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

Damn that KarmaLong time lurker first time poster so be gentle.
Just got back to blightly after a lovely holiday and was due to go back to work the next day. I was supposed to be leading on a training session which I'd completely forgotten about and hadn't prepared anything so I thought I'd do the honorable thing... and phone in sick.
Still in the holiday mode I convinced my then bf to also take the day off and we'd head off to London for a fun and frolics day out, not giving a second thought to my poor work colleagues having to deliver the training.
So I crack open a bottle of wine settle down for a nice evening without the damn I have to work the next day feeling. One bottle turns into two and before I know it I'm heading off downstairs in search of a third and end up falling off the last stair and land in a heap on the floor, stay their for a few minutes in agony, quickly shake it off, find the wine and off I trot thinking the pain would go away soon.
Next morning my foot is the size of my head and a lovely black color. Bollocks that's London off the table so spent the whole day in A&E getting lectured off a nurse about drinking in moderation, despite my best efforts to convince her that I wasn't drunk at the time and my foot growing in size by the minute.
Turns out it was badly broken. I ended up being off work for about 8 weeks, didn't heal properly, had to go and get it rebroken and pinned back together and was off work again for a few months. Still not right even now years later... still got me out of training though.
