Today, I realized that choosing to live in the honors dorms was a terrible mistake. Quiet hours start at 6 PM and the only exception is if you are a member of the university marching band, which means you can practice your instrument at anytime in the lounge... located next to my room. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had to study for an important test but I could barely focus because my roommate had his music blasting at full volume. Since we get along well, I decided to put up with it. I just found out he forgot to turn it off and left over 6 hours ago. FML
Today, to make my dorm neighbours think I'm popular, I blasted music and screamed at the top of my lungs so it sounded like I was having a party. My residence manager slapped me with a noise violation, and demanded to come in to make sure we weren't drinking. I had to explain why I was by myself. FML
Today, the guy on the floor above me decided it was time for a tuba jam session. Apparently optimal tuba time is 2am. FML
Today, I had a nasty headache so I tried to take a nap. Unfortunately, my college had a homecoming parade a block away from where I live. I never knew our marching band sounded that awful. FML
Today, I forgot my headphones at home. When I got to work I found out that today was also the day the band next door had decided to practice their only song for 8 hours. FML
Today, after a long night of studying, my roommate and her friends decided it would be fun to throw a mini party in my room at 7am. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, the clock in the study lounge was off, so I was half-an-hour late to class. I was too embarrassed to walk in late, so I sat for the next half-hour with my ear against the door trying to hear the lecture. People stopped to ask if there was something wrong with me. Yeah, probably. FML
Today, I walked into my dorm to find my roommate and his friends using my bass clarinet to smoke weed. FML
Today, my new roommate woke me up at noon to bitch about my "selfish sleeping habits" and how they ruin her ability to invite anyone over. I work the graveyard shift at the hospital. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ask for a transfer... ...Otherwise, earplugs might work. Quiet hours, though? Tell your preschool teacher that you don't want naptime. Hold your breathe and stomp your feet until she lets you make some NOYZE, biznatch.

Tasers don't make much noise... can you use them after 6pm? Don't be a victim.

does this mean you can't play guitar there if you're not in the band?!? how could you live?!?

Good job. Well, at least it's a band member who knows how to play and not someone attempting to learn an instrument. Next time talk to some people who've lived there to know what's what.

And @ 26, It's possible that the practice rooms are off limits. That's how it is at our University. If you're not a Music Major or in wind ensemble, you are not allowed to use the practice rooms which is a pain in the ass for the rest of us who have nowhere private to practice

Just hang up an official looking sign at night, saying you can't play instruments between such and such hours due to numerous complaints

Ugh. That sucks. I live in the Honors Dorm at my university, and we have paper-thin walls. My neighbours play my two least favorite instruments (saxophone and trumpet) at least once a day, and one of them has picked up the flute, too. *whimper* They're both music majors, but neither is especially good. What gets to me is that our school is really big on music, so we have two practice rooms downstairs and 3 music buildings where they could go practice without bothering anyone. But they don't. Despite requests from both residents and RAs.
