It was a typical evening at the grocery store, with long checkout lines and tired customers eager to get home. My seven-month-pregnant wife and I were patiently waiting when a man brazenly shoved his way forward, cutting in front of several people without so much as an apology. His entitled attitude irritated everyone, but no one said a word.
I sighed, annoyed by his lack of manners, but my wife simply observed him with a curious expression. “Something feels off about him,” she murmured. I glanced at her, amused, as she added, “I have a sixth sense for justice.” I dismissed it as just a joke—until moments later, when security guards approached the man.
They accused him of shoplifting, and at first, he scoffed, acting offended by the accusation. But then the guards asked him to open his jacket, revealing several stolen items hidden inside. The crowd gasped, watching the scene unfold. His arrogance melted away, replaced by shame as he realized he had been caught red-handed.
Security footage confirmed the theft, leaving no room for argument. As the guards retrieved the stolen goods and led him away, I turned to my wife, who was grinning in satisfaction. “Justice served,” she said with a wink.
The delay at checkout didn’t bother us anymore. Instead, we walked out of the store laughing, knowing we had just witnessed the perfect example of instant karma.
