Worked housekeeping at a hospital. The company we worked for was one of those that hired disabled to "give them a purpose" (🤢, not gonna start on this), so they hired a bunch of elderly folk. I also feel I need to mention I live in the Deep South™, specifically Louisiana.

I hated listening to these backwater hicks wax nostalgic about all the times when their parents would literally abuse them as if it was fond memories. So much internalized trauma it was unreal. They are so fucked up in the head when it comes to being able to discern what is or isn't considered decent behavior and there is no telling them otherwise.
