Student Really Freaked Out Over Party Comment
PHILADELPHIA—Twenty-year-old Justin Walling, a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, got really freaked out over a comment that was made to him at a party Saturday night.
Sources report that Walling was approached by fellow sophomore Phillip Mosley, who acted surprised to see Walling at the party and then stated how good it was to see Walling again.
"He was all like 'I haven't seen you since last year. It's great to see you again,'" Walling told reporters. "But I had seen him since last year! I see him every day. We live in the same building; we just never really talk to each other anymore."
Experts hypothesize that Walling and Mosley had gone through what is referred to in the psychiatric community as a "falling out" since their freshman year. Somehow, however, Mosley had not realized that their friendship had ended, and decided to pick-up with Walling as if the two had not had any contact since the previous school year.
"I've never seen anything like this before," said Dr. Rush Millar of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. "The second boy, Mosley, you would have thought he would have seen the first guy a bunch of times, and since neither of them spoke to each other, he would of realized that their friendship had ended, but to suddenly pick things up as if they had never experiences all of those awkward moments. That's really weird."
"That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you," exclaimed Walling in response to Dr. Millar's analysis. "He had to have seen me all of those times. Unless he's blind. Do you think he could be blind?"
Experts, although confused as to how Walling could respond to comments made by Millar at a different place and time as Walling's interview, generally agree that Mosley is probably not blind, just friendly.
"Hey, the guy was just trying to be nice," said Walling's friend and classmate, Joseph Greystone. "Give the guy a break."
Reporters tried to contact Mosley for an interview, but he just responded to the reporters with a slight nod. It is unclear whether or not Mosley realized that the people with whom he was talking to were reporters.
