Friends, how many of us have them?

I dont think these two are best friends, so I feel embarrassed for the guy, but I am even more embarrassed for the guy doing the gum offering. You can't be that rude to a coworker! Sure he will be appreciative, but later on you know he's going to feel some sort of awkwardness and insecurity towards you. aha, no one ones to be either guy in this situation, but if it has to be, please people....make that person a close friend.
