I'm a commercial loan officer. Some real estate had been referred to me by a broker. He had called me demanding approval, and I told him it would likely go to our loan committee scheduled for the following day. Unknown to me, he called our headquarters and bullied the receptionist into pulling our bank's president out of a meeting so this random broker could demand our approval.
My favorite ever bank president told him, "If you must have an answer right now, then the answer is no.".

Back around 1990 a loan officer was basically approving one customer for any loan (used cars) When it all went south, they ended up repossessing 6 cars, A Cavalier with no sheet metal forward of the broken windshield, a 300Z which broke in half at the firewall while being unloaded from the rollback and I can't recall the other 4 equally useless cars. Each had been financed sight unseen as if they were in excellent condition. Loan officer didn't get canned but he was no longer allowed to approve any loans without a second officers approval.

I worked at the service desk at a Zayre store many years ago. The managers were usually lazy and spent most of their time in the coffee shop, ignoring pages for assistance. A customer was at the service desk demanding cash for an item she was returning after paying by check that day. In those days a customer had to wait 10 days to be certain the check cleared before they could have cash back for a return. She was having a holy fit demanding cash immediately. I paged the manager and for once he showed up. He told the customer to wait and she stood there smirking at me. He went to the office, found her check and handed it back to her. The look on her face was priceless!

Excellent. I once worked at a gas station and one day some clown came in and bought $2 worth of gas and paid with a $100 bill. My manager opened up the safe, pulled out a wrapped stack of singles, tore off the wrapper, took $2 and handed the guy 98 singles. I also once got paid for $1 worth with a ten that was folded to the size of a postage stamp. By the time I unfolded it and found a twenty inside they were way to far away to have given it back even if I wanted to.

I always get instant karma! One time, I was young, and I wanted to skip work and hang out with my friends all day. So I called in and told them that my car was towed and that I wouldn't be able to make it in. We were all excited to have the day off, until I went outside and saw that my car had actually been towed! I spent the day tracking it down and paying hundreds to get it out of impound. That's what I get. I've learned my lesson. Never lie, never brag, and never challenge the universe, it can always get worse.

Just today I was being an impatient jerk in the parking lot at CVS. Because someone took 5 tries to back their Tesla in to a spot and was blocking the aisle. After I waited for them to finish and was able to park myself (I didn't say anything, I just rolled my eyes and made some impatient gestures) I got out and started stomping my way in to the store.

Wife and I were custodians at the local school and had a Saturday cleanup after an event. We pulled off the state road onto the road to the school. My wife said "that guy's awful close behind us" as she slowed to turn into the school drive. He rear-ended us., and took off around us, not realizing the car behind HIM was a county cop. Cop took off after him and pulled him over and, as we watched, cuffed and stuffed him after seeing outstanding warrants. We knew the cop and chuckled with him when he came back to take our info for insurance.

Wife got rear ended in Illinois by someone who was speeding and had outstanding warrants. Illinois cop cited my wife even though the person who hit here was in the wrong. Why? Probably because we're out of state and he knew there was no way it would be contested and he knew if he cited the other driver, the courts wouldn't get a dime from it. Crooked cops everywhere. Then he called a tow company that charged 10X what they should have, probably thinking they'd just get to keep our vehicle. WRONG. Lost our a$$ though because insurance doesn't pay squat.

Being unnecessarily rude to employees should get you banned from the store. I was at our neighborhood supermarket one Thursday (important) and was behind this woman in the checkout line. She started yowling because a pack of bacon didn't ring at the "sale" price and she accused the cashier of ripping her off. Cashier shuts down her line and goes to check the price and all the while squawking about the cashier ripping her off. I mentioned to her that the cashier has no control over that and she can't do it intentionally. We quarreled over this until the cashier returned with the bacon that was on sale and heard me berating this woman. The bit©h finally leaves and I cash out with the 5% "student discount" (Thursday special) I guess because I stuck up for her. I hope the bit©h's eggs broke.

Our city installed speed cameras last year on the road in front of the high school. It's just a money racket. The school is not accessible from this road, no one crosses this road to get to the school. there is nothing but trees across from the school. But go through there at more than 25 and the person whose name is first on the registration get s a $100 fine. Not you? Tough, you still get the ding on your license. Prove it wasn't you all you want, you're still getting dinged. And the judge refuses to do anything about it. How do I know? My sons EX has gotten 3 tickets there, his insurance has gone through the roof because his name is first on HER registration and DMV refuses to either remove his name or put hers first. Welcome to Virginia, from rigged elections to corrupt politicians and judges to corrupt agencies...corruption at its finest.

In 7th grade gym, I messed up in volleyball causing my jerkwad classmate Paul to yell at me for not getting the ball, saying “this is why nobody likes you” At that moment from a few feet away and completely unrelated, a jokester classmate named John kicked a different volleyball and it smacked Paul right in the face as he was still yelling at me, knocking a tooth out of his mouth and he started bleeding.

