How many times in your life have you seen someone get ahead by cheating, lying, or just being completely rude? We don't like wishing bad things on people, but wouldn't it be nice if there was some sort of cosmic justice that would help them see the error of their ways? In the spirit of finding a satisfying conclusion, we went out and found the best stories in which people got what they deserved after doing something that was inexcusable. Get ready to believe in the world again as you see the ways in which karma can come around to bite people who deserve it.
1. Doggo Travels More Than 60 Miles (100 Km) To Bite Its Owner After Being Abandoned
One heartless owner abandoned his dog. So, the doggo traveled over 60 miles to bite its owner. It's amazing this dog was able to navigate himself back to his owner, only to give him what he deserved for leaving him behind!
To the dog, we have to say that you are a good boy who didn’t deserve him! And that dumb owner deserved to be bitten.
2. 24-Year-Old Burglar Beaten By Elderly Retired Boxer
This guy messed up big time when he decided to break into the home of a 73-year-old man who happens to be a boxer, a marine, and a hand-to-hand combat instructor.
We're pretty sure the 911 call was like, "Yeah, a guy broke into my home and threatened me with a knife... can you send an ambulance for him?"
3. A Homeless Man's One Decision Changed His Life
Here's a break from some of the bad karma so we can give you a story about good karma.
The homeless man had no idea that his decision to give £3 to a student would change his whole life. She needed that money to pay for the metro so she could get home late one night. As a result, this student and her friends got together and raised over £21,000 for him.
4. A Man Messed With The Wrong Guy For The Parking Space
The interviewer was waiting for the parking space when a man took it and told him to F off. Well, he then arrived for his interview with the same guy. Someone probably just walked themselves out of the interview because of their mistake.
His expression would be worth capturing. There are times when you are desperate (he probably wanted to be on time), but that's no reason to be a jerk to others.
5. Stray Dog Kicked By Cruel Driver Returns And Destroys His Car
“Karma is a b*tch.” That's not what we're saying; it is what a stray dog said when he destroyed the car of a driver who kicked him.
The stray dog came back with a few of his friends to destroy the car. That’s 2 points for the doggo and 0 points for the jerk who thought it would be fun to kick a pup.
6. A Woman's Bike Was Stolen, She ‘Steals’ It Back
Someone stole this woman's bike and, as sometimes happens, she saw it on sale on Craigslist. After messaging the seller and agreeing to meet him at the local McDonald's she confirmed that it was 100% her bike. Rather than just flat out accusing this guy, she asked, "Hey would it be okay if I gave the bike a test ride?" His response, "Yeah, just don't ride off." Well, guess what happened next?
She STOLE her bike back! Technically speaking, it is not theft if it is your bike. That guy has the IQ of a grape.
7. Big Game Hunter Crushed To Death By Shot Elephant
Theunis Botha was leading a group of hunters in western Zimbabwe when an elephant picked him up with her trunk. One of his fellow hunters then fired a shot at her. She fell and crushed Mr. Botha. Just so you know, Cecil the Lion was also shot dead in the same park by an American hunter in 2015.
There's no denying that trophy hunting can have adverse and long-lasting effects. It is cruel, unethical, harmful, and unsustainable. So people felt that a big game hunter got what he deserved. The hunter didn't stand a chance against the mighty animal who didn't stand a chance against the hunter's gun.
8. No Charges for Texas Father After Killing A Man for Raping His Daughter
When the father found the man who raped his 5-year-old daughter, he didn't hold back in beating him to death. It is perfect justice.
The good news is that the father faced no charges in Texas. We don't know what others think, but in our minds, justice was served that day.
9. Texas Man Shoots Armadillo, Bullet Ricochets Back And Hits Him in Jaw
When a guy wanted to shoot an armadillo, he didn't consider the fact that armadillos have a hard shell and a tough tissue coating.
Well, he shot the animal and the bullet ricochets off it and hits that guy in the face. It is fair to say it was a KarmaDillo.
10. Christian Leader Who Says God Sends Natural Disasters To Punish Gay People Gets His House Destroyed By Flood
A Christian leader, Tony Perkins, who says God sends natural disasters to punish gays, got his home destroyed by Louisiana floods.
Some people will find it ironic and hilarious. Some may say that his secret is out. What do you think about it?
11. Lions Fatally Maul Rhino Poachers
Lions went full-on crazy on poachers who broke into the reserve to hunt rhinos. That's so sad and we are concerned about the health of... lions and rhinos. The three hunters were torn to shreds by a pride of hungry lions.
As the authorities found three pairs of empty shoes, they suspect that there could be more fatalities. The poachers got a reminder from the universe that they aren't the real kings of the jungle.
