Need an idiom

Hi.

I am looking for an idiom expressing the meaning in the following situation.

When somebody is teasing or humilating you because you are in trouble or you have made an embarrasing blunder and you want to use an idiom telling him/her that don't tease me it might happen to you one day.

I can't think of an actual idiom, but here are a couple of suggestions as to what you could say: This could be you, you know. You might be next. It won't be so funny when it happens to you.
