I'll go first... car parked across my drive blocking.me in. Its the same one that had done the same thing the other day. I go out and start walking round it pretending to call the police. She jumps out we have a conversation about how if I see the car again ill get it towed by the police. She moves it saying something about needing to pick her kid up from school like I give a shit.
I go back in and get my keys to pick my son up from school and couldn't find them but ten minutes later I go out she has parked up on the zigzag lines outside the school and got a ticket.....last time she'll do that then:)

I have told this before.

Dd was about 5 and at a birthday party. She was very shy and had spent most of the party sat on my lap. Eventually she worked up the courage to go and queue up for the piñata. Whilst in the queue a load of boys pushed in front of her. This meant that she was the last in the queue. I was going to intervene but she didn’t seem bothered and I didn’t want to make her think she needed me.

Eventually it was her turn and after she put her blindfold on and did a rather pathetic hit of the donkey the dad running it realised that she was the last one and tore it apart so dd huge crash of chocolates falling down. She was very happy and spent the entire rest of the party saying “I can’t believe I managed to win the donkey game!” She was so pleased with herself that she actually sat on my feet rather than my lap for the magician!

I love this so much. Not because of any instant karma shite but because I am imagining your dd's happy face when she said that and how something like that would have made my dd super happy too (who used to be very shy and got pushed around a lot and is probably still prone to making rather pathetic hits...). 😊

I use a jar of sauce so it's not instant because you need to fry the meat and veg, but it's pretty quick. The one from our local Indian takeaway is better though.

We were travelling in the car at the speed limit, my partner was driving and a couple of idiots were tailgating us, making gestures to drive faster. We ignored them and eventually they overtook us and sped away. A couple of hundred yards down the road, we saw them again at the side of the road, their car had broken down. I couldn't resist pointing at them and we both laughed.

I was 18 and had just popped out of work to post some letters in the post box just down the street. This guy was walking level to me but full on staring at me (gothy make up but dressed for work). I looked at him and away a few times feeling really uncomfortable. Then he tripped on the edge of a curb and fell face first smack into the floor. I immediately tried to help him up, he said “No love it was my fault for staring”. I quickly shoved the letters in the post box and trotted straight back to work. I looked back and he was limping away. Bloody weird!
