Walter White In Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad

With hair as red as the surface of the boiling hot sun, Erin walks into a giant concrete building. She is wearing her favorite outfit; black converse sneakers, black skinny jeans, and a black oversized t-shirt. But she is not emo, she just likes her outfit. Once she enters the school, she stumbles and almost trips while she is cutting through the crowd of mean teenaged kids. As she passes each teen, she listens while their mouths whisper “Oh my God!

As a result, when they saw him working another job that was more embarrassing, they were shocked. This caused Chad to take the picture of Walter and make those comments to him. If Chad and his girlfriend did not think he was just a boring chemistry teacher, they would not have been shocked to see him at the car wash.
