A case of good karma for me: when I was in middle school, we went on a school trip. Me being the anxious little kid I was, I decided to spend most of the trip helping the teachers, even when it wasn’t my task. On the long bus ride home, we stopped at a convenience store for restrooms and snacks. While I was in line, I found a five dollar bill on the floor. I asked everyone in line if they had lost five bucks, until this older fella in front of me said “I think that’s yours now, bud.” It made me happy.
I bit through my tongue during a seizure (with me canines, so 2 puncture holes all the way through). Couldn't eat solid food for weeks while they healed
That is the exact reason why one shouldn't attempt to put something into a sizing persons mouth. They might hurt their teeth or simply bite off the helping persons fingers. But I guess maybe that ladys seizure was already over and she went unconscious and in this case removing dentures is one big step of securing the airway.
@@annasstorybox7906I expect you’re right, as they describe rolling them into the recovery position, and you’d not be doing that while they’re actively seizing. You move any hazards out of the way and keep an eye on them until they stop.
@@annasstorybox7906I would guess the seizure was over by that point because you also don’t want to restrain anyone actively seizing. Best thing to do is clear the area and give them space so they can’t cause any traumatic injuries to themselves or others
The guy who stopped the emergency vehicles and got arrested could possibly be charged with something along the lines of manslaughter if one of those people had died because the ambulance was delayed getting there.
Seen that happen in my local news. Someone died on a blocked ambulance. Manslaughter charges dropped all around. Ambulance took to the curb and a bunch followed the ambulance only to find another group fed up with traffic driving the wrong way on the curb from the opposite direction. Penned in on all sides the ambulance couldn't move. Every driver on the curb were facing manslaughter charges.
I find it funny that all the stories involving fast drivers getting into bad karma, but watching game footage of wreckless driving is kinda adding to the irony XD
My husband is a firefighter. He had someone pull out in front of his rig with his lights and sirens. Hubby slammed on the brakes, but he still struck the vehicle. The other driver survived, but barely. My husband works for a very small rural department. If they get two calls at one time, then someone who's on their day off has to come in and take the other call. (There are volunteers, but they apparently aren't very reliable.) So, not only did this guy nearly die, but someone else lost their home because couple of off duty guys had to drop what they were doing, run to the station, get the other rig and their gear, then drive a longer route to avoid the accident to nearly the county line.
My mother's uncle had a really good friend who was a cop for many years. The cop's 17 years-old son passed away from a heart condition and many of the cops' friends and colleagues came by the house to offer their condolences. Imagine the scene: we're at the wake, all sad and solemn when about 50 cops all get a call on their radios simultaneously about a convenience store that is being robbed - and it's literally across the street from them. All 50 cops left the house and just walked across the street, guns at the ready. The robbers sure picked the wrong day/wrong time.
This is a sad but wholesome story. Sad because your mom's uncle's friend's son died (at a very young age at that) but wholesome because the cops were able to be on the scene as fast as they were. Thanks for sharing!
For the seizure problem, never stick your fingers in someone’s mouth. If they detect something in there, there’s a good chance they’ll bite so hard that you’ll lose those fingers. My grandfather did that when I had my first seizure and he’s lucky to still have those fingers. But, he did help me get up while I was still unconscious and my body was in self defense mode. Apparently I punched him a few times before he pushed me on to the couch. It was a scary time.
My husband suffered a badly broken thumb, jamming it in my mouth during a seizure, trying to save my tongue (I would, for sure, have bitten it off had he not done it though, so while I still feel horribly guilty, but ngl am grateful!). The paramedics yelled at him (he knew better, but there was nothing else close to stick in there, and it was a particularly bad seizure - I'd already bitten my tongue severely several times, and he knew it was just a matter of time til I bit it off), but he still says it was worth it. Love that man! ❤️
With seizures, I’m not properly trained, but for many years I had a family friend who was severely epileptic, and had frequent seizures, so I tried to learn a bit. The myth is that people can choke on their own tongue. Don’t try to stick your hands in their mouth to hold it (what a weird concept). However, if they currently have something foreign in their mouth, like loose dentures or food, I’m pretty sure you wanna try and get it out, fast, so they don’t choke on it. You turn them on their side for sure, and support their neck and head. Don’t try to feed them anything. And, if possible, try to keep count in your head of how long the seizure is lasting. It can be helpful to emergency workers to know. If it goes over 5 minutes, you’ve got some major serious trouble on your hands and it becomes a critical situation. Always ALWAYS call 911 if a stranger has a seizure, or someone who you don’t know about having seizure history. Only times you Don’t is if 1) you know they have epilepsy, 2) they have distinctly told you it’s fine if they have seizures, AND 3) you are officially TRAINED to handle them. But in every other case, play it safe and call 911 IMMEDIATELY. Edit: yall glance at the replies to this there is some wisdom down there, thank you all who replied. always remember to double check things you read on the internet before putting them into practice, and be safe!
It's not a myth that people can choke on their tongues during a seizure, there are multiple types of seizures, some of which can cause the tongue to relax and block the air passage. The myth you refer to is just the response in terms of holding the tongue. Actual practice, still depending on the type of seizure (can't remember off the top of my head, the name but I believe you're referring to a grand mal seizure), is actually just to make sure the area is clear of objects that become a danger, making sure the head is protected by something underneath to cushion as otherwise the head can hit against the ground. The other thing is that for any type of seizure an ambulance should be called, the exception to this being if you know they have a history of seizures, and if they do have a history there is one of two options; you know how long their seizures last (call and ambulance if it lasts longer than their usual) or you don't know how long their seizures last then after 5 minutes is when you call and ambulance. Speaking as a European (I know peeps in the US get a bit more anxious about ambulances due to the costs associated, so the situation might be slightly different (which NGL makes me feel sick as a first aider)) with over 12 years of first aid experience including an AWFA certificate, and as an adaptive snowsports instructor. This is a very brief summary in response to a couple of things in the comment and the actual way to deal with types of seizures requires a lot more than I could type in a comment really, but I felt I need to clear up these few things with the original comment.
@@EugeneRimmer not to be rude but is it possible you could find out what types of seizures cause the toung to relax and people to choke as lots of my family (myself include have epilepsy and we have never heard of people chocking on their toung) i have absent and focal seizures my younger cousin has absent and my uncle has gran mall (cant remember the new name for it off top of my head) and so far we were told that make sure people don't do anything with our mouth (unless we a eating) count how long it is and try to record it and don't worry about and ambulance unless its 5 min or longer OR you fall and hit the ground. this is aus if that helps
Thats what I was thinking. If you know they have dentures, get them out if you can. What if they came loose and that person choked on them? I have petti mall and the worst i've done was drool down myself. That and when I was in the early stages of being assessed I went through 2 periods where I was having seizures every 5 minutes, luckily I was in the right place at the right time for both. 1 outside a shop where I knew the workers and the other was at work. The one at work they called an ambulance, they came just as my seizures stopped and I was a sopping mess but they had the audacity to say I was faking. My manager and mam, who was called, were furious.
Two girls bounced out of a Publix in Florida thinking they were all that. As we got closer one of the girls winked at my husband right in front of me. As she did, a pelican pooped on her head and she started screaming. It was like getting hit with a huge wat of steamy pudding. It was all over her head and face. My husband started to retch and I, well, i just kept going with a big smile on my face.
Who pissed in your cheerios? Did your parents neglect you so much that you have to try to get attention from strangers by replying to comments about how unhappy you are😂😂 ?? Go outside touch some grass bro. Stop being a loser…
A long time ago I was at an intersection on my bike. Lots of cars, all standing still because we heard an ambulance siren blaring, and rapidly coming closer. Since I was outside, the siren was pretty loud, and I think everybody knew it was serious business because nobody moved. We were all waiting for the ambulance to pass. JUST as the sound got deafening, one idiot turned left, right into the path of the ambulance! The ambulance had to drive on the left because of the heavy traffic. I was literally bracing for the impact but somehow the ambulance swerved and the car missed it. I’m sure people were calling that driver names because I sure was.
Emergency vehicle drivers get extensive defensive-driving training just because of events like the one you witnessed. They do an amazing job, too. They all deserve raises, vacation time, and a couple free drinks.
Story 10: LexiKitty on EmKay discussing a projector that had experience as a piñata: "I don't know what I'd suggest we do to the kids in this situation, but I suspect that the projector has some ideas. I think we should hear it out." Likewise, the people in the accident might have some ideas and we should hear them out. It is the law after all.
I was frequently bullied back when I was in junior high. One time me and a bully named Jake got into a fight. He hit me really hard in the forehead and I heard a crack I thought it was my skull at first. Turns out the guy had screwed up the punch and broke his arm in front of the whole gym. That was a hard one to explain when I was in the principal’s office with two black eyes. But there were enough witnesses so I got off easy. I was hit with a two day suspension. Since while I got into a fight with him I wasn’t the one who broke his arm he did that himself. He got a week suspension plus had to spend months in a cast due to the amount of fractures in his arm.
