Karma have you witnessed it yourself? do tell more

[Roverlord off road spares]

We talk about Karma sometimes in discussions. Well it brought back memories of when I actually witnessed it and gained from the experience, it was gold.
I worked for a chap in sales, He was a Jew and I was born German, so imagine the fun we had at times;)
He was ok to work for a lot of the time, hell I worked for him for 15 years.
but he would belittle me in company of other Jewish customers.( in fun he always professed, but it was a form of bullying.)
Anyway one day a customer came in and I was told he was gay and I should serve him. He and the other staff were bemusing themselves in the office.
The customer became a long term client of mine , he gave me the jobs as I had the patience to deal with him. This bloke wasn't stupid either, he knew how I was treated sometimes.
Now the good bit about Karma. We did a job for my customer and he came to pay the balance of his bill by cash . The Balance was $3350.00.
The boss was there and the customers was counting out the cash in hundreds in front of the boss and me. As he was counting, he remarked to my boss that he had done a lot of business with the firm and how about a discount for cash? The boss said ok make it $3000 cash. So my customer hand over the 3Gs to my boss and in front of my boss handed over the remaining $350 cash to me and said here's a tip for you, you've earned it:):):)
The look on boss's face was priceless, Karma in action and I got to see it.
Needless to say the customer rang me a few minutes later and told me he appreciated the service I had always given him and I deserved the money as he could see how I was treated over a period of time.
I left that company after 15 years and it was on angry terms, but I can always reflect on the day I witnessed Karma, and it still feels good:D

Yeah, that is gold! Well, I witnessed it the year before we left the UK.. It was winter and we were experiencing torrential rains... so much so that getting home from work was a problem if you were in a car... My wife was in her car, but I'd decided to run the Iveco 65C15 Daily Double Cab I had back then into work. On the way home, I got the call from the wife that she was not game enough to drive thru a certain flood and could I come get her. No prob. Whilst at said flood, loading her car onto the back of the Iveco, a black BMW came past at wharp speed, soaking me and SWMBO. I was not amused and SWMBO was even less amused. Sure enough, once loaded and on our way around the next bend and who do we find sill deep in water and stationary? Yup, our Black BMW friend.. So as I slow for a gentle pass, he opens the door to get out and flag us down... SWMBO with that devious look leans over and says "if you want it tonight, you'd best floor it"!!! I did just that, and I recon the best part of 40 litres of water introduced itself to him and the interior of his car! That to me is Karma!!! :twisted: (oh, and a win win situation!! ;))

Thats Gold also!!:D

I witnessed a bloke in a lifted 4wd ute floor it at the lights to cut in front of a smaller car because his left lane ended just just the other side of the lights.

As he cut in front, his rear right wheel drove up on the bonnet of the smaller car and he flipped onto his side.

Serves him right. Instant justice I reckon.

(Don't believe in karma though).

They are both awesome! I can't compete with that! What I did see on the old tele track last year were a convoy of bogans who wouldn't listen to advice.

We were about to cross the first creek on the northern section. They pulled up behind us and made the (Nissan driver) "pussy" remarks as we tarped the front of our rangies for the crossing. One had bent up his rear mudflap as well and decided to remove it there.

Without tarping up, the first Nissan went through, immediately followed by the other three. We let the water settle then went through no dramas. The first Nissan put his fan through the radiator (only realises this as he walks back to his so-called "rover recovery vehicle" after gloating that we wouldn't make the crossing).

They got him going again and eventually caught us at Nolan's Brook. We allowed the cars to cool and tarped up again, they - as before, just drove through. All got through. While gloating about rovers again, Nissan number 2 had sprung a leak! Funnily enough he put his engine fan through the radiator too!

They got him fixed up, headed off and caught us before Bamaga. Overtook us at six million miles per hour, then... Old mate who ripped off his rear mud flap threw up a nice boulder and it made short work of his mate's windscreen.

We passed them at Bamaga. Has a quiet chuckle too!

We were in a market in Chiang Mai in Thailand and heard an American bloke berating a woman stallholder because she wouldn't discount a painting by as much as he wanted. He was demanding a discount of about 70%, which was just ridiculous, as the rule of thumb in these markets is about 30% is reasonable. The woman was being polite, but the bloke was behaving like a complete turkey. Eventually he stormed off, still shouting at the woman. We wandered up and my wife started talking politely with the woman in Thai, commiserating her for having been abused by the American. Eventually, she offered us a similar discount to the one the bloke had demanded, but we politely declined, after thanking her for her generosity. That bloke just had no idea how to behave in another culture.

All of that is inevitable retribution or justice.

Bhuddists teach Karma as that "force' which determines your current life as a result of your previous incarnation.

I enjoy the Bhuddist approach to life and they say inevitable justice will always catch up to the bad guys.

Guess it's not much different to Karma.

[DiscoMick]

Christians also say the bad guys get it in the end when their deeds get measured. Hope its true as the line for the bad guys should be very long.

Best example I had was from back in the UK, a Friday night drive back home after work, the motorway was pretty busy with all three lanes full, but flowing well.

A total knob in a Porsche was weaving in and out of all three lanes AND the hard shoulder, cutting people up (making quite a few swerve, or hit the brakes hard), tailgating, and generally acting like a complete turd, an accident waiting to happen.

