That moment when karma strikes in full force because you said you didn’t believe in it. In psychology we talked about the “just-world phenomenon”; the idea that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. Well, let me tell you…I must have done something REALLY bad. Or it might simply be because I said I do not agree with that theory. Because bad things can happen to “good” people and good things can happen to “bad” people. Am I right? Yes, I am.
Karma Count 1: Got stuck in traffic for 10 miles on my way to school. This made me late for class. Yay.
Karma Count 2: Got out of classes and began to drive to orientation for my new job. And guess what? Traffic time! Again. Apparently there was a wreck and police cars and fire trucks were blocking the highway. So a friendly cop directed me right to a 15 mile detour. I really considered parking my car on the highway and walking to my destination…..it was literally right down the road. But I didn’t. I continued on in my un-air conditioned car in the 76 degree weather. Faced with following half the population of Springfield down a seemingly endless road.
Karma Count 3: Due to the traffic and detours, I was 30 minutes late to my orientation. That is one heck of a way to start a new job! Show up, nice and early; letting them know that you are a prompt and responsible individual. *rolls eyes*
Karma Count 4: After finishing orientation I headed home. As I get to the exit for my house (15 miles away) I get a call asking me to come back because they accidentally forgot to copy my driver’s license. Then I turn around and join the traffic, yet again. My luck? I get stuck next to a semi filled with horses. Anyone who knows me will tell you that animals, especially ones that smell anything like a farm, are NOT my thing. I had bad childhood experiences that I wish not to recount because they were just too traumatic.
Karma Count 5: Cut my hands open when my umbrella broke in the middle of a downpour. I didn’t even realize it until a profuse number of bandages were needed. -_-
Best. Day. Ever. Has “karma” ever come to bite you? Watch your back, everyone….very, very closely.
