't bother telling her that thought, until after I had called her in for a second interview.

I had stopped to give way to a car when the car behind me decided to overtake at speed (really no point as there was stand still traffic ahead anyway), the car I was letting out slammed on their brakes and the speeding car screamed some sort of crap out their window at me and the other car, then proceeded to smash into the side of a police van that was also joining the traffic (and the police had seen the whole thing).

[milkyface]

No but I cannot fucking wait until I do :-)

We were in Vegas for World Cup 2010. We went to a bar to watch the USA vs England game in our England shirts. Male football isn't big there like it is here so the bar had 50:50 fans I'd say and all a very good atmosphere.

It was the match that the goalie embarrassingly let the ball slip through his hands and conceded a goal. Final score 1-1.

On leaving the bar a group of frat boy style twats men and a few girls were walking about 10 feet behind us whooping and cheering shouting "1 to 1! 1 to 1!"

First of all it's 1-all. Second of all it's a draw not a win you ninnies (I didn't say this just in my head).

They then started shouting "England suck! England suck." We ignored it but knew they were spoiling for a fight when they starting yelling "Yo English dude how does it feel to fucking SUCK!" at DH . They shouted more abuse which we ignored for a minute or so until DH couldnt take it anymore. He went to turn round to argue back and as he did the twatty little ring leader (in the middle of an "England fucking suck" chant) fell over his shoe laces, did the most dramatic dance-like effeminate fall and went SMACK face first into the ground.

This is gonna sound mean but we actually pointed and went "HA HA!!" And told him karma was bitch. He started to cry and his mates treated him like a puppy who'd been run over. Served the twat right, he was one of those vile toxic masculinity type blokes who gets their kicks from starting random fights with bigger blokes (DH is a gym fanatic and very well built and gets picked on by these types a lot)

You get half a C grade by trying to get them to count your RE "short course" as a full GCSE when it's only half. It's a bit like AS vs A Levels or trying to get a uni to count General Studies as an A Level when they say they don't.

[2kids2dogsnosense]

This is a great thread!

Mine is just a little one. Someone gave me a very bad (and absolutely unfair) reference. On the morning of my interview, she hugged me and wished me every success.

I hadn't had sight of her reference although I'd asked for it. The ones that I did have copies of were absolutely fantastic - I almost cried when I saw how generous they had been with their praise.

I was asked why I had asked her and if I had seen the reference, and answered "No - she wouldn't send me a copy". I was given it then and there.
(I will say that there was a reason why I had asked her rather than someone else, but it is complex and I won't go into it.)

She had written utter rubbish (stuff like "Although I have no proof of this, and have not seen any instances of it, I have a feeling that 2kids blah, blah, blah). She had also written at the end "I DON'T THINK 2KIDS SHOULD SEE THIS REFERENCE UNLESS SHE DEMANDS IT!!!" In capitals. I was assured that as there was obviously an agenda, they had discounted her comments.

A couple of weeks later she slipped on a step and broke her foot in three agonising places! I'm afraid that when I heard about it - I laughed!.

There is a lot more to this but I may have outed myself already, so I'll just sit quietly here.

I worked for a surveying firm managing a residential estate. On inspection I saw that an elderly fair rent act protected tenant was starving so phoned social services. When I got back to the office my boss screamed, furious, red faced, spital flying rage at me for "interfering with the tenant's privacy." I left that firm a few weeks later. The old lady died. They smelt her body a month later and sold the house for huge profit.

That boss was then sued by one of his main clients. Head office closed down his branch office and he lost all his swagger.

[FireSquirrel]

Must just be the circles I mix in then! Even my 18 month old had been significantly quicker than that. She's done one 32 mile journey where we averaged 137mph. I did get pulled a few weeks back, copper had seen me at well over 100mph on a dual carriageway.

You sound like an idiot. You won't think it's so big and clever when your car ends up wrapped round a tree.

[headinhands]

Appalled at posters who say 'they put on weight' as if that's divine punishment.

