Have you ever seen someone treat someone else horribly and received instant karma?

Oh yes, most hilariously.

I was once filling up at a petrol station. When I had pulled in to the bay, there had been two cars parked directly out front, just on the side of the road. From what I gauged while filling up my car, there had been some minor collision between them. Nobody was injured. By my eye the damage looked to be no worse than a few scratches, barely even worth paying to fix.

How the damage must have looked to the driver of the front car.

The person from the car in the front was screaming himself hoarse at the young girl from the back car. She was still in her seat looking like she was about to burst in to tears, while he was at her door. Her male passenger was on the footpath shouting for him to calm down. By now I’d filled up but opted to watch on just in case things turned violent.

The angry man in the front car relented and stormed off to his own car, to fetch something from the console, presumably his wallet or his phone. He stormed up to the footpath towards the male passenger, but didn’t close his car door.

A car pulled around the corner at a high speed and collided with his still open door. We all watched dumbfounded as this car took off as if nothing had happened, evidently not wanting to stop to leave details.

This is how he must have looked walking home.

Shit happens, as the saying goes, and collisions are never fun. But always remember, what matters in life is not what happens to us, but how we react. Had he been just a little more level headed, his car would have left that encounter with all four doors!
