----------------------------------- Aoi Thu Feb 10, 2005 12:03 am Sugguestion on what to do with annoying people in res! ----------------------------------- okay okay I'm sitting in my room which is pretty far from the hallway (I live in an apartment style residence) and I would here this runing (more like a hippo running) down the hall and it would consist ever 5-20 minutes... even in the middle of the nite! got any sugguestion to stop this certian female dog? ----------------------------------- Dan Thu Feb 10, 2005 1:58 am ----------------------------------- Well we all ready came up with the trip line idea......some times i feal like going out there with a baseball bat and leting them "run in to it" (for leagal reason it whould be them runing in to the baseball bat not me hiting them with it :twisted:). It whould be nice if the R.A. whould at least talk to them, i mean it most be anyoing every one on this side of the floor..... ----------------------------------- Martin Thu Feb 10, 2005 8:08 am ----------------------------------- Well we all ready came up with the trip line idea......some times i feal like going out there with a baseball bat and leting them "run in to it" (for leagal reason it whould be them runing in to the baseball bat not me hiting them with it :twisted:). It whould be nice if the R.A. whould at least talk to them, i mean it most be anyoing every one on this side of the floor..... Relative velocity. Hell, you could argue that the earth threw the person into your baseball bat at 300m/s, and you were trying to move it away so they didn't get hurt, but the fastest you could do it was at 280m/s. :) ----------------------------------- McKenzie Thu Feb 10, 2005 8:36 am ----------------------------------- I always avoided Res for the very reason you are bringing up, put together a group of first year students and you will always get some idiots. Seems to me these are your options: 1. Ask them to stop. The problem with this is that it identifies you to the idiot. If you follow any further steps the dog will know that it is you. 2. Complain to the powers that be. I'm not sure who exactly is in charge there but someone is supposed to ensure that the environment is suitable for living and learning. 3. If you get no results go up the chain of command. All the way to the dean if need be. 4. In most towns making disturbing noise after 11:00 is against the law. If you know who the person is you can call the police. They will come out and talk to the person. You hafta play up the importance of it. (I have a test tomorrow, it gives me a pounding headache, it makes me scared...) Keep in mind that the type of dog who runs around at all hours of the day probably won't be there next year. Idiot count goes down in second year because they just can't cut it. Best advice - make plans to leave res. there will always be idiots there. ----------------------------------- Delos Thu Feb 10, 2005 9:55 am ----------------------------------- Rez life isn't always that terrible. In the case of the idiots...they're there, they'll always be there. Your R.A.s (ha! We call them CAs here) should really have a talk with them. Hopefully they're professional-types, so they won't be mentioning your name in the convo. As for moving off-campus...sure it's a step forward and all - and you won't have to contend w/ campus food that much...but there's something about rez life that makes the whole experience a little more worthwhile. Possibly the challenge it poses...or maybe the communal spirit that is oft raised...hmm...- ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Feb 10, 2005 10:24 am ----------------------------------- Leave it to McKenzie to come up with a sensible, non-crazy solution. My idea would require total darkness. You say this happens at night so I just assumed it would be dark in the hallway. Anyways, you and your anti-biatch squad go around the hallway [url=http://www.entertheninja.com/ninja_fun/shirt_ninja.shtml]Ninja style (so you can't get be identified) and use laser pointers. Feel free to try and find something better than lasers to use on the target. Just make sure you're out of there before she realises what's going on. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Thu Feb 10, 2005 5:53 pm ----------------------------------- Ear plugs? ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Feb 10, 2005 5:58 pm ----------------------------------- Kill them. simple, i heard aoi is capable of that. ----------------------------------- md Thu Feb 10, 2005 9:04 pm ----------------------------------- fishing line is amazingly invisible in certain situations... and it works wonders at neck height... ----------------------------------- rizzix Thu Feb 10, 2005 9:08 pm ----------------------------------- goodness. ur evil. ----------------------------------- wtd Thu Feb 10, 2005 9:18 pm ----------------------------------- Best advice - make plans to leave res. there will always be idiots there. If your campus has special interest houses, make plans to live in one of those. The kind of people who live in such places are generally more focused and less disruptive. ----------------------------------- Asok Fri Feb 11, 2005 12:04 am ----------------------------------- the solution to your problem is simple: UNLEASH THE SNAKES! :twisted: ----------------------------------- md Fri Feb 11, 2005 2:35 am ----------------------------------- er... snakes are too much work... best just to get some mice... :P ----------------------------------- Martin Fri Feb 11, 2005 7:03 am ----------------------------------- Thumb tacks. Although I have to say, Cornflake, that we pretty much qualified as being the annoying people in res (along with, well, 70% of our floor). All of the signs were there. :D ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Feb 11, 2005 9:33 am ----------------------------------- ah Martin, you're so funny :roll: But you're right about being annoying. So I'm living off-campus next term :wink: ----------------------------------- md Fri Feb 11, 2005 2:08 pm ----------------------------------- Thumb tacks. Although I have to say, Cornflake, that we pretty much qualified as being the annoying people in res (along with, well, 70% of our floor). All of the signs were there. :D We wern't that annoying... and quiet about the signs... Besides it was called noisy hour... what else were we supposed to do? And that one time with the fire alarm at 4 in the morning wasn't even us! ----------------------------------- greenapplesodaex Wed Feb 23, 2005 10:02 am ----------------------------------- Well we all ready came up with the trip line idea...... the first thing that came to my mind ----------------------------------- MihaiG Wed Feb 23, 2005 4:44 pm ----------------------------------- venemous snakes.... :lol: pot-holes? ----------------------------------- md Wed Feb 23, 2005 5:51 pm ----------------------------------- you could do like some ass hole drunks did to our floor and break all the lights in the hall... my room mate managed to get a peice stuck in his foot ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Wed Feb 23, 2005 6:19 pm ----------------------------------- i read about this, i don't know if it would work, someone let me know... what you need to do is get your hands on some liquid nitrogen and fill a bucket with it then you blow up a lot of baloons and put them in the bucket so they shrink you then carry the bucket and put it in someone's room so when the gas evaporates the baloons expand back to full size, filling the room. Or you could do it without the whole liquid nitrogen part, although that would take a long time. ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Feb 23, 2005 8:39 pm ----------------------------------- And the purpose of that is? ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Feb 23, 2005 9:34 pm ----------------------------------- phenolthalien in the water supply. :) ----------------------------------- TheZsterBunny Thu Feb 24, 2005 3:35 am ----------------------------------- phenolphthalein maybe? - or - phenylalanine ? both of which are dangerous. ...and powerful laxatives. sometimes i wonder how i even know this stuff... -Z ----------------------------------- Aoi Thu Feb 24, 2005 8:59 am ----------------------------------- I'm trying to hurt them and only them and not drag myself into the danger too! ----------------------------------- greenapplesodaex Thu Feb 24, 2005 10:00 am ----------------------------------- I'm trying to hurt them and only them and not drag myself into the danger too! lolololol yell at them in your native language (not dirty words though) and then slam the door, that'll leave them in shock for about 30 sec ----------------------------------- Martin Thu Feb 24, 2005 12:23 pm ----------------------------------- Write 'death' on your teeth and then grin at them when you see them in the hall. ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Feb 24, 2005 2:01 pm ----------------------------------- Congratulations, Martin, hat was the best suggestion yet. You've just won my official temporary EM award. All I could think of is a variation of yours: On your upper teeth: I KILL U On your lower teeth: ^_^ ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Feb 24, 2005 2:35 pm ----------------------------------- official temporary EM award. That better be an actual model for actual EM :? ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Feb 24, 2005 2:55 pm ----------------------------------- 'Fraid not, tony.

