People That Faced Karmic Justice Years Later and more...

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about people that they saw face karmic justice in the end. Seeing someone who wronged you end up getting theirs in the end has an uncanny knack for melting the heart. It's like the universe recognizes their BS behavior, and decides to intervene. Or, their luck just runs out.

I knew he was going to fail sixth grade (the first grade in my school system that you could really actually "fail" and get held back), so he did. I saw him a couple of times in the hall after that but I haven't really heard from him since. He used to talk about how he wouldn't mind being in jail at all, because you get lots of cole slaw ther

Girl Tries To Blackmail Tenant, Ends Up Paying Thousands

Man, we're not even sure who is worse in this equation: Wendy or the scumbag property management company. They let that place devolve into a complete mess of a housing situation. At least Wendy learned her lesson in the value of playing nice with everyone, and not doing something terrible like trying to scam a tenant out of thousands of dollars.

Have fun paying back six times the amount, losing all your friends, and getting exposed for your lies!:) Obligatory "not sure if this qualifies as pro," but it is definitely a step above petty. The ultimate result did give me immense satisfaction to see this girl try to scam me, fail terribly, and have to face financial, social, and legal consequences. tl;dr at the end, since this is a long one. This happ

2.

Text - On my university facebook page, I found a posting for a sublease offer by a girl named "Wendy". She was transferring out of the university and needed her room rented out. It was an individual lease so I wouldn't have to worry about damages in the shared space, I had my own deadbolt and keyfob for my door, and the shared bathroom was huge, so I didn't even care if it stayed messy. I met the other roommates, we hit it off, and within a week I had signed the sublease.

3.

Text - I learned my lesson from my previous renting situations and made sure to only sign a semester sublease with Wendy. I explained to her that I didn't want to be stuck in another lease and waiting for it to expire if my new roommates and I were not compatible. I also didn't want a lease during the summer when I didn't have plans to live on campus. She was fine with this, as no one else was willing to pay her the full amount of monthly rent. A semester went by, and my roommates were nice, so

4.

Text - Since I signed my lease extension, I had noticed that the quality of living in my complex had tanked to new lows. If you've never lived in a student apartment complex, they're pretty much run like dorms, though they are marginally cheaper and have more privacy with individual rooms. The past few months I noticed that none of the public toilets in the gym or study floors were being cleaned, the security guard would let random drunk people use the facilities inside, none of the lights on a

5.

Text - So in December, I paid $5500, plus fees for rent/ utilities/service for December-May. Note, I paid for the upcoming semester along with my last month's rent before my initial lease expired. Not smart, but I had cleaned out my entire savings to do this so I didn't have to worry about late payments, e-Check fees, or scrambling to pay rent at the end of each month. I worked a minimum wage tip-based job and there were so many stupid fees just for paying rent that were eating up my paychecks,

6.

Text - May rolls around and I double-check with Wendy that I am moving back home right after finals (May 4th) and the new tenant can move in starting June 1st since I paid until the end of May. I told her that if anyone wants to move in earlier than June 1st, to contact me because I didn't want to return my keys yet and it would be nice to get some money back for the empty apartment l'm paying for. She agreed to this. All my things were moved out except for sheets and a single pillow, just in ca

7.

Text - Wendy calls me the day after I move and cries and cries about how she cannot find anyone to take over the rest of the lease and if I could extend into the summer. She has another apartment signed at her new school and can not afford the rent for both. I tell her l'm in the same situation with my new apartment, so I can't afford to rent an empty room either. At the end of the day, her name is on the lease and not mine. She does not take this well.

8.

Text - May 15th, I get a $1000 charge on my account from the rental company for June rent, and for "losing" my keys and a noise complaint violation fee. I call management right away because no one was supposed to be home and realize it is not the lady who has been working there for the past 9 months, but someone completely different. Turns out older management knew they were being replaced since a national rental company bought the building, so they completely gave up on any upkeep during the mo

9.

