This is a really random question that I just thought of because I always get an awkward feeling when I see and talk to a teacher or student(unless he's a close friend) outside of school and in a store like Target or Walmart. Do any of you guys ever feel that way?

Somtimes when I was younger If I was with my parents and a teacher would come up to us it would be really awkward because knowing full well that I was a cut up and made there days very stressful the teachers would always say"Hes such a good boy"etc. In HS though if I saw my teacher outside it was always pretty cool because they didnt have to conform to school codes and they were really cool people actually the younger teachers that is the old ones I never saw outside.

Not really. Whenever I see an old school/college teacher I just say hi and, if neither of us are in a hurry, I'll stop and talk about what we're getting up to now.

WOW, yes. I never know what to do. It's the worst when it's someone I talked to only a little bit. I don't care very much if it's someone I never spoke to and merely recognize, and I don't care if it's an actual friend or a teacher I really valued, but I hate seeing an old acquaintance.

I also hate running into people from high school around campus at college now. A lot of people who never talked to me in high school suddenly want to be friends and I don't know how I feel about that.

I was always more comfortable with students outside school for some reason.

Nope if its just a random fellow student I happen to recognize I'll smile and acknowledge their presence, but not necessarily engage them in conversation. If its a teacher I'll always at least say hello, I think its interesting to see teachers in the real world it reminds me they are normal people :P

Not really unless me and the teacher don't see eye to eye then hopefully he or she wouldn't try starting a conversation in the store with me.

I remember having a student see me outside of school when I was beyond ****ed up at a football game. It was an awkward experience when they brought it up in class

Yeah, but mostly because teachers tend to remember me due to my...eccentric personality
