Karma

Da_Doc

Im a student (postgrad research) and go in religously every day, effectively i treat it as a job with pretty long hours. Had few pints last night at a charity table quiz and woke up this morn and decided to doss off today and watch tv/surf the net.

Tv license inspector just arrived and Ive a few weeks to get the license . Im in rented accommodation and its my tv in the sitting room, which i only bought recently because there was none in the house. Cant see any flatmates chipping in towards the 160. Got the tv in argos because it was a good deal, once you add on the 160 it doesnt seem good. Last time i skive off without a good reason

Any stories of times when karma bit you in the arse?

Here's one that I was reminded of recently

Kasabian

I once had a Carmel bite me on the arm.

Doubtful skiving off had anything to do with it - TV licence inspector would have called either way. Don't think anything mystical was at play here...

Where To

I once told a crowd of young kids a scary story and sh1t myself :eek:

I think you should look up the difference between 'karma' and 'things that happen'.

That is nasty. I definately got off lightly in comparison.

True but no one would have been here, the curtains would most likely have been closed etc.

I had a cup of coffee earlier and I drank it, now the cup is empty. FU karma. :mad:

There is always that SLIM chance that they may have called back when there was someone home.....:eek:

But still, don't let it deter you from skiving off again if you've been on the lash the night before and aren't expected to come in. You're being a wee bit tough on yourself if you believe you can't do that without something bad happening as punishment just because of this incident, which was just coincidental. Karma is a notion - hasn't been proven. Bad things happen to very good people, good things happen to very bad people.

I remember been angry at my friend for c0ck-blocking me one night. He brought the girl involved home that night and she ended up sh1tting in his bed. Karma

Well this was like the time last week when a beggar asked me for some change and I said I didnt have any (even though i did) - well that day in work I won an IPOD.

Karma - I didnt add to the homeless guy drug/alcohol addiction and Jesus sent me an Ipod

orourkeda

They've heard all the excuses and none of them work.

Just pay the licence

Well, it was karma. The action was staying at home, the consequence was being there when the inspector called.
nothing mystical about it.

FetchTheGin

Nice with a bit of Pilau rice and Naan bread.

some random drunk

A good example of instant karma at Burger King:

You're a mug if you pay the TV licence so others can watch your new TV. How many of ya's live in the flat? if there's 3or 4 of ya's that 40-55 euro each. Not a lot really.

Thats not cck-blocking bro, that's getting your eye wiped.

Well OP unless you got rat arsed last night, bottled a lad for no reason, felt up a young one and stole someones car then I dont tghink its Karma because it would be kinda harsh. Maybe the Inspector did something really nice and is deserving of a nice commission bonus.

Ha ha ha ha brilliant

Dudess, im not generally a superstitous person at all. I just like the idea of karma. I know logically its a load of bollocks but when I see a prick acting as a prick does its nice to imagine karma will give them an ass kicking (figuratively of course). It keeps me calm.

Well a possible good thread ruined by pedantics - Take it as a lesson op, dont start threads unless you've got over 1000 posts :rolleyes:

Agreeing with the OP that it was karma is ruining it all right. Good one.
Why are you whingeing about post counts?

Im actually quite surprised, I was half expecting a loada people to start giving out to me for not contributing to society during the recession........"no wonder the country is ****ed" and the likes. So good result

You can stick my name in, if you like, I think I was ruining it. I was certainly trying to. Now I'm overcome with guilt.

bloody karma.

Karma is for people who are paranoid, psychotic or who have a persecution complex.

You're just assuming it's an attack on the OP - it's not from me anyway. I just really dislike the whole karma concept when reality is not everyone is rewarded for good and vice-versa.

And I don't look at a person's post count and decide to reply based on it. Silly paranoid notion up there with "thanks-whoring".

If you haven't given the inspector your real name or the real names of anyone else living there then you will get away without paying the licence. He cant prosecute anyone if he doesn't know who lives there. I'm assuming that you have given him your real name tho.

Dudess

Is it just you using the TV OP? If not, get the others to stump up.

The lad who does watch it came home there and he said he would be happy enough to pay towards it. The 2 girls dont really watch it so not sure if I could or should ask them.

Your right dudess - my comment was very rash and I sucked the fun out of this thread - I apologize -

If the other people wont pay then take your telly into your room and feck them.

Yup, it not that big a deal and I will pay it regardless cos im not that badly off and Im all for contributing towards the economy etc.

I just found it quite coincidental that the one day i skip college is the day the tv license inspector arrived, but now that I type this Im thinking he could have called every day for the last three weeks for all I know.


So anyway not many believers in karma so?

Never liked Boy George or Culture Club. I think singing about any reptillian like creature is nonsensical at best.

Fact: there is no such thing as karma. There are infinite coincidences mind.
