When you have an encounter with a horrible person, it will surely make you feel worse if you cannot do anything about it, right? But that’s not all the case because if fate is your ally, you won’t even need to lift a finger for these people to get what they deserve.
These stories will show you that if KARMA is in your favor, justice will be served faster than a bullet. Come check these out!
1. Muddy Mishap
It was my karma.
I was in eighth grade. I was standing on a bench when I watched some girl fall over in the yard.
I started laughing and pointing, and then I went to lean back onto the fence that was behind the bench.
Turns out it had broken off where I was standing and I fell straight through and into the mud.

2. Subway Showdown
I was in the NYC subway. A guy elbowed me out of the way to get into the turnstile first yelling vaguely that he "has a train to catch.”
Through the turnstile, turn the corner and there are a few cops set up near a folding table. He gets pulled to have his bag searched.

3. Stool Swap Saga
I worked at a grocery store. I was stocking instant noodles on a big sale display. All I had was a cheap small step 2 step stool, the one with the bar that runs across the top step.
I was reaching down to the stool from the shelf I was standing on, which was about 3 feet. I had a 60% chance my foot would land on the top bar and collapse the thing. I asked a coworker to use his shoulder as a handle as I got down. My supervisor called me a “princess” for getting assistance.
Soon after, he was stocking the 2-liter Coke bottles on a sales display. He tried to get down. He took the 40% success rate jumped onto the step and hit the top bar. The step ladder collapsed. He broke his arm and took down half of the display. I just clocked out and left before they told me to clean up the spilled soda all over the place.

4. Blizzard Justice Against Speedy Truck
I was driving home on the highway during a horrible blizzard at night. The roads were extremely slick and dangerous, I was going about 30 mph. My daughter was a newborn and it was the first time I had ever driven in the snow with her so I was nervous.
Some fool in a huge truck is doing 65 mph, passing everyone in the slow lane. He was just being risky and ignorant of the conditions and other drivers in general. He passed me, and I was like, "You're gonna crash bro."
Right at that moment, the dude fishtails, loses control, and crashes into a ditch. Don't worry, I'm not a sadist, he was completely fine. I know this because I saw him emerge from the truck and do a little angry freak-out dance. His truck wasn't fine.
That's what you get for endangering others during a blizzard!

5. Soles Survivor
I was 17 when I had my shoes stolen. I went to a party where there were kids from two different high schools. I went inside and I took off my brand-new shoes that I had just bought for $140.
Hours later, when I went to leave, my shoes were gone. We had an idea of who took them (a guy from the other school) but we didn’t have proof. I was so sad and so embarrassed. I had to drive home in my socks.
A week later, Monica (the girl who threw the party) shows up on my doorstep holding something behind her back. It turns out she went to a party and saw the guy who stole my shoes, wearing them! When he took them off after a smoke break she snagged them!
Now, standing in front of me she reveals my kicks! She told me the best part was watching him look for them (just like I had) and then he had to leave in his socks!

6. Flip Phone and Flipped Revenge
This horrible kid in middle school kept trying to steal my cell phone (it was a cheap flip phone, but he'd do it just to piss me off). Our school had a rule that you couldn't have your phone out in class. The teacher left the classroom for a second to have a brief word with an administrator, then this kid grabbed my phone.
When the teacher came back a moment later, she caught him red-handed with my phone out. She wouldn't believe it wasn't his phone. He got detention.

7. Highway Justice
My dad told me this story.
He was driving back from the shore when traffic got really bad. About a mile ahead, there was an accident that had brought traffic to a crawl. My dad decided to be patient about it.
Others weren’t so patient. People began driving on the shoulder to get ahead of the traffic. This pissed my dad off. We all know how this goes. We do the right thing and are punished for it, whereas these awful people were skipping in front of traffic and will probably get away with it.
He thought about following this stream of cars onto the shoulder, but he decided he’d do the right thing and wait.
As he got closer he saw two cops in a parking lot. One cop was directing all of the shoulder drivers into the parking lot, while the other wrote all of those drivers' tickets. He describes it as one of the most satisfying things he’s ever seen.

