Can you guess who I saw the other day?
If you guessed Jill Schnedler, you are correct!
I was at the tack shop getting more fly spray and treats and catching up with my friend who works there. After a few minutes of chatting, my phone rings and it's my mom so I start wandering around the store, talking to my mother. I'm sitting in the back on the demo saddle and when I hop down, I hear my friend say "Oh hi Jill!" in a very audible voice and I hear Jill Schnedler's voice...
Immediately my blood boils a little and I get the panic.
She responds, "Oh hi! I'm just here to look at bridles."
I look to my right and there are the bridles so I know I have to find somewhere else to be. I watch her circle around the store to her right so I head to her left to avoid her. My boyfriend immediately realizes I'm trying to hide from someone. He doesn't know who, but he stands between me and said person to block any view of me. I'm standing at the door, ending my call with my mom and trying to say bye to my friend. Somewhere along the line, Jill got a spy on me and just as I'm about to leave, I take one more look and I see a blur of her dark hair and purple sweatshirt.
Jill: Oh hi Kille! So nice to see you
(running through my head: Nice? Less than two months ago you said my mom threatened your life!)
Me: Oh hi Jill! It's nice to see you too!
From here, she proceeds to say sorry about Louize (who passed almost 3 years ago now) and asked if it was the adenoma my mom suspected and blah blah blah. I then mentioned that I heard about her horse, KC, who she very recently lost (hinting at the fact that I hear things and I know what is being said about her and about me. Whether she got my subtle hint or not, I have no idea.
I tried very hard from that moment on to hint that I was leaving and wanted out of the store. For nearly four years I have managed to avoid seeing and talking to her. It was NOT nice to see her, as she has been the one to spread horrible rumors about me and my mom.
Would someone really greet me so nicely if it was true that I left in the middle of the night, did not pay board for seven months, stole a bunch of her stuff, ruined her credit, posted her medical history on Facebook, and threatened her life? Honestly?
My boyfriend and my friend are all a witness to this. And the other employee and the few customers wandering. The part that really got me is that she seemed genuinely curious and concerned about how I lost Louize.
She's good at giving a show and acting SO nice to me. Unfortunately, I know her true side and this is how she can so easily manipulate people. Very very sweet and kind to everyone in person but turn your back for even a second (or four years) and her true colors show through.