12. Idiots Tried to Steal Fuel, Ended Up Sucking On The Sewage Tank
Believe it or not, some idiots tried to siphon fuel and ended up sucking up poop from the sewage tank. So, you can say that justice can sometimes be disgusting.
This is what happens when something sucks and stinks at the same time. Karma can be nasty and all we have to say to those men is that "sh*t happens."
13. Kid Refused To Move His Legs, So A Guy Just Sat On Them
When a kid refused to move his legs for 3 adults, one guy came in without a care in the world and just sat on the kid's legs.
The kid’s reaction is priceless. We hope the kid learned a valuable lesson that day, but we highly doubt it.
14. America’s Dumbest Criminal Who Takes Less and Gives More
This is super hilarious. A man walked into a Louisiana Cirkle-K, placed a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the register, the man pulled a gun and demanded all the cash she had. The clerk quickly gave all the money and the man left, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. Well, the total amount in the register was $15.
We're pretty sure the clerk didn't report the crime because she actually got an extra $5. It is safe to assume that the man was just one aggressive tipper. He must be one of America's Dumbest Criminals.
15. Lawyer Who Slapped Woman Police Officer, Was Later Presented in Court By The Same Officer
In Pakistan, a lawyer slapped a female police office just because he thought he had the right to do it. Well, he was arrested and presented to the Court by the same woman he slapped.
The lawyer slapped her because she asked him not to park his car outside the gate of Ferozewala court. We absolutely love how now she’s the one holding his chain.
16. A Guy Acted Like a Jerk To A Police Officer In An Unmarked Vehicle
When a guy started acting like a jerk and cursing and insulting a woman in an unmarked car he had no idea that she was about to ruin his whole day. We can imagine his surprise when she hit the lights.
Most of you will admit that it is so amazing to see when a bad driver is caught out. This is a special kind of karma.
17. Man Hurled Racist Slurs, Punched FedEx Driver - Then Died After He Was Hit Back
This is an instant karma example for you. A man hurled racist slurs and a punch at a FedEx driver. When the driver retaliated and punched back, that man died.
We're not condoning violence, and if you're going to start a fight you better understand that you're putting your life at risk. Someone should have told this guy that before the FedEx driver knocked him out for good. Since it was in defense, the driver wasn't charged with a crime.
18. Man Teaches A Kid How To Be Respectful To Parents By Buying Every Last Chocolate Bar For Himself
So this guy was at a dollar store when he noticed a kid throwing a fit over some "larger" candy bars and even called his mother "bi***" because she wouldn't get him those particular chocolate bars. He really wanted the mom to slap some sense into her kid, but instead of slapping him like the guy expected, she actually apologized and promised him she'd buy him the candy!
The guy went on to spend $24 on candy bars for himself and walked out of the door, leaving the kid speechless. He described it as, “the best $24 I ever spent.”
19. Driver Attempts To Destroy Giant Snowman, Not Realizing It Was Built Over Tree Stump
Do you like destroying snowmen? Well, fear the day when snowmen strike back. Take an example of one driver who tried to destroy a giant nine-foot-tall snowman, not realizing it was built over a large tree trunk.
The driver was stumped as to how that happened. We are sure he wouldn’t have seen that coming from a Treelion miles.
20. When Five Gangs United To Teach A Homophobe A Lesson
This person's dad grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood; lots of gangs, lots of violence, and not a lot of resources for school. There was one kid, who happened to be openly gay, who took it upon himself to tutor everyone for free - including the members of 5 different gangs - for free!
One day a homophobe insulted him. As a result, five gangs went to beat that person. There's something about that that just makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
21. Texas Teacher Fired After Asking Trump To Deport Her Students
A racist teacher actually tried to contact Donald Trump to have her students deported. Georgia Clark, a Fort Worth teacher, was fired after sending a series of tweets to Trump.
Can you imagine the hate she was teaching her students for so long? Unfortunately, she won her appeal to get her job back.
22. Mayor of Coquitlam Has A Message For All The Litterbugs In His Town
When Coquitlam’s Mayor Richard Stewart noticed that the white Acura RDX driver threw their Taco bell drive-thru garbage out of the window onto Lougheed Highway at Chilko, he decided to teach them a lesson. He made it clear that he will drop off the garbage and driver's full license plate number with Bylaw Enforcement.
He left the driver with two choices: 1) Pick up the garbage 2) Wait and law enforcement will deliver it to their home address along with some unpleasant "paperwork."
23. Man Throws Brick At Car's Window, It Bounces Back And Hits Him
We have seen examples of people fighting back, but it is not common to see a nonliving object fight back. An alleged thief threw a brick at the car's window and it bounced back to hit him in the face.
