To the ass who almost hit me head-on on my bike, while he cut the corner, and then proceeded to yell at me for being in the wrong lane, when it was he who was definitely in the wrong.
And to the other ass who stole my bike last night from in front of my house. It was the love-of-my-life bike that you won’t get much more than $20 for. Good luck. Thanks for ruining my birthday you bum. Karma will find you. —Birthday Bicycle Blues

I’m sorry, but *what* about this person? Seems like you’re missing the rest of this sentence.

lulz
Right. Karma is bullshit. It makes me laugh that the only way some people can make it through the day is by thinking the Universe is going to strike dead or cripple every person who doesn’t hold the door for us at the Supermarket, steps on our new-polished shoes, or dings our car and doesn’t leave a note.
I beleive in Karma, or I guess I believe that what goes around comes around I don’t think it’s some magical force that goes around righting wrongs but I just think that’s how the world works. You shit on people you’ll eventually get shit on.
I hate those corner-cutting drivers! I can’t even count the number of times I’ve tried to turn right onto North from Gladstone after going to Sobeys, and the traffic is backed up so someone on North who’s turning left onto Gladstone feels like they can pass all of the cars by driving into on-coming traffic.
Tommy, everyone gets shit on, no matter what you do.
It’s Magical Thinking to believe the Universe will pay or dock you for your actions.
Now, if you go around bad mouthing someone and they find out and you get shit, that’s not karma. It’s someone paying you back for being a dick.
I hope you’re right…
I found a fiver on the street yesterday in the gutter in the rain….
in FAIRVIEW no less.
beats the shit outta me but I must have been pretty good lately to have karma empty her pocket for little ol’ me in skeezyville.
Maybe social assistance went up? — I heard on the news the other day that someone in fairview got arrested for possession and usage of a hand gun… must be more money on their cheques if they can afford the ammo.
I don’t believe in karma or the whole “karma’s a bitch” cliche. I’ve seen too many people get a shitty fucking deal and too many shitty people have all the luck in the world.
I think everything happens for a reason, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good reason.
Either that or some people were shitty fucking assholes in past lives to get the bum deal they’re getting in the here and now.
if situation/snooky/gaga/kardashians/paris are any indication….
Karma’s been on a bender for the last decade.
Who’s selling Karma all the 8-balls?!?!?!!??
it is what it is ms kitty. shit happens, sometimes we bring it on, other times it’s just the universe moving around. karma is three dogs
People wear their sins on their face and in their body movement. My G-Ma always said that and now I know she was right!
the one who stole your bike, was probly the same dude that almost dinged you. and he heard about this bitch, via e.s.p., and said fuck you. think i’ll steal the bike, so he won’t be nailed next time. either that, or this karma whatevver, is doing you a favor, to keep you from getting run over?
when i drive, there is a pletora of assholes around, thinking they have invisible sheilds to protect them, guess what, you don’t. and getting a ton or more of metal out of your ass, can be a real tricky job. also, i hear they have a bikes for crack deal going on, in gottengin street.
My mom, the eternal pessimist (you’d like her, zed. heh) always says there are two groups of people in this world: those who could fall into a bucket of shit and still come out smelling like a rose and those who are always a day late and a dollar short.
I know what category PK fits into! The day STARTS out great and then BAM she gets kicked in the proverbial balls.
I hope everyone’s day was as ‘wonderful’ as mine turned out to be!
Tuesdays suck and the universe can bite me.
and if the universe is busy kitty, you can call the suckster. i nibble more than bite, but i guess that helps too.
Sorry about your luck and on your birthday of all things. I agree some people on bicycles think they are invincible and don’t drive safely for themselves and others. But I also don’t lump everyone into one category. So just because you are driving a bicycle doesn’t mean I assume it was your fault. As you said, he was in the wrong. There seem to be a lot of negative comments on your post which is kinda sad. It just goes to show there are people in the world out there that will steal your bike from your bike yard, cut you off in traffic without a car, and kick you while your down with negative comments.
Good luck and take care. Hope you have a happy birthday. I do not think that you were some horrible person in a past life that deserved this happening to you. I do not think because you are a bicyclist that it was automatically your fault in traffic. I do not think that Karma will necessarily wipe everyone’s mistakes away. But it would be nice for all those assholes out there to get whats coming to them.
OB…karma did happen, it just got back at you for being such an ass in your last life !
So try to be a little nicer in this one .

LOL….a $20 bike. What kind of piece of shit is that? The dude’s car is worth far more.
Some things have more value than just monetary value. There is also a feeling of violation when someone steals something that belongs to you. Especially from your property.
