Cosmetics Coworker: "So did you hear?"

Me: "I hear nothing. Tell me."

Cosmetics Coworker: "New girl was so desperate to get out of here that just before she went to lunch, she said that her cousin died from a heroin overdose and then took off. Haven't seen her since."

Me: "Heroin? Wow. She really wanted out. My cousin would've just gotten into a car accident or fallen off a ladder or something.."

A week later...

Cosmetics Coworker: "Did you hear?"

Me: "Heroin?"

Cosmetics Coworker: "No. Newer girl. She's gone too."

Me: "You're kidding! How? Why?"

Cosmetics Coworker: "She couldn't get a ride to work. Five times. Let me just tell you that you can actually see her house from here. Literally. It's right across the street."

Me: "She couldn't walk?"

Cosmetics Coworker: "She was appalled that we suggested that. Banshee said she won't be working here anymore."

Me: "Hee! I love karma."