As much as we know, the window wasn't bulletproof or anything. Most of us wouldn't be able to stop laughing if we see something like that in person.
24. Creep Sends Transgender Woman A Picture of His Penis, She Responded With Image of Her Own Genitals
Some weirdo sent a picture of his 'package' to a beautiful transgender woman named Faye Kinley. The 20-year-old was disgusted upon receiving the message. Instead of just ignoring it, she silenced that person by sending a picture of her 'package.' It worked like a charm.
This made us laugh so hard. It was a perfect reply. Kudos to her and we’re pretty sure many transgender women would approve of her response.
25. People Made Fun Of This Kid For Playing Video Games - He Ended Up Winning $900,000 Playing Fortnite
Some people are so narrow-minded and jealous that they can't see others' happiness. Take the example of Dwight Kingsford.
We have news for you bullies out there who want to make fun of video game nerds; times have changed! And those nerds usually grow up to get rich and run companies.
26. Owners of a Website Extorted People to Take Down Their Pictures - Ended Up With Their Own Photos
So the owners of Mugshot.com used to put people's mugshots online and then demanded money from the arrested people to take them down.
Well, they were arrested and these are the mugshots of the founders. The founders allegedly took over $2.4 million in fees from at least 5,700 people nationwide.
27. Cop Tried To Shoot A Dog For Barking But Accidentally Shoots Himself
Here is an example of instant karma. The cop tried to shoot a dog for barking, but he accidentally shot himself instead.
A dog was just barking (that's what dogs do) and he actually thought it was a good idea to murder the innocent animal, wow! That's one hospital visit we hope he never forgets!
28. When The Hit And Run Driver Forgot Something Really Important
The hit and run driver thought he/she narrowly escaped from the situation. But this is what happens when your car wants to snitch on you.
The hit and run driver lost their license against the car they smashed. We don't think you need a squadron of detectives to solve this case.
29. When Someone Tweeted That People Are Addicted To Their Phones, Someone Commented With A Reality Check
So someone wanted to show the sad reality of our world and another person was like, "hold my beer." It was a mathematical burn!! They should apply Aloe Vera exponentially.
However, we should consider the possibility that the first person wrote “our world,” so maybe they were being self-critical.
30. An Anti-Gay Hungarian Politician Resigned After Being Caught Fleeing A 25-Man Orgy
An anti-gay Hungarian politician, Jozsef Szajer, is a senior member of Hungary's ruling party, which has been hostile to LGBT rights. Well, he had to resign after being caught by the police fleeing a 25-man orgy. He was escaping through a window.
We're not making it up. This all happened during Corona lockdown. So, it was self-hate all along?
31. West Virginia Lawmaker Legalized Raw Milk - Fell Ill After Drinking Raw Milk
Here is an example of how politicians get a taste of their own legislation. In 2016, State representative Scott Cadle brought in some raw milk to celebrate the legalization of allowing the sale of raw milk.
Little did they know, as he handed out samples to other representatives, that it would make them severely sick to their stomachs - how ironic!
32. Ex-Chipotle Manager Fired for Stealing $626, Won $8 Million In A Wrongful Termination Suit
Revenge is a dish best served cold. That's what Chipotle’s ex-manager thought after she was fired for stealing $626. She later won an $8 million lawsuit after it turned out they framed her as revenge for filing workman's comp for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Jokes on the company as they didn't want to pay her $600, only to end up paying her $8 million.
33. A Guy Got Rear-Ended And Found Wrongdoer’s License Plate Imprinted On His Car
When this person got rear-ended, they thought the driver might pull over. But he took off thinking that he might get away with it. Little did he know, his license plate got imprinted on the car.
That's sweet karma right there. As cars just won't stop snitching on their owners, it is best to drive responsibly and accept the mistake with dignity.
34. A Guy Had 17,700 Bottles Of Hand Sanitizers But Nowhere To Sell Them
This is one of those examples of karma that may put a smile on your face – look at this guy who had 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer but couldn’t sell them. The Tennessee man had planned to sell his stockpile at marked-up prices; he had big plans of capitalizing off the pandemic. But Amazon and eBay had other plans.
After both sites gave this man a lifetime ban, the Tennessee Attorney General's Office opened a price-gouging investigation, and he ended up donating all the supplies.
35. When Mother Nature Hits Back

36. Man Complains About Seeing Obscene and Vulgar Ads, Gets Reminded The Ads Are Based On His Own Computer History
This guy had a big PROBLEM with seeing obscene and vulgar ads on the IRCTC ticket booking app. It was irritating and embarrassing for him. So, he tweeted to IRCTC's official account. Well, Indian Railways Seva stepped in and clarified that ads use cookies to target the user, which means the ads are based on user history and browsing behavior. They even recommended cleaning and deleting browser cookies to avoid such ads.
