The universe works in mysterious ways.
We’ve all watched as bad things happen to good people, or good things happen to bad
people seemingly without reason.
It never seems fair, but sometimes the wheel turns and people who made terrible choices
are served the most unusual and satisfying forms of justice you could imagine.
Ready to take a look?
Let’s get it on!
You always need to be careful about the way you say things.
For example, if you’re doing something obviously dumb and you want to defend your actions with
no facts, maybe don’t say it with too much confidence.
Especially not if you’re on live TV like these two.
The universe will bite you.
In case you’re wondering, they claimed that the heaps of snow falling all around them
made for the perfect jogging weather, even though everyone knows it’s not.
So the universe quickly corrected the balance, before any naive viewers took their word for
If you’re thinking of stealing, I have some advice for you - nobody likes thieves.
You’re bound to mess up, and nobody will have sympathy.
Don’t believe me, take a look at this guy getting the biggest wedgie of his life.
He hung himself up like a piece of meat right in front of the cops.
He had no hope, and everyone loves it.
See what I mean?
Not an ounce of sympathy - everyone is just joyously laughing at his embarrassment.
You won’t get away with crime kids!
It’s best not to take things for granted.
You might be able to get a lot out of something, but don’t milk it.
Everything has its limit.
This boy’s first mistake was trying to look cool, but his biggest mistake was trying to
take advantage of his new phone cover.
There’s no way that cover ever claimed to be able to protect his phone even if he hits
it with a hammer.
At most, it would’ve claimed to be shock resistant, but anyone who’s ever used a
hammer on a nail will tell you that it’s more powerful than just dropping something.
He knows that now.
Unfortunately people often do horrible things, but sometimes they’re immediately punished.
In Japan, some people take part in a questionable pastime - they eat live octopus.
They don’t seem to know though that it’s really dangerous, and not just for the octopus.
This girl got off lightly actually - far worse things have happened to other people who tried
this.
But what happened to her is much more funny.
Never underestimate the power of nature, animals have abilities we could never dream of, and
they can use them to mess up your face.
As an adult, you have to take responsibility for your actions, even if it’s just to avoid
the moment the universe decides to teach you that lesson in a powerful way.
This guy made a mistake.
Then he decided to take out his frustrations on his perfectly innocent skateboard.
We’ll never know why - it obviously wasn’t the board's fault and nobody even seemed to
notice anyway.
What he does to that skateboard is a serious overreaction.
We’ll never know if it was the universe or the board that dished out this justice,
but is pretty spectacular.
There are some phrases that you can’t avoid in life - like patience is a virtue.
It’s the kind of thing grandparents say to young kids.
Nobody takes these life lessons seriously enough, but you really should.
You never know when your impatience is going to be punished, but this girl will tell you
it’s always worse than you think.
She should never have tried to kick a key into a lock clearly blocked with ice.
It was always going to be her key that breaks instead of the ice.
If you’re dumb enough to steal someone’s laptop, the least you can do is check that
they’re not a computer genius.
This guy didn’t bother to find out, and look what happened to him.
He stole this laptop from Mark Bao, a viral mastermind if you can call him that.
Basically, Bao knew how to access the files of his stolen laptop from another computer
via a remote access software he’d installed.
But better than stumbling across any work related file or photo, was this video.
In the ultimate revenge, Mark uploaded it to YouTube for the world to see.
It’s like the thief made the video just to make himself look even more stupid.
You know all that intense planning you always have to watch in the middle of a heist movie?
It’s there for a reason - the key to a successful heist is information.
This guy made the mistake of thinking he didn’t need information.
The plan was simple, just put on the gold chain and run away before anyone can catch
you.
But he was missing a vital piece of intel: lots of jewellery stores have doors that lock
automatically.
If he’d known that, he would never have been forced to give the chain back like a
naughty child who had to apologise to his mom, which is actually even worse than getting
arrested.
We all have moments where pride gets the better of us and we start insisting that we don’t
need help even though we clearly do.
This video shows the worst possible moment for pride to kick in.
There’s no good reason to try to wheel someone’s expensive, brand new appliance up a drive
all on their own, without just waiting for their colleague to come help.
It would’ve meant standing still for about 3 seconds.
Surely anyone can afford to wait that long.
On the bright side, he’ll never try that again after causing this disaster.
Sometimes people do such weird things that the whole world stops to wonder what they
were thinking.
This girl is the queen of those people.
Why would she try to sit on a garbage can in the first place?
Why did she do it like she thought it would make her look cool?
And if she wanted to sit on a garbage can, why would she choose one that spins?
These are questions that we’ll never know the answer to, but at least we know what kind
of consequences there are for all those things.
All thieves deserve any kind of universal justice that can be dished out to them, especially
if that justice is also something that gives the rest of us a good laugh.
The owner of this store was tired of being burgled, so he decided to set a clever trap
to catch anyone who thought of breaking in.
Now he didn’t need to worry if a thief found a way to get into his locked store, because
they wouldn’t be able to get out.
This guy picked on the wrong store.
Watching his useless attempts to escape the hall of justice has got to be the best form
of entertainment ever.
I’ll bet there are loads of you watching this who’ve dropped coffee all over their
laptop.
But we just never learn that you need to check where you’re putting your cup when you’re
near expensive machinery.
And no, it doesn’t matter how expensive.
You can be standing next to the most expensive machine you can get - like this Rolls Royce
- and you’ll still manage to put your cup in exactly the wrong place and it will definitely
spill all over everything.
Those are just the laws of nature and we need to accept them.
We all know that fire is exciting.
People don’t care how dangerous it is, we just love it.
So it can be tempting to use it to attract customers to your restaurant like moths to
a flame.
But before you try that, take a moment to remember that we designed machines so we have
something logical that will stop us from making poor life choices.
The expensive fire system that was installed in this guy’s restaurant knows: fires need
to be put out, so it puts it out regardless of who’s playing with it or why.
It’s a flawless system.
Just so you’re prepared, I’ll tell you now that you’ll never understand what’s
happening in this video, but don’t worry, you’ll love it.
Why would this man feel the need to attack a traffic light?
It’s anyone’s guess.
But it doesn’t matter - you already know it’s an overreaction.
Luckily, that traffic light doesn’t like temper tantrums.
It taught this man a valuable lesson that will definitely improve the lives of everyone
who has to live with him.
Children can sometimes get away with throwing temper tantrums, even though nobody around
them likes it.
But people who take that annoying habit with them into adulthood usually find themselves
in trouble with the universe.
Here’s the perfect example: this coach was immediately punished for an adult tantrum
by falling over while kicking a ball.
It’s got to be the most humiliating way for a football coach to fall over.
Even worse than falling over nothing.
Still, we’re allowed to laugh at him because he clearly deserved that.
