I was driving back to work from lunch in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. I saw this jack-wagon in a Jag-wagon convertible decide he didn’t want to wait for the people in front of him to turn right at the light. He turned diagonally through the parking lot, ignoring the traffic cones, and drove on, immersing the bottom half of his car in freshly poured cement. It was at least 3 inches higher than the bottom of his door.

I worked in retail for a while, including during the Covid-19 Pandemic, so I have a lot of potential stories I could use here. However, I'll use one that I personally helped along karma in a mild way.
I happened to be working in Apparel, at Walmart, during the Pandemic. Naturally, I was wearing a mask as per mandated then. I was working on folding up pants in the men's department on a Jeans table - a random man comes up to me and literally tried to rip the mask off my face. Cue me dodging quickly via super-fast backwards step. Cue the man ending up hitting on of his ankles on the table.
This man tried to rip my mask off of my face four times in total. Keep in mind, I'm not a track-and-field person, but the women in my dad's side of the family can move pretty quickly, as in both his sisters were track stars with records in college and so is my cousin, so I can dodge most people quicker than most people can react. I just kept side-stepping while continuing to fold various pants using my quick-side-stepping ability that works in all directions. I didn't want to end up in a fight but didn't want this guy to rip off my mask.
I also knew exactly where the corners of this table was, so I could side-step each one perfectly in all direction. This man ended up hitting both of his shins and his ankles on the table each time he tried. This got him to half-crumbled over in extreme pain before I walked off to do more of my job. He didn't follow me.
He tried reporting me to management, (which I know because a manager confronted me with video about that later that week). I pointed out that I had been doing my job and was straightening up the pants before I moved over to another display to straighten up those jeans because they were messy. The manager took my word for it because this manager knew how quickly I could move, (as I had literally dodged items in the back when they feel before and not been hit once), and didn't question things. It was a plausible reason as all the clothing departments constantly had to be straighten up.
Random guy that randomly tried to pull off a small female Walmart employee's mask on repeat - you deserved that, and I hoped you learned not to try that on other women.

Not quite instant Karma, but sort of next day Karma. It was at something the Larmer Tree festival here in Dorset. We were camping there and got friendly with a couple of 19 year old American guys who were first year students at a UK university. The first night we were there we went to one of the festival bars, one of the young American lads saw two of our group drinking the local farm cider they were selling and commented that he used to drink cider when he was a kid. This surprised us as we didn't think Americans drink cider, especially not underage Americans. Anyway, he ordered himself a pint which he noted looked and tasted slightly different to the cider he was used to but thought it was really nice. Fast forward a couple of hours and three pints later things are not going well. Apparently, English farm cider and the cider you are used to in America are not at all the same thing. The young lad was feeling slightly unwell so we and his friend decided to take him back to his tent. By the time we got back he had pretty much lost the ability to speak and his legs were no longer working either. We put him to bed and told his friend to look after him and we would check up on him in the morning. Next morning the poor lad was very, very unwell. Not only had he lost control of his legs but also his bladder and bowels. His friend was asking about calling an ambulance and the afflicted one was fairly sure he was dying. We assured them that this was normal for someone who's first encounter with scrumpy cider involved drinking half a gallon of the stuff. We told him to drink plenty of water if he could keep it down and take paracetamol and ibuprofen. When we checked on them that evening his condition was slightly better and he had gone from actually thinking he was dying to merely wishing that he
had done. It wasn't until 24hours later, on the final evening of the festival that he started to feel able to leave his tent other than to go to the toilet or be sick. The poor guy had actually missed most of the festival with a 2 day hangover from hell.

Many years ago I worked for a guy who's temper was something else. At that time he had an expensive sports car which he parked in the car park outside the office. During the day he drove the works van.
One day he came storming in and totally lost the plot, yelling and shouting at my colleague and i over something really trivial (as it happened we had been discussing his temper only a few minutes before). He stormed back out again, got in the van and sped off. Or so we thought...
Less than a minute later he walked back into the office looking shamefaced. My colleague asked what was wrong and he replied, "I've just backed into the car." In his rage he wasn't looking where he was going and reversed the van into his sports car. I had to leave the office and go into another room because I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

Some classmates at college passed me on the interstate, laughing and waving as they sped by. I went over the top of the next hill and they'd been pulled over and were getting a speeding ticket.

Was playing uno with my family. My sister was beating everyone else and had been champion for like 5 rounds. She also gave me a +6 (with stacking) so we all ganged up with stacked +4s and gave her a +12. She still won, but at least we got revenge.