I was on a short domestic flight the other week - I was near the back of the plane. As soon as we landed and the seat belt sign went off, a guy a few rows behind me sprinted up the aisle. He got to pretty much the middle of the plane before other people had stood up and blocked his path.
5 mins later, they announced the backdoor was opened as well and we could depart from the rear. The guy went from potentially being one of the first off the plane (being right at the back) to being the last off the plane. As I left the back of the plane I could just see his head swiveling back and forth.

However, when the plane is late, making connections tight, it's always the GalPal who takes every piece of personal luggage (usually two carry-ons and an extracted shopping bag) out of the overhead bin at the speed of molasses, puts on a coat, arranges the hair, checks phone messages, and generally blocks the aisle for the poor schmucks trying to make another flight so as not to be left in the airport for 24 hours.

Where I live, you better look both ways at any intersection or road crossing, even if it's one way traffic. Traffic lights? Far too many treat them as if they're just Christmas decorations. Especially if the driver is in a Vette or Cadillac. IF they even stop for a red, they won't wait for the green.

Gotta love it when tailgaters get their just desserts. After one ornery gal repeatedly hugged my rear end in the HOV (NO passing/exit until specifically allowed) lane. I tried to kindly get her off by tapping my brakes and/or slowing down, to no avail. Finally, I actually depressed my brake pedal and OH MY MY, did I get a reaction!! Of course I couldn't see into the lower recesses of her vehicle but it was pretty obvious that her morning coffee must've gone flying when she reacted. As she swung around me (illegally passing of course), hanging out her window and yelling obscenities, all I could do was smile and wave.

This was back when I worked 3rds. I was on my way to work, sitting at a traffic light waiting to turn left. Some teenagers pulled up beside me to go straight. Right when the light turned green, they got me in the right eye with a green laser pointer and sped off. I merged over and followed them (a very bad idea in hindsight). I wasn't going to chase them down or anything, I just wanted to spook them. I guess they were scared because they ran a red light and *instantly* got pulled over by the cops. I was a little shaken from seeing them run the light, but I was hooting and hollering when karma fell on them.

Some tourist in Uganda (a very poor country btw) was arguing with a ranger over some tax in a national park. Like a few dollars worth of tax. My group left him to argue and left with a different ranger to go see Some rhinos. We found a mother and calf eating grass and interacting sweetly with each other. We had about 20 solid minutes watching them. It as magical. Especially the little calf which was so bloody cute. By the time the angry guy showed up, the rhinos were done feeding and laid down in the grass. All you could see was the mother's ears sticking up and the calf was not visible at all. The ranger said they will probably stay like that for the next few hours before getting up to eat right before dusk. Sucks to be that guy.

One day, this boomer drives his official Grand Prix pace car to Walmart and takes up four parking spots so it would be safe from door dings. I waited till he and his wife go inside and then I put a note on his car that said I scratched his car to teach him a lesson. Because I was working the parking lot, I was there to see his reaction when he came out.

felt like a perfect benign hilarious universal justice.

Text typing does not look like your posts that's for sure. BTW you can criticise without being aggressively insulting. So much for your frequently boasted empathy which belies your sorry avatar.

You literally didn't use any of those in your run on sentence. "One comma, one period and using the space button instead of punctuation is considered bad grammar."

I was at this night club just down the street from where I lived at the time, and noticed this nerdy looking fella approach a woman and asked her to dance. She shot him down immediately, and by the looks of it she wasn't sugarcoating it either, so our nerd friend slinked away and parked at the bar instead.
A few minutes later the woman was dancing, and asked this blonde guy standing at the outskirts of the dance floor for a dance. He pointed to his friend, who was the nerdy guy from earlier, and while I couldn't hear them over the music she was apparently rude enough earlier to make the blonde guy tell her to get lost. So now it was her turn to slink away, and I was all like "Ooooh, karma!".

In reply to Debby Keir, what I gleaned was that it was the verbiage used, not the fact that she turned him down. You can indeed turn someone down, for anything, man or woman, but you don't need to be a pri©k about it.

It's a question of saying "No thank you." as opposed to insulting someone for asking.

One time, a guy at the coffee shop was trying to cut in line and totally ignoring everyone behind him. He’s smirking, acting like he’s above it all. Then just as he leaves the counter carrying his coffee, he slips on a little puddle and drops his coffee all over himself. In front of everyone he was trying to skip past.

Not me but my sister, she once saw this car with two people in it driving horribly, weaving in and out of traffic and apparently having a great time scaring people. The passenger throws a beer bottle out in front of the car. It shatters, they drive right over it and it flattens a tire. .

Right. Maybe if they had tires that were made in 1920 or were 20k miles past replacement time.
ZombieMommy 2 days ago
Do you honestly think people acting like that are going to have high dollar tires? Not to mention it depends on how big the shards are and how you hit them.

