The phrase “what goes around, comes around” takes center stage in this collection of 12 true stories, each showing how karma often arrives with impeccable timing. From betrayal to petty rudeness, these tales reflect justice served—sometimes quietly, other times with dramatic flair. Whether poetic, humorous, or heartbreaking, they serve as powerful reminders that no action, good or bad, is without consequence.

The stories vary in tone and impact. One man’s romantic proposal is publicly ridiculed, only for the woman’s life to unravel shortly afterward. Another recounts how cheating on partners in his youth led to his wife cheating on him years later—an emotionally devastating full circle. These painful experiences show that betrayal often breeds more of the same, and karma doesn’t forget.

Not all tales are heavy. Some show karma’s sense of humor. A rude museum visitor who steals a chair ends up crashing to the floor with food in his lap. Another woman pushes through a lunch line, only to slip on her spaghetti at the exit, ruining her outfit. Even lunch theft doesn’t go unpunished, as one sandwich thief finds out when a booby-trapped spicy sandwich teaches him a fiery lesson.

Others reveal karma’s swift justice. A woman wrongly accuses a pizza shop of messing up her order—only to discover it was the wrong store entirely. Another teen learns the hard way that wishing harm on others can rebound painfully, when his own careless driving leads to a crash. These incidents serve as gentle but firm lessons in mindfulness and accountability.

Perhaps the most satisfying comes when a road-raging driver speeds past, only to be pulled over by an unmarked cop moments later. In all, these stories share a common thread: justice, while not always immediate, eventually finds its way. Whether it teaches humility, delivers poetic payback, or offers closure, karma proves itself a quiet, patient force. The message is clear—treat others well, because every choice echoes back eventually.
