Your best revenge /karma story

[Anonymous]

I know, and actually believe, that the best revenge IS a life well lived. But I'm still going to live vicariously -

what's the best revenge / karma story you know of? Can be a work thing, a friend thing, a romantic thing - basically where someone had been definitively in the wrong and got what was coming to them.

There was this older woman who worked at a hospital in the medical records with me when I was in college. She LOUDLY complained about my work ethic to anyone who would listen. It was pretty crazy because I really hustled and it was obvious to everyone. I didn't understand how someone could be so hate filled.

On my way to the cafeteria one day, I saw her napping in the medical library. And she was there sleeping the next day, and the next, and the next. I left a post it on the manager's desk that said, "Larla sleeps in the library every day from 1-3."

Well, they found her. After that, they started taking a harder look at her work. Instead of processing medical records, she was tossing them in the trash. Throwing innocent peoples' medical information in the freaking regular trash.

She was fired. I still don't feel bad about it.

Great story pp!

But OP please do not conflate revenge with the concept of karma.

Mild but still very memorable. In my mid 20s I was getting cat called by a fairly aggressive cat caller (and I wasn't someone that garnered lots of cat calls ... looking about 12 at that point). As he craned his neck around to holler at me he walked directly into a pole. It was highly satisfying.

I was a very smart girl who happened to be Mormon. 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.

When I was dating an ex, he was invited to a wedding that I couldn't make due to work travel. So he invited some random girl to go with him who was a bit....well, from seeing the pictures, her outfit showed way too much skin for a wedding. He then invited her to sleep in his hotel room and "nothing happened", except.....she stole several hundred dollars in cash and all his credit cards.

I dated a pilot in college who was extremely good looking. Off the bat I noticed it took him longer to get ready plus the mirror checks quickly turned me off.

I dumped him and told my friends I predicted he would be divorced with a cat at some point. Nothing against cats, but he seemed to really like them.

I looked him up after having contact with a few college friends. He had married a pretty flight attendant who cheated on him. After 2 years they divorced and fought over the cat, LMAO. The judge awarded him visitation, no kidding. He is currently a bachelor living alone.

The other incident I can post was me helping a friend whose husband was cheating. Mainly just advice, but somehow her husband saw my number constantly and figured I was also making his life "miserable". He called me and I pretended to not know who he was. Told him to stop calling. Then I put his number on call forwarding to the police department, LOL. That was the end of his calls. Thankfully they got divorced!

Girlfriend of 2.5 yrs broke up with me our senior year of college because I had gained about 20 lbs (i.e. from 190 to 210, I'm 6ft tall). Was super hateful about it - telling me how disgusted she was by it and how she no longer found me physically attractive. Messed up my confidence for a number of years after that. Roughly 10 years later I google search her out of curiosity and find picture of her, and she was morbidly obese (i.e. from 125lb in college to at least 200lbs, and she's about 5'3" tall) Part of me feels bad for her, but I can't deny that another part of me feels like its karma.

My ex cheated on me. He moved in with a woman - who cheated on him.

My sister in law was really kinda mean to me about my "elected" c sections. They weren't really elected. The first one came about when the doc said "he is breech and your canal is narrow, if I were you I would schedule a C" so I did just that and kinda stuck with that routine with my other 2. She would make bizarre comments about missing the "process" and how it must be so hard to keep having repeated major abdominal surgery. It really wasn't that bad, it was all I knew! 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".

I can't tell you, because any time I tell the story people get mad. But something awful happened to my relative who cheated and left his wife/family. It was very ironic/karmic. All I can say is, be careful what you wish for.....

Many years ago, the bros who lived across the hall would steal my newspaper every morning. I finally took an old newspaper, opened it up and filled it with the contents of my cat's litter box and a bunch of coffee grounds. Stuck it back in a delivery bag and left it on the front steps early one morning.

Sure enough, they took the bait and never stole it again.

This is petty AF, but several years ago my office moved to a cube farm where window space was limited and highly coveted. I put in my "dibs" for the sole window unit available to my team, and all seemed fine.

Another member of my team cited seniority to get the spot, and so I was assigned to a different cube. Fine, fair enough. BUT, it turns out she had light sensitivity and couldn't sit in the window. So she turned it down, but orchestrated the timing in a way that her buddy was able to swoop in and take the coveted spot. They'd planned the entire thing. Clearly these are people with too much time on their hands.

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.
