My MIL Let Her Friend Use My Clothes and Makeup While I Was on a Business Trip – Karma Worked on Them Better than Any Revenge

Share this:

While I was away on a business trip, I discovered that my mother-in-law’s best friend had raided my closet. But what happened next was so satisfying that any thoughts of revenge became unnecessary. Imagine someone digging through your personal stuff while you’re not home—now, imagine it’s your mother-in-law’s friend trying on your designer clothes. That’s exactly what happened to me.

I’m Karen, a 32-year-old entrepreneur and mother. This wild story began a couple of weeks ago as I was getting ready for a business trip to New York. While I was packing, my mother-in-law, Janet, walked into my bedroom. She reassured me, “Don’t worry, Karen. I’ll take good care of Dave and Marly while you’re away.” I appreciated the gesture and trusted her completely—something I would soon regret.

Two days into my trip, I got an unexpected text from my neighbor and best friend, Lisa. She asked if I knew someone named Sheryl. When I said no, she informed me that Sheryl, a friend of Janet’s, had been hanging out at my house.

Lisa had seen her wearing my clothes and using my makeup. Shocked, I asked for proof, and Lisa sent me a video of a middle-aged woman strutting around my living room in my favorite red dress and applying what looked like my Chanel lipstick. I was furious but had to keep calm until I could get home.

When I finally returned, I was ready for a confrontation. I found Dave, who had no idea what had been happening, and asked where Janet was. He pointed me to our bedroom, and what I saw left me speechless. My closet was a complete disaster. Clothes were scattered everywhere, makeup was left open, and to my horror, my wedding dress was lying on the floor, stained with red wine.

Janet appeared, holding Marly’s hand, and tried to laugh it off. “Sheryl had a date and needed something nice to wear. I thought it would be okay for her to borrow a few things,” she said, as if it were no big deal.

Dave was just as upset as I was. He confronted his mother about how she violated our trust and privacy. Right then, the doorbell rang, and there stood Sheryl, smirking as she introduced herself. “Janet said it was fine to borrow your things,” she claimed. I calmly but firmly told her, “What you did wasn’t sharing; it was trespassing and theft.” Dave told her to leave and never come back, and I insisted that Janet leave as well.

Tensions were high in our house over the next few days. Although I was angry, I decided not to seek revenge. My friend Lisa suggested, “Let karma take care of it,” and I agreed. A week later, I received a panicked call from Janet. She told me that Sheryl was in the hospital with a severe allergic reaction that left her face swollen and covered in a rash.

The doctors thought it was caused by the makeup she had used—my makeup. Janet, now embarrassed and remorseful, apologized for everything and asked for forgiveness.

Though I felt a bit of satisfaction seeing karma in action, I knew it would take time to rebuild trust with Janet. She tried to make amends by replacing the makeup, cleaning my wedding dress, and even hiring a professional to organize my closet. Dave also had a serious talk with her about respecting our boundaries and made it clear that her behavior was unacceptable.

In the end, I didn’t need to do anything. Karma delivered the lesson, teaching both Janet and Sheryl a hard truth. Our family grew stronger through this experience, and Janet now respects the boundaries we’ve set. Sometimes, the best revenge is just letting the universe handle things—with a touch of humor.
