We’ve all heard the phrase “What goes around, comes around,” but there’s something powerful about witnessing karma strike in real-time. These 12 true stories capture moments when justice was served—sometimes harshly, sometimes hilariously. They remind us that every action has a consequence, and often, karma knows exactly when to show up.
Story 1: A Proposal Rejected, Then Regretted
At 21, one man proposed to his girlfriend Becky in front of family. She sneered at the ring and asked, “Is this all I’m worth?” Embarrassed and heartbroken, he cut ties. Two weeks later, her father begged him to stop Becky from marrying an older man. But karma had already answered—and he didn’t look back.
Story 2: Cheater Turned Victim
From ages 17 to 20, one man made a habit of dating women already in relationships. Years later, married with a child, his wife cheated on him with three men. The last became the father of her second child. Harsh? Yes. But it was karma coming full circle.
Story 4 & 5: Spaghetti Justice
In two different stories, rude diners got served more than just food. One man stole a chair only to fall and wear his lunch. Another woman cut the line, grabbed extra meals, and slipped at the door—sauce all over her white shirt. Poetic justice, with marinara on top.
Story 7: A Sandwich Stolen—and Spicy Revenge
A hungry office worker stole a gourmet sandwich. The next day, his own lunch packed a fiery surprise. A sticky note warned: “Hope you enjoyed the surprise.” Lesson learned—karma can burn.
Story 9 & 11: Words and Mistakes
One customer ranted at a pizza shop—only to learn her order came from across the street. Another teen wished a classmate into a car accident, then hit a parked car himself. Sometimes, karma teaches fast—and painfully.
Story 12: The Cop in the Fast Lane
Tailgated by an aggressive driver, one man changed lanes—just in time to watch that driver flip him off… right in front of an undercover state trooper. Lights flashed. Instant payback.
These stories prove that even if karma takes her time, she never forgets. So, be kind, be fair, and when wronged? Sit back. Karma’s always on the clock.
