I don't agree with exacting revenge by getting even with the person who was nasty to you, because it makes you just as bad as they are.

The type of stories that have made me smile are the ones where the op has been kind back, like the op who helped her horrible neighbour up after she slipped; or the one where op's df spoke calmly and politely to her racist teacher which exposed her prejudice and led to a positive outcome for op.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 08/07/2020 11:39

I agree xsquared - though I also like the ones where (say) a seagull has poo'd on someone who has shouted at the poster.

That is real Karma - not just revenge.

xsquared · 08/07/2020 11:43

Yes, I think the perfect timing ones are also funny.

I was really quiet and shy when i first started school, a girl a few years older than me took a dislike to me and cornered me one time with a group of her friends. She was threatening to batter me and they were all laughing. It was horrible. For a few months they would barge into me when walking past me or lunge at me ect. I ended up making friends with the "nasty" girls in my year and was left alone after that. I'm 5'2 as an adult and at school i was short compared to my friends.

Around 5/6 years later I was invited to a house party by my friend. Around 10 minutes into arriving I realised it was the same girl from school. She realised it was me at the same time and without saying a word walked over and shoved me onto the floor.

I shouldn't be proud of this but I am, I got up and ended up sat on top of her punching her while my friends tried to pull me off her. Everyone was laughing at her saying she deserved it and half the party left with me and my friends to carry on at my friends house

Its been 10 years and it still makes me laugh, clearly i could of handled it better and if that happened as an adult I would not resort to violence, but at 18 years old I was very pleased with myself for beating up my past bully Grin

SerenityNowwwww · 08/07/2020 12:30

Well much as I don’t approve of violence - she did start it by continuing the bullying when you were 18 (not 8 for goodness sake).

I had an office colleague who used to help himself to other people's food, but never when there was anyone about so it was hard to catch him at it. So I bought a bag of doughnuts and a bottle of Tabasco, used a straw to suck the jam out of each doughnut then used another straw (yikes, single use straws - sorry!) to draw Tabasco out of its bottle, inserted the straw through the original jam hole and blew hot sauce into the doughnut.
I was finally able to pinpoint the culprit with high confidence as the bloke who rushed red-faced to the loo and could be heard retching and gulping for several minutes. No more food thefts!

Not a stranger but a relative had a good dose of karma happen to them. Many years ago my husband and I were going to a well known UK holiday park with another couple in the family. We split the holiday costs but I took on the job of booking everything and arranging timings for the activities. My husband drove there (5 hour journey), he was very tired when we arrived. Got to our accommodation and the other couple go in to explore while we unload the car, no offer of any help. After unloading everything we discovered they had gone upstairs so we went up and saw there was a main bathroom, a twin bedroom and a double bedroom with ensuite. You guessed it, they claimed the double by putting their backpacks on the bed and he was already "claiming" the ensuite. Not even an offer of drawing straws. We thought ok, we'll have the twin, we can try and push the beds together. I suddenly remembered that we had booked a 3 bed chalet as it weirdly worked out cheaper than a 2 bed, so I went back downstairs in search of the 3rd bedroom. Opened what looked like a cupboard door to reveal the master suite! Ensuite bathroom with lovely jacuzzi bath and a kingsize bed. So considering the other couple had claimed the double, we decided to take the master! His face was an absolute picture when he came downstairs and saw us settling in, he then had the audacity to say shouldn't we be drawing straws for this! We did not draw straws, and made sure to enjoy the jacuzzi bath every night of our stay. He was spitting feathers about it the whole week!

Penguin

That is the most beautiful story I have ever heard!

I'll bet that was one of the best weeks of your life. Grin

xsquared · 08/07/2020 15:21

That's brilliant @penguin23.

Tappering · 08/07/2020 16:13

Might as well end each post with ”And then the whole bus clapped”

Many of these posts need an Alan Partridge style "needless to say, I had the last laugh" at the end of them.

Soubriquet · 08/07/2020 16:45

Perfect ending penguin

I bet he was furious

FenellaVelour · 08/07/2020 23:09

I have also been sick on a teacher.

PE teacher. I was not a gifted child when it came to sport, and this teacher often had it in for me. On this occasion we were running 200m and it was a hot day. I was also feeling quite unwell and nauseous. I told him that I thought I ought to sit it out as I was feeling sick. He scoffed and called me lazy and sent me off to the starting line.