Well don't be surprised if you find you room coated in diet coke the day after... did you know that diet coke cans explode if thrown at walls? ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Mon Feb 28, 2005 9:55 pm ----------------------------------- you could do like some ass hole drunks did to our floor and break all the lights in the hall... my room mate managed to get a peice stuck in his foot hahaha, ashole drunks....... that's so gonna be me. Well don't be surprised if you find you room coated in diet coke the day after... did you know that diet coke cans explode if thrown at walls? are we talking drywall here? i would think that the can would probably punch throught the wall before bursting? ----------------------------------- md Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:21 pm ----------------------------------- no no; these are brick walls... here's what you do: Step 1: put diet coke in a freezer just long enough so it doesn't freeze, but is as cold as possible. Step 2: find wall. Step 3: throw can. Step 4: repeat. I'd advise doing it where you won't get caught (or late at night), and if possible getting the cans for free (say from a broken open vending machine...); also watch for spray, these cans can spread coke over a REALLY large area... Although not quite harse enough to do to someone you hate, a good practical joke to play is to turn all of someones furniture upside down (within reason), but make it look right side up... works particulary well with drawers... ----------------------------------- person Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:41 pm ----------------------------------- how do u make it look right side up??? and all soda cans explode when thrown at walls ----------------------------------- Bacchus Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:19 pm ----------------------------------- im guessing he meat as in drawers where you can put the drawer in upside down and it doesnt look that diff from right side up, and that way when the person opens up the drawer :) ----------------------------------- person Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:33 pm ----------------------------------- Oo i get it, dat is pretty funny ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Wed Mar 02, 2005 1:59 pm ----------------------------------- use one of those noise killer things, they work pretty well. I live right by the lounge, and there are usually ppl drinking until 2-3AM so its much worse :( ----------------------------------- Aoi Wed Mar 02, 2005 3:08 pm ----------------------------------- hmm or one of my friends sugguested to put all their belongs in the washroom incuding their mattress and chair ----------------------------------- person Wed Mar 02, 2005 5:21 pm ----------------------------------- and how would u do that? ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:39 pm ----------------------------------- and how would u do that? you could do it with a few friends, or: get a case of beer and tell some guys they can have it if they move the stuff for you. ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:24 pm ----------------------------------- I think that the main obstacle would be getting into the room. Specifically, when the occupant(s) aren't around. ----------------------------------- MihaiG Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:28 pm ----------------------------------- id say get some guy with a machete ti stand in the hall...and no one will create trouble ----------------------------------- Pickles Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:56 pm ----------------------------------- Well don't be surprised if you find you room coated in diet coke the day after... did you know that diet coke cans explode if thrown at walls? good to see your atleast wasting the crap stuff. just do the rebuild the running volkswagon beetle in their room, they wont know what hit them, carbon monoxide has the tendency to do that ----------------------------------- MyPistolsIn3D Wed Mar 02, 2005 10:29 pm ----------------------------------- I think that the main obstacle would be getting into the room. Specifically, when the occupant(s) aren't around. Kick the door till it breaks? ----------------------------------- Aoi Thu Mar 03, 2005 2:53 pm ----------------------------------- none of the drunks lock their room doors and no one on this floor locks their appartment doors ask dan ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Mar 03, 2005 3:31 pm ----------------------------------- ask dan You know as well as we do that Dan is unreachable :? ----------------------------------- md Sat Mar 05, 2005 8:24 pm ----------------------------------- if they don't lock their doors then one thing you can do is spray the stuff from glowsticks everywhere in their rooms, it's nice because it glows really bright, but it goes away after a few hours. And they'll never be able to prove you did it :) ----------------------------------- person Sat Mar 05, 2005 8:53 pm ----------------------------------- and thats gonna get ur point across how?? ----------------------------------- md Sat Mar 05, 2005 11:13 pm ----------------------------------- no, but it's lots of fun; oh and it smells really bad after it dries ----------------------------------- person Sat Mar 05, 2005 11:30 pm ----------------------------------- no, but it's lots of fun; oh and it smells really bad after it dries i take it uv been victimvized??? (wait is that even a word??) ----------------------------------- md Sun Mar 06, 2005 1:13 pm ----------------------------------- nope... but i have done it to otheres before :D ----------------------------------- MyPistolsIn3D Sun Mar 06, 2005 2:28 pm ----------------------------------- If i wanted to get a point across I would get an axe and stick it in their wall then write "Keep the fucking noise down" in fake blood beside it. ----------------------------------- Aoi Mon Mar 07, 2005 1:02 am ----------------------------------- they can probably trace that then I'll be fucking screwed ----------------------------------- Lysa Fri Mar 11, 2005 9:36 am ----------------------------------- Hahahahaha!! and you have to live with the same people next year, although they will be in the other wing, they will still be on the floor!!