8. Spit-tacular Response
I used to be a zookeeper. There was this awful woman making fun of our llama for looking ugly. The llama was a rescue who had corrective jaw surgery.
The woman pointed and laughed at our llama. Then all of a sudden, the llama spat in her mouth. I gave the llama a treat and told her that she was a good girl.

9. Knee Slapper
I banged my knee on the corner of a hotel bed. My husband was laughing uncontrollably while he was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.
As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he hit his knee the same way.
I never laughed that hard in my life.

10. Spicy Vengeance
Not instant, but karma nonetheless. My dad kept getting his lunch stolen at work one day, so he got my mother to get the spiciest hot sauce on the market to put on the sandwich. Lo and behold, the guy who stole it was looking red as a hot iron.
They fired the guy and my dad got to eat his lunch again.

11. Friendly Teasing Takes a Tumble
Back in high school I was kind of being a pain to a girl I was friends with. Nothing too bad, just some friendly teasing, but still. Then I turned around and fell a flight of stairs.
Even mid-fall the karma and the justice did not escape me. We both found it pretty funny.

12. All coming back to you
At a job as a mechanic, I got a part that was completely correct except the electrical plug was a different shape. I found that out after I installed it. (For the record it did plug in, just didn't have long enough prongs to communicate.)
I had to order the right part again, take this one off, and install the right one, all while only getting paid to put the correct one on (lost about 1.3 hours.)
My co-worker laughed and said, "Bet you won't make that mistake again. Pay attention next time."
In his very next job, he put all 4 tires on backward (some tires are directional). I said the same thing to him. I knew I would use it against him. I didn't know it would be that soon.

13. Eye for an Eye
I remember a kid climbing on the roof of a classroom to get conkers to throw down at people walking past.
He threw one at someone in the year below, who caught it magnificently, then returned it with absolute precision directly into the guy’s left eye.
The weird thing was, no one said anything. We all saw it and just accepted that the karma had indeed been dealt with. The kid on the roof climbed down and went to the matron.

14. Construction Zone Comedy
I was driving into a construction zone where three lanes converged into one. Right at the point it became one lane, a car tried to pass me on my right. I slowed down so he wouldn't hit me, but he ran over one of those metal lane dividers.
It got caught up in his back right wheel well and went around a few times. I could see and hear it make a mess of his fender. The last thing I saw was he was pulling over to inspect the damage.

15. Walk-A-Thon Con
Not instant karma but I remember in middle school, I knew a kid that would go door to door collecting donations for the Walk-a-Thon. After that, he'd keep the money for himself. He used the money to buy video games with it.
One day he loans his "friend" his game collection. His friend moved away with all of his video games.

16. Road Trouble
I've got two. I can't decide which one is best.
The first one is driving to work during a snowstorm. Pretty much everyone is taking it easy because of snow. Some guy in a car thinks that he's invincible, so he comes driving down the road probably 15 miles an hour faster than everyone else.
So he went past me and I didn't see him again until the fork in the road. Mr. Superhero went into the turn too fast and slammed into an iron fence at the triangle dividing the two streets. He was fine, because he was outside of his car, looking at it with a look of confusion.
The second one was driving home one night around 10 pm. I was stopped at a red light in front of a shopping mall, about midway down the block. The east and westbound road is separated by a pedestrian island.
Someone pulls up next to me at the light, looks around, and drives through the red light. Suddenly, from the opposite side of the street, red and blue lights, a "whoop whoop" of a siren, and an NYPD car hopped onto the island and pulled the guy over.
The police weren't camped out or anything, just waiting at the red light on their side of the street. It was the right place at the right time.

17. Road Rage to Rear-End
I saw a guy in a gorgeous sports car, honking and yelling at a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The pedestrian had the right of way and was crossing during the signal. Immediately after they passed, the guy darted around the corner and rear-ended a cop who was in the middle of writing a ticket.
There was a truck parked on the street that was just enough to obstruct the fancy car guy's line of sight through the turn. It was glorious. I didn't even see it happen, I just heard the crunch right after he turned the corner.

18. Lamp Post Showdown
In elementary school, all the kids went to the bus stop together. As we walked, one of the 2nd graders ran into a lamp post. One of my classmates couldn’t stop laughing.
We crossed the street and he was still laughing and didn’t look where he was going. You know what’s coming, he ran into a lamp post as well and instantly got laughed at.