He left my vision, and I didn't think any more of it, until about 10 miles later when I saw him by the side of the road in a puddle of coolant.

I laughed.

Here another one, same work place same guy.
I was serving a customer and a guy gets out of a taxi outside the shop,He walks in and approaches me and interrupts me and my customer. He asks " what's your bosses name?"
I replied " XXX"
So off he run to the boss and is talking to him, what was going on was this guy had broken down in his car and needed a new battery, he wanted to borrow $50 as he was short of money. and had to go to the back and there wasn't his brand around here. Blah Blah
The boss says no take $100, and slips the right hand in his cordouroys and pulls out a bill. The guy apparently let him his watch for the boss as security.
So the boss was smiling thinking of his good deed.
Any way later after my customer left he said to me the guy that came in, he was a nice friendly guy, do I know him.
I said I've never seen him before. I told him all I know was He came in and asked what buyer name was and all I said your name was XXX.
Anyway his wife was an oxygen bandit who would come into to "work", work to her was to make his lunch and go shopping during company time and spend all day socialising on the phone.
Madam XXX's examines the watch the guy left and concludes it's one of those Bali specials. The guy never came back
Now why did it all become MY FAULT.?????

And one other example.Same work place same owner
A burglar breaks into the store, during the night, the alarm company rings boss at home , he says there were some birds in the warehouse so don't worry, these birds where all over the sectors!.

New day, WE BEEN ROBBED!,
DAH DO YOU THINK SO!
Taken was undisclosed amount of petty cash (that grew in size on insurance claim.)
A mobile phone, this was when onetel were about they use to have a onetel to onetel no cost call, all that was needed was the sim card.
It was a great Rort, we could use it to call or onsite estimator for nothing and he could call in jobs etc. It was like a 2 way radio system and free.

Anyway, later that day the estimator decides to ring the mobile number and the burglar answers the phone. The esitmator says ,look we are not worried about the petty cash back, we just want the mobile phone back.
The burglar says well I'll give it back to you, but I want compensation of $200 as he cut himself climbing through the broken window.:p

Ok The cops come later that day to look at break and entry for the report and the phone call is mentioned blah blah.
The cops said this burglar must be stupid , would our estimator like to call and see if he answers . Well he did and the cops wanted to set up a sting.
Well our estimator wasn't to keen to put himself in danger ,but the cops assured him he is safe and before the Burglar could raise a finger they would pounce on him, reluntantly the sting was organised, location Sth Melb Market.
The day of the sting, our estimator who drove a ute was loaded up with a load of flooring Vinyl, was going to deliver it to a contruction site near by .
Parked in a side street and then went to the rendezvous spot.
The burglar a small Asian guy, who our guy thought was a kid arrives on a bicylce. They meet and the burglar pulls out a steel pipe in view so our bloke could see it.
Still no cops pounding:eek:
Young burglar wants $200 for the phone, our chap hands over cash and gets phone back. Still no cops pounding :eek:
Burglar than asks our bloke if we will come with him to the local pub and have a drink with him, to spend the $200:eek:
Finally 6 cops pound onto the burglar and smother him to the ground.:DHe is taken down.

So his scary part of the job done, our estimator returns to the spot he had parked his load ute and finds that some one had unloaded his ute for him:mad::mad::mad::mad: So with all these police nearby he was robbed!in broad daylight.

Many years ago I was carefully driving up a notoriously corrugated back road between One Tree Hill and Golden Grove (older locals will remember it well) and an idiot in a Torana was hanging inches off my back bumper so I let him pass as soon as I could. He roared off in a blinding cloud of dust and so failed to notice in time the right angle bend into Snake Gully Rd. As we rolled up to the corner we saw he had slid out sideways, mounted the gravel bank and wrapped it somewhat around a big gum tree. My wife rolled down her window, he was frantically trying to reverse off the mound. "Are you OK?" she asked.
Reply: "This isn't my car, I borrowed it off my brother!"
Wife wound up her window and we drove quietly onwards, thinking, this kid's gonna be told some home truths when he gets back home.

When I was a teenager, my karate teacher used to let me work off my fees by helping him with his lawn and garden business. He was a popular guy, business doing well, pretty wife, and his next door neighbour hated him with a passion for some reason I could never figure out. This guy would screech abuse at my teacher, his wife or any one else when ever we went out into the yard. If I started to rise to it Rick would tell me to settle down. He eventually told me his outlook was that all the neighbour was doing was making his own life miserable, he didn't have to join him. He ended with " let him have a heart attack from stress, I don't need need to".
Guess what happened one hot day while he was going berserk because I was mowing the lawn?

When I was in Year 9 my parents sold one farm and moved to another about 120Km away. Since I was moving schools I had to have an exit interview with the Principal who proceeded to tell me that my academic record was poor, I would not amount to anything and that he was glad to be rid of me from his school.
Fast forward 7 years and I am a qualified Electronics Tech working for a company that repaired copiers and other equipment in schools. After listening to his impassioned plea about how he couldnt survive without a photocopier for more than a week and how he needed me to fix the machine quickly for some reason the parts were particularly difficult to source......
He had no idea who I was but I certainly remembered him :D
