Nobody Has a Clue Here
The characters in the next piece aren’t bad guys so much as they are incredibly oblivious. That goes for the story’s author as well. Who accepts a minimum wage position that requires a two-hour daily commute? Sweetie, I swear there are low-paying jobs in the neighborhood.
Then, there’s the couple that’s the focus of the narrative. To be honest, I’m not as taken aback as the author seems to be by the fact that they failed to appreciate the great distance from which she actually hailed. For what reason would they come to that conclusion? The expectation was probably that she would choose a job that would have a manageable commute. The smell of the husband is what shocked me the most about this story. It always surprises me to find married people who stink. Why don’t their significant others chime in?
