Teachers share humorous and awkward encounters with former students outside the classroom. A teacher called for stories on social media, receiving hilarious responses. From running into students at Walmart to recognizing a former student as a labor and delivery nurse, these encounters highlight the unexpected moments teachers face. Other experiences involve surprising meetings at concerts and medical procedures, showcasing the intersections of teachers' and students' lives beyond school settings. Awkward yet endearing, these stories reveal the memorable connections formed between educators and their students.
One time, I was pooping at Walmart and a third-grade student popped her head under the stall and said, 'I saw your shoes and thought that was you, Mrs. Ware.'
Five years after she graduated, she was my labor and delivery nurse! It was awkward for me for about 30 seconds and then I was just like, 'Let's do this, Kendra!'.
As my colonoscopy was about to begin: 'Hi Mr. K. You were my favorite teacher. I'll be assisting today.' I said, 'Thanks, enjoy the view!' And then I promptly went to sleep.
I ran into a current student in the mosh pit of a ... concert.