I wound up delivering the instant karma myself once. I was in High School at the time, in my Junior year, and I'm on my way to my next class when three punks start trying to hassle me because I'm alone. With how badly I used to get bullied as a kid (I once wound up with a broken arm because of those bullies), I was internally freaking out, but on the outside I somehow managed to maintain an eerily calm look on my face as I turned and began to very calmly walk right up to them and then stare *_DOWN_* at the trio's leader. The entire time I could see his entire thought process written on his face, starting off smug and cocky, then going to slight concern as he started to realize how big the actual size difference between us was, to a visibly terrified expression as he realized that not only was I bigger and bulkier than him, he wasn't even shoulder-level to me. And the entire time I'm just silently staring him in the eyes, wordlessly daring him to try something. The punk and his two buddies promptly ran off and I was never bothered by anyone again. And boy did that feel incredible to have finally gotten some payback on would-be bullies, all without me having to say a word or lift a finger....completely non-violent payback. To go from being the preferred victim of bullies, to bullies now being terrified of me and also realizing that with how badly I was bullied in the past, I would not have ignored it if I ever saw someone else getting bullied.
I too enjoy reading stories of good instant karma. Doing the right thing, and getting rewarded for it, its always satisfying and pleasing to hear. Makes me feel better every time.
I've got a good one here. A guy in my apartment complex carries a Harry Potter wand everywhere with him, and someone jokingly asked him to cast a spell on him - only to be stopped by the roommate of the guy with the wand. For context, this roommate is six feet tall, weighs about 300 pounds, and is notorious for pretending to be intimidating (although he's really kind and caring). He said, in a voice that borders on being a growl, "Stop that!" and the guy stopped immediately.
Not quite instant (maybe about 3 weeks) but I once fainted in high school while watching a video on open heart surgery. One girl mocked me relentlessly for it. Then, when we were watching a movie that featured a self-induced abortion, she fainted in the same way I had.
My favorite instant karma I witnessed: Was sitting in a line of traffic waiting to make a right turn because it's so backed up that I haven't made it to where the left and right turn lanes start. Both turn lanes are visibly empty. Car behind me decides he doesn't want to wait the two minutes in the line of go-straight traffic and decides to go into the opposing lane of traffic to get to the left turn lane. Didn't realize that one of the cars in traffic in front of me was a State Trooper. Trooper immediately pulls out of the line of traffic and follows him into the left turn lane, lights and siren on
I was at a stop sign in my semi behind another car when the guy behind me decided he wasn't going to wait. Je rips around me amd up to the intersection, now in the wrong way lane - right next to the deputy who was #1 at the sign. He, then, goes and tries to drive away as if nothing happened. The cop actually had to chase him down half a mile. I bet his response was, _"What?!"_
Story 17: I used to live in Alaska. There is absolutely a way of driving at normal speeds in the worst ice and snow conditions... Not while it's actively falling, but you know, after. When the ground friction is an old videogame's ice level. So idiots see people like me doing 75 on sheer ice and think "oh, you don't need to do anything different!" and just ZOOM! right into the ditch. If you want to know, what you do is you feather your breaks, and push them way slower than you're used to doing, your stop distance tripples. You're also making sure to do fine adjustments of your wheel constantly so you turn slightly into any skid, just enough to start turning that direction, then slooowly turn back to the road. It's kind of like micro-fishtailing, just a few inches in a given direction at a time. Done right you stay basically straight in the lane and can stop properly. It takes a lot of focus and attention, and works best in cars with Anti-Lock breaks.
Shifting to neutral (or holding down the clutch if you're driving stick) before applying the brakes helps tremendously. Some say that can strain the transmission, but that's replaceable; the driver and passengers are not.
Speaking of driving on ice, or nearly ice, there was a time where I mistakenly thought. My mother was drunk. Let me set the scene for you, mom is driving me in a chief. That was my brother‘s first car, and she was driving me to the airport in Columbus. I live about 45 minutes south of there, capital city of Ohio if you must now, getting me to the airport to go out and visit my father, I was roughly 15 to 17 years old. Anyhow, if it was black eyes, or there was some light snow, and the wind was blowing the snow across the pavement in such a way that everybody was slipping and sliding around, I think one lady even fishtails, mom can tell the story about night because she was the one driving. Anyhow, we are skinny around, she’s telling me to be quiet, I make the signal to myself to ensure silence, and I’ll explain this. If I know we need to be silent I will cross one finger over my throat, almost cutting off gesture. Anyhow, my mostly blind self is looking at mom, she’s getting all over the road, Eventually turn our butts around to go back home, because it is much too dangerous to be driving up there, and I know she had nothing more drink than water. However, the amount of skidding she was doing I could have sworn that water has been spiked.
I worked as a security officer on our suburban train network. This story was told to me by a man the next day. Young thug asulted a man around 50, thinking he had an easy target. Older man jumps up, swings the thug around, and pins him against door of train. He then proceeds to make a call to police station. " Sargent ayz, I am this train, can I have 2 police meet me at next station please " Said thug had abutted an off duty police officer. Would have loved to have seen it, and seen thugs face in court room.
One time, my mom and I were driving somewhere during a snowstorm. And when we got on the highway, she was driving carefully and slowly, and a blue pickup truck sped by us, going way too fast for the condition of weather. Five minutes later, we saw their car in the ditch.
So I kind of have an instant karma story of my own and I am fully aware that I was the one responsible for causing this instant karma to myself. so when I was about 12-ish and my brother was older me, my brother, my mom and my dad were in the car driving…somewhere I’d forgotten where and I was pestering and bullying him about something that I’ve completely forgotten and at some point between the pestering and bullying my brother had had enough of it and he hauls off and hits me di-rectly in the face leaving me with a black eye, and what did my loving parents do? All they said to me was “you see? that’s what you get for pestering him” then I learned a very valuable lesson in how far to not push my brothers anger and I reeled in my bullying a significant degree after that and we’re still close siblings to this day
I got a story but it's end isn't fun My dad was driving me to college and as we're sitting waiting on a red light this guy on a motor bike just zooms past us through a red light. Me and my dad made comments on his driving and my dad says the thing he always says about reckless drivers. "Physics doesn't care about you, Physics is Physics." Later that week my dad was driving me to college and we see a memorial on the side of the road. My dad than asks me if I remember the biker speeding through a red light. Turns out two hours after we saw him, he was speeding up a hill or something, gained air, and crashed into a car. I'm not gotta say any more about what happened after that, but that man literally died that day cause he wanted to ride his cool motorbike like he was in gta or something. It's honestly really sad and shows that physics really doesn't care about who ever you are, if you test physics it will bite back if your driving recklessly, physics is physics.
I had a locker mate steal a pair of dress shoes from our locker. I took them off because they would give me blisters. He took them and wore them in front of me. I confronted him, but didn’t want to fight him over the shoes I didn’t want to wear. The next day we were in gym, and he had the nastiest blisters on his heels and it made me feel great!
If someone blacks and ambulance, they should be put in the exact situation the patient was in, and have to wait the same ampunt of time the patient had to wait to get medical attention
Several years ago, i worked for an absolute shitbag boss who openly stole from the company, manipulated people to no end, lied, cheated, threw others under the bus for HER mistakes, set up hidden cameras trying to catch people doing things she could use against them later.....soooo many other things i dont have the time to name right now. She created the most toxic, hostile work environment i have ever had the displeasure of being in. But she also also wouldnt allow anyone to miss work for any reason. PTO was always denied and if you called in sick, she would say "well im sure you'll feel better in an hour, so we'll see you then," while making veiled threats about your job security. So one day a coworker called in sick due to a stomach bug that was causing him to spew out both ends. She did the usual "i'll see you in an hour" thing and told him she had someone who was interested in his job. So he came in an hour late, clearly looking like shit, and went to her office to check in for the day....where he promotly was hit with another wave of nausea and barfed ALL. OVER. HER. DESK. 😂😂😂😂
silly and light hearted one but we lived in a small sleepy town with an active police department. bf and I were going to a walmart to get groceries (we often went at night bec of work schedules) a white suv turns onto our street with no lights on. So we flash out high beams on and off to warn them. we do like four times, then a cop comes out of the darkness and claps them and pulls them over. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically as the woman driving was prob confused asf as to why we kept flashing her. Luckily the town is pretty well lit hence prob why she didn't realize her lights were off. Made my week.
I was moving back to Alaska from Texas in 2001. It was lare November and it had been snowing very hard for about 24 hours and I didn't have snow tires for my car yet as they don't sell them in the South. As I got about 150 miles from home driving through Anchorage the weather turned from snow to driving rain. I knew that if i stopped i would be stranded in Anchorage and didn't have enough money for a hotel so i proceeded to continue the journey and I was climbing a mountain pass but because of the rain on the ice i was only able to drive about 10 miles per hour without losing traction. I was passed by 22 irate angry idiots in 4 wheel drive trucks while climbing the pass and when i carefully descended the other side i passed all 22 of the trucks as they had slid off of the road into the ditch with some of them quite heavily damaged. I had no choice but to keep going because if I had tried to stop i would have also crashed due to the water on top of the ice. I called the State Troopers as soon as I got cellphone service to report the large number of trucks wrecked and in the ditch. As it was because of the severe weather the 160 miles between Anchorage and my parents home took me 13.5 hours. It's normally a 4 hour drive in winter. Allof tne impatient idiots that couldn't drive at a decent speed for the weather got the karma of wrecking their vehicles in the same 8 mile stretch of highway and it tok tne State Troopers 19 hours to rescue them. Some of the trucks were still in the ditch a month later when I drove back to Anchorage for a medical appointment.
