The fluorescent hum of the suburban post office masks the electric energy radiating from a coworker who cannot contain their excitement. Eyes wide with fanatical zeal, they lean over the sorting counter, oblivious to you's blank stare. The air is thick with unshared passion as they recount the Seahawks' crushing victory over the 49ers, assuming a universal bond over the game that simply isn't there. They pause, realizing their monologue, then pivot with desperate enthusiasm to the culinary aspect of the viewing experience, searching for common ground in food rather than sport.
