We've all seen or talked to our professors or teachers outside of our individual campuses. We see them at a grocery store, or at the mall shopping for shoes. And we probably wave hello and go on with our own business.
But what about those times you see your authoritative figures in the world of education, in some really bizarre places (and times)?
For example, about a year ago, my best friend, his father, and I are coming back home from a Devil Rays game. We finally get back in our area at about midnight, and we decide to stop at the 7-11 near our houses. There was a Jeep parked next to us, and this crazy lookin' Mexican dude is just staring at us with this cold, murderous look on his face. I thought nothing of it.
So my friend and I go in and we're at the slushy machine. We're sitting at the machine getting our ice beverages, when someone walks out of the bathroom right in front of us.
And who is it? None other than our ridiculously obese AP English teacher (and when I say obese, picture a woman with the shape of Grimace, the character from McDonalds).
Let me remind you that this was at midnight on a Saturday night.
So, she sees me and is totally surprised/embarassed. We talk to her, telling her that we were at the game and stuff. My friend tells her about all the drunk guys at the game, and then all of a sudden some other obese chick at the slushy machine turns around and shouts loudly, "I'M NOT DRUNK!" My friend and I turn around thinking "What the....", and then our teacher introduces this woman as her sister.
We finish our conversation, and our teacher says "I'll see you guys Monday." She walks off, and my friend and I look at each other like, "What on earth just happened?" We walk back to the car, and my friend's dad tells us he noticed our teacher and her sister, and that he saw them walking out with a big case of beer.
So, my friend asked what car she got into, and his dad replies, "That Jeep next to us."
Yes, folks, the exact same Jeep with the crazy looking Mexican in the backseat....
But the best part about it was that following Monday. In class, she says to us all, "Yeah, guys. I'm still working hard on your essays. I cancelled all of my social engagements this past weekend just so that I could grade them all."
