the other day i walked past a couple sitting on the grass, enjoying the sunshine, and calling out to people they seemed to know. however, none of the people were answering back! the first girl was on her ipod, so i rationalized that she just had not heard them. but then they called to another guy, and i heard laughter, and i figured out what was going on.
they were calling out random names to see if people would turn and look at them/say hi to them!
i would have been more embarassed for them, but i am somewhat ashamed to admit that i have done the same thing (i did it at cross-country races all the time...).
this might be labelled as rare, but today i was walking past a group of people and one of the guys called out "hi!" i looked and gave him a slight smile, just in case i was supposed to know him, but as i walked away once again i heard laughter and realized what they were doing.
this oddity has perhaps been brought on by the stress of finals week and/or the crazy frigid weather that has kept people in the library for far too many weeks of the semester.