12:51 I live somewhere where it doesn't snow that often, but I keep installing snow tires nonetheless. I'd say around 85-95% of people in the winter here don't have winter tires. I can safely drive much faster than everyone else (I'm originally from way up north so I have plenty of snow/ice driving experience and I know the limits of my car and tires). The closest I ever got into an accident was actually while waiting at a red light. The person behind me wasn't able to stop in time because they kept sliding with their all-seasons. I saw them approaching in the mirror and gave them more space. There was one time when we had a terrible blizzard, and people in heavy 4x4s with all-seasons couldn't make it up a short inclined part of a street. I just breezed past in my front-wheel drive subcompact like it was nothing.
My dad used to be a cop and one of his favorite stories was people driving down the shoulder and he and his partner flagging them over into a parking lot and writing them tickets. Said he saw some of the same people 2-3 times.
funny story, not sure if it’s karma but yk. i have a best friend that used to steal a lot, and i mean every store they went to they stole. i went to a store with them and BEGGED them not to steal because my mom worked there and i didn’t want to get in trouble - yet they did it anyways. a few days later we hung out at my house and my mom told bsf to sit on the couch. they had a long, long talk about stealing especially at her store. they don’t steal as much but my mom definitely knocked some sense into them
Accused of being a potential robber for standing in a drive-thru area to use an ATM by a senior citizen in a van, told the bank tellers to call the cops. I walked into the bank and bank patrons told me to breathe and relax because I was upset. A few minutes later, the man in the van's bank business comes to a halt. He tried taking money from his wife's account without her there. To hear him get mad about that was awesome.
The best instant karma on the road I've seen was in 2021. Mom and I came back from shopping, stopped at the intersection, and looked at the right side, if you go straight. A guy in his Audi 8 skipped a red light and didn't index, thinking no one noticed. However, a fancy colored car followed with the SIRENS ON, the police😂 We chuckled a good bit till we arrived home🤣
Peope who drive giant F-150's in the snow thinking that "i have big truck, i vsn drive snow good!" And ending up sliding into a ditch will always be hilarious. Ill stick to my little slow 4x4 jeep thanks.
Not a ton of karma, but my wife and I were driving on a road trip where there was signs of construction miles ahead and to merge to the right lane. Bunch of jackasses were flying by in the left lane which made the right lane barely move. The guy ahead of us pulled into the left lane and kept pace with my wife and I. After a minute or two, everything started moving. We got to the spot to merge and we let him in. Selfish assholes slow traffic doing crap like this. Him blocking them made traffic move again.
I work at a gas station, and it's on an intersection that goes from town to highway, there's a light for people going left, and going straight out of town. This dude in a truck decided to illegally use our parking lot to skip the red light, he hit the next street to the left's red light ✨
Story 3: Why would that person make fun of a llama the llama didn’t do anything to anyone it’s just eating grass and loving life plus some llamas give you kisses (there’s a llama at the gentle barn named King who is an absolute character, my mom got some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen taken of a llama honestly and what I mean by “kisses” is he goes up to you and puts his nose near your face, it’s endearing as Frick and I love King to bits) Also that instant karma was well-deserved plus the spit, fun fact is not spit, it’s stomach contents which makes the story even better😈 Plus llamas are ornery creatures and they don’t take kindly to being harassed, not to mention the fact that their kicks are lighting fast and are strong enough to break bone so yeah don’t mess with a llama…no scratch that don’t mess with any animal because they can and will show you who the boss is
ICU nurse here. If the dentures were loose in her mouth during a seizure, it would be better to try and remove them as they could obstruct her airway. If not, leave them alone! You could get your fingers bitten off for sticking your hand in the mouth of someone seizing. If in doubt, leave fingers out.
Story 7. I hand my Crocs stolen at an indoor water park. They were the only shoes I had with me and it was winter. I was not happy. I had to squeeze my 9 1//2 size feet into my friend’s size 7 sneakers. 😡
I have probably seen many instances of "instant karma", I happen to be able to remember none of them at this moment take that how you will. In my experience, karma usually isn't instant. So you often see karma manifest upon a collective rather than specific individuals. Takes a while but you'll notice every group that has done bad things to others ends up in a pitiful position if you look at it the right way.
Collective punishment is illegal under the Geneva convention. The actions of an individual are not the actions of the group, and it is stupid to punish an entire group for the actions of one member.
For the first story. The cops usually set up near choke points going to and from major beaches for this exact reason. They fill major quotas bringing in tons of revenue for their area. I used to go to LBI every year when I was little. Without fail EVERY year, the causeway to the island would have a cop trap because of all the congestion. We would normally pass 50+ cars that are waiting to be cited for taking an exit lane and trying to dip back into traffic in an IHOP parking lot just before the actual bridge onto the island started. You knew they were waiting for tickets as there were cones separating the parking lot between guests and the offenders. My dad and i got caught in the trap once as we were exiting the IHOP parking lot onto that exit lane, a bit too far passed the dotted lines trying to merge back on. We got out of it after showing the receipt from the restaurant and stating we were just trying to get back on behind our other vehicles since we had 3 cars all together and this was before smart phones so only the lead car had a GPS.
Story 6. She ain't stupid for asking for help. Ladders can be dangerous (I should know. I made a mistake with one, it collapsed, and I wound up with two broken ribs). Story 10. How about a year's jail for that jerk? Story 19. Yes, that's good karma.
One day, It was raining heavily. I was walking down my street and a guy drives in from the main street. Now, my street is one way. So five seconds later, the guy gets stopped by police that were driving directly behind him.
I am aggressively safe with crossing the street.. I am paranoid of something happening and either an asshole deciding to drive through when I have crosswalk right of way, I just wait for them to pass. If they are nice, they will stop. I figure, chances of getting hit are lower if the person sees me, slows down and specifically wait for me to cross.. I then run across cause I am paranoid of being still on the street and someone else decides to drive across. if a car is coming and they are close enough to me or even a distance, I don't trust my ability to cross the street and will wait. I tend to flip out when I see people just J-walk the street of cars without a care in the world. I wish I can just have balls like that but that shit terrifies me!
@@OllieOxyn Which is why I wait till they slow down. I don't begin to cross the street till I see that they slow down. If they slow down chances are they are aware.. if I trip or were to, they should see me go down. I probably could sometimes go but I wait to see if there are NO cars anywhere AT ALL.. Told you.. I was aggressively paranoid safe. I see so many of these stories so I just wait. You are less likely to get hit if the car full on stops or makes the "go ahead" signal
One day I was walking in the living room I was about to walk down the stairs backwards I wasn’t gonna do it do it. My mom said don’t do that you’re gonna trip and I said I haven’t tripped in my whole life. I’m 10 years old by the way and then karma came. I was walking down to Downstairs After I won a game of Fortnite with my papa, he lives downstairs. I walked little too fast. I tripped a little bit, But when I was done talking to my Papa, after we won the game, I said to my mom karma came
not sure if it was karma or just a bad day, the first time I took a bus the driver stopped at his own house for about 15 minutes, which kinda creeped me out never having gone on the bus here before, and I missed my stop, so I got out when I realized and walked about half a mile to where my stop should have been, but during that walk I saw a little old lady trying to pull out of a parking lot, there were cars coming on both direction and I saw her looking both ways but she just seemed to stare right through me as she went to move not a second after I had cleared her car, she looked so apologetic and in shock I raised my hands but I wasn't actually upset, I get its hard to pay attention to everything happening, so I'm not sure what I had done to warrant such bad luck, but at least I wasn't too injured from the whole ordeal, just sore legs the next day from walking
So with seizures you don't want to go near the mouth and apart from making sure the heads protected you don't want to touch them till they stop seazing Sourse will quote from my manual when i get home Event first aider
Grocery stocking person, you did good. I do something very similar in high school. I worked for the vending program and that meant stocking the vending machines as well as running our medley very small, concession stand. We called the canteen, don’t ask. Understand that the food vending machine was at a very specific way. Chips went on the top two rows, I think it might be the same everywhere else in this beautiful country, I could be wrong and if you want to correct me and I am wrong, then I thank you for the correction. I am only about 5 feet tall, give or take an inch or so, depending upon the shoes I’m wearing. Normally I’m running around normal running shoes, so about an inch to an inch and a half over 5 feet. This was enough to get the first few bags into the slots, each slot or column if you will, had to have a minimum of six. at first I would stand on the very edge of the bottom of the vending machine to get one or two more bags up there. However, I was terrified of putting too much weight on it because I was afraid the top over onto me. Was it rational? I am not entirely sure, I just know that when I put my weight onto it, it would teeter and I did not like it was yelled at by the Director of the program, also the woodworking instructor, getting help. Largely ignored him, we were generally on good terms, his last name was Shaw. His sister was both a whole instructor and my swim coach, and she had known me for years. a pair of the few instructors of that godforsaken school that I actually liked in respect to the upmost. Not that they didn’t respect everyone else, I respect authority figures, they just earned continual respect maybe they were. Because from my mind it is, which would you rather? The vending machine fully loaded or me scaring myself half to death. I’ll take fully live vending machine thanks. Although, that is the reason why if food is not the food vending machine correctly it does aggravate me. But this sucking shelves also means that anytime I see an empty slot on the shelf, I am driven mildly nuts. Don’t know if it’s an OCD type thing or what,
I think if somebody blocks emergency vehicles like that (as in an intentional and stupid manner), then said person should be held accountable for injuries or deaths that were caused/worsened by the slower response time.