Text - On top of the old management's fuck up, Wendy knew about the lack of proper sublease contract and used it to her advantage. She offered a new sublease "discounted" rent to move in for the full summer. Wendy essentially charged 2 months' rent for 4 months of living but was only able to do so since I had paid for the "free" month she was offering to her subleaser, and my damage deposit covered the last month's rent. She was actually gaining an extra $700 out of the deal, on top of having he

10.

Text - This meant that from the very next day I moved out, someone had been living in my room which I paid for, without my knowledge, or the knowledge of any of my other roommates who had gone on summer vacation. I was livid, but I still tried to patch things up between us. I offered to schedule an appointment at our local tenant's union for mediation and I even offered to just have her family talk to mine in case there were other personal issues that prevented Wendy from paying.

11.

Text - She wrote me back a nasty email from "her lawyer" saying she had a saved Snapchat of my roommates (her friends since highschool) smoking pot and drinking during my birthday party in the apartment and she wouldn't hesitate to send it to my boss, academic advisor, and the building manager. Pot is legal, I was 22, I had just passed a drug test for my internship, and I was not even present in the picture she had, so l'm not sure what she would have accomplished through this other than ratting

12.

Text - I contacted the university's free legal services and had them explain the process and required papers and documents I would need to get her in civil court. Since she was no longer a student, I was able to receive help without any conflict of interest under their "student tenant issues" advisor. The legal counselor suggested I try to pursue a court operated mediation for the issue and follow with a civil suit if the mediation didn't work. They referred me to a local lawyer who does this so

13.

Text - Then, I took her nasty email and forwarded it to every person included in the picture that she was trying to hold over me. I simply believed they deserved to know that their friend didn't care about any possible fall out they might experience and was using their post/image to blackmail someone. Finally, I spoke to the new management about the "missing" contract I had paid extra money to file. New Manager admitted she was too overwhelmed by the massive pile of garbage the building had beco

14.

Text - I had New Manager send me the new tenants' contract and forwarded the overlapping leases and the utility overage receipts since January to the accounting/fraud department of the management company AND New Manager's boss, who was in charge of making sure the transition between management was smooth. I made sure to hammer in the fact that had anything gone wrong since December, I could've been evicted for illegal subletting after the company had accepted payment, just because Wendy didn't f

15.

Text - Within a day, I had not only received the $700 refund meant for May, but over seven times more. The company wanted to wash its hands of any liability in this mess they inadvertently helped orchestrate, so they just reverted the direct deposit which included the overlapping month in question. But that payment had been made in December, so I got back six months of rent, utilities, deposit, and fees. I essentially got back a semester's worth of rent, plus December. As the original lessor to

16.

Text - I waited for a while after my payout to really make her sweat from the pressure of the court requesting her presence, and the building manager requesting $6K in unpaid rent. I knew the building manager was leaving her and her parents voicemails daily about needed to call her back to fix this situation before it got worse, but they were all avoiding calls at this point. Eventually, her family had to hire a REAL lawyer to get back to me about revisiting an out-of-court mediation. Finally, I

17.

Text - I think her family was too embarrassed to even ask for rent from December to May and couldn't deny their daughter had been lying this whole time, especially since they had to pay for a lawyer on top of everything else to clean up her mess. They never requested that I pay them back at all, and I have not heard or seen her since. None of her friends from my school are friendly with her anymore and their families are not on cordial terms since the email I forwarded to her friends spread like

18.

Text - tl;dr: Original tenant tried to blackmail me (subleaser) out of my rent and deposit, thinking l'd never know she subleased my room to someone behind my back, but ended up owing the leasing company $6000 in rent and utilities, having to hire a lawyer to represent her, and lost many friendships in the collateral since I discovered her lease was invalid and exposed her. 2.2k 55 1 Share

Tumblr Thread: Social Engineering Is A Trip

This fun Tumblr thread shines light on the crazy kinds of results that can be achieved through some good old-fashioned "social engineering."

Choosing Beggar Wants iPad For $40 And Free Delivery

Man, these kind of interactions between the choosing beggars of the world and the sane individuals just trying to make a buck without dealing with full on delusional fools really sap our faith in humanity. This choosing beggar really needs to reassess their approach to life.

