‘This is a big one.

You know when you’re walking along a narrow street and there’s someone coming toward you, and you end up doing that awkward little ‘will I go this way or that way’ dance with them until you finally get the fuck out of eachother’s way?

Not just yelling and cussing, either. When the quiet man who never speaks does speak up, people listen. Because it’s unexpected.’
