       Don't Mess With a Witch - or, Let's Talk About Karma

       Who has Karma stories to share?
       Here's one, Dani and I were just commenting on the other day.
       There was (notice the past tense) a small auto repair shop up
       the street from me.  Last year, the week before APPD in fact, my
       van was having issues, and we decided to take it over to this
       shop instead of our usual place.  Big mistake on our part, by
       the way.  The guy said he'd have it done by Wednesday, and I
       didn't end up getting it until Friday.  I called and visited
       several times, because I needed it back to haul everything to
       Pagan Pride.  The proprietor ended up getting very hostile, and
       threatened to call the police if we called or came back - while
       he still had our vehicle!  Needless to say, once we got it we
       NEVER went back, and of course, told everyone about our
       experience.  (Not to mention, he, or his employee, failed to
       tighten the bolts right, and we had to go to our usual mechanic
       anyway to figure out what was wrong.)
       Not long afterward, the mechanic up the street closed his doors.
       I don't know the reasoning, exactly, but I can't help but feel
       he had it coming.
       This other one is really Dani's, but I'm going to share it
       anyway:
       Dani and a friend had scheduled to go for tattoos at a certain
       shop.  She paid a deposit and had an appointment set.  Well, day
       of rolls around, the two of them head over, and no-one was
       there.  They couldn't get a hold of anyone for the shop on the
       phone, either.  The ended up going to a different artist and
       have beautiful tattoos to show for it.  Anyway, the shop
       owner/manager was unwilling (unable?) to resolve the matter and
       did not refund the deposit paid, even though it was the shop
       that messed up.  Well, guess what - that shop is now out of
       business, as well.
       The moral of these stories?  Don't mess with a witch.
       :)
