The gas station clerk who refused to let me wallow
Got rear-ended on I-35 outside Tulsa last Tuesday, car was toast and I was freaking out about insurance and work. I stumbled into a QuikTrip at like 7pm, just staring at the floor, and the clerk behind the counter said 'hey, you look like you lost a fight with a truck, come here.' She didn't sell me anything, just walked me to the back, gave me a free hot chocolate and let me sit in the break room for 20 minutes while she told me how her own car got totaled last year and it all worked out. That little kindness from a stranger reset my whole night, and I actually got a rental sorted the next day without panicking. Has anyone else had a random person at a store or gas station turn their whole mood around like that?

you look like you lost a fight with a truck" is basically my resting face so I feel this. One time a Dollar General cashier gave me a free bag of gummy worms cause I looked so rough she thought I was homeless. I wasn't, just tired, but honestly those worms fixed my whole day too.
