Dear Jerk RA

[Greenday]

I know you are the RA and there's a foot of snow on the roads meaning campus police won't come here for a noise violation. But Friday night or not, it's 1:17am you prick and listening to your shitty music on volume level 11 with bass at level 11, plus your stomping around, is inexcusable. I know what's going on and the only reason I don't have you busted is because you don't bust us (not that I'm dumb enough to get caught regardless), but it's 1:19am and I'm tired and I'd like to sleep. This is campus housing. Quiet Hours started at midnight, which you know damn well since you are the RA.

So fuck off, choke on and pass out in your vomit, but make sure to turn your crap music off first before passing out. If you pass out first, it'll never end.

You're a true prick you douche,

Uh . . . did you try knocking on his door and asking him politely to turn it down?

[Greenday]

No, I had a few beers and didn't want to deal with him getting me back by writing me up. Plus we already had a ton of snow so I didn't want to go outside.

You made your bed then, sir. If you want to bitch about people not following the rules, I'd suggest following them yourself, and I believe it's likely yours is the much worse offence.

Wait, me having a couple beers, not even buzzed, is worse than throwing a party, where there is no doubt plenty of alcohol? How do you figure?

I do seem to recall you saying your campus is dry.

I guess if you don't want to get busted for your alcohol, you can't really tell on somebody else for having alcohol.

[Broomjockey]

where there is no doubt plenty of alcohol?

Supposition. Can you prove there was alcohol there? No? Then don't assume. Assuming will get you in trouble every time, especially in scientific professions.

On the face of it, violating the dry-campus rules is worse than a noise violation.

[rageaholic]

You're not allowed to drink on campus? I don't even drink (much) and even I think that's stupid. Where's the fun in that?

But yeah, keeping people up at night is not cool. I hate those jackasses who drive by at one in the morning with their radio up full blast. At least with them, they'll be gone in a minute, but when they are in the same building as you, it could be hours.

I don't think that just because you were drinking forfeits you the right to vent about asshatery.

Can't drink on campus. Can't drink OFF campus, then return on campus with ANY alcohol in your system. Even if you are 21.

And I since my "crime" is a harmless one, I honestly believe it's the lesser of the two.

[Rapscallion]

When we start getting into the realms of which crime is harmless compared to others, that's Fratching - that deals in what should be. When it's dealing with what is the law etc, that's here.

Just a friendly, neighbourhood reminder.

dang i don't think i'd ever wanna live on that campus.

as for the noise violation... i know how much it sux.
i never reported anyone at my old apartment complex, mostly because i feared someone might find out it was me and get retribution on me somehow.

so yes someone could say it was my fault that my neighbors where noisy fuckheads but... eh it was hell.

here where i live now, there was a guy playing guitar late at night. i thought about complaining but then i realized it was not as bad as the old apartment.

If it's keeping you up, it's worth complaining about.

[zzapp the witch]

Do what I did to the guy playing the sax next door when I lived in an apt. I made cookies to be neighborly and had some musical requests. He switched to lullaby type soft jazz after a certain time every night, just for me. (And he really sucked when he moved in. Guy was dedicated to his instrument and got a lot better).

[Sapphire Silk]

My sympathy is limited then. It's one thing if you try to solve the problem yourself with a polite knock, and "Hey, man, it's late and I'm trying to sleep. Could you turn it down a notch?"

Since you weren't even willing to try, you don't know if your RA would have been reasonable and said, "Sorry, dude. I'll turn it down."

Seems to me you have to own your own misery here.

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.
