one lad in halls at uni
he was an asian lad built like a brick shithouse and like most asians alcohol affected him far more than most due to the fact they haven't been drinking it in the quantities we have for generations so haven't built up a tolerance so things were bound to get messy.

Several times he managed to set the fire alarm off from drunken cooking (nothing major I know as I managed to do it in the first week there) but one of the times he couldn't find his frying pan so was cooking chicken straight on the hob.......
(just to set the scene of what may happen)

2 major times he went over the top that i can remember

1. for some reason flat 2 (next to ours) didn't get on with our flat all that well cos of noise issues and the many fire alarms we caused, etc etc, so one night this lad decides that he's had enough of them and goes up to write on their front door "You C*NTS" or something similar (i forget what) whilst they are out clubbing. now this may not sound all that bad but considering that his ink of choice was his own faeces it really really really was. On the way back into our flat however he then managed to fall over in our corridor spilling the pint glass he had used as an ink pot onto the floor meaning that it didn't only smell outside our front door but also all throughout our section of halls. Way over the line there (you could tell from the way flat 2 rang our doorbell when they got home - there was vengeance in that pressing)

2. The Final straw - One night, drunken antics after a night out as per usual but someone has managed to turn the hob on and a pizza box left on top of it which starts to smoke and sets the fire alarm off (culprit still unknown but guess who I blame). so the whole block of flats marches outside. following a fight between some of my flatmates and some other people who they had 'bumped into' previously in the night we finally were allowed back into the flat after ascertaining that no-one knew who had turned the hobs on etc (this was also during a fire fighter strike so we're lucky the army fire fighters didn't turn up instead). Once everyone got back inside me and 3 of my other flatmates were standing outside talking to the security with another one on the phone in his room and the Asian lad unaccounted for. Then the fire alarm goes off again. and once that was sorted it went off one more time by which time it was about 4am and no-one evacuated the building. Then whilst we were all trying to sleep at last our fire detector was changed which stopped all the alarms

Later when called into the halls office to discuss the night we were shown the fire detector and it appears that someone had tried to set fire to it with an aerosol can and a lighter. This appeared to be the cause for the 2nd alarm and subsequent alarms were because it was bust. Since everyone else from the flat was accounted for it couldn't have been anyone else but the asian lad but he never admitted it.


Eventually we got him kicked out of our flat and things returned to relative normality (for first year students anyway)


I think there were far more incidents I can't remember about (including him hitting a girl and then a bouncer in a night club getting himself banned) but he definitely went too far too many times.