Mild karma story: I was at the doctor, sitting in the waiting room reading my book. Some lady came in, sat down, pulled out her kindle and proceeded to say “kindles are so much better than books. Once I got this, I never looked back” I didn’t even acknowledge her, I just kept reading. Not even 30 seconds later she says “oh. Don’t they have WiFi in here?” I ignored her, and kept reading- but I was laughing on the inside!
A few years ago, near the end of middle school for me, my grandparents took me on a vacation. At some point, some guy in a blue pickup (who sounded like he had no muffler) passed us and approached two other cars ahead of us. The two other cars were in their own lanes and offset from each other (if you wanted to pass them, you still needed to wait for them to become more offset), and the blue pickup must have buttered his bumpers, since he was able to fit in between, but really cutting in front of the car further behind. Not one second passes before we hear a siren from a cop actively leaving a nearby parking lot. We passed the pickup not long after, stopped on the shoulder with the cop car behind.
Story 10. I thought emergency vehicles were allowed to push other vehicles off the road if they are blocking their way especially if said vehicles are in the emergency lane.
Story 7… went through the same thing, but I saw the kid wearing them and had to make physical threats in order to get them back, but I did…. He had to exit a Carnival in his socks.
I have an instant karma story. I was picking on my little sister while walking home from school and I feel into one of ditches on the side of the road that helps the roads not flood. My little sisters laughed at me for the rest of our walk home. I was so embarrassed I didn’t say anything back. 😂
Full story I used to work on British Rail, people seem to think it's ok to be verbally and physically abusive towards the staff. I was about 18 years of age and I was working on the platforms, we had sent a train out and this very well to do couple arrived late and missed the train. Of course it was my fault they were late, and the abuse began. The woman decided it was a direct insult to her, so slapped me around the face, screaming abuse about how fat and ugly I was. Just for the record, I was a size 14, 5′10 teenage girl who weighed about 11 stone. When I began to distance myself, the man slammed me in to the train beside me and pinned me to the coach, he began to call me a fat slut etc. The woman slapped me again, then the man decided to do the same, all the time I'm holding down the transmitter button on my walkie talkie, so every member of staff could hear and was coming running. The woman screamed at me “you'll never have a man, look at mine. He's got money and look. You're too fat and stupid to manage that “ The man slapped me again and demanded “are you married? Do you even have a boyfriend?” Yes sir. “Where is he then?” He screamed, “I'll rip his head off for having such a stupid, fat girlfriend?” That's when a deep Cornish voice said “he's such standing right behind you…sir. With the police…sir. Touch my lady again.. sir. Just. Touch. Her.” Yep, my 6′5 and a half, Cornish co-worker boyfriend was standing directly behind them. They were arrested and charged with common assault. From what I was told, it didn't go down too well with the trading floor he worked on, and he lost his job. EDIT: I’ve just got off the phone to Wayne (the ex). He’s totally gobsmacked by all the comments and says to pass on that he wishes he had gotten to the guy alone too! He says to tell you all that the man went a kinda sickly greeny white colour and looked like he was going to throw up, and Wayne had real trouble to keep a straight face, but he’s a gentle giant (he is) and wouldn’t have hurt him “Just scared him really REALLY badly!” Yes, we are still best of friends

I actually like the word princess for its sheer flexibility. You could use it as an insult for people who are lazy, self important, ignorant, etc. Or you could use it to describe someone you genuinely care about. I don't think the boss used it right, tho, unless he was intentionally willing the instant karma scenario. "Haha, don't be ! This is how you do it!"
@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012 It is traditionally, but when used as an insult, anything can lose its gender link. Like people call each other "bitch" all the time, regardless of gender, despite it's official meaning. When using it to describe someone you care about, that probably would have to be female, though.
To me, emergency vehicles should have every right to get to an emergency scene no matter what has to be done. If someone pulls in front of an emergency vehicle while lights and sirens are on the emergency vehicle should be allowed to push the car back.
about the seizure story: seizures usually last pretty short. something under 30sec to maybe a bit over a minute, with extreme cases lasting a bit over 2min max, as far as i know. so chances are it was already over by the time he reached the person. well, i only know about epileptic seizures but that seems to fit here. the denture removal and stable side position can only be done once its over. because during a seizure all muscles in the body (or just a certain section in some cases) are tensed up to the max. so you can't remove dentures because either the mouth is shut tight or if you have your fingers in the mouth while the seizure starts affecting the head muscles, your fingers are definitely bitten off, almost guaranteed. and the stable side position is impossible to accomplish during a seizure because the patient is shaking and flailing wildly and trying to force them into any position is only causing damage, to both the helper and the patient. the muscle tension is so high in fact that it is possible the bones break from the force. as such, any intervention to help the patient is ill-advised, besides putting something under the head to stop it from banging against the ground. other than that the only direct help you can do is moving objects away from the flailing range and, well, call for help. after the seizure is over though, the measures described in the story are correct. the stable side position to prevent the patient from suffocating on spit, vomit or their tongue. the denture removal to prevent the patient from swallowing it and getting it stuck in the air-pipe. and having the other person stay with the patient for safety and emotional support until help comes. the only thing i could add would be asking the other person if the patient has any medicine for such cases. though administrating them should only be done by professionals. depending on the country you can get in serous trouble if medical complication happen after you administer anything without a license, emergency or not.
4WD in snow is really helpful. You can get going quicker and turn easier. But when it comes to stopping you're the same as everybody else. No friction, no stop.
if you block an emergancy vehicle put them on a list and the next time they need emergency services they don't get it, keep a tally like oh shit john that's no ems for 3 calls that sucks

16:12 - Guys never hold anyone who is having a seizure in place, it can cause a lot of harm to the body and everyone else around it, instead make sure the head is laying on something soft and that there isn't anything around that can hurt the person if they bump into it while having the seizure. Also I don't know much about dentures, but if they hold onto place without slipping out I wouldn't see it as any harm, but while a person is unconscious they might swollow their own tongue, which you want to make sure won't happen as this will prevent breathing and soon there won't be any oxygen in the brain. But having op put them in recovery position was a really good thing, as this first of all makes sure swollowing your own tounge isn't a huge risk and also if you were to puke it wouldn't just go straight to your lungs and kill you, but rather it exciting through your mouth. Edit: Know that I am not a medical proffesonal and if you have any questions make sure to ask a professional. Also I have done multiple first aid courses and just completed an offisial CPR course about 2-3 months ago (I was actually gonna apply for an instuctor cource but I didn't have time that weekend and couldn't go, which means I couldn't become an instructor sadly, but I'll have a chance in probably 1-2 years time), I also take part in training for rescue "missions" (primaraly in the mountain, also don't know if mission would be the correct word in this instance), and when I turn 18 I am thinking about joining search missions. Still, with all of this training I AM NOT A PROFFESONAL AND DONT TAKE ALL I SAY AS FACTS, I MIGHT BE WRONG IN SOME PART, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ASK A PROFFESONAL
Hindering emergency vehicles is actually a criminal offense in Germany and I guess in many other European countries. You are obligated to allow them to pass if you can do so safely. This can involve driving into the walkway, the shoulder or somewhere else to make way. If they think you willingly avoided an obvious and safe maneuver they can get you for encumbering emergency services. Also, not stopping at the sight of an accident when it's not clear if they already got help is an offense. Obviously no one is forced to do hands on first aid but one is obligated to at least call emergency services. Not helping a person in need goes further as it involves walking past a helpless person etc. If you help you are safeguarded from getting into trouble. Also... People that can be expected to do more than just a phone call (doctors, nurses, EMTs) are obligated to do more and a basic first aid certificate is mandatory for getting ones drivers license.
About cars using the shoulder, I witnessed such a car driving quite fast on the shoulder to skip a trafic jam. And a few cars forward, another driver suddenly had the same idea; he engaged on the shoulder right at the moment the other car passed: they crashed and both cars were totalled. Instant karma for two bad drivers.
A case of good karma for me: when I was in middle school, we went on a school trip. Me being the anxious little kid I was, I decided to spend most of the trip helping the teachers, even when it wasn’t my task. On the long bus ride home, we stopped at a convenience store for restrooms and snacks. While I was in line, I found a five dollar bill on the floor. I asked everyone in line if they had lost five bucks, until this older fella in front of me said “I think that’s yours now, bud.” It made me happy.
Sometimes during a seizure, the jaw can clench enough to shatter dentures
Weirdest info but thanks
I bit through my tongue during a seizure (with me canines, so 2 puncture holes all the way through). Couldn't eat solid food for weeks while they healed
That is the exact reason why one shouldn't attempt to put something into a sizing persons mouth. They might hurt their teeth or simply bite off the helping persons fingers.
But I guess maybe that ladys seizure was already over and she went unconscious and in this case removing dentures is one big step of securing the airway.
@@annasstorybox7906I expect you’re right, as they describe rolling them into the recovery position, and you’d not be doing that while they’re actively seizing. You move any hazards out of the way and keep an eye on them until they stop.
@@annasstorybox7906I would guess the seizure was over by that point because you also don’t want to restrain anyone actively seizing. Best thing to do is clear the area and give them space so they can’t cause any traumatic injuries to themselves or others
The guy who stopped the emergency vehicles and got arrested could possibly be charged with something along the lines of manslaughter if one of those people had died because the ambulance was delayed getting there.
Accessory at least for preventing them from getting to the accident.
Seen that happen in my local news. Someone died on a blocked ambulance. Manslaughter charges dropped all around. Ambulance took to the curb and a bunch followed the ambulance only to find another group fed up with traffic driving the wrong way on the curb from the opposite direction. Penned in on all sides the ambulance couldn't move. Every driver on the curb were facing manslaughter charges.
