I found a way to punish a careless driver who made me late for an important appointment, only to find karma waiting for me with the same lesson! One day, I was driving my son Liam to a crucial doctor’s appointment when we got stuck behind a car parked in the middle of the road. The driver was nowhere to be found.
Frustrated, I left Liam in the car and searched for the driver. After 25 minutes, I found him casually sipping coffee in a café. I confronted him, but he shrugged it off, saying, “I needed my coffee.” His indifference infuriated me.
As we argued, a cyclist knocked him over, spilling hot coffee on him. He cried out in pain, his arrogance replaced by pleas for help. Despite my anger, I helped him into my car and drove him to the hospital along with Liam.
Once there, I moved his car to a no-parking zone, hoping it would be towed. After Liam’s appointment, I returned to find my car towed instead.
Realizing karma had struck, I took the ticket with a resigned smile. I learned a valuable lesson in humility that day. Life, with its twists and turns, has a funny way of teaching us to be humble. As I hugged Liam and headed home in a cab, I chuckled at the absurdity of it all.
