In college:

Had one guy on the floor that was persistently annoying. We "penny locked" him in his dorm room. Basically you got one guy to put his back to the door and his feet on the opposing wall and push as hard as he could. The other guy puts a stack of pennies in the expanded gap as close to the lock as possible, then you leave. It basically puts tons of pressure on the lock mechanism. So much that he broke his door handle off and had to call maintenance to get him out of his room.

Once, in a spate of boredom, we pledged (as in emptied an entire can of pledge on) the linoleum tiles outside the elevators in the dorm. In February. On a Saturday night. When it was snowing. People came back from the bars drunk with wet shoes and couldn't seem to stay upright.

Had a roommate that liked to make dinner at 3:00 a.m. when I shared an apartment with 3 other guys. My room was next to the kitchen. I got woken up every morning as he banged pots and pans, slammed cabinet doors, and played loud music while cooking. I asked him several times to be quieter. He ignored me. I taped snap pop inside the lip of every cabinet door and went to bed. The first cabinet he slammed caused a loud explosion and caused him to have to change his pants. He was quieter after that.

Same guy, a few years earlier was my roommate in the dorms. He was very fussy about his stuff. He once berated someone for over an hour for putting his scissors back in his drawer with the handle on the wrong side. But he had no problem freely borrowing and occasionally breaking other people's stuff. On April Fool's Day, we cleared out his side of the room after he left for class. He returned to find his side of the room completely bare (which was quite a feat, as he crammed 3x the times of stuff on his side of the room as the average college dorm dweller). He came back from class and simply said: "My stuff better be back by dinner." So we painstakingly put everything back...in completely the wrong place.
