Money, Shopping and Painful: Silver linings

Silver linings

By Jessé - 23/11/2021 23:01

Today, after going to the convenience store and getting my card declined, the clerk let me come back home with all the things I'd bought so I could look for money and pay with cash instead, so I went back to pay a few minutes later. Karma paid back the goodwill 3 minutes later by making me burn my left hand with boiling water. FML

Today, it was just too hot. I stripped down and, being home alone, pranced around nude, lip synching and playing air guitar to some music. I was getting really into when I opened my eyes and looked out the window to see an old man with binoculars on his terrace. He wasn't birdwatching. FML

Today, I found out that if a cop asks you if you have any weapons, and you reply by saying "only these guns" while flexing your biceps, they won't take it very well. And neither will the cops down at the station. FML

Today, my boyfriend started coming onto me, despite me being on my period. He said it was okay, and we went to his bedroom. He told me to spread my legs as he spread his hands. Thinking it'd be sexy, I did. He then yelled, "I AM MOSES! I PART THE RED SEA!" and broke down in laughter. FML

Today, after a few months of my neighbors friend parking outside his house and honking until he came outside, I happened to be out doing lawn work. I politely screamed "STOP HONKING YOUR F***ING HORN!" To which they responded by moving in front of MY house and holding down their horn. I hate people. FML

You are confused. The clerk who let you do that earned the good Karma, not you. They did you a favor. While it was decent of you to come back and pay, that was the expectation not something out the ordinary. Sometimes shit just happens…

The clerk is the person in this story with good karma. They did something nice for you which could have resulted in a loss for them. All you did was what you're supposed to do, exchange money for goods. If you're thinking that is karma, that means the thought of not paying entered your head. That's what the burn was for.

That ain't karma. The real way karma works is that deeds in one life get justice in the next. In the popular connotation, karma would have given you a free day-old donut on top of your purchases.
