Some of our students did that one year at some event... I feel like it just brought more of them out though.

I am just sick of dealing with this though. I have to take time away from my own students and go track down the other team involved, find a reasonably astute student or an adult, explain to them that they need to stop it while holding some level of self-control so I don't scream at them to stop perpetuating a culture of invading the personal space of others. Meanwhile my students felt threatened, intimidated, and I'm sure a little embarrassed that they have a mentor having these conversations. And then after I've done it, I have to deal with the eye rolling... yeah, I'm the guy in zebra-striped pajama pants and grease covered hands who just told your team to stop harassing my students!!!! It irritates the crap out of me!!!! #TSI

If I had to guess it started because some team brought in clothespins as their team giveaway/button substitute and then boredom took over and now we have a lame tradition that shows no respect for personal space.
