KarmaSue Denham writes, "I once slipped out of work two hours early without the boss noticing. In my hurry to make the most of this petty victory, I knocked myself out on the car door and spent the rest of the day semi-conscious, bowking rich brown vomit over my one and only suit."
Have you been visited by the forces of Karma, or watched it happen to other people?
Thanks to Pooflake for the suggestion

Vehicular mishapsCame out of a site one day to find a note under my windshield "cack - must be a ticket". Resignedly open it to discover it's (literally) dutch and I can't understand a sodding word of it. Drive back to the digs, ask the receptionist to translate - apparently someone had spilt paint all over the front bumper. Quite miffed now, as it's a hire car, I go to check it out - and find one _tiny_ speck of white gloss next to the number plate. Can only assume they thought the car was pricey (it's not - at all - it does look quite nice tho)
Bin the note, no point in being a prick about what is really not a big deal. Ho hum.
Same site, week later, reversing out of a space, check the road behind me and turn around just in time to see my wing mirror being nicely smashed by the parked car beside me. 1000 EUR liability for repairs and the annoyance of not being alert enough to double-check my parking see me leaving a note for the driver of the other car, details etc etc. Not a bloody scratch on his car though - nothing.
Wait and wait - other bloke never calls to arrange swapping details etc, result - also manage to get my mirror repaired on the cheap before taking it off-hire (97 EUR all in as opposed to the absolute ramming I'd likely get had Avis done it).
hooray for courteous driving
