On a rainy day, traffic moved slowly through the city streets. An elderly man was crossing the road carefully, pushing his cart and walking beside his dog. He moved slowly, focused on staying steady on the wet pavement.
A young driver approached without slowing down.
As the car passed, water from the road splashed up, soaking the elderly man and his dog. The driver didn’t stop. He didn’t look back. He just kept going.
But someone else noticed.
A bus driver behind them immediately pulled over. He stopped the bus, stepped out, and went to help the elderly man. He checked if he was okay, helped him move out of the road, and made sure the dog was safe.
Then the bus driver looked ahead and saw the same car stopped at the next light.
The young driver’s window was open.
Calmly, without shouting or confrontation, the bus driver pulled forward. As the bus passed, water from the road splashed straight into the open window of the car — soaking the driver who moments earlier had shown no care.
The bus didn’t stop.
There was no argument.
Just a quiet moment of consequence.
This story isn’t about revenge.
It’s about accountability.
Small acts of disrespect often go unnoticed — but not always. Sometimes karma doesn’t wait long, and sometimes it arrives in the simplest way possible.
Respect on the road costs nothing.
Ignoring it can cost you dignity.
