I used to go out for a smoke break at work. There was another guy from a different part of the company that did the same. I didn’t know him and he didn’t know me. We kibitzed, made small talk, told jokes, discussed current affairs, laughed for over ten years. I left the company and never did know his name, and he mine I guess. On a separate note, I quit smoking after I left the company. Way easier to quit when your not dealing with the daily shitpile that is corporate life.