Absurdly Overpriced Stuff People Have Seen

We all know someone who, against better judgement, will buy into the complete BS of an expensive product, and assume that the high price tag is a legitimate marker of quality. It's sad to see, but when someone spends literally any money on a rock in a bag, that's kind of on them. Here are some products that are getting more expensive and somehow worse, as well as some signs someone is trying way to hard to look rich.

Customer Demands Extra Jam, Gets Weaponized Donut

Customers often suffer from the problem of not knowing what they want, and then being extremely stern demanding that thing. For example, this customer who wanted exactly a pound of wings and got less wings, or this customer who demanded to use an engineless go kart. In this case it was a woman who demanded a refilled donut, and it went about as well as you'd expect.

1.

Text - Posted by u/MPX73 1 day ago Oh, I'll fill your donut, lady.... oc s Backtrack to 1987. Times were good, jobs were plentiful and little 14yr old me walked into a job as a bakery assistant. Even the 4.30am starts didn't put me off, I rolled in every Saturday morning and worked like a trooper. About two months in, someone complained about their donut not having enough jam in. I wasn't responsible for this, but the lady was having none of it and demanded a new one, full this time, not like th

2.

Text - In the back of the bakery was the donut filling machine. It was like a jam vat with a spike and a pump handle. I took an already-filled donut and put three more pumps in. It was quite round. Another pump, and it was looking pretty much fit to burst. Back at the counter, the lady was looking impatient, so I hurriedly placed the weaponised donut in a box, gave it to her, apologised and off she went. The car park was visible from the shop, she made it back there before opening the white box

3.

Text - I saw her bite it and recoil in absolute horror as the donut exploded all over her blouse. I laughed my head off. The shop owner found it less funny but realised the irony of it. For a moment I thought she was going to come in and complain but she obviously realised she'd gotten exactly what she asked for. She never complained again, but I was also never ever trusted with the donut filling machine again either! 3 4 1 3

Text - _jay 1.4k points · 1 day ago About a decade later than yours, I was working at a Maccas when we had a guy complain that he had asked for extra pickles but didn't get enough extra. So we remade his Mac and threw in a ridiculous hand full of pickles, it was almost 1:1 pickles to the rest of the buger, and so the bulging burger that was more pickle than burger was sent out.

6.

Text - Next thing we know he's yelling at us from the front counter, thinking we're going to get shit thrown at us again, we cautiously peek through the service window, and he's giving us double thumbs up grinning like an absolute idiot. In the following days he's called the manager to say how great the service was, also wrote in to make sure the store owner saw it too, and also to the Maccas head office. The next few years, every Saturday, around the same time, same order, he was there like clo

Couple Leaves Windows Open, Bats Invade Home

As far as nightmarish situations involving creepy crawlers and other animals getting into one's home while they're away, this scenario takes the cake. The poor guy's heart must've leapt outside of his chest when he realized that he was not dealing with birds, but instead an army of bats. Kudos to the landlord for tackling that terrifying situation with fearless gusto.

1.

Text - r/tifu + Join u/TheAyJay • 15h TIFU by cracking open a few windows of our third floor apartment before leaving on a week long vacation M My wife and I moved from the U.S. to Germany earlier this year. We left our cat behind thinking we'd pop back over for him once we got settled (a pre-COVID thought). COVID messed that up so this past week I went back to get him finally.

2.

Text - My wife was going to be gone while I was in the U.S. and normally we leave the tops of our windows cracked for airflow (we were told we need to air apartments regularly). These are 6 foot tall tilt-and-turn windows notorious in Germany. I returned yesterday and it's where the fuck-up unfolds. Traveling internationally with a cat and during COVID is stressful enough, so after lugging my cat and luggage home, I was ready to unwind and fall asleep. However, life likes to teach me lessons the

Text - Given that I only had a small broom to deal with the bats and it was Sunday night (nothing is open on Sundays), I frantically called my landlord for assistance. He hurried over with a 10 pool cleaning net and we got to work. We found bats in all the curtains and behind all of the canvases, posters, and mirrors. If there was a place off the ground with room for a bat, you can bet there was one there. My landlord described us as the Spartans from 300 fighting off the 125 bats (last nights e

4.

