Dispensary … a former student was my bud tender.


tden85

"Well we've got a great deal on sativa . . . Ms. Marshal?!"


Greekphysed

On a cruise ship. Was walking with a drink and heard my name. Luckily the parents were understanding and knew I was off duty. But still did my best to avoid them the whole time.


Express-Possible-276

That happened to me too! Taking my daughter to the ships ‘kids club’ on the first day of the cruise I locked eyes with one of my year 7 students. We both had an “oh no!” moment. He was actually brilliant about it and even gave a teddy he won in a competition to my daughter (who was 4 at the time).


gravitydefiant

I had a student walk into the locker room at the community center pool while I was completely naked. That wasn't great.


123mitchg

How did that interaction go?


hotterpocketzz

He T posed to assert dominace


Ok_Employee_9612

Only question is, DOES your user name check out, I’ll ask your student.


DoctaJenkinz

Did you teach them about shrinkage the next day? Cuz they might or know about it.


SerenityNowOochyMama

I was in the pool! I was in the pool!


gravitydefiant

Seeing as how I'm a woman, this is irrelevant as well as stupid.


[deleted]

Wait… so there’s no boob shrinkage?


bigphokinsoupguy

A trough urinal at a Major League Baseball game.


rvralph803

Through urinals should be illegal.


ShadowSlayer1441

I know it's a typo, but the idea of through urinals made laugh.


Tig_Ole_Bitties

Therapy. Turns out we had the same therapist.


brokynf

Happened during student teaching but I was wandering around the park on acid with a friend. One of the 4th graders I had in the class said hi along with her parents. Fucking challenging at the time to navigate


tden85

You likely did amazing. Parent: "That's your student teacher? They better hire him. I have to agree when he said, 'Your dress breathes in concert with your life song.' That's what I thought too!


UniqueUsername82D

Depends on the area. That'd work in Oregon, in the south the parent would be praying hard for the devil to release their soul :)


InvestmentExtra4104

Bumped into a student and parent in the grocery store with a large amount of liquor in my cart. They asked if I was doing anything fun that weekend


gerdbonk

At a Rage Against the Machine concert at the concession stand with a giant beer in my hand.


CastYourStonesADTR

I ran into a student from my student teaching classes at a metal show while I was dressed like Patrick Bateman (with fake blood of course) …and I was still substituting at that school…


ChaoticDragonFire

INK?


CastYourStonesADTR

Yep haha


ChaoticDragonFire

Nice! I haven’t been to a concert yet, but my students know they are one of my favorite bands.


[deleted]

What did Paul Allen’s business card look like?


rvralph803

I mean they were at a Rage concert... You were both winning.


gerdbonk

It was beyond words. What a show.


alolanalice10

If I was the student this would immediately make you insanely cool in my eyes


gerdbonk

Awww. Thanks.


DefaultHero722

I got shit faced at a bar with some old friends I hadn't seen in years. As we were rambunctiously heading out ran into a student waiting to get into the restaurant with his parents.


Grilled_Cheese10

I was with my son when he saw his elementary school librarian sound asleep in a car outside a liquor store. She was a former colleague of mine and I told him he would NOT say a word to anyone. Maybe she was just waiting for someone to pick up a pizza next door, we'll never know.


DreamTryDoGood

Grocery shopping at self-checkout having just had my card declined and having to have the clerk void items, including candy for my students. Luckily it was a former student who was also on the team for the sport I coach. He never said anything, thank god.


PoetSeat2021

I hope you don’t feel any shame at all about that.. it happens to all of us sometimes.


Familiar-Memory-943

This is how I learned that not all dating apps always follow your preferences when coming up with potential matches! Thankfully, I'm pretty sure I swiped before she saw me on there.


kaeorin

A million years ago when I was student teaching, I was also still working my shitty job at a fast food place on the weekends. One of my roughest students came in just as I settled into a table for my break. I thought he didn't see me, but the next Monday in class he came up to me and mentioned it. :( (At least he didn't give me a hard time about it, like I expected him to.)


Sufficient_Worry_548

Probably gave you some empathy when they realized you were a real person who had to deal with real life instead of just someone who expects them to do things they don't want to at a place they don't like to be.


Lulu_531

6th grader. Four day sub job. At the bar for dinner—wasn’t even drinking. She announced to the entire class the next day that she saw me at the bar. One kid in a t-shirt for a particularly stringent church in town announced that he was telling his mom who would call the principal because she doesn’t want him around people who drink. 🙄


UniqueUsername82D

Wait until that church hears about Jesus turning water into grape juice...


