Student Pranks
1.) One of our flatmates - nicknamed 'Babs' was a little naive about the ways of the West as he hailed from Nigeria, and came from a quite affluent family over there where everything was done for him by servants. While in our 'care' as it were, he developed a liking for Hot Choclate, one of many things he had never sampled back at home.

However, one cruel evening early in Babs' Hot Chocolate drinking career, we decided to top it up with more than a few hefty spoonfuls of Cayenne Pepper, shook it up and left it. Day after day and night after night Babs continued drinking it, and we continued topping it up with pepper and further chocolate and he never twigged, suffice for one comment which the rest of us couldn't help but fall about laughing at...

"You know, the more of this stuff you drink, the hotter it gets, I can see why they call it HOT Chocolate"

To this day I wonder if he's been permanently disappointed by Hot Chocolate since leaving us.



2.) The next year, a different student flat. Everyone going home for Christmas, and a few of us had been getting slightly, but increasingly 'narked' with one of our flatmates for not cleaning up after himself and nicking our food. He was the first to leave for Christmas to go home, and he kindly asked us to hand his keys in to pick up when he got back... Which we duly didn't.

We instead availed ourselves to his room, and deposited grass and cress seed all over the lovely green carpeted floor of his room, and laid damp newspaper over it, putting the heating on low as well...

... 4 weeks later when he came back he didn't know if he should vacuum the carpet or mow it.

Misread narked and stopped being able to understand the story....
"and a few of us had been getting slightly 'naked' with one of our flatmates"
