Fun way to tell someone to turn the volume down

I'm staying at this motel, and the person in the next room had the volume way too high on his TV. I simply turned my TV on all the way up for the duration of an annoying Subaru commercial and turned it back off. After that, his volume was turned down. :D

On the topic of TV volume levels, I have an amusing story.

The setting: Living in the on-campus apartments of my college during a summer session.

The occasion: Like just about any other night, my group of 10 or so friends were getting hammered.

The turning point: One of my roommates passed out in his bedroom, so I decided to pull a prank on him. We had this porno tape that was pretty lame as porn goes, and we kept it around mostly for laughs because it was so bad (ugly girls, bad shooting, just not quality). I put it on in his room and cranked up the volume to the absolute maximum. I then went to bed myself in the other room, imagining my friend waking up in the middle of the night, totally confused why this shitty porn was cranked all the way up in his bedroom.

The result: Without air-conditioning in the apartments, in the summertime it was a necessity to sleep with the windows open. My friend was entirely too hammered to wake up from it, but it sure woke up the neighbors! :D Apparently, the sounds from the porno were cascading throughout the courtyard and could be heard by just about anyone in the vicinity. The RA eventually had to enter our apartment (which was strewn with beers everywhere, on this, a dry campus) in order to stop the movie.

Deneument: The RA was nice enough not to write us up for anything. It seems his girlfriend was sleeping over in his apartment (which is also a no-no on campus). At class the next day I overheard several people that I didn't even know talking about the noises they heard echoing across the complex.

Maybe he initially turned his up to get you to turn your down. And when you turned your up even more he probably thought to himself, "Ah, f*ck it. This guy is an idiot." ;)

Nice. Your apartment rules sound a bit nazi-ish, though.

Well, it was a private, conservative Christian college. That is kinda what made it so funny, because there was always a huge population of "squares" that attended that school. The thought of them finishing up their Bible study and going to bed early on a "school night" whilst the rest of us were up partying like real college kids, only to be woken up by the loud screams of some butt-ugly wannabe porn star emanating from my roommate's room... it still makes me crack a smile... :)

This, versus what happens when engineering students get their hands on a dying microwave. :D
Lighter + microwave + proper air/fuel mixture = flames blasting the door open + a very loud boom that causes people come out of their apartments to see what exploded. :D

Diet coke + mentos = boom and no power required. ;)
