the intersection of grim and dismal, like, for example, most jobs (with "e.g. working for walmart" being the best example for people who don't work to imagine what working might be like). other examples would be english cuisine, waterboarding (for the waterboardee), all of the circles of hell, also purgatory etc., a tea party with actual tea party members, going ice fishing with the cable guy, etc. etc. most people lead lives that are both dismal and grim, so this shouldn't be a hard idea for most of you to imagine.

You couldn't afford a $2,300/month place in Beaverton so you got the $950/month place in Gresham Oregon. On your first day there a crackhead shoots and kills a bouncer at the strip club across the street. You head to work on a 2 hour bus ride into town where a nutcase screams about his political beliefs the whole time. When you get back, there's a dead body of a naked crackhead in the street, thrown from the windshield of a cellphone related crash in front of your apartment. Then some kids shoot each other some more just because.
A funeral home in Syria is a nicer place and far cheaper.
