I lived in that environment for the first 20+ years of my life, and I know it better than most.
In a bind? They should have thought about that before dropping out of high school, breaking into that house, or telling their boss to go %$#& themselves because they didn't want to work late. That's the reality I saw. I don't know where you got yours.
