Sad story, in that kind of funny sort of way.
Well, I work the overnight shift at a 24 hour grocery store.
We keep the rubbers and the pregnancy tests locked up overnight, because people constantly steal them otherwise. I had the almighty rubber key last night, so everytime someone needed something, I got paged and had to walk across the store to unlock the case. When this position of power is bestowed upon me... it is usually a sign that I will have a good night. Sometimes, when I arrive at the locked case, I want to loook at the anxious customer and demand cash or something before I open the case, and if they refuse, "GUESS WHOS NOT FUCKING TONIGHT!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" at which point I would strut away chuckling....
but anyway... so I got paged early on, and it was this nice pleasant seeming girl. Pretty young, maybe 16 at the oldest. She needed a pregnacy test. She bought 2, an expensive one, and a cheap one. About an hour later she was back. She didn't look qiote as pleasant this time, she looked a bit upset. She bought 2 more, both different kinds than the previous 2. I felt a little bad for her, but it also kind of made me chuckle, what can I say.... its a little funnny....
but then about 2 hours later, SHE WAS FUCKING BACK!!! She looked a fucking mess this time.. her eyers were all puffy and bloodshot... and her face was beat red.... she got two more........ as she walked away, for some reason I said, "well, have a good night?". She turned around looked me dead in the eyes.. In the most sober and monotone voice she replied, "can I use your (the store's) bathroom, that way if its positive I can just slit my wrists here?" *WOW*.... *what the fuck?* ok, after a second, I regainded* my composure. I smiled and said, "you're welcome to use our bathroom to take your test, but we kind of frown upon the whole wrist slitting thing around here".. and she walked away.... I thought it would make her smile, perhaps jolt her out of her delerium. Perhaps cause her to have a sudden moment of clarity, and stop wasting money on more pregnancy tests, and start saving for diapers..... but she didn't, she just walked away......
