Uh Oh, Professor Was Not Trying To Play Footsie

Published Saturday, February 18th, 2023

Thirty seconds too late, student Jenny Dunks realized her professor was not trying to play footsie.

“I was finished with my test and bored and Professor Helms’ foot kept kicking my desk leg,” said Dunks, confused by her professor’s signals. “To me that’s an obvious footsie invite.”

“After our feet first made contact, she moved hers back,” said Dunks, embarrassed to have misread the room. "All I could think was ‘wow, she is so bad at footsie.’”

“I think it finally hit me when I was walking back to my dorm,” said Dunks, learning a valuable lesson about professor-student boundaries. “I probably should’ve waited until after class was over.”

At press time, Dunks discovered the smiley face next to her A+ was not a coded invite to a cuddling session.
