Stupid people

[willard3]

So tonight at about midnight, a whole bunch of fireworks go off outside my dorm. Some idiots decided to rig some up and give campus security heart attacks (I was inside at the time; I thought they were shotgun blasts). We'll probably get a nice official email stating that everyone caught outside during the incident will be questioned and/or suspended. Lovely.

Just a few weeks ago, one kid was suspended and another expelled for throwing a broken-down printer out of a window and videotaping it (ala Office Space). No one was hurt, and it was cleaned up afterwards.

Never a dull day on a college campus. Some guy at my school jumped off the third floor of my dorm. He broke his ankle, but he was so drunk he didn't feel it.

hah, i love dorm rooms.. always something to entertain yourself with.. except when you have finals

Greatest prank at our school went something like this. All our doors had those handicap handles as door knobs. Furthermore, all doors open inside the dorm room. This allowed someone to tie all the doors together so that no door could be opened. It was for the first floor a lousy prank, because we had tall windows that could be easily stepped out of. However on the second story it was quite a bit different. There were people trying to crawl down the wall or trying to jump.

Ahhh, the memories!

One year some one started a fire on my floor at 4am. Luckily no one was hurt and nobody's belongings were damaged.

Last night at midnight, about 200 students gathered on the quad to give a 'primal scream' of frustration regarding finals.

It was rather impressive.

Haha, thats great! The closest thing odd student gathering I can think of is the Undie Run on my campus. At midnight on some day, guys and gals run a track through our university in... their undies! It was a random idea, but it grew. They now do it for charity, and have police escort.

Go University of Florida!!!

As for dorms, I never lived in one, but I had some friends on the 3rd floor. Security personal was light, but there were cardkey locked doors guarding the entrance, and then a buffer zone, and then doors to the floor, and then doors to the floor entrances.

I foolishly realized too late that I couldn't just waltz in, even if it was the males dorm.

However I managed to navigate every door by talkin on a cell to no one and walking towards the door as someone from inside came out. Thank you kindly!

Safe to say that my friends were curious how I got up there.

Wow, I think you guys need more weird engg kids at your schools. As an example, one year a group of engg kids at my school lowered a VW beetle around a sculpture in one of the science buildings. Somehow, they managed to put a hole through the car so that it coulf be lowered right down. The car had been mard water tight, in spite of the hole, and they proceded to fill the car with water. They also had a process riggedu p for how to remove all the water without doing any damage, but campus security smashed the windows instead, causing no small amount of damage.

Actually a lot of the pranks that require some serious planning come out of the engineering kids.

I can never get away from stupid people. They seem to flock to me. I have a frustrating job which makes me deal with people who only think they know what they are talking about. Nothing is more annoying than for some one above me who doesn't know a thing about my job, to tell me how to do it and giving sugestions the whole way. I HATE STUPID PEOPLE.
I need to rephrase, I love my job. I hate stupid people.

I work with some very "intellectually challanged" inviduals

Ugh...stupid people:

I used to live in a dorm on a strict bible college campus, girls only/guys only dorms. Anyway, the guys would knock on the doors and and the person in the lobby would answer, and they would ALWAYS want someone on the 2nd floor. Its like they expected me to walk all the way upstairs, and get the person..!! Most of the time the girl would be like, 'I dont want to talk to him.' I got to the point where i would give the guy the number for upstairs and make him call...so happy i left dorm life behind!

Yes, I am Military as well. Mixing stupid with guns just isn't cool. No matter wich way you throw the dice, they are still stupid with guns.

Being a supply tech, I've seen some pretty big foolups, and don't even get me started on the brass

Last year my roommate was a fairly new and naive drinker. He came from a conservative Vietnamese family and hadn't drank before coming to uni. He would try to keep up with the rural Albertan boys and the second years who all had 3 or 4 years of time to build up resistances and he would just make an absolute idiot of himself.

One night stands out though, in that he managed to evacuate a tower of 400 people at around 3am on the first weekend of midterm exams. He was sleeping in his bed while myself and a friend were up watching movies and playing video games. He'd jump up every so often, run down the hall and puke in the bathroom, then come back and pass out again. This happened a few times before my friend asked, "Do you think we should help him?" to which I replied "No." Immediately after I said this, I heard to door to our wing open and one of the other floormates begin pleading with my roommate to "Don't puke there, come in here... puke in the bathroom". Turns out he was leaning against the doorframe for the bathroom and dry-heaving. So my floormate yanks him into the tiled bathroom at the last second and avoids puke on our carpet. However, as he was pulling, my roommate reached out for a handhold... of course he finds the fire alarm handle.

Needless to say, I wasn't too pleased nor were the other 400-someodd people in the tower. He somehow managed to avoid having to pick up the bill for 3 firetrucks, 1 fire marshall cruiser, 15+ firefighters all being called out for what amounted to at least an hour (which means he would have been charged for 2 hours because any portion of an hour counts as a full hour.) I mean, I don't know how it happened, but this close to 3000$ bill wasn't levied against him...

PS - I love dorms... I'm going to be coming back for my 4th year in the freshman dorms with 2 other buddies (we're all on some committee or hold some post in our res) so it should be a lot of fun. I mean, I just got my own single room this year, so I want to enjoy it! I've got all the tricks and special techniques down pat so I want a chance to enjoy a full year with them.

You think the dorms are crazy, you should live in the ghetto some time.

I'll never forget the last year of high school. 30 grads got arrested, grad prank gone wrong. Actually nothing went wrong, they just destroyed the gym floor and wrecked a whole bunch of chairs, just as they planned. It was odd standing outside in the smoke pit watching police cars come and go all day until all 30 or so were cuffed. They all got their prom priveleges stripped as well.

 

[coolchicka]

Why do people even have to do stuff like that in the first place?
