Chesterton residents report that 34-year-old Robin Zergel, who introduces herself as a “Scentsy consultant,” thinks she’s a fucking businesswoman now or some shit.

Sources say that Zergel, a stay-at-home mom of three, recently adorned her rear windshield with a decal proclaiming her “independent consultant” status with the Scentsy company.

“I saw that decal and I was like, ‘Shit,’” said a neighbor of Zergel’s, who wished to remain anonymous. “She’s trippin. She sells candles. Them candles are a multi-level marketing scheme anyways.”

“If Robin tells me how ‘amazing’ the cucumber-melon is one more time,” reported another anonymous neighbor, “I will punch her in her fat ‘consultant’ face.”

Zergel’s sister Deborah confirmed that she has been keeping her house in a perpetual state of renovation to avoid being asked to have a Scentsy party.

Zergel’s husband, Carl, told reporters that every time he sees his wife’s “sad, reaching” business cards, he dies a little inside.

He also reported living in fear of being asked to take the Scentsy catalog to his workplace.