19. Truck Turnabout
I was waiting to turn left at a red light. The arrow turned green and I started to turn. A huge lifted pickup truck came around me from the right and cut in front of me to make the turn. This scared the heck out of me more than anything else because this was a big truck and he was going fast.
Couldn’t have been more than 1 minute down the road and I saw the truck had been pulled over. Who would’ve thought that would happen?

20. Face Smash
I was walking to the store with a friend when we were 13. We heard someone yelling at us and as we turned around, we saw some kid about 50 feet away. He was cussing and yelling every other homophobic word you know at that age.
As we started to walk over to confront him, he did a 180-degree turn and started running while turning. Well, he spun around and ran face-first into a tree and hit it hard enough. He fell to the ground from the impact.
We couldn't stop laughing and hopefully, that was enough embarrassment for him to learn a lesson.

21. Awkward Avenger
At the end of the day in the locker room after gym class, this freshman kid who was popular and always talked a lot of bad things started messing with this guy who was kind of awkward and kind of got picked on a lot. They got in each others' way in flag football or something. The awkward guy ignores the cocky kid for a while until the cocky kid pushed him.
Then, the awkward guy had enough and hit the cocky guy in the face three times before he hit the ground. He knocked his front teeth out. As we were all leaving school and talking about it, the overall consensus was, "Well, that's what happens when you talk that horribly."

22. Instant Karma Cruise
This happened a couple of months back. A young driver in a brand new car dangerously overtakes me and others on a single lane. I caught up with him at the next set of lights both with a car ahead of us.
I did the universal “Wind down your window” sign and suggested he must cool his driving or he will get into a crash.
He told me to “Back off.” When the lights go green, he boots it off the line and smacks into the back of the car in front. His bonnet was bent in half, the radiator blown, and airbags deployed.
I got out, checked the other poor innocent driver who was unharmed, gave him my details as a witness, and gave the stubborn driver the old “told you so” and carried on my way.

23. From Laughter to Splatter
I was paintballing last Saturday and there were a bunch of kids there for a birthday party. The birthday boy didn't like the fact that one of his guests had made a joke at his expense and everyone laughed. So he shot him in the back of the leg from 1 yard away.
When walking away like nothing happened, he tripped over a root and landed on his gun resulting in his hopper opening, all his paintballs spilling onto the ground and the end of the gun taking a chunk of skin from his hip.

24. Tale of Epic Jump
I was at a show jumping event and a little girl went up to a famous show jumper with her book of famous riders and asked him to sign it. She couldn’t find him in the book and asked if he could help her. He responded find it yourself and walked away.
In his final round worth 100,000 dollars, on the first jump, the horse stopped and he fell face-first into the floor. Not going to lie I was laughing.

25. Judgy Von Slammed
My roommate is very nosy and judgmental about people's sex lives. At the beginning of the first semester, we went to dinner with our suitemate who is quite a few years older than us to get to know her. Somehow, we got on to the topic of teenage mothers, and our suitemate admitted that she got pregnant at sixteen.
Then, my roommate said something along the lines of "I would get an abortion so fast. I'm guessing you didn't want to keep it either?" only to find out that our suitemate had a miscarriage. It was an awkward meal after that but it was so refreshing to see her get shut down like that.
I hope she learned a lesson.

26. The Flash Vengeance
I was driving on a two-lane road through a neighborhood. The road had a lot of turns, and the double-yellow line was a clear indicator that passing was not allowed. I was driving the speed limit for the neighborhood, 30mph, when this car came up behind me and passed me.
Two seconds later, a police officer who just happened to see the whole thing from an upcoming intersection, flashes his lights and pulls the guy over. That was great.

27. Whip It Back
This is too good not to share.
When I was about 16 and my brother was 12, we lived on a ranch. We had horses, cats, dogs, and chickens. Because of the horses, we had this thing called a lunge whip. It's a long, flexible pole with a length of rope at the end.
My brother and I were waiting for the horses to finish eating. My little brother was dragging around the lunge whip, at first, to play with the cats. But then, the stubborn little man starts snapping the whip near the cats, mostly to irritate me.
"Hey! Don't do that! Mom already said that you weren't supposed to, and if you accidentally hit one of them I'll beat you up!"
My little brother looks me in the eyes and says, "I do what I want."
He flicks the whip once more, and it snaps back and hits him straight on his area. I have teased him about that for years.