[failingatlife]

Work colleague many years ago was a snooty, stuck up madam! She spent all her time bragging about her house, car, holidays etc. Always busy brown-nosing the directors and looking down her nose at the rest of us. One day there was a verys strange atmosphere in our large open plan office with lots of to & froing of paperwork etc from her desk to her bosses office. She was late that due to a sick child and when she arrived the police were waiting for her. Turned out she had embezzled 10s of 1000s and was sent down for 18months. She got her come uppance alright but I have always felt sorry for her dc who were only babies at the time. Her husband was in on it apparently and their house was sold to pay back some of the money. Have often wondered what became of her (wanders off to check fb....)

I have never felt the need to go 120mph on a motorway, nor risk my babies lives at 137mph for 37 miles.

Hope your enormous ego protects your baby when you do fuck up or a tyre blows or someone comes out in front of you suddenly or a million other things that can happen when driving.

Its not big, its not clever, its quite frankly pathetic for someone who is suppopsed to protect their kids not make them dice with death to make themselves feel somehow important.

TBH if you had been stopped for doing 100 on a motorway I doubt you would have been let of with a 'nudge nudge wink wink we are all lads together' convo.

But actually colour me suspiscious of the whole 'brag fest'.

[hownottofuckup]

Even my 18 month old had been significantly quicker than that. She's done one 32 mile journey where we averaged 137mph.

Yea OK Stig, we don't doubt you for a second.

[PinkyOfPie]

Toga is talking shit and probably drives a green Prius which does max 90mph.

I'd have believed it until they said a policeman "knew it" (?!) and let them off at 100mph. Ok then dear

[StrongerThanIThought76]

I have 2. Years ago I was driving with a friend through twisty but well-known country roads in Wales. 2 idiots in Porches were being complete tools moving their way up the moving traffic flow basically by intimidating other drivers and dangerous overtaking. Came to our turn to be bullied and I said to my friend "it would serve them right if they crashed driving like that". 20 minutes later and we were stationary for ages. Watched various emergency services go past. When we got to the front of the queue both porsches were smashed into a bank at the side of the road, drivers dazed and confused.

2nd time was during my divorce. EA and financially controlling ex took me to court trying to say that I'd only get what I'd contributed (basically £0 as I was a sahm when the kids were tiny). Provided RightMove paperwork of hovels in my area (court case was in court local to him, very expensive area whereas I was in a much cheaper area but he still wanted us to live in terrible conditions) to try and prove that I could afford to live in squalor whilst he retained 3/4 beds in expensive area. Judge told him - and I quote - "I have advantage over counsel that I have practiced in this area of the country (about 150 miles from the court).and I know it well; what you are offering is preposterous and greedy". Ex was forced to sell the fmh and give me my fair share!

When I was 19 I worked in an office where it was just me, another girl and the male boss. He was a total lech and so were his very posh friends who would come back to the office after a long boozy lunch and get their amusement by chasing us round the boardroom table and other such delights during the afternoon.

I subsequently joined a company that not only had a restaurant but also a bar in the offices. I walked up to the bar the first time and instantly recognised the barman who was one of the previous boss's friends. He took one look at me and his face dropped to the floor. Poor Rupert, how the mighty had fallen. He said 'just don't say a word' and I replied 'a gin and tonic please and don't be stingy with the gin'. His face was blood red with embarrassment and it gave me enormous pleasure every time I went in the bar

[DoloresVanCartier]

Toga I call BS. No self respecting officer would let you go with "advice" after going more than 30mph over the speed limit, in fact 25mph over is usually a straight report to the Procurator Fiscal (in Scotland anyway), and to be honest I'd be doing you with dangerous or careless as well if you had a baby in the car.

[PinkyOfPie]

For Toga

Lol at 'arbitrary' speed limits. Clearly decided by the fun police who want to stop the Amazing Drivers and their tiny cocks from getting a temporary high whilst not giving a flying fuck that they're endangering everyone else's life on the road. Rather than, you know, putting them in place for people's safety.

I echo a pp sentiment - I hope when you do eventually crash you don't take anyone with you