And if he didnt then reckless endagerment
I find it funny that all the stories involving fast drivers getting into bad karma, but watching game footage of wreckless driving is kinda adding to the irony XD
Eh, gameplay, no actual people are in danger, just pixels. Actual reckless driving on the road is a whole different matter.
I didn’t really think about that but you’re right🤣

My husband is a firefighter. He had someone pull out in front of his rig with his lights and sirens. Hubby slammed on the brakes, but he still struck the vehicle. The other driver survived, but barely.
My husband works for a very small rural department. If they get two calls at one time, then someone who's on their day off has to come in and take the other call. (There are volunteers, but they apparently aren't very reliable.) So, not only did this guy nearly die, but someone else lost their home because couple of off duty guys had to drop what they were doing, run to the station, get the other rig and their gear, then drive a longer route to avoid the accident to nearly the county line.
If you're that much of an a hole that you stop An emergency vehicle you should go to jail for 5 to 10 years
You need Judge Dredd (Sylvester Stallone version). Remember the scene with the jerk who couldn't park his car?
My mother's uncle had a really good friend who was a cop for many years. The cop's 17 years-old son passed away from a heart condition and many of the cops' friends and colleagues came by the house to offer their condolences. Imagine the scene: we're at the wake, all sad and solemn when about 50 cops all get a call on their radios simultaneously about a convenience store that is being robbed - and it's literally across the street from them. All 50 cops left the house and just walked across the street, guns at the ready. The robbers sure picked the wrong day/wrong time.
This is a sad but wholesome story. Sad because your mom's uncle's friend's son died (at a very young age at that) but wholesome because the cops were able to be on the scene as fast as they were. Thanks for sharing!
For the seizure problem, never stick your fingers in someone’s mouth. If they detect something in there, there’s a good chance they’ll bite so hard that you’ll lose those fingers. My grandfather did that when I had my first seizure and he’s lucky to still have those fingers. But, he did help me get up while I was still unconscious and my body was in self defense mode. Apparently I punched him a few times before he pushed me on to the couch. It was a scary time.
My husband suffered a badly broken thumb, jamming it in my mouth during a seizure, trying to save my tongue (I would, for sure, have bitten it off had he not done it though, so while I still feel horribly guilty, but ngl am grateful!). The paramedics yelled at him (he knew better, but there was nothing else close to stick in there, and it was a particularly bad seizure - I'd already bitten my tongue severely several times, and he knew it was just a matter of time til I bit it off), but he still says it was worth it. Love that man! ❤️
With seizures, I’m not properly trained, but for many years I had a family friend who was severely epileptic, and had frequent seizures, so I tried to learn a bit.
The myth is that people can choke on their own tongue. Don’t try to stick your hands in their mouth to hold it (what a weird concept). However, if they currently have something foreign in their mouth, like loose dentures or food, I’m pretty sure you wanna try and get it out, fast, so they don’t choke on it. You turn them on their side for sure, and support their neck and head. Don’t try to feed them anything. And, if possible, try to keep count in your head of how long the seizure is lasting. It can be helpful to emergency workers to know. If it goes over 5 minutes, you’ve got some major serious trouble on your hands and it becomes a critical situation.
Always ALWAYS call 911 if a stranger has a seizure, or someone who you don’t know about having seizure history. Only times you Don’t is if 1) you know they have epilepsy, 2) they have distinctly told you it’s fine if they have seizures, AND 3) you are officially TRAINED to handle them. But in every other case, play it safe and call 911 IMMEDIATELY.
Edit: yall glance at the replies to this there is some wisdom down there, thank you all who replied. always remember to double check things you read on the internet before putting them into practice, and be safe!
Also if someone is seizing you want to clear the space around them so they don’t hit anything and injure themselves.

It's not a myth that people can choke on their tongues during a seizure, there are multiple types of seizures, some of which can cause the tongue to relax and block the air passage. The myth you refer to is just the response in terms of holding the tongue. Actual practice, still depending on the type of seizure (can't remember off the top of my head, the name but I believe you're referring to a grand mal seizure), is actually just to make sure the area is clear of objects that become a danger, making sure the head is protected by something underneath to cushion as otherwise the head can hit against the ground. The other thing is that for any type of seizure an ambulance should be called, the exception to this being if you know they have a history of seizures, and if they do have a history there is one of two options; you know how long their seizures last (call and ambulance if it lasts longer than their usual) or you don't know how long their seizures last then after 5 minutes is when you call and ambulance.
Speaking as a European (I know peeps in the US get a bit more anxious about ambulances due to the costs associated, so the situation might be slightly different (which NGL makes me feel sick as a first aider)) with over 12 years of first aid experience including an AWFA certificate, and as an adaptive snowsports instructor. This is a very brief summary in response to a couple of things in the comment and the actual way to deal with types of seizures requires a lot more than I could type in a comment really, but I felt I need to clear up these few things with the original comment.
@@EugeneRimmer not to be rude but is it possible you could find out what types of seizures cause the toung to relax and people to choke as lots of my family (myself include have epilepsy and we have never heard of people chocking on their toung) i have absent and focal seizures my younger cousin has absent and my uncle has gran mall (cant remember the new name for it off top of my head) and so far we were told that make sure people don't do anything with our mouth (unless we a eating) count how long it is and try to record it and don't worry about and ambulance unless its 5 min or longer OR you fall and hit the ground. this is aus if that helps
You're right. What boggles my mind and angers my mom is that strangers always want to give me water when I have a seizure.
Thats what I was thinking. If you know they have dentures, get them out if you can. What if they came loose and that person choked on them? I have petti mall and the worst i've done was drool down myself. That and when I was in the early stages of being assessed I went through 2 periods where I was having seizures every 5 minutes, luckily I was in the right place at the right time for both. 1 outside a shop where I knew the workers and the other was at work. The one at work they called an ambulance, they came just as my seizures stopped and I was a sopping mess but they had the audacity to say I was faking. My manager and mam, who was called, were furious.
More positive stories, please!
I love your material and find myself smiling afterwards.
Keep up the great work!

Story 3: Saw that coming. Llamas have absolutely amazing spitting talent.
A long time ago I was at an intersection on my bike. Lots of cars, all standing still because we heard an ambulance siren blaring, and rapidly coming closer.
Since I was outside, the siren was pretty loud, and I think everybody knew it was serious business because nobody moved.
We were all waiting for the ambulance to pass.
JUST as the sound got deafening, one idiot turned left, right into the path of the ambulance! The ambulance had to drive on the left because of the heavy traffic.
I was literally bracing for the impact but somehow the ambulance swerved and the car missed it.
I’m sure people were calling that driver names because I sure was.
Emergency vehicle drivers get extensive defensive-driving training just because of events like the one you witnessed. They do an amazing job, too. They all deserve raises, vacation time, and a couple free drinks.

I was frequently bullied back when I was in junior high. One time me and a bully named Jake got into a fight.
He hit me really hard in the forehead and I heard a crack I thought it was my skull at first. Turns out the guy had screwed up the punch and broke his arm in front of the whole gym.
That was a hard one to explain when I was in the principal’s office with two black eyes.
But there were enough witnesses so I got off easy. I was hit with a two day suspension. Since while I got into a fight with him I wasn’t the one who broke his arm he did that himself.
He got a week suspension plus had to spend months in a cast due to the amount of fractures in his arm.
Was bros bones made of jelly?
@@foxycinnamonkitten997 I don't know! But somehow he managed to break his arm in such a way.
I wound up delivering the instant karma myself once. I was in High School at the time, in my Junior year, and I'm on my way to my next class when three punks start trying to hassle me because I'm alone. With how badly I used to get bullied as a kid (I once wound up with a broken arm because of those bullies), I was internally freaking out, but on the outside I somehow managed to maintain an eerily calm look on my face as I turned and began to very calmly walk right up to them and then stare *_DOWN_* at the trio's leader. The entire time I could see his entire thought process written on his face, starting off smug and cocky, then going to slight concern as he started to realize how big the actual size difference between us was, to a visibly terrified expression as he realized that not only was I bigger and bulkier than him, he wasn't even shoulder-level to me. And the entire time I'm just silently staring him in the eyes, wordlessly daring him to try something. The punk and his two buddies promptly ran off and I was never bothered by anyone again. And boy did that feel incredible to have finally gotten some payback on would-be bullies, all without me having to say a word or lift a finger....completely non-violent payback. To go from being the preferred victim of bullies, to bullies now being terrified of me and also realizing that with how badly I was bullied in the past, I would not have ignored it if I ever saw someone else getting bullied.
I too enjoy reading stories of good instant karma. Doing the right thing, and getting rewarded for it, its always satisfying and pleasing to hear. Makes me feel better every time.
I've got a good one here. A guy in my apartment complex carries a Harry Potter wand everywhere with him, and someone jokingly asked him to cast a spell on him - only to be stopped by the roommate of the guy with the wand. For context, this roommate is six feet tall, weighs about 300 pounds, and is notorious for pretending to be intimidating (although he's really kind and caring). He said, in a voice that borders on being a growl, "Stop that!" and the guy stopped immediately.
Not quite instant (maybe about 3 weeks) but I once fainted in high school while watching a video on open heart surgery. One girl mocked me relentlessly for it. Then, when we were watching a movie that featured a self-induced abortion, she fainted in the same way I had.
