Just accidentally waved at a total stranger and now i need a new identity

was walking across campus today and someone from a distance raised their hand. i instinctively waved back like we were long-lost friends.

turns out they were just signaling to someone way behind me. so now i’m the random stranger who enthusiastically waved at thin air.

to make it worse, we made brief eye contact after they realized… and i swear there was this tiny awkward smile exchange that somehow made it 100x more embarrassing.

might start wearing sunglasses indoors from now on.
