Strange occurrence at work today.
During a lull at work (ciggy break) I went outside as usual, then out of the corner of my eye I spotted the City fan from the next building along.
I tried desperately to conceal myself in the doorway...too late, he already saw me.
I managed a weak smile then reached for my cigarettes, but he beat me to it and offered me one of his.
I took it suspiciously, not my usual brand, but beggars can't be choosers. He offered me a light which I accepted without taking my eyes off him for a second and inhaled the first drag with narrowed eyes.
We spent the next 10 minutes nodding and smiling politely.
Finishing my cig and flicking it as far as I could, I turned neatly on my heels. "Cheers" I said, then muttered within earshot, "yer blue nosed twat" as I walked back through the doorway.
"No problem....yer red piece of shite", replied the City fan through gritted teeth.
Hostilities resumed...order restored.
