We’ve all been there. You’re walking down the street, eyes straight forward, looking at nothing in particular. Then it happens. You look into a stranger’s eyes. He looks into yours. There’s no escaping what happens next.
You have to fight.
It’s in escapable fact of city living that every accidental locking of two strangers’ eyes results in a fistfight. No one knows how this came to be. No one knows why it’s still a thing.
But it’s something you need to be ready for.
If you’re a tourist, look up at the buildings. If you’re a resident, look down at your phone. But never, ever make eye contact with anyone on the street.
