Have you ever treated someone bad only to have it come back and bite you?

Asked by chyna (51628points) August 31st, 2011

Inspired by this thread, have you ever treated an ex-boss or a co-worker bad, even if they deserved it, only to find they have come back into your life at a later date and been in a position over you? Or you walk into an interview and they are the interviewer? You get the drift. The whole “don’t burn your bridges” saying.

I’m still waiting for my good kharma to kick in.

Just the ordeal with my ex-wife. I tried to be the bigger person, but a few times I wanted to childishly get back at her, and I did, but it came back. I still wonder sometimes if her bad deeds came back to her. I hope they did!

@Blackberry I’m with you on that. Don’t you wish you could be there to see them come back or at least to hear of them?

Me and my best friend had a huge fight a couple of years back, and we were really nasty to each other. Everyone knows everything that happened and some people just refuse to associate with either of us since then. We have forgiven each other, but it is harder for people who saw it first hand to believe that we have changed. I know people who have flat out told her that they aren’t willing to be her friend because they would be afraid of her doing the horrible things she did to me to them. I have heard the same. I think it is reasonable for them to be wary, but it is saddening that things that happened so long ago would still be affecting my life.

@chyna Definitely. She tried to contact me a few times months and years later, but I ignored her because I was afraid she may have a motive lol.

If I ever did, I’m still waiting for the fallout. Anyone I have ever became cross threaded with had it coming for a long time. I tend to put up with a lot of BS before it causes me to do something to them. I guess if I was an abrupt asshole with this ilk I would have a little less conflict to deal with later but then again I can honestly say I’ve not been in a situation like that very many times.