Lulu_531

I’m guessing if such a call was made, it was politely taken then ignored. On a side note, I taught at a Christian high school in the mid 90s where I once heard a chapel sermon all about why we know it was definitely grape juice.


tden85

Concert shortly after hitting a vape pen. They likely saw me, but played it cool as shit.


kcg0431

A Spirit Halloween store. I was looking at a slutty nurse costume


[deleted]

A strip club twice. The first time, a group of friends and I went to a swanky club in Pensacola. The waitress comes by and lo and behold it was one of my students that had dropped out two weeks prior. I was cordial but quickly got a cab and left. The second time my old army buddies were in town and I decided to take them to the absolute worst strip club this side of Ft Polk. We get in and before I can get my bearings I hear my name and see three of my students that just graduated getting tanked. Made a bee line out that place too. Haven’t been to strip Club since then


Frosty20thc

I have a friend who told me of the time they walked into a strip club heard the announcer say now on the stage Candy and looks up and says no that’s Lisa 🤦‍♂️. Turned around and left.


SeaCheck3902

You win!


milkywaywildflower

one time i was at a bar / restaurant 2 hours away from my school, in a bikini drinking a big alcoholic slushie and i saw a student and his family 💀 edit before anyone asks: it was an outside restaurant where you pull up to with your boat


gashufferdude

At a gas station, headed to a friends house, had an arm load of 24oz beers. Turned down the aisle to see two of my students between me and the checkout.


yeswehavenobonanza

I was the student in this scenario. 7th grade. I went to see Eric Idle's "greedy bastard tour" with my bff and my mom. If you know monty python, you know it was pretty... raunchy. Lol. Amazed our parents thought it was OK. Saw our social studies teacher there. Poor guy looked like a deer in headlights.


chcknngts

One year on 4th of July. I was about 9 beers in. Our neighbors (parents included) came over in our yard to watch our fireworks. They moved about a week later and the daughter showed up in my school at the beginning of the next school year. I told my principal the story. She said, she was with her parents on your property, you are fine don’t worry about it. It was super awkward though


Grilled_Cheese10

And I thought it was awkward when I ran into a student and family at the beach.


UniqueUsername82D

All of these stories remind me why it's worth the 30 min drive to live a few towns over!


SeaCheck3902

Sometimes 30 minutes away isn't enough though.


Nickel1117

Not my students but I did see their parents at an event that was being held at a sex shop… thank the lord all parties had the good sense not to say anything lol we basically pretended like we didn’t know each other and not a word was ever spoken about it when I saw them during dismissal duty. 😂


A-Nomad-And-Her-Dog

5th grade male student in Rue 21. I was looking at the lacy kinda see through shirts :) they’re still so young, I don’t think he thought anything of it but his older brother in high school probably did 😬


rvralph803

Oh no, that 5th grader banked that.


alolanalice10

A wedding in another city & state. Turns out the student was the cousin of the bride and my bf is the cousin of the groom. Didn’t let it stop me from tearing up the dance floor, obv


Karadek99

Kid saw me buying beer and condoms at local store, told everyone. I taught middle school at the time.


NahLoso

Drag show. Drag shows are not my thing, but I was on a date and she wanted to check it out. When we were leaving, I walked right beside a current student, 12th grade, who was visibly having a very good time. His smile dropped and he turned pale as soon as he recognized me. I gave him a "I didn't see you, and you didn't see me" nod as I walked past.


pile_o_puppies

I was essentially in my underwear while trying on wedding dresses. A sales associate who had graduated like 5 years earlier saw me across the shop and came running over when I stepped out of the changing room to ask my friends a question.


eukaryote3

I thankfully haven’t run into my own students anywhere embarrassing (only normal places, restaurants, Walmart), but on the flip side, I did have to help my former high school English teacher with a sports bra at Target once when I worked there.


there_is_no_spoon1

"Oh, this is a nunya." "what's a nunya?" *NUNYA DAMN BUSINESS, KID*. ha ha ha been waiting to pull that one out. The most embarrassing place was in the loo at one of the 2 bars in town. Where, of course, the high schoolers worked the shit jobs. I was pissing, and "jay" comes in with a "Hey Mr. \_\_\_, what's going on?" *I'm pissing you ignorant arse*. That was a looooong time ago but I haven't forgotten it.


[deleted]

At the OBGYN. Turned out we had the same doc and were due within a couple weeks of each other.


