instant karma is a great concept. however, when you see it in action in everyday life-type situations, it's awe-inspiring.

at the grocery today we were throwing our things into the back of the truck when we spotted these kids - who's mother was parked next to us and waiting for them - who'd just pushed two empty carts into another parking space and abandoned them there, free to hit someone's unattended vehicle and do who knows what damage. let me add here that the space they chose lacked about a foot being equidistant from their car as the cart return. and mom totally knew the score.

we witnessed this and commented on it freely and outwardly, of course hoping to be heard. "he's not seriously just leaving that there is he?" etc

as the car pulled away, mom decided to cut through parking spaces in lieu of actually driving all that long way to the end of the lane to get to the exit.

and then she hit the curb.

and got stuck.

apparently she did some considerable damage, because by the time we'd finished loading the truck and returned both our cart and theirs, her two lazy brats were still standing outside of the car trying to figure out how to get out of the predicament.

my heart fluttered.

i love seeing people get what's coming to them, and when the turn-around is that fast... wow! words just cannot describe...

Yes, I like to believe in instant karma.

Sometimes, I wish I had a superpower to cause pain (just slight pain, nothing severe) to people who are inconsiderate and disrespectful. I had a guy nearly run me over in a parking lot and I just stared at him really intensely, hoping that he would have heart palpitations or something.

Is that wrong?

not even a little bit.

i often fantasize about having a buzzer on my steering wheel that sends an electric shock to the driver in front of me that is contnuous until they learn to use their turn signal.
