From animal avengers to some particularly stinky come-upances,

here's a whole heap more times that Karma came for awful people. I have never really liked Chipotle. It's much too spicy for me, but sometimes it's not just the food that's fiery. Back in September 2023, Rosemary Hain rocked up to a Chipotle restaurant in Parma, Ohio looking for some grub. A member of staff named Emily Russell happily served her, but Hain wasn't so happy. For some reason she didn't like the way that her order had been prepared, eager to help her customer, Emily had the order remade, Hain still moaned, so Emily remade it again, but apparently it still wasn't good enough. What? Emily knew the order was fine, it was a standard serving of exactly what she'd asked for, but Hain lost it. She started screaming, shouting and

swearing at poor Emily, ah yes, the three S's, a Karen's greatest weapon. Emily tried her best to diffuse the situation, handing her a business card and giving her the opportunity to contact someone higher up in the company to complain. But this wasn't good enough for Hain, oh no, instead of being reasonable about the situation she picked up the bowl of hot food and slapped Emily right in the face with it. Jeez what a nut job! Luckily the whole ordeal was caught on camera and the cops quickly got to work looking for the fast food feed. It didn't take long before she was facing down a judge in court, Hain was given a choice. Three months in jail or one month in jail with two months of work in a fast food restaurant. She chose the latter and I can only hope she had a wonderful time dealing with lovely members of the public like herself. Some parents refuse to do any actual parenting, their precious little angels can do no wrong, and how dare you even imply they're not raising them right. You know just the kind of person I'm

talking about. Reddit user doctor, underscore strange love, G-A, used to work in a cell phone store where he met one in the wild. See, he was standing behind the counter serving a long line of customers. Only not all of them were waiting patiently. One of the women in the line had brought her gremlin of a child and he was running rampant. The kid was darting around the store, knocking things over and generally being a huge pain in the behind. Irritated strange love asked the child's mother to control him and warn that he could easily get himself hurt. Sounds reasonable, but not to super mom. He had to ask several times before she even acknowledged him, and when she finally did, she was furious. The mother immediately started loudly cursing and berating strange love, angrily demanding that he never tell her how to raise her own son again. But halfway through her tirade, a massive dog stopped her dead in her tracks. Her son had just run straight into a heavy, low hanging sign and knocked himself out cold.

Wow, don't worry, the kid turned out fine. But rather than relieved, the mom was still furious and threatened to sue the store. That is, until our hero pointed out that the whole thing had been recorded on CCTV. The boy running wild without a second glance from his negligent mother, strange love warning her, multiple times to no avail. Yeah, she soon clammed up and slinked away, never to return. And good riddance, please. If you have kids don't be like that douchebag, raise them right. Like by listening to these stories with me, go on, hit that follow button wherever you get your podcasts and feed your brains with a whole load of awesome real life tales like these. If you don't, you might get some karmic comeuppance of your own. People who try to hurt animals deserve everything they get. I mean, how could anybody even think of harming a sweet little doggo or catdo? Well, never fear, karma is here. Reddit user other act recalled a memory from their childhood ranch. See the family kept horses and so had a lunge whip for training them. Other acts a little brother

was messing around with the whip one day, dragging it around so the cats chased it. Nothing wrong with that, right? But he must have gotten bored of this because suddenly he started loudly cracking the whip right next to the little felines. Terrified, they scattered. Other act was rightfully mad and told their brother off he could easily have hurt the poor cats. But he just looked other act dead in the eye and murmured, I do what I want. Whoa, kid must have thought he was in a Clint Eastwood movie or something. Whatever he thought he was wrong. The next time he went to crack the whip, it snapped back and hit him smack bang in the doodos. Oof, other act was crying with laughter, their brother for very different reasons. Some people need to learn how to control their anger, otherwise there can be disgusting consequences. Back in 2016, a man called Cooper was checking into an airport hotel. Everything was going smoothly until a mega-caron stomped her way towards the desk. Uh oh, apparently there was a major problem. This caron only had a normal kettle in her room.

Oh, the humanity. She started to scream and shout at the girl serving Cooper, moaning that her room wasn't up to standard and that she'd been traveling all day. The poor girl looked like she was about to cry. Well, Cooper wasn't about to stand for that. He clapped back at the caron telling her everybody had been traveling and that she should get lost. Suddenly something inside the caron snapped, a raging storm brewed within her, something powerful, almost otherworldly. She slammed her fist on the desk and demanded to see the manager. Wow, how unexpected. But you see, she'd got herself so worked up that she had a violent coughing fit. And that raging storm inside her? It wasn't just anger. She coughed so hard that right there in front of everybody she exploded from her rear end while wearing beige pants, red face, the embarrassed woman promptly shut up and slunk away. As for Cooper and the girl who'd been shouted at, it was all laughs after the terrible smell had faded, of course.

