What do you do when...

Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley
1

<p>You walk into a lecture and two friends wave at you, they don’t know each other and are sitting in different places. You need to ignore one person to sit with the other?</p>

2

<p>wave to the one as you head over to sit near the second. At the end of the class, try to walk up to the first one and say hello.</p>

3

<p>^ Exactly right.</p>

4

<p>talk about an awkward situation</p>

5

<p>Or you could pretend you didn’t see either of your friends and, as you find a seat nowhere near them, keep looking at the floor? xD</p>

6

<p>Don’t sit next to either of them. PROBLEM SOLVED. then you have two convos to strike after class. boy, won’t you feel popular…</p>

7

<p>hmm is anyone a sociology major here? I’d like to hear an academic explanation to what is the best option here lol, but yeah I like rider’s idea and I’ve seen it implemented</p>

<p>A:
Wave at both of them and then act like your cellphone just rang… pick it up and act like you’re having a conversation so you just ‘blindly’ pick a random seat (nowhere near either of your friends ofc) :P!</p>

<p>But this might not work since there is usually no signal at most big-sized lecture classrooms >_<!</p>

<p>B:
Logically, I would just probably pick the one closest to me since the one furthest would understand the proximity factor of why you chose the other seat and not theirs :O. </p>

<p>If you decide to go to the friend further away, that might cause the friend closer to you to get a bit angry at you lol :P!</p>

<p>C:
Act like you entered the wrong lecture and walk out!</p>

9

<p>you could also always just sit near one and after introducing the 2, invite the other one over to join you…</p>

10

<p>^^ good solution</p>

11

<p>Pick the girl that you like more and find more attractive. Then, when you are sitting next to your favorite girl, pretend to ignore her so she likes you more and becomes intrigued (text message the other girl) ; P</p>

12

<p>^^ oh god. that wouldnt work, unless she was about 16, lol.</p>

13

<p>High school girls stay the same age. Huzzah</p>

<p>On topic: what a ridiculous question. The obvious answer is to flip off both your friends and head towards the front of the room so you can brown nose.</p>
