If you tried this circa 2005-07 we would’ve met at sonic

first you'd have to figure out who did it. nobody was awake enough to get their door open before he hid it.

Peyton Wilson from West Monroe used to talk about pennying someone in a room at the pentagon dorms, squirting lighter fluid under the door, then lighting it. that was during the pre-carpet 60's

Friend down the hall shot bottle rocket under my door into my room.

I had packs (a small flat box) of 12 rockets fused in sequence. Tape the box to the floor, light the fuse and 12 rockets would explode in the room one right after the other.

Used a pistol, they were very effective in bottle rocket wars.

Living in Kirby Smith one September and the air goes out. Two weeks later no air. About midnight everyone starts yelling and someone pulls the fire alarm. My roommate had just had a TV delivered so there was a huge box full of popcorn packing which I dump out of the window. Pretty funny till I look down and see campus Barney Fife staring up and counting the floors. Two show up and tell me to pick up every single popcorn in the morning or I’d be arrested. Cool front come Thur that night with high winds and I couldn’t find any of them.

Kirby Smith 8th floor. Suite mates when mushroom picking in cow pasture but found only buds coming out of the patties. Took one back to the dorm room and put it under a grow light. Day later our suite smelled like shite and floor residents where complaining. Had to get rid of the evidence so we tossed it out da window. Forgot our window was above the rear entrsnce to the parking lot and I believe we hit someone going out the building.

My mom's cousin got expelled from the University of Texas for shooting bottle rockets out of his dorm room window. His dad had to pay Georgia Tech a million dollars to get him admitted there.

Ok this kinda sucks but it happened.

Pissed in roommates shampoo

flipped his bed around so that slats were on top so that when he jumped in bed like always broke wood and hurt shoulder.

Pennied people in their room, (you pushed hard on bottom of door and top and slipped as many pennie’s as you could into gap so that door would not open from inside) But i added a twist once we did that, we would shoot a few dozen screaming bottle rockets into the room from under the door, and some chasers. They way the rooms were designed back then they were sitting ducks.

We stopped doing this when we accidently caught a room on fire, which could have killed the guy. Thankfully, he used his aquarium water to put it out. But his tennis shoes were melted. I offered to replace them but he was good sport about it, and parents were rich as shite. He never ever did another prank on me though. (lol)

(This was all pranks back and forth, and typically payback for something like taking my towel when i was in shower and making me walk naked back to my room in front of bunch of girls. After about month in the dorm, none of us cared anymore, no cell phones back then but 100s of girls all saw us nude multiple times.

Finally, the real shitty thing, buddy took off the receiver portion of foreign exchange students phone, and we pennied them in the room on high floor before Spring break, and gave them a full battery of fireworks. They were stuck in room 3 or 4 days before someone noticed and got them out. (They told RA on someone or something, i was just helping as expert on this shite)

Other shite is a little too extreme for here, definitely in felony category and better left alone.

Good times though, not a single time did any of this shite result in a fist fight or anything. My roommate also got piss in his mouthwash once, but we all learned no listerine green mouthwash only.

You buddy with the freakin air horn, which would have gotten run flat as pancake by redneck with giant trucks then glued with industrial glue to the door, would have been pennied, super glued, and dephoned, and then whatever he was most afraid of snakes, spiders, bees, wasp, mice, roaches etc would be poured into the room under his door.

He would got another horn , which he would do unless he was a little bitch, then we would repeat with scorpions or something dangerous would be next round. At which, he would cave since his life was in danger, we would all shake hands and join forces to frick with someone else.

Life was great before cell phones and Karen’s and bullshite.

These nerds next to me would start playing Halo with the volume turned up at 530-6 am most week mornings before class. It’s all they did. I’ll never forget the beeping noise for low shields or health or whatever it was. They were nerds and diligent about attending class so one morning I painted their metal doorframe with the petroleum jelly-like contents of a few Sterno cans and lit it so when they opened their door it was like a (controlled) flaming threshold they couldn’t exit unless they jumped through it like circus animals.
