Dose of One's Own Medicine

The same or a similar unpleasantness revert back to someone that has been giving others

Etymology:

  • Medicine doses are unpleasant to swallow. If a person gives the medicine doses to others, he/she doesn’t suffer with the awful taste of that medicine. In case, if someone else gives such medicine or same doses back to that person, he/she has to swallow it and then he will realize how terrible experience it is to taste medicine. If someone does bad or mean with others, he/she then has to suffer the same.
