Lord protect me from the social tension when a stranger starts up convo on the tube.
Man motions. Young business chap opposite takes out his earphones.
- I got to ask you - They’ve got to be good shoes to wear with no socks.
Huh yeah. (Begins to put earphones back in)
- Where they from?
Zara.
- Zara Zara?
Yeah Zara. (Begins to put earphones back in.)
- They don’t hurt your heel or your corns?
Nah. (Begins to our earphones back in)
- They must be good.
Yeah. (Begins to put earphones back in)
- I’m gonna get me a pair and next time you see me I’ll be sockless.
...Ok.
(Firmly puts earphones back in)
