Moving away from the comforts of home, to a residential unit dwelling shared by hundreds of students is some times hard to deal with. The noise, the mess, the sharing, the conflicts and the non-sense of uni students.
Coming from a home where it was mandatory to respect other peoples property my whole life, it has become clear that not every one has been set the same example.
I travelled home for the weekend to get away from it all, to return 4 days later with a letter on my shared apartment door.
It read - Unit 336 on level 3 of the west wing's door has been damaged. It is under the rules and regulations that no one under any circumstances damages the property of this building. If no one owns up, each person living in the west wing will pay for the damages.
So by now you can imagine the look on my face and the anger i am feeling. Firstly, i was not even in the building the night the incident occurred and secondly why are there so many dishonest people out there.
There are approximately 215 people living in the west wing, so the cost to fix the damage for each person will be minimal. It's not the cost that's the problem, it's the principal.
Why do people think they can run a muck, and not pay the consequences, instead they watch other people pay for them and this inturn is dishonest. The definition of respect is - to show consideration or thoughtfulness in relation to somebody or something. It is clear that this individual is lacking this quality.
To put it simply, idiots tick me off.
For the record, im not paying the fine.

I know exactly how you feel. It's the principle of the thing. my housemate broke my potato masher the first day he moved in. Three weeks later he still hasn't replaced it. I have been mashing potatos with a fork because he can get stuffed. I'm not spending more money because he's too lazy to replace my masher.