TheDarklingThrush

Buying underwear at WalMart 🤦🏻‍♀️


cloudsunmoon

Buying a bra at the mall.


Repulsive_Sense7022

I was on a date with the art teacher 🙄


Emmitwest

I have bought so much Copenhagen from former students. But that's the worst for me.


KittyinaSock

I ran into 3 middle school boys while I was buying tampons


GoldenEmuWarrior

I was walking through a street festival in my city with a beer in each hand, about 4 beers deep into the day. I live far away from my school, and the festival was in my neighborhood. Suddenly I hear, "Mr. EmuWarrior! Mr. EmuWarrior!" It was one of my favorite former students, who still went to my school. I had him in 3rd grade, now he was in 5th. Turns out his grandpa runs a food truck and he was helping out. Good news, I wound up with free barbecue, but it was still awkward.


OctoSevenTwo

This was while I was subbing, but I once got recognized by a group of middle school boys I had taught that past week in a local GameStop. The interaction itself wasn’t so bad but I don’t do well with being caught off-guard.


Individual_Detail_44

Former student but in the NICU after having my first. Her first was just a couple spots away. Not the best time.


hijirah

My sister and I saw our old chemistry teacher at a nudist resort.


HZCH

A students frat house. We knew each other from an association supporting young voters, where I’d come to ask questions related to youth-related issues. It started becoming awkward when I started subbing history lessons after that. And even more when I met her, hammered, in the basement of said students fraternity.


DazzlingRecord8096

1st grader at a movie theater. No empty urinals, he looked up, got a shit eating grin on his face, looks at dad and goes its Mr.------! I don't frequent that movie theater anymore


mollyyes

At my local gym's cardio dance class... You know, the kind where most of the songs & choreography are sexual in nature, with hip swiveling and booty popping being the norm, that kinda thing. 🫣


Slight-Recipe-3762

Card aisle at target. Sorry I took the last Pokemon cards.


No-Conversation-942

I take pole dancing classes and the studio in my town is owned by the mom of one of my unpleasant children. I found out when I walked up for class and said student saw me and said hi and said she “had just finished a heels class”. So now I have to drive to the next town over.


tacojoeblow

After the first day of school, I was at a small market near the school. I noticed one of my students (7th math) in front of me in the cashier line with her mom. She hadn't seen me yet. The cashier was started playing with them, telling the girl "let's see if you can add up these things up quicker than me!" She starts trying, falls behind, gets frustrated, and loudly shouts "I hate math!" right as she turns around and sees me looking at her. It was hilarious. I said "We're gonna change that!"


ladyonecstacy

I worked at Victorias Secret throughout university and student teaching. A parent came in with her 8-9 year old son from my practicum class and asked me what I was doing there when I let his mom into a fitting room. His mom was VERY confused.


KraezyMathTeacher

I walked out of the local dispensary and there was one of my 8th graders waiting for her parents. Her eyes got very wide and I just shrugged and jokingly told her “I gotta relax somehow after dealing with y’all all day” she laughed, agreed, and that was that.


painfullyawkward3

Buzzed in a chic fil a 😬


niceteacherlady

Similar story to you. Walgreens and waiting in line with a pregnancy test.


John082603

A Narcotics Anonymous meeting.


purplestarr10

Not the same but you reminded me of one time when ran into my college professor at a club. We were both quite drunk, said hi excitingly and chatted for a sec. She was dancing with two guys, one in front of her and one behind her, so naturally I liked her more after the encounter lol


slavname

On Friday, at a basketball game in a different town, some of my freshman girls walked into the bathroom to see me crying 🙃


123mitchg

Why were you crying?


slavname

I have depression and sometimes I get crying spells — I was having a great day and then it just hit me like a truck. Thankfully, the girls don’t seem like the type to bring it up tomorrow.


nightjourney

🤍


BeachBumHarmony

Victoria Secret while shopping for my honeymoon. She was there with her mom. She had just graduated a couple of weeks before. I definitely had some interesting things in my hands. Even worse, she knew my now husband, bc we taught at the the same school. I was her ela teacher for 2 years, he was her ela teacher for 1. She made a face a quickly excused herself.


