An impolite woman hoping to buy cupcakes at a bakery apparently didn't get the sweet treats she came for, but she did get a heaping helping of karma.

Unfortunately for her, an admirably petty young woman named Vega Blossom says she was in front of her in line at that baker. Blossom, a Starbucks barista, recounts what happened next in a since viral Facebook post.

The two women were, as she explains, separately waiting in line to buy baked goods in Valparaiso, Indiana while another customer in front of them "took FOREVER" with their purchase. When that customer finished and left, Blossom says the woman behind her, who had been impatient and vocal about it, suddenly redirected her anger at Blossom.

"As i walked up to the counter," Blossom continues, "the lady turns to her friend and says, 'Thank God, now let's hope this fat b---- doesn't buy all the cupcakes.'"

That was it for Blossom. She says she was originally just going to buy six cupcakes, but because of the woman's outburst she decided to retaliate.

"Orignially (sic) i was buying six but as soon as i heard that I BOUGHT EVERY DAMN CUPCAKE," she wrote on Facebook. "I SPENT $54 ON CUPCAKES JUST TO BE A B----. HAPPY EASTER."

Whether or not it's true, Blossom's story, posted on March 31, has since gone viral; it's been shared nearly 25,000 times and liked 73,000 times.
