Sometimes, karma takes a while to come back with a vengeance, but other times, she chooses to show up just when she needs to…

Here, we have a male Karen driver in a quiet suburb who could not stand the fact that road work was being done and was creating a minor traffic jam. A resident of the neighborhood explained that while the road work was minimal, there was a ditch in the area that could easily be avoided if cars were moving slowly and carefully enough… hence, the minor traffic jam.

When this resident tried to cross the street in front of the ditch, the aptly nicknamed Mr. Impatient started honking at the resident and throwing a temper tantrum toward him. Obviously, he was mostly aggravated by the circumstances, but he chose to take it all out on the innocent pedestrian. Well, that's when karma showed up to set the record straight. Right after the driver's temper tantrum, he drove straight into the ditch. No one was hurt besides the male Karen's wounded ego.

    So yesterday I decided to take a walk to the shops. I love to walk even though it's about 10 minutes away. On my way there I noticed that a giant part of the road had been dug up. The asphalt chunks were on the walkway, clearly visible too anyone and the workers had placed a caution marker in the middle of the road.

    My guess is that they had placed some pipes under the road given that it was about 2 meters wide and spanned the entire 2 lane road. It was a pretty deep hole though but not deep enough to harm a car if they slowly drove through it. This is in the suburbs so there were only a few cars that were taking their time to get over the ditch.

    I hadn't paid it any mind and continued to do my walk to the store. On my way back I had noticed there were a few more cars backed up behind the ditch

    and they were moving super slowly. There was one guy that was leaning on his horn, waving his arms sporadically and he was clearly upset. This guy was also in one of those super low to the ground cars...

    think rich person in the middle of a midlife crisis kind of cars. I had to get to the other side of the road though and I waited until the line had come to a brief full stop.

    I did a quick check to see if there were any oncoming cars and ran over to the other side of the street. Remember, this is the suburbs, there is no crossing and it's completely legal in my area to just cross the street. I of course

    had made the mistake of doing this right in front of Mr impatient. He honked his horn even more and yelled something out of his window. I just ignored him and kept on walking.

    A few seconds later, and right by the ditch, Mr impatient comes flying past me, on the wrong side of the street, and yells at me" and f*** you too!!" while hanging out of his window.

    He hadn't even finished his yell when he drove smack into that ditch. It was a super loud bang and he was skidding to a halt. His entire front bumper was completely destroyed and who knows what other

    unseen damage there was. I just raised an eyebrow and noticed a lady in an SUV laughing hysterically. I kept my cool and just continued my walk. Once I was around the block I had to sit down to laugh. Karma... don't mess with her.

    LostFireHorse. 6 hr. ago With a little luck and karma he may have destroyed his bumper and possibly radiator and hoses, depending on how low the is. If it was a real sporty low thing it may be a turbo, which often have an intercooler. Favourite placement with fucknuckles for intercoolers is looow at the front. Hopefully he had one of them too. Had.

    oddartist 5 hr. ago LOL! I used to take my lunch at the top of a short hill where asphalt turned to dirt. There were enormous dips in the dirt where the asphalt ended. At least once a week, sometimes way more often, I'd watch some take flight and lose a few parts. My favorite was a work truck with tools doing twice the speed limit. Looked like a Michael Bay production.
