30 Wild Moments People Witnessed Instant Karma

The traditional idea of karma is pretty slow-moving. Slow enough that sometimes the payoff comes in a later lifetime, which is cool in theory, but obviously not exciting for whoever’s alive today. When people talk about karma now, they’re looking for the other shoe to drop before anyone has to wait for reincarnation.

If that describes you, then you’re in luck. The following Redditors told stories about everyone’s favorite type of karmic retribution: instant. No patience or faith required, simply a violation followed almost immediately by payback. 

Keep reading for times the universe acted with the efficiency and cruelty of an incorporeal John Wick.

Skidmark666 7y ago This asshole cut into my lane, forcing me to brake hard the other week. I honked and he turned around in his car, while still driving, to flip me off. Не didn't see the car in front of him stopping at a red light and crashed into the car in front of him. I had a lot of fun telling the police what had happened.
Piano9717 . 7y ago | was at a touristy place at the top of a big cliff. People were hanging around at the top, just enjoying the view, and this one guy was eating a sandwich while staring at his phone. After he was done, he couldn't be bothered to find a trash can so he went to throw the sandwich wrappings off the cliff, but he got his hands confused and hurled his phone off the cliff instead.
thegreatestsnowman1 . 7y ago A person tried to shove past me in the hallway. Immediately after, a door opened up into the hallway and slammed him in the face.
Hash43 . 7y ago Pedestrian crossing the street. Everyone stops for him except one guy in the last lane blasts his horn and blows through the intersection nearly running the pedestrian over. There was an unmarked police car right behind him that immediately pulled him over.
Mrofcourse 7y ago Was walking down the street and a Porsche gunned it to make a left turn in front of me at the entrance of a gas station. Не missed hitting me by about a foot. Не cut it too close and hit the curb and tore his front bumper off.
to_the_tenth_power 7y ago Was working at a trampoline park which had two different dodge ball areas. One for kids 12 and under, another for 13 and up. Annoying little shit of a kid kept trying to sneak into the 13 and up game, running around, breaking rules, and basically being a pain. We couldn't really do much about it. Eventually I just let him sneak on and not a moment later he got smacked beautifully in the face with a rubber ball. Actually sent him flying back a couple feet. Не wasn't so keen to play after that.
packpeach a 7y ago A lifted pick up truck with one of those train horns was driving aggressively through morning work traffic and honking at people who got in his way. Не did it to an unmarked sheriff (or trooper...some kind of law enforcement) and promptly got his ass pulled over.
Beezy8d5 7y ago I just walked into a crowded bar with my friend back when we were in our early 20's. Make our way around the entrance handrails and bam this dude smashes his shoulder into mine knocking me back. Thinking it was just an accident caused by a crowded bar I start to recover and this dude throws his shoulder into me again. Before I can even begin to react to the second more aggressive hit, this monstrosity of a bouncer watching the whole things go down, picks the guy up and literally throws him out the exit doors.
 7y ago My older sister and I didn't get along well growing up. One day we were both on a city bus on our way home. As we approached our stop, I got up and moved toward the door. As it opened, my sister aggressively shoved past me to get off first. The second she stepped off she was nailed full on by seagull poop. This was over 50 years ago and it still makes me smile.
SteroidSandwich . 7y ago In highschool a guy cut in front of me and said out of my way! Не then proceeded to trip on the stairs
rickyroyale . 7y ago Dude I worked with(pizza delivery) hit my bumper and scratched in the parking lot. A customer called him out on it, he denied it and went on his delivery. On that delivery he was t- boned and his car was totaled. Had he come into the store to tell me and apologize, I would have forgiven it. Instead he had to pay 500 for a new bumper paint job annnnd lost his car.
iyaayas 7y ago Edited 7y ago Playing a beer league slow pitch softball game once. The backstop of this field was a big chain link fence half dome that extended out over home plate. The batter was mouthing off about how he was gonna hit middle on purpose (hit the ball back at our pitcher trying to injure him) because he was mad that out team was steam rolling his. Не proceeds to pop the first pitch straight up, the ball hits a metal pole on that half dome...comes straight back down and cracks him in the top on his
VelocityChamber 7y ago Edited 7y ago I got punched in the face by my cousin. I was 14 at the time and he was 8. Не yelled I am invincible! And held his fists up to assert dominance. And then he turned 180 into a wooden support post in our basement. Не sat down covering his face and starting crying and I was trying to maintain a concerned and worried look but it was just funny as hell.
Triangle_Graph 7y ago Overheard an Admin at work boasting that she could easily skew the numbers on the tills to make it appear as though so-and-so's the till was short. Now, I'm not a snitch, but I'm also not gonna let some kid get thrown under the bus cause of some bitch. The next day, I went to my boss to report it, but as I walk in, I see the Admin nearly in tears, claiming the boss 'stabbed her in the back.' I don't know what she got booted for, but everyone agrees she deserved it.
