So, I live in a dorm on campus at my university. There is a guy next door, that nobody knows, I have never even seen this guy, but I hear his alarm clock. Three times in the past three weeks it has gone off for over 20 minutes. Today it started going of at 9 in the damn morning, on a Saturday! I wanted to catch up on some sleep, but his alarm has been going off for an hour and 10 minutes, with no signs of stopping. Now I don't think the next door in his room, as I was banging and kicking his door for 10 minutes, and nobody answered. I also informed the RA at the front desk, but nothing has happened.

So, what am I to do about this? Me and a few other guys on my floor think that we should beat his ass, to teach him a lesson, which if this happens one more time, I'll be inclined to do.

How would you all handle this? What should I do?

PS: for all of you in college in the US, you should know how important sleeping in on Saturday is!

you could try talking to him.

when he gets back, tell him that his alarm went off while he was gone. he will be embarrassed. ask him to make sure it never happens again. he will agree.

problem solved.

Break into his room and set fire to his alarm clock.

Clearly higher education does not allow you to progress beyond the "me bash" stage of resolving a problem.:rolleyes:

Given that he lives close by, surely you could go round and ask him to do something about it? Hell, you could even try to get to know him.

I can prolly relate more to that guy you want to beat up.

Nobody knows me, and I tend not to notice alarm clocks ringing.

I agree. Why don't you try talking to that person first?

Perhaps he might have forgotten that he had set the alarm or that the alarm is still set, and went out of the room.

Get used to it.

I just wonder what you will do when you have a baby that won't hush up when its hungry/scared/in pain? Will you get a bunch of people together to beat its ass too?:rolleyes:

Does nobody think to talk to people anymore? Surely your dorm/residence life authority has a set of rules for reconciling disputes. Sure as hell MINE did. There's due process. So start the process.

Uhm, I'm pretty sure that a random person's alarm clock keeping the OP awake is a lot different than the OP's conscious and willing commitment to bring a baby into the world to nurture and provide for.


But, I may be wrong.

Does nobody think to talk to people anymore?
There is a certain class of person who believes that communication is best accomplished via hitting people in morse code. Trollgaard is apparently one such person.
PS: for all of you in college in the US, you should know how important sleeping in on Saturday is!
I am, and I don't. I work Saturday mornings, so I get woken by my own alarm at 7 AM. Suck it up, if you can't stay out late and still rise with other drunken indigents, then you should ask your mommy to set an earlier bed time.

Get used to it.

I just wonder what you will do when you have a baby that won't hush up when its hungry/scared/in pain? Will you get a bunch of people together to beat its ass too?:rolleyes:
Or, y'know, he could just not have kids. Or have kids come anywhere near him. Hey, sounds like a plan!

Does nobody think to talk to people anymore? Surely your dorm/residence life authority has a set of rules for reconciling disputes. Sure as hell MINE did. There's due process. So start the process.

Agreed. Start the process. However, as things normally go, when the flaws in the process prevent justice from being deliverd, then you proceed to reason with him on a more personal level.

One example: Annoy him. If his door opens into the room, tie fishing wire at about neck height across the frame on a night that you know he's in there. Or better yet, do it at ankle height, to trip him as he exits in the morning, with a little sign that says "TURN OFF THE ALARM CLOCK!!" at about where his face will land. That always got the message across for me.

A Second Example: If his door opens outwards (rare, but just to cover all the bases), a tilted chair or really good doorstop would be useful. Then, you slip a paper into the room that says "Door opens when Alarm Clock gets silent."

A final Example: an IM football team composed just so that you all have an opportunity to lay him out. "Sorry we couldn't block for you, but we were all up way too early yesterday when some idiot's alarm clock kept going off."

Break into his room and smash the alarm clock. It's technology after all. And we all know you oh so hate technology.

Break into his room and set fire to his alarm clock.

Only sensible solution.

Break into his room and set fire to his alarm clock, and any essays and course materials you find, as well as TPing his bed.
Tada!