I ran 200 metres with my stomach doing somersaults the whole way, got to the finish, sank to the grass, and gently puked on his shoes.

I ran to the toilets to ralph after being force fed something by a dinner lady. I will never force feed my DC although they are greedy buggers so entirely unnecessary

Petty, but it remains one of the best moments of my life!
I was bullied by Girl A in the early years of secondary school. Ended up we had the same wide group of friends by the time we were 18/19 and often drank in the same pubs.
One night she was flinging herself at a male friend of ours. It was xmas eve & she invited him back to "stay the night" with her in front of eeveryone.he then turned to her and said "nah, no thanks, I'm staying here cos I'm about to ask out Bou cingbelle"
I'd fancied this guy for ages, but even better was the look on her face. Defi lately felt like karma!!

@CarrieMoonbeams did you get in dash cam? 😂

ClaraSais · 11/07/2020 20:19

On not in

To get to the town centre I had to walk past the entrance to a car park. It was a busy morning and traffic was queuing to get in. Just as I approached the queued cars they moved forward and one car deliberately drove right up to the rear of the car in front so the gap I was intending to walk though disappeared.
Presumably he didn't want me to delay him driving into the car park, so was trying to make me walk round the back of his car instead.
However I just hopped onto the front bumper of his car instead and walked along it, then jumped down the other side.
He was so gobsmacked he just sat there; then went to open his car door, but didn't want to leave his car - but I was away round the corner before he could decide what to do.
His face was such a picture...

Tunnocks34 · 11/07/2020 21:24

This is completely true and no one ever believes me (not that unbelievable though)

I was once in a bar, and a man was constantly hassling me initially, following me, whistling, making really sexual comments at me. He then approached me and grabbed my arse really forcefully, and said some more vile comments. He was removed from the bar.

Week later, he was sat opposite me with his wife at a parents evening, his son was in my year 7 class.

I obviously didn’t say anything to him, or his wife about his actions, but I raised my eyebrows as he sat down and he was extremely flustered. Unlike the week before, this time he was lost for words and couldn’t make eye contact!

Oh I wish, that would have been perfect! 🤣

  1. I was indicating for a space in a car park -P&C place and was heavily pregnant -hot day windows down.
    The car pulled out and a guy in a sports car with the top down -pulled in the space sharply, grinning at me and said "You snooze, you lose, b*h" and promptly smacked into the bollard at the end of the space putting nice big dent in his sports car. Karma

  2. We had interviews at work. My secretary had the previously day left in a blind panic as her son was ill at nursery and I had told her not to come in the following morning. Her desk had been left a mess. A guy came in the office and I was sitting in her chair hunting for the interview files. I stopped, smiled, said hello and asked him to sign in and offered to make him a coffee. Which he accepted. He then proceeded to tell me how much he hated his current job and he how he was dead "cert" to get this one as he was part of the old boys's network. He then made a phone call and said to the other person how hot the secretary was and how he was open to "affairs" and lots of other shite. I gave him a coffee and he smiled and winked and said "Better get that desk cleared up love -it's a f**king pigsty, you don't want me to mention it to the boss in the interview do you, it reflects badly and you don't want to lose your job do you" -I smiled and said ok, thanks for the tip. I then went into the boardroom and met the other members of the panel etc. I then went back to the office -and said "please follow me Mr ...." and took him to the boardroom and then I said let me introduce you "This is so and so, this is other person is -and so on..... and I am Dr BeMoreChicken the chairperson of the interviewing panel -please have a seat" -he didn't get the job.

There's absolutely no way that happened

AlternativePerspective · 12/07/2020 11:31

No way what happened? [confused[

AnimalCrossing · 12/07/2020 11:42

@Waitingandwaitingandwaiting that’s awful and illegal. Don’t care how horrible someone, you can’t go around behaving like that.

WineAndTiramisu · 12/07/2020 20:34

I was driving on a single carraigeway 50mph road with an arse driving behind me in a BMW, right up my bumper, kept trying to overtake but it's a very difficult road to overtake on, I'm probably doing 55. After an island there's a dual carriageway but still 50mph, he screams past me, so I speed up, and as he goes quicker so do I, until I break quite hard and he goes through the speed camera, which flashes him. Not ashamed to say that they was one of the best things that I've ever seen Grin
