This isn’t just a note — it’s a work of art. And it’s about 100 shades of amazing.
I’ll let Rich explain: “I had a party at my house once in college, and one of our roommates who was going to be gone was really scared that someone was going to sleep in his bed. so, instead of, you know, telling us not to use his room, he decided to post this hilarious note that only an aspiring personal injury lawyer could produce.”

Anyone who has worked in any kind of government job with security clearances knows that it is YOUR responsibility to protect classified information. YOU can be held responsible if you don’t keep it locked up in a classified safe, and are never supposed to let it out of your possession otherwise. So leaving a note on a door to a bedroom when you’re away for a weekend saying “There’s classified information in here, don’t read it or you could be arrested or sued or worse!” is just laughable.
The Law Offices of Verle W. Norris might be interested in knowing that one of their 1st year law students could be sued for negligence with respect to taking proper precautions with “classified” documents.

Man, how much extra time did he take writing that note vs. just putting a lock on the damn door?

Sadly, none of the various sites associated with the law offices of Verle W. Norris offers anything even remotely entertaining. Attorney Norris appears to work mostly in administrative law, however, so pursuing trespassers may not be his specialty. But I guess that when you’re talking about an injustice as egregious as getting drunk and passing out on a stranger’s bed, the entire legal community must stand ready to defend its own.

Hooooooly shit. You know, it’s not illegal to be in the same room as those documents. It’s just illegal to read them or to take them into your own possession. Any first-year law student should know that, as should anyone with any vague understanding of the word “classified.” …Meaning, I would definitely have to open the door. Of course, knowing him, he’d probably have set up booby traps or something.

Actually, yes, “disrespect” can be used as a verb.

Mmmm. Good to know, ocd (appropriate acronym, I likey!)
I was taught it was proper to ‘be disrespectful’ or to ‘show disrespect’. But I will pass the link on to my highschool psych teacher; she was planning on starting a cult surrounding the use of the word ‘disrespect’. Delicious.
Either way, the topic at hand is that this guy is a moron and quite possibly nuts. Did anyone care what was in his room before he posted the note?

I wonder if everyone is taking it too seriously? I can see a witty legal student sitting down to write the note while chuckling to himself about the amount of time people are going to spend standing at his door reading it. Maybe it was a clever distraction to keep people from opening the door…

Oh my. Why has nobody defended this boy’s most basic personal boundaries, so that he’s grown up stark crazy enough to have felt, thought and behaved in this way? The forum responses to this individual’s behavior are even more shameful than the behavior they seek to judge.
Just another case in point that the entire human species is already long extinct.
Well, I’m done trying to amuse myself on this website – there is nobody here that I’d care to know.

Now, I don’t usually resort to blasphemy (okay, I do, but anyway), but can I just say— JESUS! How sick IS this guy? It’s effective though- I’d be way to scared to enter a room inhabited by such a lunatic let alone sleep in it. Besides, chances are people fell asleep trying to read this note til the end instead of falling asleep in his bed. Wait, maybe that guy is a genius and that was exactly what he wanted to happen??

Yeah, when your handwriting looks like a kid with downs wrote it and you have proximate contact with a computer, just go ahead a fuckin use it. It’ll save some embarrassment and actually add a little bit of an aura that you know what you’re talking about (especially when you don’t).

If I had been there, I would have put a lock on is door FOR him. One of those nice latch setups with a nice uncuttable master lock. Then you wear the screw heads that hold the latch out, so that they can’t be unscrewed. This way no one can force their way into his bedroom while it’s locked.
Oh yeah, don’t forget to write him a nice letter about how you respected his privacy so much that you even installed a lock for it. Stick the letter in a nice envelope, and include a postage stamp, just for effect. Put the key into the envelope, and kindly slide it under his door.
His information is now protected from all prying eyes.
Good times.

i like how he put “may be in violation” at least he left himself a loophole.
although he could have just slapped on “may be in violation of code xxx xx – punishable with 30-life jail sentence”
he cant spell for shit which is sad because it would have looked so much more professional if it was typed. esp because his handwriting is shit too.

I just think it’s so terribly sad that this person is already so serious about life, at such a young and tender age. C’mon, dude, your uni/college years are supposed to be about experimentation, fun and fornication – and barely anything more! There’s plenty of other decades to come in your life during which you can get serious.
Sounds like his room-mates know how to party (hence all the “keep out” signs) – maybe he should mellow out and copy them for a while instead of being such and uptight CUNT.
My GOD – just imagine how the sad sack’s going to be when he’s 45, bitter, divorced and bored with his blood-sucking law career!

what a dick. i hope 20 people had an orgy in his room and then proceeded to read his incredibly important documents, and then left everything as they’d found it.
…apart from the stinky stench of group sex.
also, i’m pretty sure that a 4 year old can’t be a law student. and if they aren’t a 4 year old, what could they possibly be doing writing like that?
