30+ Stories Where Karma Served the Most Poetic Justice

Karma is the concept that the kindness — or nastiness — that you put out into the world will return to you. So, if you're nice, you'll get nice things. But, if you treat people poorly, don't expect as great of luck. These people all shared their stories of how they saw karma play out in front of them, and they had the chance to experience or see someone else get their comeuppance.

There are some things that are rarely acceptable. Unless you're being attacked and have no other choice, you're pretty much always the villain for kicking a dog on purpose.

That's definitely somewhere that you'd hope karma would swoop in and take care of things. In this case, it did. Well, helped along by one rightfully angry dog. We're going to say that the dog wins - and that guy definitely loses.

In this case, no one had to. It didn't take long until the universe stepped in to make things right. At the very least, this guy's engine decided it was over his behavior. We're going to guess that was a lot more inconvenient than two extra minutes in line.

Road rage when you're alone in your car happens sometimes. You might yell a swear word when you're cut off in traffic or let out a dramatic sigh when traffic grinds to a halt.

Then again, once you take that road rage out on someone else, the problem becomes a lot clearer. This guy was so busy getting ready to get mad at another driver for some reason that he forgot to make sure that he didn't lock himself out of his own car.

Watch the Road

It's hard to see kids who are rude get ahead, and high schoolers often know at least one school bully, no matter where they fall inside or outside of that person's wrath.

This move sounds like one from the kind of person that we can see why this person might avoid in class. While they were busy being cocky, though, they forgot to do the oh-so-important task of actually watching the road. So, natural consequences followed.
