I don’t think the fire alarm was fake as the RA’s where doing what they were supposed to - taking attendance and looking for people.
When I worked in a high rise, we had to close our office doors as we left. When we came back, they might be open because they did check each office to be sure no one was in the office.
I smell something fishy but oh well.
It’s pretty hilarious that anyone thinks a beer is important enough to stage a fire drill over. Frankly, you’re just not that important. Fire drills require paperwork and it’s a hassle. They’d just go take it if they wanted to.
^ I smell, ya know, that patchouli scent.
Funny thing about a lot of us adults on CC, when we were in college, we had our fun and tested plenty of limits. But we also learned, over time, when it makes sense to just follow the rules or at least do better than stashing something in a drawer. And read the fine print.
Honestly the OP’s post was so ungrammatical I really didn’t know what was going on.
I do advise anyone living in a dorm to read the rules carefully.
(BTW it’s drawer not draw.)
I agree, it’s very confusing. Amusing, though.
Do the right thing. Just when you or your neighbor think you have outsmarted those in charge, the hammer could fall and college is over for you because of something dumb. My senior year, there was a drug bust in the dorm, early on the first day of finals. You know those students thought they were slick right up until the police showed up.
Standard operating procedure, from my experience with dorms, is that if their is an alarm, real or just a drill, someone in authority (usually an RA) does knock then key into each and every dorm room to make sure the premises are vacated. Leaving a dorm during a fire alarm is mandatory and someone has to check that all got out.
Nobody was looking for your buddy’s beer can.
Don’t ask the question on a highly trafficked web site if you can’t handle any possible answer.
Also, would there have been any issues if the half-can was that of a “non-alcoholic” beer like O’Doul’s…or would that be considered uncool for campuses where alcohol is the/one of the prime vice(s) of choice?
