The dean at engineering school
was a thoroughly dislikeable person. During his time in power there he managed to offend and alienate so much of the faculty under him that at this time I only know of three professors who are still there from when I attended, six years ago. He claimed to have basically founded the engineering school (which was already in existence and going strong when he came aboard), and dismantled all of the innovative stuff that had been started by the previous dean in favor of modeling the school after the one at the university he had taught at previously. (Why he thought this was a good idea is beyond me- if people wanted the same sort of education they'd get at UVA, they'd just go to UVA instead of VCU. Twat.)

He was very fond of schmoozing with anyone he thought might be of use to him, and snubbing those he couldn't get anything from. He proudly used his old UVA beer stein as a coffee mug, carrying it all around the school with the UVA logo showing. (Twat.)

One afternoon I went to get something from the vending machines and saw the mug on top of a machine. I picked it up and carried it to the next class, where peoples' eyes popped out of their heads when they saw it in my hand. One girl asked nervously how I happened to have it, so I explained how I had found it lets I be accused of theft. "Don't worry, I'm going to get it back to him today," I assured her.

Did I piss in it? Of course not, that would be cruel.

Instead I put a little water in the bottom of it and left it standing beneath a urinal in the bathroom outside his office.

Been there
Sounds like almost every UVa grad I've ever met.

Surely, given you were at an engineering school, the answer would've been to build something to launch it off the roof of a building?
