Revenge is best served cold

By Barbara Thomas 

Many years ago, it came to my attention that a certain person was

spreading untruths about me.

For several weeks I searched the High street looking at faces hoping to see her and confront her but I gave up the search after a few weeks.

 

Several months later my friends and I were meeting up to go on a day trip by coach.

As I was chatting a lady came up to me and said “do I know you your face is familiar.”

My reply was as follows.

“Well yes, you should know me as for months you have been spreading untruths about me.”

She took a step back looking shocked, then all of a sudden recognition as to where she had seen me.

My words to her was,” You know nothing about me so in future don’t you dare discuss me or mine otherwise I will definitely be looking for you.”

She looked like she wanted to melt into the ground, her friends were staring at her in disbelief.

With this I walked away.

This women’s coach arrived and she made sure she was the first on the coach and couldn’t get in quick enough, job done!

As luck had it the woman was going

on a different coach trip.

 

I happened to look up to see my friend running across the car park, looking very flustered.

Apparently she had just realised

the person I had been looking for months ago was also going on a coach trip at the same time and would be meeting up with her friends.

I laughed and told my friend everything was ok I had dealt with the situation.

Revenge is better served cold.
