I am escorting a visitor through the school. I don't know him, so we're not saying much. This makes the loud squeaking of my shoes embarrassingly noticeable.
Me: This gives you a chance to listen to my squeaky shoes, which is good.
Him: I have some squeaky shoes too.
Me: I always forget that they do this until it's too late. I should just replace them.
Him: Mine are really nice shoes actually, it's just that they squeak. (Pause) They're not really worthy of the name "sneakers."
