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

Karma Fairy, all is forgiven....These things happen for a reason. Just yesterday, my Mum in Law arrives for her weekly session of adore and be adored with the grand-daughters.
Just after arriving, and before hearing about the above, she was telling us about Friday night. She's sitting up in bed, watching telly on her very old portable. We bought her a freeview box a couple of years ago and she loves it - more trash than ever before! Anyhoo, her wee dog (looks like a cross between a yorkshire terrier and a floor mop) starts barking at the telly. It refuses to stop, and MIL decides something is wrong. On closer inspection, the telly is smoking - badly.
She unplugs it and phones my nephew to move it downstairs (they only live round the corner) and he opens up the back. All smouldery and burned it was, so he sticks it in the wheelie bin.
As soon as she finished, we knew exactly why we had a spare telly. It was boxed up, and my hubby took her home later and connected it up. She's absolutely thrilled, and keeps offering some money for it. Fact is, she doesn't have the money to buy a new one without making economies elsewhere, so we wouldn't dream of taking anything for it. My mum, on the other hand, can well afford to buy one if she wants to (three foreign holidays a year tells you she isn't exactly skint).
So, a good ending all round I think!
