I had an elderly relative who had been a primary school teacher all her life. She was a bossy old bat who spoke to everyone as if they were seven years old. She taught in a small village school so most of the people there had been taught by her over a 40 year period and she still treated them like her pupils.
Horrible woman who would barge to the front of queues and then expect someone to carry her shopping home. Whenever she visited us she would sit and dish out orders to everyone.
Funny thing was most of the family did as they were told!
I had a big falling out with her when I was a teenager. She visited us and ordered me to "fetch" my Uncle Frank.
I said "Nope" and she went ballistic and told me to fetch him right away.
I told he was in Brisbane. In a cemetery in Brisbane.
"Don't talk nonsense, Fetch him! I'm not in the habit of being disobeyed!"
"You're not in the habit of listening either are you?"
She never came back.