Break into his room while he's there, and hogtie him up so that he has to listen to the alarm clock (strategically placed just far enough away for him to not be able to reach it) for about an hour.

Then, leave him somewhere public in whitie thighties, still hogtied. Hang the sign of one of the Frats on his neck, and make sure you're all wearing ski masks when you're doing this.

I know this is radical but *try* talking to him. I'm sure he's not doing this to annoy you or your fellow dorm-mates. I'm sure as reasonable adults you can met out a solution that is good for all parties. If he doesn't appear to be willing to help fix the problem then go above his head and try and get it resolved diplomatically. I'm sure any threat of violence would be taken more seriously than if this guy was being a colossal asshat.

Tada!
Ignoring, for a moment, the ethical implications of commiting arson in response to a minor annoyance and the danger of setting fire to the building that you live in, what would be the purpose in TPing something immediately before you set it on fire, destroying any evidence of the initial TPing?

Speaking as that person... (yeah, I love my snooze button) try talking to him. He may not realize his alarm is waking others up. By talking to him, you achieve several things.
1) you get to meet your neighbors
2) you practice diplomacy
3) you work out a solution that may leave everyone happy.

A minor annoyance?

I beg to disagree!

Would you set fire to Himmler, yes. This is absolutely, about 98%, as bad.
and the danger of setting fire to the building that you live in
Seems you've never set fire to anything before...

Setting fire to their bed would be pointless. It'd just be rude. TPing it, comic gold.

I may or may not have set fire to Himmler, but I certainly would never be so crass as to set fire to Himmler's room. To endanger a man's porno supply in such a cavelier manner is wrong, plain and simple.
Seems you've never set fire to anything before...
Not when I was living in said thing at the time, no.
Setting fire to their bed would be pointless. It'd just be rude. TPing it, comic gold.
If you set fire to everything else in the room, the bed is likely to ignite as well. The rest of the building too, for that manner.

Call in a bomb-threat to his room, stating that you've wired the bomb to his alarm clock, with the timer set for 9am. They won't take the risk of letting the bomb go off so the alarm clock will be removed and destroyed in a controlled explosion. Then, once the room is open and emptied, TP it.

Or try and be friendly, then ask politely. It's amazing what people are willing to do in return for a bit of companionship.

Call the cops...he might be dead. Blame it on the RA.

I like the former better. It has a certain ring of risk to it. BRINKMANSHIP, I live for it!!!!

Let's make this quite clear - I'm not setting fire to the whole room in this hypothetical scenario.

Just the clock and his essays, as well as course materials (printed stuff of the interwebs etc.

You could even do it outside, and just put in back in their room with a post-it note saying something akin to "justice, my friend, is served"

I take it that you are under 17 years of age, and hence have a piss easy education and aren't into any kind of substance abuse which may require sleeping off, right?

I'm 17, turning 18 in January, I take harder classes than anyone else at my school and wanted to take an even harder schedule but they messed up the scheduling stuff. So it's not like I'm slacking off when it comes to my education, and I'm first in the senior class. I'm even taking an extra course online that's supposed to be the equivalent of a first year biology course at a university, because my schedule felt too easy for me, and I'm taking as many college-level courses as the scheduling people can fit together, which is only five at the moment but will become six after the first nine weeks of school, plus adding a second foreign language class and an honors-level science class. I wake up at 5:30 every school day and this morning I slept in until 7:50 AM, since it is Saturday. And substance abuse would be a bad thing...

That's called assault, and I'm pretty sure the local lockup has even fewer niceties than a dorm situation.
I WOULD call dorm security or the police though... "It's been ringing for over an hour, what if he's hurt?"

Chandy isn't taking any "piss easy" route in her education, Yootopia.

If you don't mind me challenging your wisdom, may I ask what you're doing education wise? What's your schedule? Hm? Are you, like Chandy, taking a full class load, and then some? Do tell.