Unless I'm your hero, the people we look up to the most can turn out to be total disappointments. Reddit user Potato Sunday saw this firsthand. While at a show jumping event, they watched a little girl nervously approach one of the competitors. She was holding a book of famous horsewriters and wanted the jumper to sign it for her. But as she flicked through it, she couldn't find the page with him on it, so she politely asked if he could help her. His response? Find it yourself. And with that, he stormed off leaving the little girl visibly upset. Fast forward a little and jerkwad jumper had unfortunately made it to the finals of the competition, with a whopping $100,000 up for grabs. Just as his horse approached its first jump however, something completely unexpected happened. It abruptly stopped mid-Galap, throwing the shock-jockey through the air and flat on his face. Despite being embarrassed and incredibly annoyed, the fellow was physically fine. But missing out on that 100 grand would have heard a lot more than any bruise. Being obnoxious, bratty and mean is

never a good thing, but usually their traits reserved for kids who don't know better, usually, but not always. When Redditor Boxdoop was just seven years old, he played Little League Soccer. It was a lighthearted hobby that none of the kids took too seriously. But the parents, well, one of them proved she had the emotional maturity of a goldfish. Indeed, the snooty soccer mom would constantly make rude remarks whenever Boxdoopie was benched in games. Things like how about putting in some effort next time? Or that's what happens when you don't watch the ball. Bear in mind this is a woman in her 40s talking to a seven-year-old that wasn't even her kid. What's more, she spoke just quietly enough that only Boxdoop could hear her. It sucked, but he never said anything out of fear he'd be called a whoos. Well, one day Boxd had been benched and was quietly watching the game from the sidelines. As usual, you know who had had something skating to say about this. But then suddenly a rogue kick sent the ball flying off towards the stands.

Everyone's eyes followed it as it soared through the air until with a mighty thud, it slammed. Bam! Straight into the rude soccer mom's face. Crikey. Too lost teeth later and she never turned up to another soccer game again. I guess you could say that's what happens when you don't watch the ball. Thieves. Some of them are undeniable geniuses. Others however are complete and utter doofuses. One night in September 2023, a tractor showroom in India caught the latter on its CCTV cameras. He'd snuck into the lot and attempted to make off with one of the tractors. And at first it looked like he was going to be successful. The villain managed to get the vehicle moving, but he wasn't prepared for just how fast it would go. Yep! The bumbling bad guy ended up getting his feet caught under one of the rear wheels and was completely run over as the tractor rolled forward. Ouch! That had to hurt. Somehow he picked himself up, limped to the vehicle

and drove it away. But he didn't get very far. The tractor was found a few days later, just a short walk from the showroom. As for the man himself, unfortunately he was never caught. But hey, at least he got a bruise spine to match that bruised ego. Prepare yourself for a carmectail with more twists and turns than an ordinary rattlesnake. When Reddit user Raightney was nine years old, her parents decided to take her and her sister on a trip to Disney World. Sorry. So the family grabbed themselves a rental car and headed down to the sunshine state Florida. They even got takeout for breakfast, so it was basically the best day ever. Not that they ate it all, they were way too excited. When they arrived, they left their half-eaten breake behind and left out of the car, ready to explore the park. And for the next ten days they had the greatest time of their lives. I'm not jealous, you're jealous. Anyway, when it was all over they returned to the rental car and were shocked swiftly back to reality. Ants, on a scale you've never seen before,

they were crawling everywhere. All over the seats out of the air vents, up the windows, it was awful. But most of all piles upon piles of them were writhing around on what remained of the kids 10 day old pancakes. Ah, so that was the reason. Now the car needed to be returned to the lot that very day, but they only had a crummy portable vacuum to try and get rid of them with. 20 minutes of desperate vacuuming later, and though the piles of insects had diminished, there was still a horrific amount scuttling around. There was no choice. The family squeamishly jumped in the car, dashed to the rental place and prepared to grovel. When dad stepped inside however, there was a woman screeching at the employee behind the desk. Apparently she really needed a mid-size car and it was out of order that the lot didn't have one. The torrent of verbal abuse got nastier and nastier until suddenly dad realized that the car he'd been using would be perfect for her. So he held up his keys.

