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

As predicted, Karma has bitten me on the bottomor rather, just above the bum.
As stated earlier on this QoTW, I claimed to have a dentist's appointment on Monday, so I could work from home on that day, as commuting is killing me. I predicted that - as would usually be the case - karma would get me by giving me toothache. I am, thankfully, a crap liar and my body normally makes sure it gives me whatever "sicky" I might be claiming [note to Daily Mail readers at this point - I have been self-employed for 10 years, so I don't in fact get sick pay].
Anyway, toothache would have been better than what actually happened.
On Monday I helped carry a neighbour's old chest freezer up a flight of stairs from their basement and out onto the street to be collected for recycling. The Karma fairy rewarded this selfless act by giving me a comedy bad back. I can hardly bloody walk now, the pain is hell and God knows what the solution is...
Additionally, some bastard clipped my car parked outside my house and knocked the wing mirror off. If I had have gone to work, it would have been safely in the car park.
So, the karmic cost of Mordred doing a day's working from home - one knackered body, one damaged car.
It hardly makes the shag I got from my girlfriend during the working day worthwhile...
