Ok serious one. I used to work nightshifts in a gas station. One night, a woman turns up who was beaten by her partner. It's really something else to see someone's face that swollen and fucked up. Movies don't capture it realistically. You can get somewhat of an idea when you watch UFC, but this was another level. Heartbreaking. It's like her partner was trying to physically dehumanise her, she was really not looking human.

She didn't have any money so I let her pump $40 gas and she said she would pay it later (she didn't). I wrote the whole thing down and explained to my boss in the morning. He wasn't worried about the gas and said sometimes you have to do these things.

I offered to call the police etc but she didn't want to. It irritates the fuck out of me that people stay with abusive partners. Take care of you and your own, and get rid of anyone in your life who is toxic.

This was in an area where teenagers would turn up at 3am asking to buy lightbulbs, and not the frosted kind.
