Karma is a figment of peoples' imaginations, originally used by Hindus to get out of paying debts in a present incarnation and promising to repay them in a future incarnation. Of course, the debts were never repaid, and common usage came to define karma as bad things happening to people who owed debts from past incarnations. Eventually it was expanded to include explaining why good things happened to people who seemed undeserving of having luck. They MUST HAVE done something in a past life to have such luck in this life. Common usage further expanded this meaning to the point where we alive today use karma as an excuse for people having inexplicably good or bad luck.
Karma is just another word meaning coincidence or luck that happens in any person's lifetime. Like other usurped words, the meanings are changed to suit our own purposes. If Karma existed, Western based cultures would never have taken over North and South America from their aboriginal people, using actions like giving away blankets filled with smallpox, trading beads for entire tracts of lands, providing liquor to people who had no tolerance, decimating the main food source of the plains peoples, outright murdering whole villages, and attempting genocide by sending aboriginal children to residential schools where they were physically, mentally, and sexually abused and then saying, "Oops, we screwed up! Sorry," and as penance giving harmed individuals money when clean water, arable land, and help to recover the art of child-raising were so badly needed to keep aboriginal children from needlessly committing suicide , you can bet if Karma existed white people would have been wiped off the face of this planet. Meanwhile, unlike whites, people of colour would do whatever it took to help white people survive. No, there is no such thing as karma, and we white folk should be very glad there isn't.

Get the Karmamug. Normally, bad karma is when something comes back to haunt someone.
Reverse karma is when something comes back to haunt, but it haunts someone else, not the original person that deserved the karma.

JOHN (angrily): Where is the remote Jane!?
JANE: Why do you always assume I have it?
JOHN: Oh, I'm sitting on it
JANE: That's an example of reverse-karma because your actions came back to haunt me instead of just you because you wasted my time and hurt my feelings!
