Top Ten Awkward Hallway Moments

Top Ten Awkward Hallway Moments

By Greg Ruda ’13, Humor Editor

1. You see your teacher from far away, and say, “Hi” to them.  This leaves an akward moment of walking by eachother after you’ve said “Hi.”

2. Not saying “Hi” soon enough, and causing them to say “Hello.”  This lowers their opinion of you.

3. Not wanting to say “Hi” to your teacher, so you pretend to read a note on the wall about some random club.  The teacher clearly knows what you have done.

4.  You see a teacher who has just given you a bad grade, and turn around mid-hallway in order to avoid them.  This causes you to walk much further than you normally would have.

5. You keep running into a student/ teacher five times in ten minutes.  When the word “stalker” comes up, you know you’ve seen them too many times.

6. You yell something embarassing, and Dr. DiBianca walks by, and you are left wondering if he heard you or not.

7. You walk towards a couple who are amid conversation, and you don’t want to ruin a “tender” moment…but you can’t help yourself.

8.  You walk by a girl/guy you’ve been texting, and you don’t make eye contact.

9. You walk up to a gaggle and only say “Hi” to one person.

10. You walk by two teachers, one who you know and the other who you don’t know.  You say “Hi” to one, and awkwardly make eye contact with the other.
