Having a special skill can shape your entire life, but for some, it can also lead to bullying. Tiffany Mulder, an acclaimed violinist, experienced this firsthand during her middle school years when she was relentlessly picked on for being in the orchestra.
Years later, her former bully reached out, asking Tiffany to play violin at her wedding for free, claiming it would be a “perfect gift” and help Tiffany build her portfolio. Tiffany, now a successful wedding musician recognized by The Knot, was not interested in helping her former bully. In a direct response, she pointed out the audacity of the request and reminded her bully of the years of torment she endured.
Despite Tiffany’s clear refusal, the bride persisted, offering a discount and suggesting they could be friends. Tiffany, unconvinced, continued to stand firm, even suggesting that guests pay a small fee for her performance.
In the end, Tiffany got sweet revenge for her past mistreatment, and the bride was left with nothing.
