On a similar noteNot me myself, but friends at Loughborough uni moved someone's room... Loughborough has big towerblock halls, and all the layouts on each floor are identical. They moved a guy from the tenth or whatever floor down to the ground... swapped the room, made it identical. The guy was out getting pissed for his birthday at the time, and when they brought him home, they stuck him in the lift, kept getting out at wrong floors, totally disorientated him until ending up in 'his' room on the ground floor.
Then, about half hour later, they opened the window, and threw him out.
Bear in mind he believed to be 10 floors up at the time... they ran outside to find him flat on his back, pointing upwards saying 'I fell'...

I was at loughborough uniabout 15 years ago.
Lived in towers for a 2 years.
I vaguely recall hearing about something like that. Not as funny as the rugby team taking a shit in the lifts. Every. fucking. saturday. night.
My exploits were pretty much limited to hiding fishes under peoples beds just before they went home for the weekend. Heated floors. Nice.

HmmmmI think it's "happened" at every Uni which has tower block halls. I certainly heard it when at Soton.

Yes, it's utter bollocks.Particularly at Lufbra, where because of a lack of basement area the heating units are on the ground floor of Towers and the accommodation starts two storeys up. So, if you did chuck someone out of a room on the lowest floor you'd probably kill them anyway.
There are other variants, such as freaking someone out by jumping from the window and coming back in, or lying at the bottom covered in ketchup waiting for the cleaner.
One we did do was to someone who nicked loads of pint glasses from the bars - filled them with water, up-ended all over the room.
I also got up very late one afternoon in Elvyn Halls to find a wall of beercans built in my doorway.

there's a lot of ex-Lufbra types here ain't there?I was in Towers hall too until '91. I got in a lift there once, full of furniture, bedding that sort of stuff. Said to the bloke in there.."nice one, which poor tw*t's getting his room done then?"...then I recognised the duvet cover...f*ckers. Still remember the rancid sh*t in the corner of the lifts 1st thing in the morning too..lovely..top 1% of the population my arse.
On the plus side, we soaked the horrid nylon carpet in one guy's room while he was away for the weekend and then planted cress seeds. He had the beginning of a nice lawn by the time he got back.

Thinking of student carpets...Golden syrup goes quite well on the carpet outside housemates bedroom from what I've heard...stays sticky for weeks/months/years depending on how drunk my mate is when telling the story...apparently his housemate managed to avoid treading for almost the entire year, and then trod in it barefoot on the last morning they were in the house...