28. Smelly Revenge
I was playing volleyball with a group of friends a few years back. One of the guys who is just an acquaintance of mine was known for being unreasonably angry.
Throughout the whole game, he’s been a total pain to everyone, yelling and screaming, citing the rules, and saying everyone is breaking them.
Eventually, we all had enough so we just unanimously kept egging him on and acting dumb on purpose to fluster him. At one point he gets so mad that he gets on both his knees and starts screaming. While he does this a lone pigeon swoops by and takes a poop on his face. The rest of us laughed about it for weeks.

29. Talk about coincidence
This happened to me.
I was driving down a windy mountain road behind a guy doing exactly the speed limit. We came to a straightaway that was long enough for me to pass him. Like a fool, I rode his bumper, swerved into the opposing lane, and stomped the gas to get past him.
While I was passing, I noticed a police car parked behind a bush and I was immediately pulled over for speeding.

30. Getting Even with Birds
In 8th grade, my best friend and I were on the soccer team together. We were on the bus on the way to a game and she had some sort of breath spray with her. She sprayed it directly in my eyes. I'm pretty sure it was an accident but it burned like heck and I was pissed.
This happened right as we were arriving. We all hopped off of the bus and immediately started warming up. We were passing the ball back and forth and as soon as I passed it to her, a bird poop on her head.
It's one of my favorite memories.

31. Palm Tree Pummeling
I found out the guy next to me had broken his hand by his scream. He was trying to sucker punch me in the side of the head and I had moved. He hit a palm tree.
We had a pretty harmless argument earlier in the night. I was quite amused.

32. Holy Whacked
In high school, one girl was going to prove the Bible was fiction. She comes in with the Bible, is going to prove to everyone that it's not real, and slams it down on her desk. After that, she sits.
The desk collapses underneath her. I kid you not. God might not be real, but karma is real.

33. T-bar Triumph
I was skiing at Breckinridge, and they have a T-bar tow lift. For those who don't know what that is, it is a big upside down 6-foot tall upper case "T" which is pulled by a cable. You hold on and it slides you up the mountain.
The T shape allows for two people to hold on to either side of the crock of the T. People fall off of this all the time when they are not used to it, which gives locals a sense of superiority.
Well, one brave young boy, maybe 12 or 14 years old was on a snowboard set out to handle the T-bar. He lost his footing about 30 seconds in but held on despite being dragged.
This happens often but usually for only a few seconds as most have good enough sense to let go.
Instead, this boy was dragged up more than a thousand feet on his belly. I was behind him as was another couple. We could not believe he was holding on. Well, the Tbar stopped further up for someone else (didn't stop for him) and he was too exhausted to stand up and fix his situation.
The couple behind him had been laughing so hard that when the Tbar abruptly started up again, they fell off. The bottom line is he made it to the top and they did not.

34. Stop Sign Saga
My neighbor followed me down my driveway to yell at me for not coming to a “complete stop” at the stop sign. I apologized politely, even though I knew he was being petty as we live on a dead-end quiet street. He then proceeded to yell and curse at me as he backed out of my driveway.
As karma would have it, he backed into my tree and dented the whole side of his car. His mirror was also ripped off. He then proceeded to fly off down the road and didn’t break for the stop sign.

35. Karma in 20/20
This guy with glasses yelled at me for passing the ball to someone else instead of him. He swore and raged at me, the other team's player accidentally threw the ball in his face.
He got his glasses shattered on his face.

36. Frosty Fumble
I was walking through an incredibly icy parking lot when I slipped and fell on my butt.
A truck full of guys drove by and rolled down their windows to yell out mean things to me and laugh at me.
They went up the row and took the turn too fast and crashed into a light pole. I laughed at them as I walked past their smoking truck

37. Evil Plan Falling Down
A girl I knew and didn't particularly get on with was talking to some friends rather loudly. She was talking nastily about me regarding some sort of crazy attempt to intimidate me while she was very drunk and wobbling all over the place in a total state.
I chose to ignore it even though it put a huge dampener on my evening.
No more than five minutes later she fell down the stairs and broke her collarbone.