Text - Today, I caught about 30 more that apparently started to nest in one of the walls (our apartment is over 100 years old and not in the best shape). I think I got all of them, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. 0/10 would not recommend. TL;DR Wife and I left a few windows cracked while we were gone for a week and came back to 150+ bats in our apartment. They shit on everything in every room.

Twitter Thread: The Escalating Stress Of Emailing The Landlord

Tumblr Thread: Aggressive Generosity Combats Boomer Selfishness

It's quick little tales like this that manage to temporarily restore our faith in humanity. This dude did not have to intervene when the Karen in front of them was making the Dairy Queen employee's shift all the more unpleasant, but they did. Oh yes, they did, and they did so when it came at zero benefit to them. That's the selfless kindness that the world needs. Plus, picturing Karen's face when she continued to witness someone else actively offsetting her toxic antics.

Entitled Woman Expects to Pay for Painting with Prayer

The world has its unfair share of entitled folks and their frustrating demands. Sometimes people make such jaw-droppingly laughable "offers" that it's probably best to run away. For another wild piece of entitlement, here's an entitled parent who demanded a public artist make a piece just for them.

1.

Text - Hi AUG 14, 12:30 PM Hi. I saw that u posted on marketplace I thought y not get a cute portrait Oh yes! I'm open for commissions! What do you have in mind? I would like a traditional painting. A big one. Something like 48x60 inches? Wow that's big I'm not sure if I even have canvas that big. It would also take me a long time to do. Maybe 3 weeks? A portrait of what though? Of yourself?

2.

Text - No. I would like one of my dog in a mariachi outfit Ok. For that size I can do it for $300. I would need to go buy a canvas that size and I'm giving you a discount for my time. Doesn't seem like much of a discount to me. You are not a professional, u don't need to charge hourl... Well I'm trying to make a career out of this and I need to charge based on my experience, cost of supplies, and my time. I'm honestly charging you less than minimum wage based on what material costs.

3.

Text - NO SIM 12:45 PM 179% michaels.com **** sz n040) Write A Review $109.99 SIZE: 48" X 60 This is the price of a canvas that size and that doesn't include the price of paint Not to be mean but ur wasting your time by wanting to be an artist. No wonder u were sleeping in ur car. That's what u get for choosing a worthless career

4.

Text - If you joined our church we would pray for you. We would illuminate ur future w our prayers Tell you what Do a painting for our church, and we will pray for you. I know u did a painting about a year ago for our sister Why can't you do one for us and get saved while u can Are you asking me to do a painting for free? Not free U know each member pays 20% of their paycheck to church each month. This'll be kind of your innitiation to our great community I think u really need it

5.

Text - I think u really need it U are being punished because u keep rejecting Jesus into your life U need salvation and a new meaning of life. U are and will always be a starving artist. Look at u now. Do you want this for ever? If art wasn't valuable as you say. How painting that come you sold e you only paid like $30 for like $12,000? You bullied her into painting it for church. If art was that worthless why did you pocket that much money? I'm not joining your cult

6.

Text - I don't need to give explations to a no church member. You have no idea what u are talking about Right. You have never had to work in your life. You inherited multiple millions of dollars from your husband, and you are trying to get free artwork from someone who actually wants to work hard for a better future? $300 wouldn't make a dent in your bank acc. Please stop wasting my time. I'm not joining your cult.

7.

Text - I was blessed to have found a rich husband and blessed to have lived the life I have. You are being punished and will be punished for the rest of your life for rejecting Jesus. I think people like you are better off just disappearing off earth. Such a waste of space. You would have better luck becoming a prostitute instead of selling your shitty art work. I will be praying for you to fail. I have powerful connections, I will send this conversations to all of them. I can't wait to see you

Quick Tumblr Post On Caring For Monsters

Tumblr's always reliable for keeping all the bases covered. This time we get the rundown on the proper ways to go about caring for monsters. It is essential to provide that Sphinx with enrichment by answering its riddles. And who would've known that giant spiders are actually very social creatures, and should not be housed alone? For some more gold from Tumblr check out this professor's crazy beach tale.