I would break into his room, take a hammer and just SMASH it. Then leave a note that simply says "Snooze button didn't work." :D

*yawn*

been there, done that

I had to get up at 5:30 am for my entire tenure of high school, I took all AP classes my junior and senior year, was recognized as a top student by NHS for both years, graduated in the top 5% of my class, maintained a 3.9 GPA (DAMN YOU P.E!!!!!), was the captain of my high school debate team, organized (meaning I was the architect, not just some participant, mind you) fund raisers for my high school, as well as worked thirty hours a week and volunteered for numerous humanitarian projects.

...............but I do agree with you, I wake up early too now, even though I'm out of high school. And yes, substance abuse is bad, don't do it.

Awesome. :)
I tried to get all AP classes this year, but they put AP Physics and AP Calculus at the same time. :( Also, I couldn't take AP Biology at school, so that's the online one. Like I said, I'm ranked first in a class of maybe 450-500 seniors (too bad they don't recognize a valedictorian anymore, just top 4% and top 10%), my cumulative GPA is 4.0 unweighted and 4.723 weighted. I'm also secretary of NHS at my school this year, as well as secretary of Latin club, and I'm on the academic team (A-team), which does competitions and such. I've been volunteering as a tutor for three hours a week in the previous three years and plan to do so this year once it starts up again. I've been trying to get a job but no place I've applied to has wanted to interview me yet.

I know there are people who are smarter than me and do more, plenty of them, but for him to suggest that my education is easy offended me. I'm not a slacker, am I? I've certainly tried not to be. :(

Approach him, speak to him. He he seems like a nice guy, and is sorry for what happend, work with him to find a solution.

If he's an asshole, or stand-offish, then by all means you and your friends should kick his ass.

Uhm, I'm pretty sure that a random person's alarm clock keeping the OP awake is a lot different than the OP's conscious and willing commitment to bring a baby into the world to nurture and provide for.


But, I may be wrong.

It's a bit different. Not a lot though.

But like others have said, fins the guy and speak to him. And yeh there should be a process if a person keeps being so inconsiderate and if your university doesn't have one or is ignoring it, isn't there a Students Union you can speak to?

As a last resort, report him to the cops for (illegal in UK, possibly other countries) noise pollution / breach of the peace

actually, I'm in my Mid 30's and partake of no drugs or alcohol. yet 9:00 am is late for me.

granted my college courses and work all start at 6:00 a.m.

My schedule?

4 A2 Subjects, plus an extra AS so I don't get bored, which gives me a timetable of 8.30 in college until about 5. I'm also a member of the Students' Union, which means that I do a whole load of extra-curricular stuff in addition to my 'real' college work, which is still about 4 hours of homework a night.

So yeah, it's pretty equivalent, although possibly a little easier on my end of things, as far as the academic side goes.

Plus the substance abuse resulting from this being somewhat hard work (self-inflicted, I know), although this is going to be decreased from October-28th December, due to my not being 18 yet, and tobacco sales being made illegal to those being under 18 on the 1st of October, which makes the main ingredients of my habit a little harder to come by.

The 28th of December being my eighteenth, this also means extra pub/club joy aplenty after this time (wahey / oh the hangover 'joys')

9:00am isn't that late if you've got various habits you need to sleep off, which was my point.

When I was at uni we had this problem as well. We just cut power to the guys room. Problem solved.

Yootopia has more energy that I'll ever have.

Don't go suggesting A-levels are easier than anything, you'll give us all the bad name the Daily Mail's been trying to pin us with for years! Also, nothing wrong with a little controlled substance abuse as long as it's a nice, legal, taxable drug, mmkay? There is, however, a time and a place for everything and it's called university! Finally, you do a shitload of stuff for college. Kindly cease and desist, this peppiness bothers me.

Just out of interest, what wonderful topics you studying?

Lots of great responses! The damned alarm clock turned off around 11. I don't think the guy is even at the dorms this weekend, he probably went home.

I wrote my OP right after being woken up, and pounding angrily on his door. I am going to talk to him, if I haver see him. If I don't see him I'm going to put a note on his door, and if that doesn't work, well, then the pranks will start. After that, well, he might be in trouble.