38. Traffic Tango
I was driving home from school one day and it was particularly busy. This one dude in a sports car was weaving between cars behind me as we were approaching a part of the road that merged from two lanes to one.
He zoomed past us, and there was no room to merge because of busy traffic so he cut off this newer model charger in front of me. Lo and behold, it was an unmarked police cruiser. He made the officer slam on the brakes, who then promptly turned on his lights and pulled him over.
I fist-pumped as I drove by.

39. Major Mix-up
I met this guy at the bus stop. He asked for my major, and the minute he learned I was majoring in visual arts he started berating me saying it was a useless major and was going to end up homeless.
I just ignored him and got on the bus. After a while, it becomes clear that there is a talent scout on the bus as a man is talking loudly on the phone about recent contracts.
The guy I met at the bus stop started pulling out a CD player and insisted that the talent scout listen to his Elton John impression.
The talent scout guy was impressed and a bit incredulous. The guy had mixed up his CDs and had him listen to an actual Elton John album. I never saw someone slouch back in their seat with such shame and embarrassment. It made my day.

40. Pricey Pit Stop Penance
I was waiting in the car line at the gas station. I was the next in line with an empty spot to my right that was out of order. Suddenly, the guy behind me swung out of line to cut me and pulled up to the empty spot.
He realized it was out of order and everyone in line witnessed his karma comeuppance. He sped off to the more expensive gas station down the street.

41. Coin Karma Countdown
When I was 18, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and had to undergo chemo and a few surgeries. Anyways, that Christmas, there was a fellow in our town who put a coin jar, the thing the Salvation Army does in front of stores in his front yard.
Every year he raises money this way and donates it to kids with cancer. A kid from our town decided it was a sweet idea to steal it, and ended up getting caught soon after.
The next year, he was diagnosed with cancer and had to do chemo and radiation. He ended up on a show apparently with his mommy crying about how his sister stole money from them when in need. I don't wish that nasty disease on anyone but if there was one person who kinda deserved it it was this person.

42. Toast to Instant Karma
I was at a party and my buddy came up to me and clanked the bottom of his beer bottle on the top of mine. Normally, the vibrations cause your beer to foam up and come out the top but this time it caused the neck of my bottle to break.
As he was standing there laughing at me, the bottom of his bottle broke off and fell to the ground along with all the beer. That’s what you call Instant karma.

43. Tailgating Turmoil to Deer Disaster
This was a few years ago, but there was a massive snowstorm in the area where I moved. Having lived in a desert state all my life previously, I was not used to driving in such conditions.
Thankfully my partner and I had finished up work around 9 pm that night. He swung by my workplace so that I could follow him home through the storm. My partner and I were driving pretty slowly down the roads on our 4-way because the storm was so bad and it was dark out. This guy started tailgating me for miles.
He was revving his engine, and flashing his bright lights the whole time making me even more freaked out than I already was. Then when he decided he'd had enough, he whipped out from behind me and sped up to pass my partner. However, he failed to notice the deer on the other side of the road and ended up smashing the deer's head while going about 45 mph.
Immediately, he had to pull over and wait for a tow truck. Guess that's what happens when you try to be a doofus in a winter storm.

44. Swift Arm of the Law
I was at a retail store in DC on Christmas Eve doing some last-minute shopping. A middle-aged guy was walking out with a new video game console when all of a sudden, a mugger slugged him in the stomach, took the video game console, and took off running frantically.
Little did the mugger know as he ran, that a police officer was about five paces in front of him.
Within just two seconds of mugging, he took a clotheslining nightstick to the face and was on the ground out cold. The guy got his video game console back and was fine.

45. Family Feud Fiasco
My sister-in-law accused my wife of being a gold digger, and sterile. She also said she was the reason I ruined the family business. (For reference this was when we met, I also promised my brother I would help at the family restaurant through college. When I graduated and found a job, I was done.)
And then boom! I discovered she had an ongoing affair for the last 3 years and was using business money to fund their little escapes. She also had a child and my brother knew nothing about it because she didn’t know who it belonged to!
Meanwhile, my wife and I had twins and were still happily married. So satisfactory.
