This. So much of this thread is representative of the horrible social climate/individuals who make up the populace of the DC metro area. There is way too much delight in the misfortune of others. I personally don't believe in "karma" but if there is such a thing lots of people on this thread have some negativity coming there way.

When I was late mid 20s I had a full time job and did some babysitting to keep up with student loans. I slept with the dad a few times- before breaking it off with him & babysitting. (Yes- call me a whore, slut, homewrecker ect)
My karma- it was & continues to be the best sex of my life. The few folks before & after pale in comparison.

How did that even start? Was he flirting with you or vice versa? I just don’t understand the logistics of how it starts

Guess she deserved it?

Not sure how this is a cosmic correction. Infidelity doesn’t deserve dying of injuries and thirst.

Thirst? You don’t die from thirst because you didn’t have a drink for 3 hours.

Nailed it. Some of these people are actively seeking schadenfreude/karma/revenge/pay back - and mistaking one for the other.

This. Please stop this mindless and ignorant cultural misappropriation of the Hindu concept of Karma. You all are mostly talking about revenge, payback etc.

+100. There are some sick, sick people on dcum. Truly evil. This is exactly why you read so many miserable posts from miserable women. It isn't Karma. It's simply the Universal Law of the Universe. You reap what you sow. You can't plant corn and be shocked when beans grow. You can't hold anger and hatred in your heart and expect to be a decent person. It really is that simple.

wtf does the bolded mean?

I have no idea what that means either! I grew up on a farm and I, sure as shit, would be shocked if beans grew where we'd planted corn!

I agree with this. Taking pleasure from harm to another person experiencing harm or misfortune has very unhealthy roots and can produce its own type of bad fruit. Even when you’ve felt wronged, compassion is a pathway to forgiveness and truly releasing negative energy. And it opens up so much more for you that is good in life.

Years later I was working as a Paramedic when we were dispatched to a pedestrian hit by a vehicle. Sure enough the patient was this dreaded bully lying on the street with an open fracture to his femur.

Needless to say it was the most enjoyable call I’ve ever been on. “Surprisingly” it was the only IV I couldn’t hit in my life so he had to go without any pain meds.

Holy unprofessional... EMT's don't take a hippocratic oath, but you do have your code of conduct to uphold.

Hope the smile on your face wasn't as big as your lack of ethics.

+1. This is disgusting. I hope someone finds this OP’s IP address and reports them.

NP. You are honestly such a complete loser to even think anyone would give a crap about this. Report him based on his IP address for not putting in an IV for a 10 minute ambulance ride?!?! My god do you people hear yourselves?

I've seen it often enough that I no longer worry too much when somebody does me wrong: I know it will come back to them eventually.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year, and now after reading this thread I'm wondering what I did to deserve it?

You did nothing to deserve it. This entire thread is a little disgusting. When I'm with my Hospice patients and their families, one of the things we talk about is how life can seem so random. And it often feels completely unfair. I would love to invite some of these posters to spend the day with me. I'm spending the afternoon/evening with a six month old patient in our pediatric wing. She will probably die this afternoon. Her parents didn't deserve any of this. She didn't deserve any of it. As a chaplain and more importantly, as a human being, I urge some of you to really think about the pain you seem to delight in.

Anonymous wrote:My BFF (who I'm still great friends with), really grilled me about marrying my now DH because he is a recovering alcoholic. Lots about how I could trust him with our future children with the chance he could fall off the wagon. Did I really want to be with an addict (regardless of the fact that he was in recovery)?

Many years later, DH and I are happy and in a loving marriage. And we work together to maintain his sobriety.
She is in a horrible marriage where there is lots of contempt and hatred for each other. His behavior got worse and worse. Turns out, he's an opioid addict. He's in recovery now. But their marriage still sucks.

I love her and I'm sad for her that she is in a bad marriage. But I found it ironic that the thing she objected so much about in my life, happened in her life.