AForEffort13 . 7y ago A random guy was a total douche to me at a cafe. A few days later, I interviewed him for a job.
TheLightningCount1 7y ago In high school had a kid punch me for like no reason. I would have punched him back but the principal AND the resource officer had literally just walked around the corner and saw it. They walk up and ask the other kids. Did Thelightningcount1 provoke Bob here? Kids shook their heads. Did Thelightningcount1 strike Bob before just now? Kids shook their heads. Resource officer cuffed Bob and took him to the office. Не was a multiple offender and this was the last straw.
GeddyLeesThumb . 7y ago A barman smashing in the face of a well known local scrote who was verbally abusing a blind guy and his dog in a bar. Very sweet. To be fair the barman got in first as I think there were one or two others in the place planning the same thing.
kaalkoppie 7y ago Quite recently, we got our tests back in German. One of my classmates had studied only the night before, but got an 1,5/10. Classmate 2 (nerdy type, always starts studying 2 weeks in advance) just stood and laughed at him, until he got his test back. Не got a 1/10. He's still not over it
I am toasted . 7y ago One time I smiled at someone walking by, then | saw them smile at somebody, who then smiled at somebody else. It was like a happy karma train
In4678 7y ago I was driving from Chicago to Wisconsin one weekend. As soon as I got on the highway a car to my left decides he needs my lane this instant and pushes me out of my lane onto the shoulder. Не continues to zoom around and almost hit another 10 cars or so just to get right back where he started. (It was rush hour). We're all slowly going along the highway when I hear this BOOM. Turns out the asshole car busted a tire trying to drive along the shoulder of the road to pass another car.
 7y ago When I was a little kid, I went to the local hangout they specially build for kids and teenagers. I went to the skatepark. Some 12 y/o kid came up to me and immediately started calling me names and pushing me around (I was like 7, or something). Three older boys came running towards us and one of them slapped the bully right in his face. We don't bully small kids here!
LapsoApso 7y ago | passed a slow car on a back road who was going too slow. This lady then proceeded to ride my ass, all the way to my house, cuts me off at the last second which caused me to hit her. Called the cops all the while this crazy is in my face talking about beating me up. When the cop shows up he confirms there's no damage to her car. Не takes our licenses and when he hands mine back he tells me she has a warrant for her arrest. | waved at her as she
 . 7y ago My dad tried to fart on me, and he shit himself.
rimologie 7y ago A story I learned about recently. When I was still in architecture school, a professor gave his class an exercice. One student came up with a project with a lot of ramps for disabled people. The professor started laughing and asked her to remove them because no one will use them. A month After or so, he lost his leg.
SoreWristed . 7y ago Cyclist flipped me off because I wasn't sharing the road enough, despite the cycling lane to his right, and in doing so, rides into a pothole and bent his front wheel.
 7y ago So it's winter and everything is covered in snow. I'm going home from a friends place and | see my shoe lace is untied. I grab a nearby tree so | can maintain my balance while I put the shoe lace inside my shoe and immediately after grabbing a tree a shit ton of snow falls on my head. A woman that was walking behind me starts laughing at my and right after she walks by me she slipped on the ice and fell down. I had a good laugh of revenge.
tv lover 7y ago In high school, dick dude spanks a girls' ass and run with girl in hot pursuit. Friend of girl blocks doorway so dude jumps out a window. Unfortunately, dude underestimates his height and plunks his head into top frame of the window. Hard enough that dude crumples into the ground, in serious pain and unable to stand or see for a few minutes. Dudes' glasses are broken too. Even dudes' friends who he was trying to impress in the first place are now laughing at him. Dude learnt his lesson. I was dick dude.
sk8erguysk8er 7y ago I've posted this one before but the memory always makes me laugh. I was walking to the store with a friend when we were 13. We heard someone yelling at us and turned around to see some kid about 50 feet away. Не was yelling and calling us F*****S and every other homophobic word you know at that age. As we started to walk over to confront him he did a 180 and started running while turning. Well he spun around and ran face first into a tree and hit it hard enough that the kid fell
TheWayfaringDreamer 7y ago Happened to me. I was 16, a junior in high school. In my English class, I got into an argument with a classmate. It got pretty heated and I ended up saying, I hope you get into a car accident. Later that evening I was driving my aunt around and got into a car accident. With a parked car. That's karma.
vzsax de 7y ago Edited 7y ago I walked in the day of performance reviews at work, dressed quite a bit nicer than normal. Coworker, dressed like normal in T-shirt and jeans, says you don't need to dress up, they make those evaluations/decisions before the meeting. Guess who got a promotion and guess who didn't?
