Saturday night, I had this 40 + year old woman come in. She looked terrible. Very miserable. I asked her if she was feeling alright (stupid question).
She tells me that she's pregnant. She tells me how terrible her morning sickness is and all she can keep down is ginger ale. She then proceeds to tell me that she's getting an abortion this Monday. She then tells me every single reason she wants an abortion, tells me why abortion is right. She tries to justify her decision.
She leaves and says, "Remember: birth control is not 100 percent effective."
I am left to wonder how in the world did I get myself involved in that? I did not argue with her, or even comment, on her getting an abortion. Yet, she acted like she had to prove to me that abortion is right. All I asked her is if she was feeling alright.
Earlier that day, older lady comes in. Walks through the store. Takes her time. Gets to the register. "Can you hurry up. My father is in the hospital dying. I have to be there with him."
Something was just twisted that day.

He had a beard when we met too, just not a sentient one, and I still gave him a chance. In the 4+ years we have been together he shaved it off once, and I forbid him from ever doing it again.
