Hallway Etiquette


     1. Pace- If you're walking slower  than the kid with a broken leg then you deserve every shoe stepped on  & shoulder bump you receive.  Your class may be close by, but you should be considerate of those who have a longer trek.  I'm not saying you should be that kid that sprints to class, when they clearly have enough time to make it to class punctually, but come on y'all; There's a happy medium.
     2. Patience is a virtue-  This motto may seem to contradict number one, but there's no need to plow through a cross hall or any other crowded area.  This action will only lead to evil glares & bad first impressions.  If you're at a section in the hallway that is at a standstill, trying to nudge people along will only result in failure.  It will be more beneficial to you and those around you to wait your turn.
     3. Please don't be so surprised when a student attempting to get through the hall in a timely manner, walks through you and your significant other holding hands.  I'm not saying you should never hold hands, but just be more aware that you're creating a blockage that has the potential to take up half off the hall.
     4.  Be more aware of your surroundings-  Those lockers you and your friends stand in front of aren't empty, and the people staring at you patiently probably aren't just admiring your outfit.
     4a.  Don't turn the corner in the hallway when standing right next to a wall, there's usually someone walking the opposite way as you and an awkward collision is never fun.
