"Everyone with a brain can figure out a sink"
This is a very small petty revenge, and this lady deserved so much more then this, but sometimes you have to take the wins were you can. This isn't my petty revenge, but my mothers.
For context:
My father has schizophrenia and have had some psychotic breaks. He is not and has never been dangerous, but we do take precautions just in case.
I grew up in a very small village, with no therapist or psychiatric in the village. So my father only had a support contact or something, I think she's a social worker, but im not sure. I only know her by my mom's nickname for her, "hespetre" it translate to Swift, like the thing for yarn. And in my language its used as a derogatory term for a mean and unsympathetic woman, not sure why tho.
In 2010, my mother was about to divorce my father (not cuz of his illness). She told the hespetre before she told my father, to give her a heads up in case my father got a psychotic break from the news.
This hespetre decided by herself that she should be the one telling my father, and on the worst timing ever. She told my father about the divorce the day before my father was gonna take me(10 at the time) and my brother (14 at the time) for a trip 2 hours away.
In my mothers eyes, and I agree, this woman risked her husband and her children's life, because those news could have gotten him into a psychotic break when he was gonna drive with me and my brother in the car. Luckily he didn't, and we were all safe. But my mother has had absolutely zero respect or trust in her after that day, naturally. And this is just one of many examples for why she's an hespetre.
Now for the petty revenge:
A year later, my mother was working at a nursing home and was alone in the kitchen, when the hespetre walked in. The kitchen had this strange ass sink that was hard to figure out (not totally sure what my mom meant by that). The hespetre was going to fill a jug with water but couldn't figure out the sink. She asked my mom for help and my mom answered "anyone with a brain can figure out a sink" and just walked out of the kitchen
Edit: meant to write "anyone with a brain..", not everyone, in the title
