Is there anything more satisfying than watching someone who really deserves it get their comeuppance? On the other hand, is there anything sweeter than seeing someone be deservedly rewarded for something good they did? Some people call that karma, and the best kind of karma is instant: when someone does something good or bad and immediately gets the payback or the reward that they deserve. We’ve gathered stories from around the web of people who got the instant karma that they deserved, either for good or for bad. Read on to see just how satisfying it can be when somebody gets exactly what’s coming to them.
Car Crash Karma
Getting stuck in traffic on the freeway is very obnoxious; I don’t think I could live in one of those cities where there’s terrible traffic all the time, like Los Angeles. There is little that is more frustrating than creeping ahead a couple of feet at a time for what feels like hours, knowing that you’ve still got 3 miles until the next exit.
As frustrating as it is, though, breaking traffic laws is basically always going to be the wrong response. For one thing, if a cop sees you, you’re going to be in trouble—and if the traffic is caused by an accident, you can assume there are a lot of cops around. For another thing, you might learn the hard way that the shoulder is really not designed to have cars driving on it, like the person in this story.
