    This thread about karma got me thinking

    What is the best example of "karma" in action that you have seen? For me, it was a few months ago. I was at a festival, on the last day, and got talking to a friend of the friend of the people we were camping with. On the second day, she had lost her camera. It was a really good expensive Nikon camera as well and she was devastated. She checked Lost & Found and turns out somebody had just handed it in! She was delighted, this was a small festival, if she had lost it at Oxegen or something it would have been pocketed in a heartbeat. Anyways, she was absolutely delighted and kept saying how lovely it was that an honest person had found it, and as she was saying this, she found an iPhone 5 on the ground. And she pocketed it. Everyone kept saying to her that she should really hand it in, after being so happy that someone handed in her camera but she refused, and kept it.

    That night, as she was sleeping, someone shat in her tent.

    On her furry handbag.

    That she went looking for in her dark tent looking for her torch.

    Karma! :cool:

    The way this story reads, it sounds like someone that knew her took the **** in her tent.

    Karma seems to always find me.
    Obviously I've grown up now but years ago When I was younger I bought a robbed moped and drove the sh1te out of it.
    Two year later when I started driving my car was robbed and another one after that.
    Reckon that was karma kicking me up the hole

    I enjoyed seeing Naomi Campbell squirm in a War Crimes tribunal. I bet every PA she has ever had, had a whale of a time watching it.

    best example of karma has to be at our local Indian restaurant


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,994 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr


    fella round our way was notorious for compo claims, nearly closed down one local business. The joke was that he'd fall over a speck of dust.

    fell down his stairs at home and broke his back, paralysing him.


    bit harsh, but karma at work.

    I've watched 'My Name is Earl'.
    Does that count?

    I heard of a farrier who was known for illtreating animals, recently a horse kicked him in the chest and killed him.:D

    You know you are getting old when you can't keep up with the latest euphanism for minge :o

    Living in the States a good few years ago in a Paddy's abroad apartment in NY, 10 to a room, working on building sites.

    Sunday evening after a very heavy weekend we were discussing tactics for getting out of work on the Monday without being sacked.

    One of the lads said he'd just tell them his granny had died. This excuse got him out of dodge in the past he told us.

    Fast forward three hours, middle of the night, the phone rang. Granny was gone!

    Haha! It actually wasn't a euphanism but would be hilarious if someone did actually poop on her hooha.
    Whoever did it had obviously got some erm... digestive issues and couldn't quite make it to the portaloos, which were close by.

    You just beat me to it, was about to post the same link. That would be a case of just desserts if I ever I saw some.

    The great thing about karma is that you can be a cunt to everyone you meet, knowing that they deserve it.

    I bet he won't though. It's harder for a man to contract HIV from a woman than vice versa.

    I was in the Mater A & E one night. There was a woman there sitting in a wheelchair (despite not needing one). Most other people were standing due to lack of seats other than some drunk auld lad who was also in a wheelchair.

    This woman was pretty horrible, kept having a go at nurses about being forced to wait around and racially abusing the black security guard. She was also being a pain in the arse to other people waiting to be seen. At one point she went to the bathroom, came back and sat back down to moan some more. About 5 minutes later she started screaming in disgust as she realised she'd sat down in the drunk lad's wheelchair. Turned out he had pissed all over it and decided to swap while she was in the bathroom. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. :)

    Hi guys,
    I was looking for people's stories/comments on the topic of karma? It's actually really weird and difficult to explain but I will try my best to do so. I believe that our universe is like an energy and when we bring positive energy we get it right back or negative energy comes right back.In simple terms what goes around comes back around like a full circle.I never really gave it any thought until recently when I started putting pieces of the puzzle together and then all of a sudden stuff started to make sense. I have many stories but ill touch the tip of the iceberg with this one

    A few years ago I took a dislike to one of my best friends at the time and his girlfriend mostly due to the fact that they were getting involved in my love life at the time. So I slowly stopped talking to them both and then after a few months gave them the silent treatment and then we stopped being friends and making contact.At the same time my friend on the other side stopped taking to me answering texts etc..... I never mentioned anything about blanking my other friend. Both these different friends never knew each other and we don't even have mutual friends so within the space of a year I lost 2 friends (one by choice and one for reasons unknown) Its like exactly what I was thinking was happening but it was coming in two's. It's a bit weird to explain by text and it will also sound bizarre if I get into full detail.

    I have so many other similar stories like this but this sticks out as I always wonder how exactly this could have happened.

    So who's next?
