hall monitors
Student passage watchers
Hall monitors are students assigned to patrol school hallways during class time, watching for misbehavior or unauthorized movement.
The role extends figuratively to anyone who enforces minor rules with excessive zeal: Nobody asked you to be the hall monitor of the group chat.
The term often carries a mildly dismissive tone, suggesting petty authoritarianism.
