Sound Of Screeching Tyres On Street Prompts All Male Colleagues To Flock To The Window

A quiet office in the French Quarter experienced a little bit of drama this morning, as a loud sound prompted every single male office worker to flock to the nearest window, where they then stood for a few minutes craning their necks and murmuring amongst themselves.

Despite having an office located in the busy intersection where strange sounds are the norm, this doesn’t seem to stop every bloke from sprinting to the window whenever there’s the slightest scuffle, shout or bang.

Or in this morning’s case, the sound of screeching tires.

Speaking to one of the account managers at Perven Co, Hannah Delvey, The Advocate learns that this strange phenomenon has become somewhat of an unspoken group bonding ritual in the office, much to the delight of the female colleagues, who reserve their curiosity for ‘the really big bangs.”

“Yeah, I mean I’ll have a squiz if it sounds like someone’s gotten hurt or if there’s screaming, but these blokes get up for anything”, explains Hannah.

“I swear someone could drop a tissue on the footpath and every bloke would be at the window quicker than a Labrador hearing a rustle of a chip packet.”

“Bless them though, looks like their dad genes are kicking in.”

More to come.
