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?

Ex boss, who made my life hell, then made me redundant (I as the only person made redundant on a dept otherwise hiring staff) was herself made redundant.

Other boss, who along with her made me redundant, and bullied me too messed up professionally in a very high profile case .....it will all come out eventually but just knowing that he will soon spectacularly fall from grace is a good feeling.

7 years after I was raped, my rapist seemed to have it all. His dream career, a lovely wife, kids, pillar of the community, volunteer with the vulnerable and a victim who was too afraid he'd get off to testify.

And then he dropped dead. Out of the clear blue sky. Completely without warning.

My STBXH thinks being a 'disney' dad is fine and he doesn’t need to do any real parenting (no overnight, homework, supporting emotional needs). When our DS refers to him as a baby sitter and our DD says he's selfish I know that the truth does come back to catch people out. BTW I don't set them out to be negative to him.

Just need karma to catch up with exMIL now. Other day she told my DD that she didn't hate me (her son had OW and left me one night, she wants to reverse it so messing with DDs head). I don't wish horrible karma, but a good dose of discomfort would be fine.

Someone who very publicly and nastily mocked me online for the state I was in-no it wasn't pretty-when I was clearing snow and ice from my driveway a few years back, went outside a few days later and went arse over tit on her own uncleared icy snowy driveway and broke her ankle.
Yes I laughed long and hard and I didn't and don't feel bad about that. It's the one time in my life I've believed in karma.

I gave up waiting a long time ago and decided was forgiveness was the way forward.

Unless anyone feels like helping me burgle the Greens' yacht / various houses. It would hurt be so fitting.

A car was tailgating me - we were behind other cars on a normal a road so ine lane each way and a car in front of me so no where to go. Got to a dual carriageway portion which goes over a hill - i went in the left lane so twat face could go in front but the car in front of me stayed in the right lane. Tailgaiter then tailgates him at 70mph or more then undertook the chap in front. TG gad to cut up the chap who had been in front when they came upon a caravan in the left lane - however the chap who had been in front who TG had tailgaited and undertook and cut up at speed turned out to be an unmarked police car :)

I got what I deserved once - was walking to work in the snow when a man in front of me slipped on some ice and did a comedy style tumble and only just managed to avoid falling on his bum. I was so busy trying not to laugh, I slipped on the same patch of ice and did the same comedy type gal and only just managed to avoid falling on my bum...

Years ago I was in a pub with a large group of friends when a former teacher of some of the lads came in and recognised them and acknowledged them and started to make small talk. These lads were in their early 20's at the time.

This teacher was a thug teacher who used to love to punch pupils and a real power tripping nasty piece of work. All of a sudden one of the lads stood up, raised his voice and called out the teacher for being an abusive shit, listed out a number of abusive things this teacher did when they were in school, the whole pub went silent and the teacher was humiliated and had to slink off out of the place back to the rock he crawled out from under.

Not quite sure whether I can call it karma, but anyway.

Before my DH I had 2 serious relationships. Living together, planning family/children etc.
Both of them dumped me for other women and broke my heart.
Last year both of them died. Both had died of heart attack.

One of them was a father of my DS, he dumped me when I was pregnant. He was 20 years older than me, 49 during his death. He hasn't seen DS for the last 6 years and during the last time I saw him I said that he will remember DS when he will be dying. I hope he did.
He died in January 2015.

The other one was short relationship, but I was really in love and obviously it was more painful because of that.
He was only 33 and died in December 15.

I had a very rude, stuck up & very flashy woman barge us out of the way so she could get to a bus stop. Dd was on crutches at the time & I had to catch her to stop her falling over

Admittedly I cursed the woman under my breath - only to watch her Shiztu(sp) dog stop dead & start crapping in the middle of the street. She made as if she was ignoring it & still trying to drag it towards the bus which was now pulling in - & she was set upon by several other passers by & made sure that shr cleaned up a very stinky, very liquid dog mess - I laughed

What a horrible thread

Often

In my job I often see symptoms lessen and life begin again or anew for a person or family
They always deserve that

My ex boss was a bullying a$$hole (I had to leave that job he was so bad.) Anyway, due to restrutcuring he had to reapply for his job - and didn't get it! he was NOT happy, and apparently one day he lost the plot with the woman who did get his job - yelling and abusing her in the open plan office in front of about 50 people! she swiftly went to HR and made a Grievance against him. HR then pulled him into a meeting to discuss the grievance and he abused the HR woman so much that she made a grievance against him! he 'left to pursue other options' soon after. man I wish I'd been there to witness that! last I heard he's working as a support worker somewhere - has had several other jobs but funnily enough didn't last in them. I just feel really sorry for the people he has to support.

Good thread! Gotta love a bit of karma!
I came back from maternity leave a few years ago to find my job was basically gone. My boss then spent two years trying to bully me into doing a job I hadnt been contracted for. I was the only member of staff with a sales target (and the only staff member NOT on the sales team) and he kept pages and pages of petty notes on me eg: evil was in a mood today. evil picked up the wrong coat, evil didnt do this etc etc
He even tried to discipline me for not reaching targets and under-performing.
So i raised a grievance with his bosses. Long story short, they were horrified at the low level bullying he'd been doing, he had no proof of ever following employment law regarding my job still being there after returning from mat leave and he 'retired'.
Guess whos got her job back with a pay raise and is doing some of his old job (better)?

