This is why we cant have nice things.

[Kagatos]

So last night, in our dorm, apparently some people ripped off the screens to the bath room window, threw out the trash can, broke the toilet paper covers, broke the soap dispenser, sprayed soap all over the place and threw up in the bathroom. Oh, and broke some of the ceiling tiles in the hall. Why do some people feel the need to just destroy stuff and mess things up for everyone else?

Probably because people seem to have little to no self-control these days and like to blame other things for how they act just so they don't have to take responsibility for their own actions.

Sure drinking a few beers and having a good time with friends is great and fun...but when it turns into a drunken haze with massive damages that's just going way too far.

Because people have no understanding of respect and private property sometimes, unless it involves their own stuff.

 

[Wintermoot]

because people are douche,s you can fix this by punching whoever did it in the gonads

Usually because things that aren't all that funny seem a lot more amusing when drunk?

A lot of the hilarious goings on in my dorm would never have happened without alcohol - the time we clingfilmed someone's door, the road closed sign that moved around the corridor on a regular basis, or the tree that someone woke up to find in their room.
Less fun was the time that someone nearly burnt the place down...
There's a balance between funny banter and anti-social behaviour that some people can find and others can't. You seem to have ended up with the latter group. Sorry!

Please tell me you guys have disassembled someone's room while they were asleep and reassembled it outside. I can promise you it leads to hilarity.

But of course! Also, everyone had a tiny little table for no reason anyone could discern, so we tried piling all of them up outside someone's door. It took him a while to work out how to get out of his room without knocking them over.
Still, we get as good as we give, and I recall waking up once or twice to find my door tied to the one across the corridor, or finding my entire DVD collection replaced with breakfast cereal... good times!

Sigh. This is why there's 40 stalls and three stall doors in my school.

Heh, reminds me off the time my friend got so drunk, he made paper aeroplanes, set them on fire and threw them out of his window (overlooking a street).
I didn't get involved, cuz I was a good kid. Although I DID encourage him to drink. Maybe assistedin the aeroplane making. Nudged the lighter in his direction perhaps...

and that reminds my older brother set paper airplanes on fire and threw them in the house yep ruined a brand new floor boy was mom mad

Anyone who uses drinking as an excuse is just simply weak minded. Only thing being drunk does is mess with your perception and reaction time. People who get 'drunk' and go and partake in stupid actions are weak minded individuals, sorry to be so close minded about this but its the same thing as being hypnotized. You pretty much have to 'act' like being drunk. Or 'act' like your being hypnotized. Or your resolve is so weak that you think a substance can completely control your psyche, opinions, judgment, and attitude.

Not entirely true, it does alter your psyche slightly, for example i would never usually vomit in the hood of my friends top, but at the time all i saw it as was a receptacle.

As alcohol increases inhibitions decrease, yes some predisposition towards violence must be there to begin with, but it is much more likely to come out when you cannot see the consequences.

Also, people did this when i went to Uni. All you can do is try to ignore it and carry on (and maybe report said people if you know who they were).

 

[emeraldrafael]

because peeple who do that stuff like to look cool without fear of consequence and dont see why they cant. They dont have to worry so they dont care, they just live int he moment.

 

[dex-dex]

because destruction of items is quite a bit of fun!

it sucks for the person who has to clean it up but for the person who is doing it. It is a good time by all. i should know i have been known to cause some destruction of items. especially walls in my house!

I always say that phrase to my dog when she breaks something.
"YOU SEE? this is why we can't have nice things! because of your shenanigans!"
and she just lies on the floor and looks at me with her bug eyes.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

ahem

 

[zehydra]

because its fun.

I'd shoot you and people like you if I could.
I try to be fair in my judging of people, but when it comes to things like this, I get to the point where my sense of reason does NOT prevail over my rage.
There's something seriously wrong with you.

 

[zehydra]

People who find it fun to destroy like that are people who don't shouldn't be in society.

 

[zehydra]

Because people have no understanding of respect and private property sometimes, unless it involves their own stuff.

Exactly. Although I'd be afraid to use the word "people". I'd use "people who are assholes"

 

[Latinidiot]

Just sigh. Ah well, do a DNA analysis of the vomit and charge the fuckers! >

I didn't know that was possible? I think that the DNA you would get is tomatoe DNA from the sandwich the guy just ate.

Because they are fucked up in the head.

When I use to live in dorm hall, stuff like it happened all the time. We even got charged money from our deposit because someone apparently while drunk, ran into a drinking fountain, knocked it off the wall, and carried it off. I know there were people that knew who did it, but they wouldn't tell, so everybody got charged.

Lastly the most messed up thing, someone smeared their crap all over the bathroom walls and left some laying on the floor in the showers.

Of course they couldn't find the culprit.

Just sigh. Ah well, do a DNA analysis of the vomit and charge the fuckers! >

And this is what I said about the crap wall indecent. To quote a great and funny television series, "Check the poo."

 

[zehydra]

unfortunately I'm the kind of person who will be seriously bothered for the rest of the day by some of the posts on this thread.

 

[unoleian]

It's something about that "freedom" and a lack of understanding (or not caring about) cause and effect that just lets magnified times infinity when alcohol gets involved.

Freshman year, a group of about 3-4 kids tore through my dorm hall, ripped bulletin boards off the walls, smashed out ceiling tiles, stomped them to pieces and kicked them all over the place, set off the fire extinguishers, and urinated on the RA's door. Disgusting.

Sophomore year, there was a group of about 5 kids that lived in the same hall as me, and would come back ragingly drunk and start holding a "fight club" in the hallway, basically throwing each other into walls and doors, wailing on each other, not caring who got pancaked for being "in the way," and being as vulgar and obnoxious as they could the entire time. The first one or two times, it was legitimately entertaining to watch this, but it becoming a damn-near constant Wednesday-Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday 10-2am sort of thing got very tiring. Literally. Oh, and then there was the time they completely dismantled the communal study area, tore apart the furniture, and "accidentally" put a couch through a window, somehow.

How these people get into college in the first place is beyond me.

By comparison, I think the most outrageous thing I did with anyone was when we set off the entire fire alarm system for our wing by testing the magnetic locks on the "emergency exit only" doors for a second too long.....uh, whoops.

 

[Zyphonee]

Because they feel the need to prove their superiority towards SOMETHING.

Be that a garbage can or a defenseless window.

 

[zehydra]

Because that sorta stuff always seems like a fantastic idea when you're drunk.

And people wonder why dry people hate drunk people so much.
