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

Not all that funny, but...My Grandad on my Mum's side was a really nasty piece of work. A very capable and respected intellect, he was, especially when my mum and her sisters were young, a horrific bully, using his intelligence and skill with words to humiliate and belittle those around him, both at home and at work, reducing his daughters and his subordinates to tears on a daily basis.
The one fear he had was mental illness - apparently he refused to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest because the subject matter frightened him so much.
So, Karma being what it is, he got Altzheimers. For the first year of the disease, when he was sufficiently compos mentis to realise what was happening to him, his voice went up an entire octave to a terrified squeal as he realised his worst nightmare was coming to pass. By the time he died about 10 years later, he was a drooling vegetable who didn't know which way was up.
Some say you wouldn't wish something like that an anyone.
Really?