My favorite instant karma I witnessed:
Was sitting in a line of traffic waiting to make a right turn because it's so backed up that I haven't made it to where the left and right turn lanes start. Both turn lanes are visibly empty. Car behind me decides he doesn't want to wait the two minutes in the line of go-straight traffic and decides to go into the opposing lane of traffic to get to the left turn lane. Didn't realize that one of the cars in traffic in front of me was a State Trooper. Trooper immediately pulls out of the line of traffic and follows him into the left turn lane, lights and siren on
I was at a stop sign in my semi behind another car when the guy behind me decided he wasn't going to wait.
Je rips around me amd up to the intersection, now in the wrong way lane - right next to the deputy who was #1 at the sign.
He, then, goes and tries to drive away as if nothing happened.
The cop actually had to chase him down half a mile.
I bet his response was, _"What?!"_
Dentures are dangerous. Just be as careful as you can. They could choke on dentures and broken faux teeth
Gotta love how there's so many stories about bad drivers while the background of the video is the worst driving known to man 😭😂
omg yeah. The gameplay on the background is sometimes so bad.
Story 17: I used to live in Alaska. There is absolutely a way of driving at normal speeds in the worst ice and snow conditions... Not while it's actively falling, but you know, after. When the ground friction is an old videogame's ice level. So idiots see people like me doing 75 on sheer ice and think "oh, you don't need to do anything different!" and just ZOOM! right into the ditch. If you want to know, what you do is you feather your breaks, and push them way slower than you're used to doing, your stop distance tripples. You're also making sure to do fine adjustments of your wheel constantly so you turn slightly into any skid, just enough to start turning that direction, then slooowly turn back to the road. It's kind of like micro-fishtailing, just a few inches in a given direction at a time. Done right you stay basically straight in the lane and can stop properly. It takes a lot of focus and attention, and works best in cars with Anti-Lock breaks.
Shifting to neutral (or holding down the clutch if you're driving stick) before applying the brakes helps tremendously. Some say that can strain the transmission, but that's replaceable; the driver and passengers are not.
Speaking of driving on ice, or nearly ice, there was a time where I mistakenly thought. My mother was drunk. Let me set the scene for you, mom is driving me in a chief. That was my brother‘s first car, and she was driving me to the airport in Columbus. I live about 45 minutes south of there, capital city of Ohio if you must now, getting me to the airport to go out and visit my father, I was roughly 15 to 17 years old. Anyhow, if it was black eyes, or there was some light snow, and the wind was blowing the snow across the pavement in such a way that everybody was slipping and sliding around, I think one lady even fishtails, mom can tell the story about night because she was the one driving. Anyhow, we are skinny around, she’s telling me to be quiet, I make the signal to myself to ensure silence, and I’ll explain this. If I know we need to be silent I will cross one finger over my throat, almost cutting off gesture. Anyhow, my mostly blind self is looking at mom, she’s getting all over the road, Eventually turn our butts around to go back home, because it is much too dangerous to be driving up there, and I know she had nothing more drink than water. However, the amount of skidding she was doing I could have sworn that water has been spiked.
Excellent. Concise, moved along at a good speed, and interesting too.

I worked as a security officer on our suburban train network. This story was told to me by a man the next day. Young thug asulted a man around 50, thinking he had an easy target. Older man jumps up, swings the thug around, and pins him against door of train. He then proceeds to make a call to police station. " Sargent ayz, I am this train, can I have 2 police meet me at next station please " Said thug had abutted an off duty police officer. Would have loved to have seen it, and seen thugs face in court room.
One time, my mom and I were driving somewhere during a snowstorm. And when we got on the highway, she was driving carefully and slowly, and a blue pickup truck sped by us, going way too fast for the condition of weather. Five minutes later, we saw their car in the ditch.
So I kind of have an instant karma story of my own and I am fully aware that I was the one responsible for causing this instant karma to myself. so when I was about 12-ish and my brother was older me, my brother, my mom and my dad were in the car driving…somewhere I’d forgotten where and I was pestering and bullying him about something that I’ve completely forgotten and at some point between the pestering and bullying my brother had had enough of it and he hauls off and hits me di-rectly in the face leaving me with a black eye, and what did my loving parents do? All they said to me was “you see? that’s what you get for pestering him” then I learned a very valuable lesson in how far to not push my brothers anger and I reeled in my bullying a significant degree after that and we’re still close siblings to this day
I got a story but it's end isn't fun
My dad was driving me to college and as we're sitting waiting on a red light this guy on a motor bike just zooms past us through a red light. Me and my dad made comments on his driving and my dad says the thing he always says about reckless drivers. "Physics doesn't care about you, Physics is Physics."
Later that week my dad was driving me to college and we see a memorial on the side of the road. My dad than asks me if I remember the biker speeding through a red light. Turns out two hours after we saw him, he was speeding up a hill or something, gained air, and crashed into a car. I'm not gotta say any more about what happened after that, but that man literally died that day cause he wanted to ride his cool motorbike like he was in gta or something.
It's honestly really sad and shows that physics really doesn't care about who ever you are, if you test physics it will bite back if your driving recklessly, physics is physics.
I had a locker mate steal a pair of dress shoes from our locker. I took them off because they would give me blisters. He took them and wore them in front of me. I confronted him, but didn’t want to fight him over the shoes I didn’t want to wear. The next day we were in gym, and he had the nastiest blisters on his heels and it made me feel great!
If someone blacks and ambulance, they should be put in the exact situation the patient was in, and have to wait the same ampunt of time the patient had to wait to get medical attention
Several years ago, i worked for an absolute shitbag boss who openly stole from the company, manipulated people to no end, lied, cheated, threw others under the bus for HER mistakes, set up hidden cameras trying to catch people doing things she could use against them later.....soooo many other things i dont have the time to name right now. She created the most toxic, hostile work environment i have ever had the displeasure of being in. But she also also wouldnt allow anyone to miss work for any reason. PTO was always denied and if you called in sick, she would say "well im sure you'll feel better in an hour, so we'll see you then," while making veiled threats about your job security.
So one day a coworker called in sick due to a stomach bug that was causing him to spew out both ends. She did the usual "i'll see you in an hour" thing and told him she had someone who was interested in his job. So he came in an hour late, clearly looking like shit, and went to her office to check in for the day....where he promotly was hit with another wave of nausea and barfed ALL. OVER. HER. DESK. 😂😂😂😂
silly and light hearted one but we lived in a small sleepy town with an active police department. bf and I were going to a walmart to get groceries (we often went at night bec of work schedules) a white suv turns onto our street with no lights on. So we flash out high beams on and off to warn them. we do like four times, then a cop comes out of the darkness and claps them and pulls them over. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically as the woman driving was prob confused asf as to why we kept flashing her. Luckily the town is pretty well lit hence prob why she didn't realize her lights were off. Made my week.
Aww... that good.karma story about the snacks and the bed frame warms my heart
6:44 the moment they mentioned the airhorn, my neighbors car alarm went off, that was perfect timing man.
Stoping an emergency vehicle with lights on should be a felony, if it isn't already.
I was moving back to Alaska from Texas in 2001. It was lare November and it had been snowing very hard for about 24 hours and I didn't have snow tires for my car yet as they don't sell them in the South. As I got about 150 miles from home driving through Anchorage the weather turned from snow to driving rain. I knew that if i stopped i would be stranded in Anchorage and didn't have enough money for a hotel so i proceeded to continue the journey and I was climbing a mountain pass but because of the rain on the ice i was only able to drive about 10 miles per hour without losing traction. I was passed by 22 irate angry idiots in 4 wheel drive trucks while climbing the pass and when i carefully descended the other side i passed all 22 of the trucks as they had slid off of the road into the ditch with some of them quite heavily damaged. I had no choice but to keep going because if I had tried to stop i would have also crashed due to the water on top of the ice. I called the State Troopers as soon as I got cellphone service to report the large number of trucks wrecked and in the ditch. As it was because of the severe weather the 160 miles between Anchorage and my parents home took me 13.5 hours. It's normally a 4 hour drive in winter. Allof tne impatient idiots that couldn't drive at a decent speed for the weather got the karma of wrecking their vehicles in the same 8 mile stretch of highway and it tok tne State Troopers 19 hours to rescue them. Some of the trucks were still in the ditch a month later when I drove back to Anchorage for a medical appointment.
12:51 I live somewhere where it doesn't snow that often, but I keep installing snow tires nonetheless. I'd say around 85-95% of people in the winter here don't have winter tires. I can safely drive much faster than everyone else (I'm originally from way up north so I have plenty of snow/ice driving experience and I know the limits of my car and tires). The closest I ever got into an accident was actually while waiting at a red light. The person behind me wasn't able to stop in time because they kept sliding with their all-seasons. I saw them approaching in the mirror and gave them more space.
There was one time when we had a terrible blizzard, and people in heavy 4x4s with all-seasons couldn't make it up a short inclined part of a street. I just breezed past in my front-wheel drive subcompact like it was nothing.
My dad used to be a cop and one of his favorite stories was people driving down the shoulder and he and his partner flagging them over into a parking lot and writing them tickets. Said he saw some of the same people 2-3 times.
There's a cop that hangs out in a certain area and pulls people over for doing that.