The woman's eyes lit up and practically salivating she demanded he hand them over. The employee tried to point out that it might need a clean first but the she-beast wasn't having it. Apparently she didn't care if it was clean. And just like that, she snatched the keys, ran to the car and took off. Well, something tells me she did end up caring when. When she realized her precious mid-size car was absolutely infested with hungry ants. I like to think she was carried off back to their nest.

Don't mess with monkey, monkey strong, monkey fast. Something one little brat found out all too well. Over in Bali, Indonesia, there's a magical place called Ubud Monkey Forest, a sanctuary housing over 1,260 long-tailed macaques. Redditor Tardegraids was visiting for the day, watching the majestic creatures respectfully with other tourists. Only not everyone was showing such reverence. One irritating little boy started poking one of them with a stick, clearly enjoying terrorizing the poor monkey. And for a short time, it looked like the macaque was going to let it happen. Then the little brat gave up particularly vicious prod and it was immediately obvious he'd gone too far. In the blink of an eye, curious George became cont anchoress George and snapped. The macaque leapt at the kid who spanned round in a panic and tried to escape, but he didn't get far.

The monkey grabbed his pants and with a tremendous tug pulled them straight down around his ankles, with a satisfying smack. The kid hit the deck as everybody watched and smirked. Monkey strong, monkey fast, monkey will show off your ass. Urinals are awkward at the best of times, but aptly named Reddit user always bring a towel recall the story from his school days that puts my awkward encounters to shame. Towel was stood at the urinal taking a whiz by another kid when suddenly he saw something out of his peripheral vision, an older boy that was a known bully had crept into the bathroom behind them and was reaching into the other kid's pocket. Um, what? Towel realized he was pulling out his wallet. Well, this turned out to be a big mistake. Just as the bully thought he'd got away with it, the kid felt something and reflexively whipped round to see what was going on, except he didn't stop peeing. Towel watched on and transfixed amusement as the kid's golden stream

was propelled slop bang into the bully's horrified face. Coffing and spluttering, the older kid dropped the wallet and ran away in abject humiliation, I guess now we know why our guy's Reddit user name is always bring a towel. So we've had a Karma Rific P related tale about kids, how about an even more Karma Rific P related tale involving adults? I know, only the most highbrow content on my show. Party goer Kira Johnson was at a nightclub in Barcelona with some friends back in July, 2017. The group had booked a VIP table and were sat chatting with a few drinks. Nothing could spoil the evening, right? Well, suddenly an absolutely wasted girl stumbled from out of the crowd towards their table, picked up an empty cup and turned away from them with it. Turning away wasn't enough to hide what she was so clearly doing though. In horror, Kira and her friends watched as the girl began peeing straight into it, right there in the middle of the club. Ugh, to make matters worse

when she finally finished, she leaned over and placed the now urine-filled cup on Kira's VIP table, right next to some other drinks, and began to stumble away again. Um, what? But one of her friends wasn't having it. In a dash of divine inspiration, he picked up the pee cup, aimed just right and threw it all over the drunk girl's back. Wow, most incredibly evolved the girl was so out of it she didn't even react to having her own warm pee thrown all over her. Man, alcohol really does turn people into cavemen, huh? I've loved Lama's ever since watching the Emperor's new group, so I'm immediately sus of anyone who doesn't. Well, American zookeeper Catherine met just such a person. See, Catherine was near the Lama enclosure when she saw a horrid woman stop up to one of the Lama's, point at it and make fun of how ugly it was. Now this Lama had actually been rescued from a terrible situation and undergone corrective jaw surgery, so naturally it looked a little different to the others. The rude lady took one look at the recovering animal however,

and thought it was hilarious. Charming, Catherine was livin' how dare she make fun of her furry friend. Before she could intervene though, the rescue Lama took vengeance into its own hands, by spitting directly into the laughing ladies open mouth. While the horrible woman gagged and flailed in horror, Catherine quietly gave her Lama a treat and told her that she was a good girl. I salute you rescue Lama. Our next tale of Karmic come up and comes from the sunny streets of England. Reddit user JC Grimshaw lived on a street that just had some new speed bumps installed to deter joy-writers. Problem is, they didn't work, whoever the culprits were, they were only encouraged to joy-ride more because, well, they were idiots. Sure enough, Grimshaw came home from school one day to find one of them zipping around dangerously on a dirt bike. Then the Hooligan started speeding towards an oncoming car, clearly trying to intimidate the driver. Only he hit the throttle too hard and wound up mounting the car's hood, launching into the sky and landing with

