I got suspended from the dorms (ooh!) for not leaving during a fire alarm while watching the MLB playoffs in the Hamilton TV lounge. For those who've never been there, the Hamilton TV room has 3 extra-wide French doors, plus a regular exit by the staircase in the back of the room. As a Hamilton resident, I was pretty much immune to the alarms. Fiji pulled our alarms daily, often multiple times per night, and I just ran out of care. In early October.
I had to meet with the West Housing Coordinator. Once I figured out this wasn't a real punishment -- it was Double Secret Probation -- I told her I didn't leave "because the Mets were losing." She wasn't amused.
Two of my friends who lived on 3rd floor of Hamilton got into minor legal trouble and tossed from the dorms for something even dumber. They found a couch next to the Fiji dumpster, it looked in good-for-dorm shape, so they took it in. Several months later, they got hammered and tossed the couch out their window. Instead of it falling to the ground, 2 legs caught on their window frame, and the other 2 legs broke the window directly below. They got busted for possession of stolen property -- the couch had a "Property of PSU" tag on it. Turns out Fiji had stolen it, but good luck proving that to the cops.