I was walking thru downtown atl years ago, i saw a group of sellers. The one dude tried to push his co worker only to fall instantly.
funny story, not sure if it’s karma but yk.
i have a best friend that used to steal a lot, and i mean every store they went to they stole. i went to a store with them and BEGGED them not to steal because my mom worked there and i didn’t want to get in trouble - yet they did it anyways. a few days later we hung out at my house and my mom told bsf to sit on the couch. they had a long, long talk about stealing especially at her store. they don’t steal as much but my mom definitely knocked some sense into them
Accused of being a potential robber for standing in a drive-thru area to use an ATM by a senior citizen in a van, told the bank tellers to call the cops. I walked into the bank and bank patrons told me to breathe and relax because I was upset. A few minutes later, the man in the van's bank business comes to a halt. He tried taking money from his wife's account without her there.
To hear him get mad about that was awesome.
The best instant karma on the road I've seen was in 2021. Mom and I came back from shopping, stopped at the intersection, and looked at the right side, if you go straight. A guy in his Audi 8 skipped a red light and didn't index, thinking no one noticed. However, a fancy colored car followed with the SIRENS ON, the police😂 We chuckled a good bit till we arrived home🤣
Peope who drive giant F-150's in the snow thinking that "i have big truck, i vsn drive snow good!" And ending up sliding into a ditch will always be hilarious.
Ill stick to my little slow 4x4 jeep thanks.
Not a ton of karma, but my wife and I were driving on a road trip where there was signs of construction miles ahead and to merge to the right lane. Bunch of jackasses were flying by in the left lane which made the right lane barely move. The guy ahead of us pulled into the left lane and kept pace with my wife and I. After a minute or two, everything started moving. We got to the spot to merge and we let him in. Selfish assholes slow traffic doing crap like this. Him blocking them made traffic move again.
The guy who blocked emergency vehicles should be barred from driving for life.
I work at a gas station, and it's on an intersection that goes from town to highway, there's a light for people going left, and going straight out of town.
This dude in a truck decided to illegally use our parking lot to skip the red light, he hit the next street to the left's red light ✨
Story 3: Why would that person make fun of a llama the llama didn’t do anything to anyone it’s just eating grass and loving life plus some llamas give you kisses (there’s a llama at the gentle barn named King who is an absolute character, my mom got some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen taken of a llama honestly and what I mean by “kisses” is he goes up to you and puts his nose near your face, it’s endearing as Frick and I love King to bits)
Also that instant karma was well-deserved plus the spit, fun fact is not spit, it’s stomach contents which makes the story even better😈
Plus llamas are ornery creatures and they don’t take kindly to being harassed, not to mention the fact that their kicks are lighting fast and are strong enough to break bone so yeah don’t mess with a llama…no scratch that don’t mess with any animal because they can and will show you who the boss is
ICU nurse here. If the dentures were loose in her mouth during a seizure, it would be better to try and remove them as they could obstruct her airway. If not, leave them alone! You could get your fingers bitten off for sticking your hand in the mouth of someone seizing. If in doubt, leave fingers out.
Story 7. I hand my Crocs stolen at an indoor water park. They were the only shoes I had with me and it was winter. I was not happy. I had to squeeze my 9 1//2 size feet into my friend’s size 7 sneakers. 😡
I have probably seen many instances of "instant karma", I happen to be able to remember none of them at this moment take that how you will.
In my experience, karma usually isn't instant. So you often see karma manifest upon a collective rather than specific individuals. Takes a while but you'll notice every group that has done bad things to others ends up in a pitiful position if you look at it the right way.
Collective punishment is illegal under the Geneva convention. The actions of an individual are not the actions of the group, and it is stupid to punish an entire group for the actions of one member.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 The law does not apply to fate and the course of history
Story 13.5 at 10:13
Dude looks around, rolls a nat 1 on his spot check, doesn’t see the cop, does illegal thing in front of cop. 🤦
For the first story. The cops usually set up near choke points going to and from major beaches for this exact reason. They fill major quotas bringing in tons of revenue for their area.
I used to go to LBI every year when I was little. Without fail EVERY year, the causeway to the island would have a cop trap because of all the congestion. We would normally pass 50+ cars that are waiting to be cited for taking an exit lane and trying to dip back into traffic in an IHOP parking lot just before the actual bridge onto the island started. You knew they were waiting for tickets as there were cones separating the parking lot between guests and the offenders.
My dad and i got caught in the trap once as we were exiting the IHOP parking lot onto that exit lane, a bit too far passed the dotted lines trying to merge back on. We got out of it after showing the receipt from the restaurant and stating we were just trying to get back on behind our other vehicles since we had 3 cars all together and this was before smart phones so only the lead car had a GPS.
Story 6. She ain't stupid for asking for help. Ladders can be dangerous (I should know. I made a mistake with one, it collapsed, and I wound up with two broken ribs).
Story 10. How about a year's jail for that jerk?
Story 19. Yes, that's good karma.
I love story number 4 because most people think that karma is only bad and im glad that some people think karma can be good and bad
One day, It was raining heavily.
I was walking down my street and a guy drives in from the main street.
Now, my street is one way. So five seconds later, the guy gets stopped by police that were driving directly behind him.
I am aggressively safe with crossing the street.. I am paranoid of something happening and either an asshole deciding to drive through when I have crosswalk right of way, I just wait for them to pass. If they are nice, they will stop. I figure, chances of getting hit are lower if the person sees me, slows down and specifically wait for me to cross.. I then run across cause I am paranoid of being still on the street and someone else decides to drive across. if a car is coming and they are close enough to me or even a distance, I don't trust my ability to cross the street and will wait. I tend to flip out when I see people just J-walk the street of cars without a care in the world. I wish I can just have balls like that but that shit terrifies me!
Running actually makes it worse, because you;re more likely to trip. Cars are a lot less likely to see you if you're down
@@OllieOxyn Which is why I wait till they slow down. I don't begin to cross the street till I see that they slow down. If they slow down chances are they are aware.. if I trip or were to, they should see me go down. I probably could sometimes go but I wait to see if there are NO cars anywhere AT ALL.. Told you.. I was aggressively paranoid safe. I see so many of these stories so I just wait. You are less likely to get hit if the car full on stops or makes the "go ahead" signal
You should make a compilation about Good karma
One day I was walking in the living room I was about to walk down the stairs backwards I wasn’t gonna do it do it. My mom said don’t do that you’re gonna trip and I said I haven’t tripped in my whole life. I’m 10 years old by the way and then karma came. I was walking down to Downstairs After I won a game of Fortnite with my papa, he lives downstairs. I walked little too fast. I tripped a little bit, But when I was done talking to my Papa, after we won the game, I said to my mom karma came
It was in a mocking tone when I said I would Tripped in my whole life
7:29 That guy that blocked the ambulance would probably go to puratory💀
I've been on that exact T bar lift! It really does take some balance to stay on, even for someone experienced.
not sure if it was karma or just a bad day, the first time I took a bus the driver stopped at his own house for about 15 minutes, which kinda creeped me out never having gone on the bus here before, and I missed my stop, so I got out when I realized and walked about half a mile to where my stop should have been, but during that walk I saw a little old lady trying to pull out of a parking lot, there were cars coming on both direction and I saw her looking both ways but she just seemed to stare right through me as she went to move not a second after I had cleared her car, she looked so apologetic and in shock I raised my hands but I wasn't actually upset, I get its hard to pay attention to everything happening, so I'm not sure what I had done to warrant such bad luck, but at least I wasn't too injured from the whole ordeal, just sore legs the next day from walking
So with seizures you don't want to go near the mouth and apart from making sure the heads protected you don't want to touch them till they stop seazing
Sourse will quote from my manual when i get home

Grocery stocking person, you did good. I do something very similar in high school. I worked for the vending program and that meant stocking the vending machines as well as running our medley very small, concession stand. We called the canteen, don’t ask. Understand that the food vending machine was at a very specific way. Chips went on the top two rows, I think it might be the same everywhere else in this beautiful country, I could be wrong and if you want to correct me and I am wrong, then I thank you for the correction. I am only about 5 feet tall, give or take an inch or so, depending upon the shoes I’m wearing. Normally I’m running around normal running shoes, so about an inch to an inch and a half over 5 feet. This was enough to get the first few bags into the slots, each slot or column if you will, had to have a minimum of six. at first I would stand on the very edge of the bottom of the vending machine to get one or two more bags up there. However, I was terrified of putting too much weight on it because I was afraid the top over onto me. Was it rational? I am not entirely sure, I just know that when I put my weight onto it, it would teeter and I did not like it was yelled at by the Director of the program, also the woodworking instructor, getting help. Largely ignored him, we were generally on good terms, his last name was Shaw. His sister was both a whole instructor and my swim coach, and she had known me for years. a pair of the few instructors of that godforsaken school that I actually liked in respect to the upmost. Not that they didn’t respect everyone else, I respect authority figures, they just earned continual respect maybe they were. Because from my mind it is, which would you rather? The vending machine fully loaded or me scaring myself half to death. I’ll take fully live vending machine thanks. Although, that is the reason why if food is not the food vending machine correctly it does aggravate me. But this sucking shelves also means that anytime I see an empty slot on the shelf, I am driven mildly nuts. Don’t know if it’s an OCD type thing or what,
I think if somebody blocks emergency vehicles like that (as in an intentional and stupid manner), then said person should be held accountable for injuries or deaths that were caused/worsened by the slower response time.