1.

Text - headspace-hotel Follow Common misconceptions surrounding the care of monsters Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT normal for a Cerberus's heads to fight with one another; this indicates anxiety or lack of proper enrichment. Giant spiders are actually very social creatures, and should not be housed alone. Provide your Sphinx with enrichment by answering its riddles. Though Sphinxes can be trained to attack those who answer incorrectly, they actually normally speak in riddles as a form of

Text - If you cannot provide brimstone and a large pool of lava for bathing, don't purchase a Hellhound! They are animals with very specific care needs and their health will suffer if they are not given the proper habitat. Likewise, most Hellhound kibble brands on the market do not meet the recommended daily requirement of damned souls for Hellhounds. Always check the labels! The practice of putting blinders over the eyes of Basilisks to make them less dangerous is cruel. Basilisks should not be

3.

Text - A labyrinth is NOT an appropriate habitat for a Minotaur!! Minotaurs need fresh grass and shade to lie down in to be happy. Also, a diet of only human flesh will cause malnutrition. Supplement your Minotaur's diet of kidnapped youths with a source of fiber, such as hay! Remember, that hatchling Roc is an adorable fluff ball now, but it will eventually become a fearsome elephant-sized bird of prey with a ravenous appetite and very demanding housing requirements. A pet should always be a we

Text - Some Manticores need to be fed live prey; others, however, will accept prey that has been frozen and thawed. It depends on the individual. Even smaller species of griffin need a lot of space. Domestic rock-griffins, though only the size of a cat, need room to fly and to build large nests. If you live in an apartment, it is better to adopt one of the smallest species, such as one of many types of song- griffins! Humming-griffins, however, though you may have seen cute videos on Instagram,

Tumblr Thread: The Value Of Cultural Sharing

People that proclaim outrage on the behalf of other people can get carried away sometimes. This particular case involves one Tumblr user getting fact checked real quick by a few more minds from the Tumblr community.

2.

Text - madmints: takesabeating: cheshireinthemiddle: ginzers: spoopy-roxxi: ginzers: spoopy-roxxi: ginzers: Teach children that this is not ok Teach children that there's nothing wrong with this I'm really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

3.

Text - I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isn't a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

4.

Text - I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you. A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect.

5.

Text - And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not "yellow face" they are not making fun of asians. In

Stupid Ways People Injured Themselves

Mom's In-Laws Secretly Push Religion On Her Kids

This mom asked the folks of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for cutting off some family after realizing that her in-laws were secretly pushing religion on her kids. I mean, that is not cool, not cool at all! Seems understandable enough.

1.

Text - AITA for banning my kids from my in-laws house because they keep forcing their religion on them? Not the A-hole I was born in Saudi Arabia. I escaped by convincing my parents I just wanted to visit family in Canada, and the moment I got the chance I sneaked out of my uncle's house and went straight to a women's shelter. They helped me apply for asylum. I am now a proud citizen of the Great White North, I even got a maple leaf tattoo the day after the paperwork was complete. I'll never for

His parents are first-generation Pakistani, and well, they don't like me very much. They blame me for my husband's atheism, even though he's told them several times he was an atheist before we met. The biggest point of contention is how differently they treat our kids. One incident in particular that a caused a pretty big fight was when my kids told me their grandpar

I investigated further, and realized my in-laws were blocking me from seeing these pictures. It felt like steam was coming out of my ears. understand to many Westerners it's just a piece of cloth, but to ex-Muslim women it's a symbol

They don't care about dress-up, they care about brainwashing my kids. My husband and I banned the kids from his parents house, and now his whole extended family is sending us nasty messages. It looks like we're going to have to find a

