I had a friend that was trimming branches from a tree in her yard. She was wearing a tube top and standing on a ladder. She’s trimming away, trimming away, and she notices that the neighborhood men are suddenly all out in the yard finding “something” to do. She looks down and her tube top had slipped down around her waist. Popular girl!
The first college I went to was about a year old, and it consisted a group of old buildings brought together to create a temporary campus while a permanent site was being built.
For some reason the men’s showers and the locker room were separate, and was connected by a 12-15 foot walkway. So we would shower, then wrap the towel around our waist and proceed to the locker room. It wasn’t in the middle of the campus, but it wasn’t an isolated setting either. One day my towel fell off accidentally, and I got a rather positive response for the onlookers. Then a few of the other guys started dropping their towels or flashing the onlookers, just to get a reaction.
After a few days we were told to stop. It was fun while it lasted.
Burning popcorn? People are pulling fire alarms for burning popcorn? Someone needs to set these freshmen down and tell them when to pull alarms and when not to. Actually, a freshman girl in one of my dorms pulled the fire alarm because a bagel caught on fire in her microwave. She ended up being the laughing stock of campus for a while (and it’s a big campus, too.)
Perhaps having the RA knock on all the doors was a CYA for the school, but it worked…it’s easier to hear a sharp rap on the door than the fire alarm in some of those old buildings.
No, Tamex, usually the smoke from burned popcorn sets off the smoke detectors, which triggers the fire alarm. This also happens when some numbnuts drops a cigarette or joint on their mattress or carpet, then opens the door to air the room out. Or when some dipstick is standing in the hallway smoking. We got really good at telling the smoke detector fire alarms from the pranks, and at identifying which floor the dipstick was on, no mean feat in a 23 story, 650 bed dorm.
