Dear Jerk RA

[Greenday]

I don't mean to be snarky but I don't see the point in going to a dry campus if you're a drinker by any means. Too risky.

Because I'm getting a better education for my interests than I would elsewhere. And it's cheap.

well to be honest the other reason i didn't say anything was... I didn't always live in my apartment.

the apartments were kinda easy to break into, and i went on deployment sometimes.
(and i'd already had a break in)

course being on deployment also meant i got to escape the noise.


oh and base-guitar-guy (here) moved out i think.
people next door are active but... not really "noisy". it just takes me a while to get use to hearing people coming up and down the stairs whenever someone new moves in

While don't you penny his door?

While don't you penny his door?

That makes cents.

or how about some musical retribution?

i can honestly say i've used Mandy Patinkin as a weapon before - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yerr6xA3BAE

family above mom had a son that played electric guitar ALL day long despite apartment rules of "one hour a day". He also sucked at it.
Usually he'd stop when mom played her stereo but one day he wouldn't. So I played that song on my laptop & by the end, he was silent.

(the family was eventually evicted due to multiple noise disturbances, from the constant guitar to running the vacuum at midnight, etc)

Depending on the school, if you get caught, you could get fined. When I lived in the dorms, pennying someone in got you a $50 fine.

But, the ultimate revenge...happened to my roommate. Apparently, he'd come back drunk too many times, and pissed off my neighbors. So, one night I was helping someone across the hall with their accounting homework. Only a few minutes, what could happen right? Well, I left the door unlocked...neighbors got into the room, wrapped a sheet over him, and *stapled* his drunk ass to the wooden bed frame

Sorry for being ignorant, but what is pennying a door?

[McGoddess09]

I think it's throwing pennies at someone's door. Am I right?

[protege]

You force pennies into the door jamb, causing the door to stick, and the room occupant...to be "tied up" for a bit. Should mention that doing so is dangerous--in the event of a fire, that person is definitely screwed.

[Ironclad Alibi]

There are two ways to penny a door. If you put the pennies on the hinge side, it will prevent the door from pivoting open. If you put the pennies on the knob side, the pressure will prevent the latch from withdawing into the door when the knob is turned.