Text - QuickBobcat • 18h NTA! Ex-Muslim here. My parents are religious and I WOULD LOSE MY SHIT if they did that to my child. My father is already on my case about making sure I teach my unborn son all the things he (my father) wants him to learn. I'm glad they can't be here for his birth because l'm 100% sure they want to "azan" into his ears as is my culture's tradition and will try to get us to circumcise him (not happening). Keep your kids away from them unless you or your husband are there

Not only are they ignoring your wishes as parents, There is no way they aren't telling your kids not to tell you about the hijab, or you would know about it. On top of that, the whole family has to be helping to keep this a secret. If it were me, they would never see my kids again. Reply 55

Your son can be too because you teach him fairness and independence. He won't need a woman to have clean clothes. You made your boundaries very clear and if your IL can't keep them - well, you don't need that in your life. They even lie to you! In my country it would be highly illegal to post pictures of

Text - nom-d-pixel • 19h • Certified Proctologist [20] NTA. They violated your parental rights in an egregious way. This isn't letting them have ice cream for dessert or something else innocuous. They haven't just crossed a line, they completely obliterated it and then hid what they were doing from you. They have firmly established that you cannot trust them, and in doing so have sacrificed any right they have to access to your children. Reply 32 ...

Text - Zezo4 • 17h NTA, as a Muslim its so sad to hear when other Muslims after knowing someone's left the religion and their family or friends harass them about it or make them feel uncomfortable (like how your SIL) did it's so wrong. At the end of the day we HAVE to (regardless of your families outlook and unjustness) respect the path you've chosen and your beliefs now, they have no right to enforce it or try play it off as dress up, I hope you and your husband are able to find a new babysitte

Text - Americanmomofmany • 19h NTA. Parent's boundaries must be respected. The fact that this is regarding a deeply personal issue that you have discussed beforehand with them makes their violation worse. Be open to giving them another chance only after they have committed to all of your rules completely and earned your trust again. This is a common Grandma mistake, oftentimes about diet. If they want to be close to the grandchildren they must respect rules they don't agree with. Reply 13

Text - Green_Man_Group • 18h NTA. As another former Muslim turned Atheist, I completely agree with your stance on this. Your in-laws are clearly trying to indoctrinate your children. Moreover, the fact that they continue to blame you for your husband's Atheism shows that they do not respect you. You're doing right by your kids. Hope you continue to do so. As for the extended family, just block and delete. Reply ...

Text - The_Veteran_Raven • 17h NTA. Even ignoring all the religious context, the in-laws just can't follow 1 simple rule. You and your husband would be negligent parents to leave your children with anyone who couldn't follow a single simple rule. I understand to many Westerners it's just a piece of cloth... I chuckled at this bit, sorry. Believe me, as a loud and proud atheist, there are very few Westerners who see hijabs as anything but the oppression they are. Usually, the only ones who think

Farmer Sticks It To The Government

As someone in the comments pointed out; the only thing that's more freaking awesome than seeing someone stick it to an organization like the HOA, is seeing someone stick it to the dang government! This farmer handled their situation beautifully. Job well done.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/yoloswagernaut • 9h 1 This was a comment from another user on r/gifs. A city near me had a farmer holding out as the city expanded. The city wouldn't let him sell his land zoned commercial, since it was a farm. While completely surround by commercial development. The city wanted him to sell the land zoned for agriculture. Basically to let some dev bulldozer the fields and flip it for commercial space. Easily 10x. Settled into a stalemate.

Text - The area became more and more developed. Housing encroached of the back of the property. The farmer getting old and getting tired of this shit, not wanting to pass this fight on to his kids came up with a plan. The property had been used for soybean and farming corn to this point. Not really a burden to his neighbors. He applied for received proper licensing from the state for a hog confinement lot. In case you don't know that is where they keep tens of thousands of hogs before they are b

Text - He did. He had 400 hogs delivered to what at this point was one of the busiest roads in town. The locals nearly lynched the city council. In less than a week the city backtracked a nearly 20 year feud and let him sell his farm for the fair commercial rate as he had originally bargained for. 1.4k 38 Share