Mild karma story: I was at the doctor, sitting in the waiting room reading my book. Some lady came in, sat down, pulled out her kindle and proceeded to say “kindles are so much better than books. Once I got this, I never looked back” I didn’t even acknowledge her, I just kept reading. Not even 30 seconds later she says “oh. Don’t they have WiFi in here?” I ignored her, and kept reading- but I was laughing on the inside!
"Big Man McManson" is a term I need to incorporate into more conversations...
I think I know the person who wrote the first one because she told me about it in person. I don’t know, maybe she got it from Reddit or something
:D
A few years ago, near the end of middle school for me, my grandparents took me on a vacation. At some point, some guy in a blue pickup (who sounded like he had no muffler) passed us and approached two other cars ahead of us. The two other cars were in their own lanes and offset from each other (if you wanted to pass them, you still needed to wait for them to become more offset), and the blue pickup must have buttered his bumpers, since he was able to fit in between, but really cutting in front of the car further behind. Not one second passes before we hear a siren from a cop actively leaving a nearby parking lot. We passed the pickup not long after, stopped on the shoulder with the cop car behind.
Love the llama story 😂😂😂😂😂
It was really too good. When i heard, it spitted, i had to laugh already, but when i heard where it hit her, i was crying. 😂
Story 10. I thought emergency vehicles were allowed to push other vehicles off the road if they are blocking their way especially if said vehicles are in the emergency lane.
6:20 Ahem, i believe some people may take that out of context...

I have an instant karma story. I was picking on my little sister while walking home from school and I feel into one of ditches on the side of the road that helps the roads not flood. My little sisters laughed at me for the rest of our walk home. I was so embarrassed I didn’t say anything back. 😂

**Tells a wholesome story about following traffic laws**
**Casually drives on the left side of the road**
Full story
I used to work on British Rail, people seem to think it's ok to be verbally and physically abusive towards the staff.
I was about 18 years of age and I was working on the platforms, we had sent a train out and this very well to do couple arrived late and missed the train. Of course it was my fault they were late, and the abuse began.
The woman decided it was a direct insult to her, so slapped me around the face, screaming abuse about how fat and ugly I was. Just for the record, I was a size 14, 5′10 teenage girl who weighed about 11 stone.
When I began to distance myself, the man slammed me in to the train beside me and pinned me to the coach, he began to call me a fat slut etc. The woman slapped me again, then the man decided to do the same, all the time I'm holding down the transmitter button on my walkie talkie, so every member of staff could hear and was coming running.
The woman screamed at me “you'll never have a man, look at mine. He's got money and look. You're too fat and stupid to manage that “
The man slapped me again and demanded “are you married? Do you even have a boyfriend?”
Yes sir.
“Where is he then?” He screamed, “I'll rip his head off for having such a stupid, fat girlfriend?”
That's when a deep Cornish voice said “he's such standing right behind you…sir. With the police…sir. Touch my lady again.. sir. Just. Touch. Her.”
Yep, my 6′5 and a half, Cornish co-worker boyfriend was standing directly behind them.
They were arrested and charged with common assault. From what I was told, it didn't go down too well with the trading floor he worked on, and he lost his job.
EDIT: I’ve just got off the phone to Wayne (the ex). He’s totally gobsmacked by all the comments and says to pass on that he wishes he had gotten to the guy alone too!
He says to tell you all that the man went a kinda sickly greeny white colour and looked like he was going to throw up, and Wayne had real trouble to keep a straight face, but he’s a gentle giant (he is) and wouldn’t have hurt him “Just scared him really REALLY badly!”
Yes, we are still best of friends
OMG when it comes to story 20 do I just started it but the fact that they mentioned Foxwoods that is won the few casinos near me. There’s only three Foxwoods Trenton river. And Mohegan Sun for kids away the area I live in if it doesn’t I’m from Rhode Island can’t wait to see what happens.

Really enjoy your channel
I actually like the word princess for its sheer flexibility. You could use it as an insult for people who are lazy, self important, ignorant, etc. Or you could use it to describe someone you genuinely care about. I don't think the boss used it right, tho, unless he was intentionally willing the instant karma scenario. "Haha, don't be ! This is how you do it!"
For me it’s specifically a female term. It could’ve simply been replaced with prince or royalty but no they used princess
@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012 It is traditionally, but when used as an insult, anything can lose its gender link. Like people call each other "bitch" all the time, regardless of gender, despite it's official meaning.
When using it to describe someone you care about, that probably would have to be female, though.
To me, emergency vehicles should have every right to get to an emergency scene no matter what has to be done. If someone pulls in front of an emergency vehicle while lights and sirens are on the emergency vehicle should be allowed to push the car back.
How do people not know how to use ski lifts (t bars) its extremely simple people!
about the seizure story:
seizures usually last pretty short. something under 30sec to maybe a bit over a minute, with extreme cases lasting a bit over 2min max, as far as i know.
so chances are it was already over by the time he reached the person.
well, i only know about epileptic seizures but that seems to fit here.
the denture removal and stable side position can only be done once its over.
because during a seizure all muscles in the body (or just a certain section in some cases) are tensed up to the max.
so you can't remove dentures because either the mouth is shut tight or if you have your fingers in the mouth while the seizure starts affecting the head muscles, your fingers are definitely bitten off, almost guaranteed.
and the stable side position is impossible to accomplish during a seizure because the patient is shaking and flailing wildly and trying to force them into any position is only causing damage, to both the helper and the patient.
the muscle tension is so high in fact that it is possible the bones break from the force.
as such, any intervention to help the patient is ill-advised, besides putting something under the head to stop it from banging against the ground.
other than that the only direct help you can do is moving objects away from the flailing range and, well, call for help.
after the seizure is over though, the measures described in the story are correct.
the stable side position to prevent the patient from suffocating on spit, vomit or their tongue.
the denture removal to prevent the patient from swallowing it and getting it stuck in the air-pipe.
and having the other person stay with the patient for safety and emotional support until help comes.
the only thing i could add would be asking the other person if the patient has any medicine for such cases. though administrating them should only be done by professionals. depending on the country you can get in serous trouble if medical complication happen after you administer anything without a license, emergency or not.
4WD in snow is really helpful. You can get going quicker and turn easier. But when it comes to stopping you're the same as everybody else. No friction, no stop.
if you block an emergancy vehicle put them on a list and the next time they need emergency services they don't get it, keep a tally like oh shit john that's no ems for 3 calls that sucks
Fun fact: Ants CANT be microwaved! they're too smol for the Microwaves in the Microwave to be Microwaved
That cannot possibly be true, because microwaves work bu vibrating the water molecules inside of things. Molecules are much, much smaller than ants.

Microwaves are pretty damn big so ants (if lucky) can exist in safespots and not get turned into a Not-As-Alive ant

Him getting t-boned and crushed by a car car slowly dieing while watching as the paramedics save him last. Crippling him for the rest of his life due to his own stupidity.
Is that too far for stopping and emergency vehicle trying to help people?
16:12 - Guys never hold anyone who is having a seizure in place, it can cause a lot of harm to the body and everyone else around it, instead make sure the head is laying on something soft and that there isn't anything around that can hurt the person if they bump into it while having the seizure. Also I don't know much about dentures, but if they hold onto place without slipping out I wouldn't see it as any harm, but while a person is unconscious they might swollow their own tongue, which you want to make sure won't happen as this will prevent breathing and soon there won't be any oxygen in the brain. But having op put them in recovery position was a really good thing, as this first of all makes sure swollowing your own tounge isn't a huge risk and also if you were to puke it wouldn't just go straight to your lungs and kill you, but rather it exciting through your mouth.
Edit: Know that I am not a medical proffesonal and if you have any questions make sure to ask a professional. Also I have done multiple first aid courses and just completed an offisial CPR course about 2-3 months ago (I was actually gonna apply for an instuctor cource but I didn't have time that weekend and couldn't go, which means I couldn't become an instructor sadly, but I'll have a chance in probably 1-2 years time), I also take part in training for rescue "missions" (primaraly in the mountain, also don't know if mission would be the correct word in this instance), and when I turn 18 I am thinking about joining search missions.
Still, with all of this training I AM NOT A PROFFESONAL AND DONT TAKE ALL I SAY AS FACTS, I MIGHT BE WRONG IN SOME PART, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ASK A PROFFESONAL
Big man McManson 🤣 i’m just going to yoink that and use that if you don’t mind
Hindering emergency vehicles is actually a criminal offense in Germany and I guess in many other European countries. You are obligated to allow them to pass if you can do so safely. This can involve driving into the walkway, the shoulder or somewhere else to make way. If they think you willingly avoided an obvious and safe maneuver they can get you for encumbering emergency services. Also, not stopping at the sight of an accident when it's not clear if they already got help is an offense. Obviously no one is forced to do hands on first aid but one is obligated to at least call emergency services. Not helping a person in need goes further as it involves walking past a helpless person etc.
If you help you are safeguarded from getting into trouble.
Also... People that can be expected to do more than just a phone call (doctors, nurses, EMTs) are obligated to do more and a basic first aid certificate is mandatory for getting ones drivers license.
About cars using the shoulder, I witnessed such a car driving quite fast on the shoulder to skip a trafic jam. And a few cars forward, another driver suddenly had the same idea; he engaged on the shoulder right at the moment the other car passed: they crashed and both cars were totalled. Instant karma for two bad drivers.
YESS, A VID! love it lol, get karma'd (idk how to spell lol)