My roommate and I know where the breaker is, so we might be able to cut power. :)

9 AM is early?! :confused:

Of course it is! The earliest I get up, on my own, is 10-10:30. Usually on weekends I get up at noon. Last night I stayed out till 2. My friends and I went to a late movie, and then we went to a party, but left soon after to go to bed. Besides, Saturdays are for sleeping, everyone else slept in till noon, recovering from the night before. I just needed to catch up on my sleep that for the week.

9:00am isn't that late if you've got various habits you need to sleep off, which was my point.

I wasn't saying that 9 AM was really late, just that it's not really early at all. My little brothers wake up around 9 on weekends usually, as that's usually when we start breakfast.

But I would definitely be annoyed if there was an alarm clock that kept ringing for an hour or more, even though I would have already been up.

Oh, ok. That's impressive, sorry for being a bit rude.

All right, then. :)

9 AM is soooooo early for me. My ideal waking up time is perhaps about 4 PM, yet classes start at 8 AM and many lecturers and departments will grill me to death when I come in just five minutes late...

Now, where's that bottle of barbecue sauce...

Don't go suggesting A-levels are easier than anything, you'll give us all the bad name the Daily Mail's been trying to pin us with for years!
Chandelier is doing LOADS.

A-Levels are extremely hard, aye, but then so's taking uni-grade stuff at 17, which is what she's doing.
Also, nothing wrong with a little controlled substance abuse as long as it's a nice, legal, taxable drug, mmkay?
Yeah, erm, it mostly fits that bill.
There is, however, a time and a place for everything and it's called university!
Heh.
Finally, you do a shitload of stuff for college. Kindly cease and desist, this peppiness bothers me.

Just out of interest, what wonderful topics you studying?
Modern Hist, EngLang, French and German as A2s, Ancient Hist at AS (although I might cancel this, because 4A2s is a whole shitload, and an extra AS would be a bit time-consuming to say the least).

Modern Hist, EngLang, French and German as A2s, Ancient Hist at AS (although I might cancel this, because 4A2s is a whole shitload, and an extra AS would be a bit time-consuming to say the least).I know she's doing a fair amount. However, I've also seen what university level constitutes and the AP subjects seem pretty similar to our A2s, at least in the sciences. I'm not knocking it, just saying first year uni levels differ between us and them :p

Ah, for the days of 4 A2s. Unlucky on what appears to be a largely essay-based system, SAQs win. Unless you're extremely interested in ancient history I'd say drop it, personally, as it doesn't add anything to university applications and may only serve to detract from your A2s.

Or, y'know, he could just not have kids. Or have kids come anywhere near him. Hey, sounds like a plan!

I tried this. Doesn't work. At least, it didn't work in the Meijer last night - more damn kids than you can shake a stick at, all of them crying.

One of my classes last year was dual-enrollment though, which meant that I was enrolled with the local community college at the same time as my high school for that course.

I've actually heard that AP Chemistry is harder than the first semester of chemistry at universities around here.

My APs this year are calculus, statistics, biology, Latin, English literature, and US government (2nd semester). I also have economics honors, anatomy and physiology honors, and French I (might get to go to France on an exchange next summer!:)). It actually feels easier than last year so far, when I had US history, Latin, chemistry, English language, and psychology for my APs and dual-enrollment pre-calclulus/trig and physics honors as well.

AP Chemistry was my hardest class last year, and this year AP Calculus is the hardest so far, although AP Biology will probably become harder later on.

OK, so you win the insanely dedicated award. I just wanna feel speshul :(

Break into his room and smash the alarm clock. It's technology after all. And we all know you oh so hate technology.

Why settle for the clock only? Burn the dorm to the ground and proceed to build a shelter out of twigs, utilizing leaves to wipe your ass with after taking a shit.

Bloody right. Anything before 12 is early as far as I'm concerned; what on earth could you have to do before midday?

