Any good CF comeuppance tales?

[lolliplop]

As i'm currently going through the most mind-blowing CF situation, and waiting for the courts to open a case against them, please can you point me in the direction to the best CF threads where they got their comeuppance. This will hopefully give me some reassurance that CFs don't always get away with it!

Not a thread but I’ll share mine.

I was a marshall for a road race and standing at the top of a closed road. Mr CF didn’t think the road closure applied to him, so stopped, swore at us, then floored it past the sign. Hitting the curb as he swerved round it and bursting his tyre 🫠

What he didn’t know was the road really was completely blocked further up so he had to turn round and limp back past us on his flat tyre. We waved him through with a cheery ‘Morning sir!’ 🤣🤣

Fabulous, just fabulous

Look up mexican house thief on the classics.

So I was at the start of the causeway that leads to Lindisfarne and we’d clearly arrived a little early, the water was most of the way in. We moved to one side to wait for it to clear. A driver saw us stopped, he paused, then drove straight onto the causeway. He got stuck about thirty feet in, clearly realised he’d bitten off more than his car could chew, and reversed back to where we were waiting, much to our amusement.

I've told this one before, it's not really a CF more of an arsehole. My then husband was berating me, witheringly, for walking carefully on ice. He mansplained that if you are confident and walk normally you will actually (a word he did like to make good use of) be much safer than walking carefully. This was before the days of the walk like a penguin ads but I had got to the age I was by being said careful.

We were heading along a slight slope and he was barging on ahead, as usual, when he confidently walked on the ice and, lo, down he went. On his way to the ground he proceeded to cross his forearms across his chest and roll over a few times like a pound shop James Bond.

An old school mum friend of mine was in a long term relationship with a bloke

Her blokes grandad was very sadly going to die within a week as he'd been very ill for months-it sounds awful but they'd arranged the funeral and it was 'when' and not 'if' this man was going to die

His sister had got the family together to say goodbye,all where stood,weeping and saying their goodbyes when my friend pipes up 'when he's actually dead,can I have his car?'

She couldn't understand why the whole family turned on her and started yelling at her

She didn't get the car and the family where 'bloody unreasonable' as she couldn't afford to buy herself one

Husband had a 6-week emotional affair ten years ago, followed by a shag with the OW in a cheap hotel, before breaking down and confessing. Not excusing him for taking her up on her numerous offers (over 2 previous years) at all, but I've long harboured a massive grudge against her as she knew me and knew I was struggling with 2 x under 4s at the time, one with SN.

Anyway, a friend works with her still and I just found out she has left her husband for a man with 13 struck off companies to his name, who runs 'how to be a proper man' coaching courses called something along the lines of 'Act Like A Spartan', and who posts on LinkedIn about his massive passive income from AI-related schemes (despite living in a small bungalow - maybe he's saving up for something?). Oddly, he still lists himself as MD of all the collapsed companies, too... Basically he's a massive con-man with a silver tongue. Looks like karma has not only come back to bite her, but it's got a grip like a starving Jack Russell. I'm getting the popcorn in.

This one is more than 30 years ago. There was a short cut to and from school to the bus stop through Waitrose car park.

One day - I was in 6th form so didn't wear uniform but was still obviously very young - was heading to bus stop. Bloke in his 30s came out of waitrose loaded with 2 shopping bags, staring/leering at me. Walked straight into a lamppost so hard he fell over backwards. He picked himself and his shopping up, all the eggs had broken and were dripping out of one bag. He had the good grace to mutter "well that served me right" as I rushed past.

In my experience though, CFs don't get comeuppance as often as they should. They just go and CF somewhere else once their original victims are exhausted.

@lolliplopAre you prohibited from sharing the details?

Howling at pound shop James Bond 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think the op is looking for actual real stories,.not tall tales😆😆

Even bearing all that in mind, he sounds more of a catch than your husband.

Not prohibited. When my Dad returned to the UK from a European country due to ill health, he left some 'friends' as caretakers of the family property, they were in the guest house. My Dad has since died and they refuse to leave. We're in the process of evicting them, which takes years. I've since discovered they've been using his identity for utility accounts. And that they've moved into the main house, and sublet the guest house to other people. They've installed caravans on the land so no idea who else they've let live there. I've now involved the police in that country, but again, that could take years. Or they could say its just a civil matter. The waiting for any news is very stressful. I just want them to be held accountable and that my family can get justice.

Similar thing happened to a friend when they were marshalling a race, except it was a woman, who attempted to run him over, not knowing that there was a police car just behind her ...

Husband really put in the work immediately after confessing, and is actually a much better man / better husband than before it happened. If that hadn't been the case, I'd be happily divorced. He didn't get away with things, believe me.

Except he did get away with it - no CF comeuppance for him

Also I dont think they really got any "comeuppance" as such did they? Iirc they got kicked out of the house halfway through their holiday so had to pay for a few nights in a hotel but they would have had to do that anyway if they'd gone away normally - they'd still had multiple free holidays out of it before being found out so were quids in overall!

Well, I think having to live on a friend's sofa for six months with very limited access to your children while you prove you're worth bothering with is a decent consequence. Plus there was more than that, but I'm not really sure why I'm being picked apart and having to justify myself. People always say 'I would never take them back...' but you don't know till it happens to you. It's like saying 'I would never kill...' then hearing a burglar attacking a family member in your kitchen in the middle of the night. You just never know what you'll do until it happens.

Jesus. You could start a thread about this and probably get some really useful advice from those familiar with the law in that country?

Why on earth would you restrict your children from seeing their dad as ‘punishment’ to your husband when it affects your children? Thats appalling. Weaponising your poor children

I truly feel sorry for you, this is embarrassing cope. She fucks unpleasant, gross men, that's her choice, she's probably as happy as a pig in shit and she has definitely gotten away with her part in your husband's gross choices.

Just like your husband has.

I was hoping you might have said "But then, after I booted him out, his dick rotted off and he lost his job".

Instead, you're miserable, living with a man you feel normal and understandable resentment towards, and you know about just one of the women he fucked, but as you know they never just fuck one. And of curse i wasn't ever just an emotional affair, he was screwing her the whole time.

And you are still absolutely fixated on her life while she has likely forgotten you exist.

You should have just kicked him out. Liars gonna lie.

But since you chose to tolerate his horrible, unforgiveable choices, you need to find a way to stop fixating on her and move on.

What a bummer on an otherwise fun thread.

The only bummers on the thread are the people who think someone else's tale is an opportunity to pick their lives apart because they didn't make the choices you feel they ought to have.

I'm sure OP has already got advice from lawyers in the relevant country. Asking for legal advice on MN always gets replies from people who know nothing about the law but happily pontificate about what they think should happen.

Nope, it's absolutely a bummer reading about a woman who's husband is a creepy, lying arsehole yet she is fixated on one of the women he fucked, ten years after he fucked her. It's just sad and I do pity her.

This.
The posters giving @ThisMadeMyDay should be ashamed of themselves.