Was at an NFL game and afterwards this guy was talking smack to a random couple in the other team’s jerseys. He was walking forward and looking back talking - wham! Right into a metal stop sign and he goes down hard! Everyone had a good laugh at his expense.

If that'd been football, then it wouldn't have needed a stop sign for the same result....

When someone cuts me off and immediately gets cut off by someone else. It brings me pleasure.

My fav is people being in a giant hurry tailgating, back and forth in lanes, and cutting people off. They get around you and take off, only for you to pull up to the same light as them a minute later. Bonus if you end up far in front of them after the light because they got stuck in traffic again.

Had a BMW do this when I was a learner driver, unfortunately for him I wasn't a nervous learner. I dropped down to 10mph in single lane traffic in a residential zone (limit was 30mph) and stayed that way for 3 miles before I put my foot down and disappeared on to the parkway.

It gives me relief because both idiots are now in front of me and disappearing from view.

When someone is cutting people off as they weave from lane to lane to get ahead, and then you end up beside them later at a traffic light.

I was walking at night and saw a guy in a fancy car with his lights off. I tried to signal that his lights were off, he did the same signal back and flipped me off.
I saw him get pulled over 10 seconds later.
#36
There was a big traffic jam and the dude behind me was darting back and forth between lanes aggressively without a signal until finally pulling off to the shoulder and speeding past. I hear a crash and then inched by where he rear-ended another car with the same idea.

Maybe not best but first one I remember. As kids my friend spits gum out of the car window. We get to the destination, friend steps out of the car onto a piece of gum. Hot asphalt in the summer, that gum is hard to remove.

Me. I was boasting at a basketball game that my family never gets sick, and not 3 minutes later my 5 year old niece projectile vomits in my lap.

I was bragging the first night of summer camp that I never threw up, hadn't in years. That night during the welcome ceremony, I think a combination of eating too much at dinner and the heat got to me and I threw up behind a tree. I almost missed the camp's most fun activity because of it, one night a session they did "Mission Impossible." You never knew what night it would happen on, you'd be walking back to your cabin and the music would start and immediately everyone ran back to their cabin to dress in all black and we got to sneak around the camp in the dark, collecting clues for whatever mystery they did that year and afterwards we all got a special snack. They did it on the very first night that year, something they'd never done before, and when the music started I was still in the nurse's cabin. I begged them to let me go, that I was feeling better, and luckily they let me!

My ex one day he went to hit me during an argument. The moment he swung, he dislocated his shoulder, and I had to hold off from laughing.

Beating someone up during an argument settles who's right only if you are arguing over who can beat up who.

One kid got to the bus as the door was closing in the rain and the driver didn't open and let him on. So he ran to the next stop and beat the bus there and got on and we all cheered him and booed the bus driver. The kid got on and didn't pay just walked right on to applause and the bus driver didn't say a word.

Was working in an office with a group of twenty somethings who act like they are above everyone. Got to the elevator seconds behind them to see them desperately trying to use the close door button to keep me from joining them. Made me smile. Many years later I learned the door close button has no function and is only there to make people believe it works. Smart design in that one. Thanks!

Bus driver in Phoenix didn't want little old white-haired shuffling me to have the senior citizen discount (why, thank you, kind sir! I DO look youthful!) and asked loudly, "HOW OLD ARE YOU?" I said in my sugary sweet southern accent, "My gracious, young man, a lady never tells her age." Sat down to appreciative laughter.

Wife and I were walking around California Adventure. We had to step around an obstacle / person and in the process, apparently got in front of someone else.
Said someone else proceeded to make a minor huffing sound, step to the side, and charge forward. Love that he was in a hurry and staring down at his phone, because that distraction is what allowed him to plow straight into one of the light poles on Buena Vista Street with his forehead.
We had to restrain ourselves till we get out of earshot of this cat.

Years ago I was waiting for my coffee order in a cafe. I had my daughter with me - she was a toddler and still quite unsteady on her feet. A guy came in and pushed past everyone, including my daughter. She lost her balance and clutched his leg to avoid falling over and he shook her off. She had very chocolatey hands from a treat the barista had given her. He was wearing beige chinos. Some very unfortunate brown stains in very awkward places on the chinos. I said nothing.

One time as an older teen a buddy and me were walking across a parking lot in the winter and was a sheet of ice. We were both taunting each other about not falling down like a little baby - and then as if an unseen hand reached out we both slipped hard and fell on our butts like we were synchronized. We both had a good laugh about that.

When I first came out here to West Michigan from the e Detroit area the company put me up in a hotel until I found a place to live. The hotel was outside of the Grand Rapids area and I had to take the expressway to get there. One day it was snowing pretty heavily and the road surface was pretty well covered and traffic was moving at a crawl. A guy driving a POS pick up came down the entrance ramp (in a hurry apparently) and punched it at the bottom of the ramp. He began turning circles on the highway that a figure skater would be jealous of. How that meat head didn't hit anyone is miracle, plain and simple. He finally came to rest by crashing into a concrete abutment.
