Baz, what you may be hunting for is that these events are likely just a gentler form of schadenfreude.
only "observers" see (what they think is) karma........ to the victim, it is at worst really bad luck.
And bad luck, happens every day to otherwise very good people, as well.
Example, and tell me how you call this one:
Small town, married guy with a wife and son. Guy is a complete dick to everyone or a smarmy brown nose to those he cannot bully. His son, a high school teenager, has a bad experience with a chick at school. Depressed, he hangs himself from a tree in front of his parents house. His mother, a teacher, comes home and finds him.
No one in town likes this douche bag.......... but not a soul thinks what happened to his son and wife is "karma" on him..........
This is an example of a situation fitting the phrase: "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy".
