1. It Was Just Karma
After my high school best friend accused me of stealing his roommate’s sweater, we were done. They went to a different university and she was quite a bit bigger than me so I had no use for her sweater. Also, I’m not a thief. He had his girlfriend, my roommate, check my bag just in case I was lying. Obviously there was no sweater. Then he had her check my car. Still no sweater. I wasn’t as mad or offended as I should have been at the time.
Then I lost my bracelet at his place. No one saw it… sure, buddy. It just up and walked away from the nightstand I had set it on. I think his roommate took it as retribution and he allowed it because he brought it up again months later about me stealing the sweater and how losing the bracelet was probably just karma. I didn’t take the crappy university sweater, and I would still like my bracelet my mom gave me back.
