My God, Strawberries! How big is your department?
Earlier this year I had an experience similar to anonymous. It was a few months into the semester and there was a reception of sorts for grad students and faculty and I was standing talking to two senior males from my department when a third senior male walked up to the conversation and started it by asking if it was my first, or my second, year of grad school. Luckily I didn't have to say a word because the other two stepped in.
What makes it so sad is that these "little" interactions actually speak volumes, yet they're so often overlooked or thought of as unimportant.
