Today, I was at a Buddhist shrine and wanted to light a candle for my friend who's having a rough time, when I got stung by a bee. I spent the next hour with a swollen shoulder. How does karma work again? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I pulled a bee off of my friend's dog because we were worried he could be allergic. Of course I got stung, and of course the dog wasn't allergic. Turns out I am. FML
Today, a bee landed on my leg. I didn't realize it was there until my friend yelled out, "Bee!" kicked me in the leg, and ran off. I fell to the ground screaming and clutching my leg. She missed the bee and it still stung me. FML
Today, I was at a stop light and a bee landed on my leg. I screamed and started swatting it. It flew into my jacket and I started to strip my jacket off, taking my foot off the brake. I hit the car in front of me and deployed the air bag, breaking my nose. Then the bee stung me in the back. FML
Today, a hornet thought it would be fun to fly into a candle that I had lit. As the hornet burned to death, it flung its charred body at my face, which is more painful than it sounds. FML
Today, I was offered to attend a Buddhist ceremony by one of my regular customers. Not wanting to offend the couple, I made an excuse about have a project for oceanography. Surprise, the husband is an oceanographer and wants to help me with my imaginary project. Karma much? FML
Today, I was riding my motorcycle on the highway and wearing all of my gear - boots, gloves, jacket, and full-face helmet. Somehow a bee found the only spot not covered on my body and stung my neck. I'm allergic to bees. FML
Today, I accidentally stepped on a dead bee. The stinger was still intact. How do I know? It stung my foot. I'm allergic to bees. FML
Today, I found out I was allergic to bees, the hard way, at my wedding. FML
Today, my fiancé heard I was having a rotten day at work. He stopped by the flower shop and bought me a lovely rose which I put right next to my work station. That is until a giant wasp flew out and stung me. I still have a swollen arm hours later. FML
Today, I attended a Buddhist prayer service for my religion and philosophy course. When the service was over, everyone stood up. Unfortunately, my legs and feet had fallen asleep so much that I lost balance and tackled a monk into the shrine. I'm expected to pay for injuries and damages. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Something about your actions in previous lives affecting your caste in this life. At least originally.

It's also possible there's a good reason your friend is having a hard time. Sorry about the shoulder OP. :)

Karma? Really? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't believe in that %#€*!

I think OP is confusing the concept of "karma" with the overused and trite "no good deed goes unpunished". Others here have defined "karma" a whole lot better than I ever could. I'd encourage OP to read up on things before exposing her ignorance again.

Teamjacob - with a comment (and username) like yours, you're calling ME a fool? I've done you the favour of looking up the definition of ignorance: lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc. OP was talking about karma despite a clear lack of understanding of what karma is. That's the definition of ignorance. If you want another example of ignorance, reread your own comment.

47, Agree with everything except I believe it was a sarcastic comment to suggest karma really is a joke. i.e if karma really exists why did this shit happen? That's the way I read it anyway. It's still ignorance, but not so much the "no good deed goes unpunished".

I believe the expression you're looking for is "no good deed goes unpunished".

1) She's complaining 2) "I spent the next hour with a swollen shoulder.", I'm sure as hell i'll be complaining for a swollen shoulder. If she's allergic to bees and get's stung by one and complains here, is she still a "pussy" in your eyes?

Karma is mainly a Hindu doctrine

1.) Karma is Hindu. 2.) It was nice of you to light a candle for your friend. But why would you do something like that if your not even Buddhist? 3.) FYL for getting stung!
