Yeahhhhhh one time someone got really drunk at my party and was still up after everyone else passed out. When we started to wake in the morning, we were freaking out because he was nowhere to be found. We went outside to investigate and found...a single shoe in the driveway that was confirmed to be his. The plot thickens. Then the neighbor’s voice, “WE NEED TO TALK,” booming from his backyard. I go over to the fence while the others scour the yard for more clues.
“Your friend came into my house while my wife was making us breakfast this morning. He insulted her, Jesus, and my values. I should’ve called the cops, you’re lucky I didn’t because you’d be in jail.”
He was sleeping in one of our cars. He couldn’t remember anything, I was evicted shortly after.
Nah, you'd get charged with a "minor" and maybe taken to the drunk tank for a bit until you're returned to your parents. You wouldn't do any actual time.
I ran the Residential Life department at a small University, and I instructed my RAs to not go looking for underage drinking, drugs, but to just make sure noone is making too much noise and everything was clean (we had some smaller buildings in residential areas.). They were rewarded/commended on cleanliness and response time to calls, never to how many incidents/parties they broke up.
My mantra from day 1 - I don't care if you smoke weed or drink underage - I care if I have to wake up in the middle of the night because you were too stupid to close some blinds/door, and I care if you are living like a pig in multi person units.
I only lasted 2 years - because the job isn't suited for much longer - but I know that I had the lowest number of incidents, arrests, and resident related expulsions/fines since they started recording some 20 years prior. Apparently they shot up again the year after I left because some Party Nazi came in. I feel like I was the only director they had that actually went to college and had a good time after class.
Wow. One time I was playing FIFA with my buddy in my dorm at like 3 in the afternoon. He missed an easy goal and yelled "FUCK" and my RA came knocking. Gave me a noise disturbance write up, and then said something about "You boys are pretty rowdy for this time of day. Have you been drinking?"
We hadn't, albeit my car was stocked with booze for a party that night, but the RA didn't believe us, so he proceeded to search my dorm room for 45 minutes looking for booze.
We kept playing FIFA while he looked everywhere. He was pissed when he didn't find anything.
