She used everyone as a footstool. Figuratively, I mean.
Anyone could incur her wrath for whatsoever reason, and become the victim of her lambasting . She could rant and rave , making a public spectacle of the person's inabilities, and as if that was not enough, She would make the entire class laugh at the said person's follies . This was unforgivable . She was surely and certainly making a place for herself in the most-hated -list of most people.
But she remained unfazed. And as most inexplicable things have been known to happen , in this strange world , she scaled high in the corporate world, with consummate ease .
Her ability to suck up to her superiors was as phenomenal, as was her ill-behaviour towards her juniors. Both were opposite sides of the same coin. You could say, one begat the other.
She would sit in her den, with her foot on a footstool, eyeing everyone with a hawkeye, and all would feel like the miserable footstool.
A dog lover adopted a small stray pup, feeding it scraps. The pup took to napping in the cool corridor of the hostel, when all had departed for various classes and "lambastings".
Once it crept into the big ladies' room and slept under the footstool. She left in a hurry , and was gone for a couple of days' , over the weekend .
The dog lover missed the pup, but did not put much thought to it , as "after all, it was a stray".
Monday morning brought the house down , with mingled howls of agony , from canine and human (feminine) throats. The pup howled at the slippers thrown at him, and the lady howled at the state of her room.
It was , under these straitened circumstances, not safe to exhibit any affiliations to the canine , hence , it faced rejection from the "dog -lover " too.
The inner cup of joy , however,brimmeth over, and all were seen smiling , for no apparent reason.
Some one also suggested a medal of valour for the pup, for having performed a feat , which all could just dream about .