a crash on the windscreen. Cheese! Panicked, the shamed biker tried to run away but fell straight on his ass. He must have broken something. Oh, Karmah, you slide dog you, but that wasn't all. You might be wondering about the driver of the car. Don't worry, he was fine. In fact, in a wild twist, he was an undercover cop. Damn. So hysterically, the Hooligan found himself nearly instantly locked in cuffs and taken away. Ha, a double dose of Karmic medicine. I love the Rainforest Cafe. If you've never been to one their restaurants themed like you guessed it, a Rainforest. You've got plants, animatronic gorillas, and in Galveston, Texas, even a river raft ride. Redditor Mike Zores worked there, operating said ride, when one fateful day, a family of five rather large people approached. Mike Zores politely explained that they could have a go, but there was a strict weight limit on the

ride, so they'd need to separate into different groups. Well, they weren't happy about that. One particularly big woman took extreme offense and accused Mike Zores of calling her fat. She started berating the operator and her colleagues, demanding that the group be allowed to ride together. So sick of the abuse, Mike Zores relented. If they wanted to ride together, let them have added. The family smuggly clambered into the raft and the ride began. Right away, some water poured in, but they were still floating. For now. As Mike Zores watched the group on the security cameras, however, she noticed with satisfaction that they were slowly but surely sinking. Who would have guessed? And it wasn't long before they noticed, too? Our hero watched on as the raft sunk lower and lower until suddenly there was a splash. Water came pouring in like a tsunami. The whole family started screaming as the vessel took a nose dive and they were plunged into the cold river below. Mike Zores finally stopped the ride and went over to check on them. Well, it's safe

to say they weren't mowding off anymore. The soaking wet humiliated riders had to be helped out of the water and were forced to do the walk of shame past an amused queue of customers. Well, they were warned. I've worked in retail. Trust me, it destroys your faith and humanity. Take this tale from Reddit user OutaSpec. While he was working at a home improvement store, two obnoxious fellas walked in and demanded a tool that he'd never heard of. Now, Spec was a department head in this store, so if he'd never heard of it, it probably didn't exist. But on the off-chance, he googled it anyway. Sure enough, his suspicions were confirmed, it wasn't real. So, Spec politely delivered the bad news. Now, what do you reckon the response was? A normal person would either describe what they were looking for in more detail or thank the server and leave. Well, not these knuckleheads. Instead, one of them snapped. See, I told you these idiots don't know what they're doing. But Spec wasn't going to just stand there

and take it. He simply smiled and glanced at his computer. Then he told them that, actually, they were in luck. Another store, two cities over, had one right now that they could go and pick up, but they'd have to be fast about it. So, the two jerks hurriedly ran off. An hour and a half later, the store phone started ringing. Spec grabbed the receiver and, sure enough, it was the two bozos again. Immediately, they started spitting vitriol about how they'd traveled all the way to the second store, only to find out the tool they were promised wasn't there. Then, they gave a description of Spec without realizing they were talking to him, of course. Spec promised that the department head would thoroughly reprimand the employee. Then he hung up, smiled, and took a long lunch. The only tools they'd ever see would be the ones in the mirror. Reddit user Velvet Seahorse used to work in the ER of a hospital. One evening, an injured woman was brought in after a stranger attacked her in the street. The scumbag had jumped the woman and tried to drag her off, but was thankfully chased away by a good Samaritan who'd called the authorities. Who? That could have been

a lot worse, and it would be for the scumbag. Around 20 minutes later, someone else was brought into the ER in full cardiac arrest, and he guesses who? Yeah, the guy who just jumped the woman. Turns out the cops had quickly tracked him down and given chase, but it seems he should have done more cardio. Having to sprint several blocks for his freedom had caused his heart to give out. In the most extreme case of God what he deserved we've seen yet, the creep passed away almost as soon as he was dragged into the ER. Boohoo! Let me play a sad song on the world's smallest violin, and on that final tale of Carmich balance, I've just about had my fill. At least for now! If you have any stories of Karma's sweet sting, let me know in the comments if the platform allows it. Who knows, you could make it into the next episode. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you later. She's got a breakaway! She's all alone. She's going! She's going!
