This is why I don't believe that karma exists, or that anything good can ever happen to me.
Last week while sitting at the car wash waiting for Vicki's car to be waxed, I found a credit card on the ground. I knew it couldn't have been more then 10 minutes since the person dropped it so I could have run wild with it...or at least bought myself a tank of gas. Stupid me, I turned it in to the gas station. I even put up a quick missed connections and lost/found post on craigslist. Vicki said she was proud of me for not being an asshole and that karma would pay me back.
Karma got me back alright, by kicking me in the nuts.
I was looking over my balances yesterday and noticed that I was a little off. Come to find out that someone on Thursday made 4 purchases with my card on Steam, Valve Software's distribution engine. Awesome. So I spend the next few hours going over all my accounts and all their details and closing my compromised cards. What a fucking hassle.
This isn't the first time that karma has screwed me over. About 10 years ago I was working in a deli. Management was SO stupid there that one day they "lost" one cash registers drop...about $2,000. Well, I found it in the dirty apron pocket. And turned it in. The next day, I totaled my car.
I've learned my lesson. Next time I have an opportunity to screw someone over for my own benefit, you better believe that I'm taking that chance and not looking back. Fuck you karma.
