“our CA (community advisor) posted this friendly note on our bathroom door,” says our submitter, a college student in milwaukee.
the dorm residents — apparently a libertarian-minded bunch — were pissed about frequent CAD (common area damage) charges for putting recyclables in the trash instead of the mandatory recycling bin. they took a break from ranking up ron paul stories on reddit and digg to add their two cents here.

If I was the CA, I’d tell those dormers,
“You Must Wear the Unitard!”
(*sigh* I’d make a great CA…)

Team ice cream socials.
That is their only true family-oriented suggestion.
As for the handwriting, it could have been a group effort with one person writing. I certainly have done the writing for many group efforts akin to this one.

Posted on the bathroom door? It makes me wonder what kind of “programs” he’s hoping the kids request.

Little bastards…maybe if they learned from all their CADs and put their recyclables in the recycle bin, there wouldn’t be all these problems.
(I’m a CA also, so I’m on Team CA…)

#1 handwriting looks pretty mellow and stable, but it looks like he’s losing it by #9. 5 and 7 really got him going. I bet he had to have oxygen. He finally collapsed at 10.

But how exactly does one “Dike off”? Are they suggesting the CA ‘go gay’? But what if the CA is a man, and the dikes just simply aren’t interested?

I think the last one, the “Dike off,” is asking for some sort of contest involving lesbians. Like a Zoolander-style “walk off” but with more female nudity.

Haha, I love this. I went to UW-Oshkosh, so I know all about CAs, CAD charges and IRs (incident reports, referred to in #6).
This proves what most college kids feel about dorm life: it’s extremely overbearing. Stop wasting money on “programs” and leave the damn students alone - they are adults, after all.

After reading the other suggestions, maybe the writer of #7 thought spelling out “douche” was too far out of line.

Wade: You’re right. Maybe they don’t mean ‘dyke’ but those dam-like things in Holland that keep flood waters out of a town or village.
Or sadly, the college kids don’t know how to spell.

#1 Orion (Mission-to-Mars program)

I like “Freedom” and “CA’s not to be D-bags”. The misplaced apostrophe, and the plea for freedom are great. Overall, great list, just in terms of the laundry list of items that make me laugh at work. Heh.
Then again, I’d have to say that at least 6 of those items were written by the same person.
Gotta love college, expanding young minds and all that.