He got busted in front of the world's second-biggest population. So you can say that this man got his hand caught in the 'cookie' jar (wink-wink).
37. A Narcissistic Racist Receives A Harsh Reality Check
This guy wanted to get some attention. He decided to do that in the stupidest way possible, by making a racist post saying that all dark-skinned women were ugly.

38. Man Who Helped Draft Laws Ordering Adulterers To Be Whipped Gets Caught Having An Affair...
An Indonesian man who helped draft laws ordering adulterers to be flogged got whipped after getting caught having an affair. He worked for an organization that helped draft strict religious laws. But when he was caught having an affair with a married woman, a masked religious officer rained down 28 lashes on the man.
He who digs a pit for others falls in himself. It is becoming more and more apparent that lawmakers think that their laws don't apply to them.
39. A Man Blocks An Electric Charging Station, Gets Towed
So this person blocked an electric charging station and got towed. One wonders if he was able to afFORD the ticket.

Congratulations lady, you just played yourself. You are not a clown; lady, you are the entire circus.
And hey, let's take a minute to appreciate the instant-ness of this 'instant karma.' This is karma at the speed of light, which is pretty freaking amazing.
41. Putting Out Fire A Is Important Than Your Car's Window
When firefighters had to put out the fire, they had no option but to smash the window of an illegally parked vehicle on the street. The owner shouldn't complain in such a situation because pipes don't bend easily when water is flowing.
Another way to describe it would be: "Firefighters LOVED To smash the window of an illegally parked vehicle on the street because this jerk-behavior could cost lives."
42. Women Announce Their Plans Of Doing ‘A Lil Coke’ And Got Caught By The Police
When you announce your future plans (illegal ones), you better be ready to face the consequences.
Imagine robbers announcing their plans of robbing a bank on social media and then complaining about getting arrested.
43. Matt Gaetz Wore A Gas Mask Into Congress To Mock The "Fake" Coronavirus And Later Quarantined Himself
U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz has previously joked about COVID-19. He even wore a gas mask into congress to mock the "fake" coronavirus, only to then get exposed to the actual coronavirus. As he received criticism, he claimed it was a sincere precautionary measure.
Is it okay to believe that he got coronavirus from the mask itself? He made a joke of himself that day.

Troy Leon Gregg was convicted of murdering Fred Edward Simmons and Bob Durwood Moore. He was on death row in Georgia when he escaped the night before the execution. He was killed in a bar fight that very same night.

45. Girl Tries to Pour Acid On Ex's Face But Wind Blows It Onto Hers
A very jilted girlfriend tried to carry out an acid attack on her former lover. She was riding on the back of his motorcycle when she tried to pour acid on his face. Although he was injured, most of the acid was blown back onto her own face.
What was her plan? To burn him and then crash the motorcycle? We have no sympathy for her whatsoever.
46. Florida College Students Test Positive for Coronavirus After Spring Break Trip
These college students were tested positive for coronavirus after their spring break trip. It seems like they thought drinking too much and dancing might make the virus drunk as well.
We are more concerned about the innocent people and family that came into contact with them. People like these students are part of the reason why there are still cases of coronavirus coming in 2021.
47. Guy Parks On Stripes To Avoid Freezing Rain, Happens To Be Under A Leaky Pipe
So this guy parked on stripes to avoid freezing rain, but it happened to be under a leaky pipe.
He just wanted to get out of the rain and didn't really obstruct any free passage. Now he just needs to embrace it and enjoy the ice skating time.
48. An Arrogant Girl Gets A ‘Heavy’ Reality Check
As they say, if you can't handle the heat then stay out of the kitchen. Or in other words, don't say mean things about others if you can't handle them saying mean things about you.
After this girl made a post condescendingly saying how unattractive it is when a man's height has 5 as the first number, someone came back at her saying how unattractive it is when a girl's weight starts with 200. All we can say is take a breath you guys, nobody's perfect.
49. Homophobe Gets A Confusing Message
First of all, this person afk31337 thought that being gay is like a crime. He clearly has something against gay people.
Maybe he commented there to challenge karma. He should've learned by now that there is nothing wrong with being gay.
50. Taxi Driver Takes A Much Longer Route To Charge Extra, Gets Fined By The Police
The taxi driver wanted to get more money out of his passengers. So, he took a much longer route than what they agreed to. Once the passengers realized it, they told him to stop the car.