Awesome. :)


I know there are people who are smarter than me and do more, plenty of them, but for him to suggest that my education is easy offended me. I'm not a slacker, am I? I've certainly tried not to be. :(


Yeah, I know where you're coming from, but you shouldn't be too offended, you know that you're doing a lot, so who cares what some random poster on nationstates thinks? ;)


Congrats on your proactivity though, it does help out a lot after high school. My success in high school has largely contributed to my success in my career, and now before I even graduate from college I have a great career.


In the end, it'll all work out :)

Bloody right. Anything before 12 is early as far as I'm concerned; what on earth could you have to do before midday?

Coconut pancakes at Jack and Benny's. Yummy to the max!

Bloody right. Anything before 12 is early as far as I'm concerned; what on earth could you have to do before midday?
Not a student yet then? Before midday is for getting in from the previous night - get back after 12pm and you're officially, definitely a dirty stop-out. 10am-12pm is for probable dirty stop-outs and possible ends of binges, 8am-10am for possible stop-outs and probable ends of binges, 4am-8am for the end of an average night and pre-4am for pussies :p You'll learn, young grasshopper, of the glorious walk of shame and the not-so-glorious waking up in some randomers kitchen, 4 miles from the nearest halls of residence in a pool of someone else's vomit.

God I can't wait to get back...

That's just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Bloody right. Anything before 12 is early as far as I'm concerned; what on earth could you have to do before midday?

Well, school starts at 7:45 AM... so I wake up at 5:30 so that I can get ready, eat breakfast, have some free time, wake my brothers up in time for them to get ready, and leave by 7:15 so that I don't have to deal with the heavy traffic. Then on weekend days I get up around 8 usually so that I can have some free time before breakfast, maybe get some homework done, and on Sundays go to church if Mom wants to that day (probably won't tomorrow; my brothers are both turning 15 and we're going to celebrate with some relatives.)

But I usually fall asleep sometime between 10:30 and 11:30...

Damn I'm lazy.... 3 months off does that to you.

And what school starts at 7.45? That sucks.:(

Understandable. We had a longer than usual summer this year. It was a bit hard to start waking up at 5:30 again when I had gotten used to waking up around 7:30-8:30 or so every day.

They changed our hours to 7:45 to 2:20 this year so that they could let us out at 12:30 every Wednesday. They say it saves them money. I'm not sure why, but I like it since I can drive to school this year. Probably inconvenient for parents of younger children though, since they have the middle and elementary schools get out early on Wednesdays as well, although not quite as early.

i dont think you should beat him up. i think you should sneak a webcam into his room and see what he is doing about the alarm, or next time you see him become friends with him and tell him about it. confrontation is best alot of the time.

I never really considered the possibility of school changing its hours. 8.45 to 3.40 always seemed set in stone as it were. Won't you find working when its still not light in winter disconcerting?

A little bit, yeah. :(

That's more like the middle school hours here. Elementary school is somewhere in between, I think.

We've had various changes in schedule at my high school. Year before last we started at like 7:50 and ended at like 2. Last year they had us start at 7:55 and end at 2:05. We also used to have skinny Mondays, where we attended all of our classes, and then even and odd days where we went to first period and then the even or odd classes. They got rid of skinny Mondays last year because it was decided that they violated the teachers' contracts. And now we don't go to first period on Wednesdays.

Trollgaard aren't you the same person who said you were going to leave civilization?

Of course it is! The earliest I get up, on my own, is 10-10:30. Usually on weekends I get up at noon. Last night I stayed out till 2. My friends and I went to a late movie, and then we went to a party, but left soon after to go to bed. Besides, Saturdays are for sleeping, everyone else slept in till noon, recovering from the night before. I just needed to catch up on my sleep that for the week.

ooo maybe he got pissed off cus maybe you made noise when you cam back after 2am

Why settle for the clock only? Burn the dorm to the ground and proceed to build a shelter out of twigs, utilizing leaves to wipe your ass with after taking a shit.
