Instant Karma (ain’t she a bitch?)

Today, despite my busy day, I heard on the radio about a man who not only got caught by Instant karma once, but, in fact, 3 times – all because he was stupid – and didn’t simply quit, tempting fate. IMHO, if you get caught by instant karma, quit while you’re ahead… (or is it behind?)

Butt-flashing boozer dragged 200 metres while stuck to train
Published: 12 Oct 09 12:41 CET

A drunk young man was dragged 200 metres after pressing his bare buttocks to a departing train window to insult a ticket inspector who had just thrown him off, police reported on Monday.

The Article then goes on to say:

He and his 23-year-old friend were travelling on a Metronom train from Hamburg to Bremen when the train inspector caught them smoking and travelling without tickets.

The female train attendant forced them to put out their cigarettes out and gave them the choice to buy tickets or get off the train at Lauenbrück train station. Several witnesses confirmed that the men got off the train.

In an apparent protest against the train staff, the 22-year-old pulled down his pants and pressed his bare buttocks against the window of the departing train.

For reasons the police have yet to determine, he was dragged along, fell between the train and the platform and wound up 150 metres past the platform.

By my count, this guy got instant karma – not once – but (ha ha) 3 times:

  • 1) No ticket and smoking on the train (getting caught)
  • 2) Arguing with the inspector (kicked off train)
  • 3) Mooning the inspector (getting pants caught and dragged behind -LOL -the train)

    Sometimes, Life’s a bitch, and Instant Karma Even more so….
    Oh – and if you didn’t already – check out the picture with the article – it’s a picture of the train, and if you look in the little upper left hand corner, there’s the sign that is posted on all platforms – of the train and the little stick figure in peril of being run over….

    Yes, folks, he didn’t pay attention to those signs either (does that make Instant Karma x 4 since he didn’t heed the warning signs?)
