Unbelievable Karma Strikes Back: 80 Shocking Stories Where Justice Hits Hard and Fast
The cafeteria falls silent for a heartbeat, the shock of the scene rendering everyone mute. Then, as if on cue, laughter erupts, but this time it is not directed at Emily. It is Michael who is the subject of mirth, his bravado reduced to humiliation in the space of a heartbeat. His friends, who moments before had cheered him on, now laugh the loudest, their loyalty as fickle as the tides.
Emily, still seated, glances up from her book, her eyes meeting Michael’s. There is no malice in her gaze, only a quiet satisfaction, a recognition that sometimes the universe does balance the scales, that karma, swift and unrelenting, has its own way of exacting justice. Michael, covered in the remnants of his lunch, learns a lesson that day, not just about humility, but about the fragile nature of reputation and the unexpected ways in which it can be shattered.
As the cafeteria noise resumes its normal rhythm, the laughter and chatter now a background to Michael’s shame, Emily turns a page in her book, a small, almost imperceptible smile playing at the corners of her mouth. The story she is reading is one of heroes and villains, much like her own, but today, she feels a little less like the victim, and a little more like the heroine.
I’m a teacher. In my country, all teachers get paid a set amount by the government that goes up the longer you’re a teacher. There’s different rates for extra responsibilities, relief, part time full time etc. In my first year, I worked at a really toxic school (staff were toxic, students were awesome). I was doing a mixture of relief and part time regular hours. They weren’t paying me properly. They were only paying me for time I was actually teaching when they should have paid me for some non teaching hours since I’d often have classes at opposite ends of the day. I hard an argument at the time and was basically told, you’re new, you don’t understand the pay system, if you’re going to complain we’ll stop giving you hours. That was 10 years ago. A few weeks ago I got an email from the ministry of education. They had done an audit of that school, dating back to 2012, and found they’d been paying teachers incorrectly for relief work. I got a gigantic back pay.
Some drunk AH driving Very close to my bumper on 290 in Chicago, all they way up by Itasca where 290 splits and goes N, while the south leg turns into 355. Dude was yelling at me and purple faced, bec I flipped him off in my rear view, and for about a mile, was screaming and coming very close to my car. I call 911, operator tells me there an officer right behind us – who follows the guy who sees the cop, and pulls off to the right, to exit N 290 toward Itasca. Last I saw his angry face and I was pointing and laughing, and cop lights up behind him, it was so glorious.
I’m not going to go into detail, but i was talking to this girl, and then stopped very abruptly when I met another that I felt i liked way more, and she seemed into me as well. It was a pretty awesome couple of weeks, when she did the same to me. I certainly did not even think about talking to the first again after how i ended that.
A new company came in and took over our contract. One of the things that was supposed to happen was they were going to buy us a couple Chevy Tahoes to patrol in. It was a part of the contract. Instead, they pocketed 4 of the 5 million dollars paid for 3 years and gave us Chevin Equinoxs instead.
One of the guys responsible for this bait and switch was driving down the road on his motorcycle a few weeks later and crashed into an equinox. He [passed away] on impact.
When I was a teacher, one of my students was extremely disruptive and I was at my wit’s end. I called his mom and she acted like I made the whole thing up because “she raised her son better and he wouldn’t do that.”
Two days later, he got caught vandalizing part of the school and his mom had to pay for the damages.
I was running laps on a grass field in the military when I was about to lap a guy who’d ALWAYS lap the [life] out of me. So as I passed him I yelled “Gotcha!” and *immediately* stepped in a hole in the ground and twisted my ankle. Despite the pain of jacking my ankle up, I thought the karmic payout was hilariously timed.
When I was in first grade, my class had recess and this bully pushed me to the ground. I fell and was about to go off on the kid when this 4th grader came over lifted the kid up and took the kid over to the principal.
Woman on a cell phone runs me off the road. Flips me off for laying on the horn.
The road ends a mile up the road. She was going right and I was a ways back going left. A van was in front of her at the red light and she just plows into the back of it.