Also, Dh's ex wife is about to be served a taste of her own medicine. What comes around goes around!

I was once picked on by a street performer/escapologist, and I was ridiculed, along with another woman. He then gave us the chance to tie him up with ropes, of course, expecting to make fun of us again by escaping. One thing I can do is tie knots. He failed to escape, and had to ask to be untied. If he hadn't ridiculed me, I'd have played along nicely.

When I was about 18, my friend and I popped out to the local chippy. A couple of lads there tried to chat us up, and on failing, followed us home, ending up with us running as fast as we could, just managing to slam the door in their faces. I called the police, while they were hammering on the door. One of the attending constables happened to be my friend's boyfriend. Instant karma.

What a horrible thread

Why? Why is it horrible to be happy when people's rapists and bullies get their commupance? Would you rather we all performed virtue signalling and wished these evil people well?

One I didn't see.

I was at uni, just got out of my car (I went to uni in my 30s) some bloke parking in the street made a comment about my breasts that just made me feel shit, like he was doing the 'I am a man, I have power' routine.

I went in to the building to get my usual coffee and the lovely lady serving could see I was upset, she told me to get his reg number and she called the police.

Very nice policeman turned up and took a statement. He asked me what I wanted to do, did I want to make a complaint and have him arrested, or 'a word' from the police. I opted for the latter.

While I was there he radioed through the reg. It turns out it was a company car, so nice cop set of to chat to his employer, find out who he was and let his employer know what he had done, and how upset I was.

I used to quite often travel on the M6 toll.

If you have not been on it it is much much quieter than the usual M6 and so some people treat it like a race track.

I used to keep my eye peeled for the bottle green VW polo, the kind of car boy racers like to tailgate and intimidate, not realising it was an unmarked police car.

I've seen so many people pulled over.

As a teen I babysat for a family. The husband was a womaniser and serially unfaithful. Wife found out and asked him to leave. I was there to babysit while she went out she asked if I could stay over so bought my sleeping bag.

The husband arrived to see the kids, saw I had my sleeping bag and asked the wife where she was going. Then a gorgeous man turned up in a sports car and the wife hopped in and they drove off. The husband had an adult tantrum. Absolutely brilliant.

Liking RonaldMcDonald's post best of all. :)

Toga. My German dh has done 120mph, in Germany. For short periods on short stretches of autobahn in safe conditions. Most of the time he is considerably slower than that - typically about 75-90. Because he's a good, safe and responsible driver who (as e1y1 says) considers anticipation and judgement more important than speed. And where there's a speed limit he sticks to it. You, on the other hand, are every sensible driver's nightmare.

Firstly I want to say I know this was petty but I was early 20s at the time.

I had a horrible boss, she was a bullying bitch. She broke every HR law and rule in the book and one incident in particular gathered four company directors to interagate me over an incident which was nothing to do with me. I was 21yo and sat there in tears throughout. I handed my notice in a week later.

Company went bust and she lost her job and set up a shoe shop. I used to like going in and sitting down and getting her to fetch me loads of shoes while I tried on about 15 pairs and then would decide I didn't like any of the and walk out leaving her to tidy up piles of shoes!

Enjoyed the thread until toga turned up to brag about how he/she recklessly endangers the life of an 18 month old. Let's hope it's not the 18 month old left with a dead and broken body when everything goes tits up.
As a,parent I wouldn't allow anyone so negligent to have charge of my child. Can't think child social services would see the brag as great either.

Mine's only minor really.

It took me ages to learn to drive and I was very proud of myself for sticking with it and finally passing my test. The place that I worked had two small car parks- one right by the main entrance (with small spaces separated by low concrete blocks) and another larger one round the back. Parking was not a strong point so even though I was often in early enough for there to be a space by the entrance I always parked at the back where there was more room to manoeuvre and less chance of being watched. One cocky arse of a colleague (who has also been very amused at the very idea of a woman of my age learning to drive) made a point of telling everyone how bad I was at parking, joked about me parking miles away when I could have had the 'best' spot by the door, looked out of the back windows to see me park if he was in first (and encouraged others to point and laugh too) etc.

One evening, as I left work (with group of others), arsehole (who had parked next to the main door) was already in his car. He leaned out of the window to 'jokingly' offer me a lift to my car and was still grinning at how clever he was when he reversed in to a concrete block.

Many years ago I had a bitch boss who discriminated against me, told me I would never be promoted as I am VI, fed my guide dog, arranged team lunches at places it was impossible for me to get to since I don't drive and told me that I shouldn't ask for lifts as it wasn't polite. The list goes on but she didn't just discriminate against me, she saw another girl out of a job after she re-defined her contract when she came back from Ml after having IVF twins.... Although in her case she took the company to court and won.

Anyway she was very much on the management career ladder but wanted to progress beyond the company she'd worked for since the day she left school, so she left to go and work somewhere else, bigger prospects, more promising promotions.... Except.... After six months they had a re-structure and she was made redundant. But as she hadn't worked there long enough she wasn't entitled to any redundancy or anything. I may have chuckled at that one...

Have to say though I could never bring myself to feel gleeful at someone's death.
