Anyway, a while later, the buddy and I were up for the same promotion - guess who she ended up reporting to? BOOM!

Like I said, petty AF, but it still felt good.

Why did you think you should have gotten the window and the buddy? Because you "called it"? That doesn't seem cool at all.

But then with her second her bladder fell out. It was like a level 3 prolapse and she needed two surgeries to correct it. I feel terrible but of course in my head Im like "at least you didn't miss the PROCESS".

This is a good one. Not that anyone deserves the awfulness of prolapse but I would say she got what was coming to her. Mean people suck.

I think I would have said something like "Isn't this whole process of giving birth just so unpredictable?"

I had to go to Sunday school every Sunday, and there was this one guy who seemed to take it as a personal insult that I was smart and successful. He would make comments that I would never fulfill my only purpose in life which was to be a helpmate to my husband and mother. He said that no guy would want to be with someone who prioritized academics and that I would be alone. Etc. etc. It was obvious he was really insecure. Fast forward 20 years... I have a great career where I'm top in my field, a have great kids, and an amazing husband. This guy came to mind the other day so I googled him and found his twitter feed. Turns out he's still unmarried and posts all sorts of incel-type rants about women in his Twitter . His career appears to be writing stories for breitbart type websites, and it looks like he spends his free time playing dungeons and dragons. I feel pretty good about how things turned out.

Nothing wrong with D&D

That appears to be the extent of his personal life....he basically works and spends his off hours in fantasy land. He doesn't appear to have much of a home life at all.

Hey, I said it was petty, didn't I?

Anyway, we're a pretty casual work environment most of the time, and we generally operated on a first come, first serve approach to things like that. Besides, it wasn't losing the plum spot that made my Karma reward so sweet, it was the silly plotting that went into it.

Yikes. I wouldn't have said a thing to her. The woman's BLADDER fell out - . How awful.

That was a very unsatisfying story.

I worked at a private school, and the new head of school and I did not end up getting along very well. I didn't like the direction she was taking certain parts of our program, didn't like the way she treated teachers, etc.

When I went to renew my contract, even though I wasn't happy there, and asked for a raise. Found out she complained about me to the rest of the admin team, and several other classroom teachers, stating what my salary was, and making it known I didn't deserve anymore.

I wrote her an email, asking her to "please refrain from discussing my salary among the teaching staff" and that I thought her behavior was really disrespectful. That email got my contract rescinded, though I received an unprecedented severance and a great recommendation from her (she admitted that I was a great teacher, for some reason that didn't matter to her...)

Within a year of leaving, she was busted having an affair on the grounds with the handy man she had hired (they had built a love shack!!), and was stealing money from the school, very scandalous!

One of my relatives was cheated on and left for the AP. It was a 25 year marriage with 3 kids, totally messy. She had so much stress she developed Rheumatoid Arthritis. Very sad, but she did very well in the divorce. The AP died 5 years later, and her ex died 2 years after that. Actually quite a few people were happy considering what they did to that family. Good ending.

In an office I worked at, one of my colleagues was from Puerto Rico. She was accused of being an illegal immigrant by another colleague who reported her to Immigration. Of course, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But the crazy thing is that the colleague who reported her was on an expired visa from Europe and got herself deported. This was before Trump.

My XW was caught having an affair with a Hatian man in the ‘90s. She claimed is was a one time fling but I never slept with her afterwards and divorced he as soon as legally possible. She now has full blown AIDS and is in hospice care.

I think cheating on someone is completely unacceptable and absolutely grounds for divorce. However, saying someone has AIDS seems to me to go beyond karma. If you cheat on your spouse you deserve to be served divorce papers publicly in a way that humiliates you maybe. You don't deserve to die because of it.

I had one a few weeks ago. A guy in a huge jacked up truck was tailgating me the entire way down a 2-lane road. He even beeped at me to go faster once. I was doing 5 over the speed limit, which is the most I'll go over on this road because it's a known speed trap area. This is because it's a construction zone and the signs say something like "maximum $500 for speeding when lights flashing" and the police love to hide and nab drivers for that extra $$.

We finally get to the stretch of road that opens up to 4-lanes and he floors it past me. I was doing 50 (speed limit 45) and he must have gunned it to at least 65+ because he was gone in a flash. A bit down the road he sat pulled over by the VA State police, $500 poorer.

I was once at a gay club, and went into the only bathroom. When I came out of the stall, this guy glared at me and said, "You've got balls, bitch." (Presumably, for being there and using the only stall available to me.)

I whipped around and said, "You wish I did, bitch."

Everyone in the bathroom, which was quite full at the time, laughed and applauded. Even, eventually, the guy who started it. So not revenge, but probably my best one-liner.
