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 necessarily karma...This is a tale about an ex-work colleague (let’s call him ‘Negative’, as it makes for a clever and appropriate pun on his real name); one who had a penchant for lying, largely about flings with the women he most desired, who, without fail, refused to acknowledge or return his affections. Talking endlessly about his heroics during fisticuffs, which may have been true, but in my book makes him even more of a cnut. Trying to force himself upon unsuspecting women in bars, clubs, the street… (although he wasn’t guilty of actually violating them, what he used to call chatting women up usually involved pressing himself against them and allowing his hands to run freely over their unwilling bodies). And frequently drinking way beyond his capacity then galloping swiftly home under the power of several horses.
The karma bit, as is supposed to be the point of this already meandering tale, loosely comes with Negative finding new gainful employment (having been removed from my current company for developing something of a fondness for drinking too much, every night), buying a shiny new car with even more horses, and continuing the old drink driving habits, but to a far greater degree.
This, ultimately and predictably, meant that one cold winter’s eve, with 12 pints of Belgium’s most reassuringly expensive sloshing around his stomach, he clambered aboard his shiny new stead and sped down the road towards his home. At some point along the short route from tavern to dwelling his horses overpowered him and flung themselves at some of their stationary friends, causing in excess of £30,000 worth of damage.
Of course he waited patiently (read ‘dazed and confused’) in his car until the police arrived to whisk him away for bed and breakfast at her majesty’s pleasure, and is now having to face the consequences of his actions. Not entirely a story about karma I know, but if karma exists, he’ll soon be fending off insalubrious advances in prison, and ones far worse than those many a woman has had to endure during his past drunken escapades...
