Empty Threats
Ever have one of your friends tell you there going to kill you but in a playful way? Well if you have then I guess you know what it’s like to spend time my dorm room. It’s a mix of randomness and my roommate threatening to kill me, my children, or anything else really. I’ve gotten used to it and occasionally throw a threat his way once in a while but it’s a rare site to see. I figured out early that they key is to not take the threats too seriously for a few reasons:
- He won’t remember. Let’s just face it, he makes so many he can’t possibly remember them all
- He is to lazy to carry it out.
- He’d get evicted or arrested.
He also says random words or phrases. Just the other day he asked what I would do if he turned into a raccoon and I immediately replied that I would have him put down. Not because I hate him and would like to kill him, but because raccoons carry disease and pestilence and should not be allowed in the dorms. Were only allowed to have goldfish actually. Anything else and you get in major trouble!
Going back to my last post about the fire alarms, somebody pulled the fire alarm this morning at 10:00 and again at 11:00. I was pissed because I was sleeping and I’m sick so I wanted to get lot’s of rest but now I can’t go back to sleep. Wow somebody just pulled the fire alarm again. No joke. Third time today and it’s 12:00. It’s like every hour a fire alarm goes off. We should find the jackass who keeps pulling it and have him drawn and quartered to save us all the time of going outside for half an hour since nobody knows if it’s real or not.
Ok this time they stopped the fire alarm after a minute and just made a announcement that it was a malfunction. I’m just happy I’m not on the upper floors since the elevators don’t work when the fire alarm goes off. They have to walk down six flights of stairs! And I can’t imagine being on the top floor of the towers dorm and having to walk down like 10-14 flights. Sucks for them but the view is probably pretty awesome.
