What do we mean when we say you will be punished every single day for what you did?

What do we mean when we say you will be punished every single day for what you did?

Horrible things will happen to you every single day for what you did.

On Monday, they'll be out of chocolate milk in the cafeteria.

Tuesday, it will rain when you are walking home.

Wednesday, you'll step in dog doo.

Thursday, your best friend will kiss your boyfriend.

Friday, you'll burn your tongue on a microwave pot pie because you didn't let it cool for long enough.

Saturday, your iPhone will run out of batteries before you get home.

Sunday, your DVR will mess up and you'll miss the new episode of Fear the Walking Dead.

And so on and so forth…

Dun dun dun! I think it usually refers to self-punishment, punishment by one's own conscience, feeling guilty.
