1. My Brother-in-Law Mocked My Husband for Being a Teacher — Karma Put Him in His Place

Every year, my family reunites at my parents’ house for a weekend of laughter and shared memories. This year, as always, Tom, my brother-in-law, made a grand entrance, this time arriving fashionably late in a red Ferrari that turned heads.

Tom, a corporate lawyer with a flair for flaunting his success, soaked in the attention as he bragged about his latest purchase. Around the dinner table, the conversation naturally shifted to careers. My husband, David, shared a heartfelt story about a student overcoming challenges, his pride shining through.

But Tom cut him off. “You’ll never own a car like mine on a teacher’s salary,” he said smugly. His wife, Lisa, chimed in, “Why settle for such an ordinary job? With ambition, you could live a better life.”

The room fell silent, the joy of the gathering pierced by their arrogance. David, ever calm, simply replied, “I love what I do. Teaching gives me a purpose money can’t buy.” My parents exchanged uneasy glances as Tom continued boasting about his latest big deal, claiming his bonus could buy multiple Ferraris.
