Sometimes, karma comes back to haunt you sooner than you expect. Although we usually imagine it as something that comes with time, there are times when “divine justice” decides not to wait. These small but very satisfying stories show how karma has struck at the right moment.

1. When you try to be smart, but karma is smarter than you

“A man cut me off in line at the supermarket. When I told him I was in line, he just shrugged and ignored me. When he saw the cashier next to him call out “next line,” he ran over with all the enthusiasm in the world. A few seconds later, the cashier ran off to another job, leaving him waiting. Meanwhile, I finished shopping and left the store, while he still stood there, confused.”

2. Do good and it will come back to you double.

"In a chaotic traffic jam in Orlando, a man was trying to get into my lane. I let him in without a problem. When I got to the parking lot, I discovered that he had paid for my ticket. Karma is sometimes beautiful!"

3. When someone plays a trick on you, but the universe doesn't let it go

“During a group project, a girl secretly moved my chair and I fell to the ground. She laughed out loud… but as she sat down in her chair, one of the plastic legs broke and she ended up on the ground. Well, sometimes karma doesn’t have to wait long!”

4. When you become arrogant, but karma puts you in the right place

“A boy contemptuously rejected a girl who asked him to his prom, making the rejection as public as possible. A little later, he asked one of the most popular girls in school out, who said “no” in a spectacular way in front of everyone. He didn’t give up and tried with another girl, this time making a giant proposal with flowers and dramatic gestures. She just looked at him and walked away without saying anything. Twice in a row? That’s karma in action.”

5. When you try to make others feel bad, but discover a truth that burns you.

“My wife’s older sister always tried to hint that she was pregnant before we got married. When I took up genealogy and prepared a book with important family dates, she read it and turned pale. Why? Because her parents’ marriage date and her birth date showed that she was born only 6 months after the wedding. From that moment on, she never bothered my wife about this topic again.”

6. When you think you're smarter than the traffic rules, but the police are there

“An impatient driver sped ahead, cutting me off at an intersection, only to have a car ahead of him in the convoy. The problem? He did this right in front of a police officer who was stopped at a red light. Within seconds, sirens were blaring and he was stopped. As I continued on my way, I couldn’t help but smile.”

So here are some amazing examples of karma that wasted no time in getting its act together. If you ever feel like someone has thrown you off the hook, don't worry - the universe has its ways of balancing things out!
