You can't fault people for their resourcefulness. But you can blame them for when their innovation is a patently stupid idea. Some ideas become OSHA enraging safety fails while others become low budget DIY solutions. It's kind of up in the air, really.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about people that they saw face karmic justice in the end. Seeing someone who wronged you end up getting theirs in the end has an uncanny knack for melting the heart. It's like the universe recognizes their BS behavior, and decides to intervene. Or, their luck just runs out. 

It's quick little tales like this that manage to temporarily restore our faith in humanity.

Oh yes, they did, and they did so when it came at zero benefit to them. That's the selfless kindness that the world needs. Plus, picturing Karen's face when she continued to witness someone else actively offsetting her toxic antics. 

As someone in the comments pointed out; the only thing that's more freaking awesome than seeing someone stick it to an organization like the HOA, is seeing someone stick it to the dang government! This farmer handled their situation beautifully. Job well done. 

Bullies are the worst. This particular scenario involving a class bully has that sweet, fairytale ending though. The bully gave their classmate a hard time for a monologue that took quite a bit of courage to present to the rest of the class. The thing is, the bully very clearly took a shortcut on their own book report, and only watched the movie. So, their classmate asked just the kind of question that exposed the bully's cheating to the rest of the class. Everyone just needs to play nice.

Man, this step dad sounds like a real nasty piece of work. What kind of guy tricks his kid out of a perfectly fine laptop? Fortunately, the kid kept his wits about him, and managed to enact a true pro revenge in response. Just picturing the way that that step dad's jaw must've hit the ground when he saw the kid take that "broken" car for a joy ride around the block, is enough to make the heart swell in deep appreciation. It's also a beautiful car!