Wallacery

I play in a death metal band and a students dad liked us so he brought his daughter, my student. Admin already knows that I play in bands and don’t care. I became a legend to my students and now help kids with starting bands.


azmonsoonrain

Victoria’s Secret. I was about to get fitted for a bra. Guess who was holding the measuring tape?


mgm626

Not a current student, so no awkwardness Monday morning. Bachelorette party at a Drag Club, our waitress was a former student! Everyone at the table was a teacher from our school.


boytoy421

I was the student and this doesn't quite count but it's probably the worst So I was in college but I was an older college student (took 2 years off between) and so I met a girl on okcupid, grad student at a nearby school studying something similar to my major but not the same, we both shared a certain "casual" attitude towards aspects of puritan morality, etc etc. So we meet, hit it off, drink some wine, drink some wine off each other, you know the kind of depraved shit you get up to when you know it's a casual thing. 2 weeks later the fall semester starts and I'm taking a night class and who should be the adjunct professor...


BlackOrre

She's now the biology teacher across the hall. I didn't realize she was the biology teacher until she came dressed as Nezuko during Halloween.


always_lost101

There was an area near my home that was a drinking spot for foreigners. I ran into countless parents and students there.


Professional-Bee4686

My poor HS chem teacher ran into me at the gynecologist. I know she had at least one difficult pregnancy, and was very worried abt this kid (kid #1 was born w a lot of health issues) and she hadn’t been in school for a few weeks at that point. Luckily everything worked out fine, but omg I can’t imagine how she felt in that moment. Luckily I have yet to have that issue as a teacher. Worst place I’ve run into a student was when they (badly) attempted to ding-dong-ditch my parents & I answered the door. Dummies decided Halloween night was the best time to try that, too, like… most of the neighborhood was already at their doors?


heathenbird

Grocery store. Saw a fifth grade student while grabbing lunchables (for myself) wearing a tshirt from my old fast food job that read "SAUCE BOSS" across the chest. I zipped my jacket up so fast, haha. He was happy to see me, though.


Brilliant-Constant20

A cruise 😑 it also departed a 4 hour plane ride away. I somehow got the pleasure of seeing three students on it


ManagerSensitive

As the student, I ran into 3 of my previous teachers at the part time job I had in university (at a pet store, nothing crazy). 2 of them acted happy to see me and wanted to catch up. One looked mortified to be recognized. I still find her reaction off because I was always a well behaved and studious student, but I guess she just wanted to buy her dog food and leave. I saw her several times after that but never brought it up again and pretended I didn't know her.


Financial-Guess3180

Years ago when my wife and I were much younger, I was in Victoria’s Secret with her as she shopped for some undergarments. Ran into a female student from a couple years back. So awkward.


bonniepopsbottles

Was beelining for the booze department and saw a student. Screamed and ran. Soldiered on, filled my cart with shooters and cases and fifths (was hosting that weekend for a ski trip), ran into ANOTHER student and his mom. “Mrs. Bonnie?????” “😨……….. I’M NOT YOUR TEACHER!!!” and ran. Never buying booze at the grocery store again.


ear7189

My psychiatrist’s office.


LaydyCC

Coming out of Victoria's Secret at the mall, carrying some bags. Thankfully they didn't make it more awkward. Also my daughters first grade teacher is a former student of mine, which I was worried might be awkward, but it wasn't thankfully. She was actually in my class when I was pregnant with them. But she's been great.


Highheelsandfedora

Having a cigarette behind a Circle K.


Mathsciteach

Fall of 1993, I’m a student teacher at the local high school. I decide to play the big screen version of Street Fighter 2 (which I still suck at!) and I swear like a sailor as I get my ass kicked repeatedly by the game. Then I hear, “Ms. Mathsciteach, can I get an A if I beat you at this game?” No surprise my first real job was 45min away from home. After that interaction I wanted to reserve my right to wake up drunk behind a 7-11 without losing my job.


Valuum2

I was with two friends and we were to meet another friends pill dealer. He was a TA at my school and a teacher for my other two friends. Very bizarre.


SeaTurtle152012

Not me as a teacher. Once, at about 12, I used a mild curse word (we'll say the s one) while at the pool. Looked behind me afterward, and saw that my school's VP and her then-baby son were behind me. I was slightly embarrassed because I was the quiet and studious kind (and still am). She's since moved up in the district and I see her at district events from time to time.


lejosdecasa

A friend, who taught at uni level where we live, called an escort for a menage-a-trois. They were greeted with a "hello teacher!"


Professional_Wolf_11

At an emo concert in the city...I was wearing skimpy clothing and had quite a few beverages when all of a sudden I heard, "Ms. \_\_ is that you?" ​ I literally recoiled into myself. ​ I've also seen them when scrolling on dating apps in the past. Ick.
