My first experience of a dormitory was back in 1985 when I was sharing with 20 other people whilst working at a company called G’s in Ely. It wasn’t a bad experience. However for one young man it would be.<\/p>\n

The door to our dorm was a bit of a Heath Robinson affair – the door handle had to be turned up rather than down. On his first night at the hostel we took the young man out for a welcome drink. We arrived back late after a heavy one. At some point, in the early hours of the morning, the young man in question obviously felt the call of nature. Unfortunately nobody had explained to him the issue of the door handle. He must have tried desperately to open that door but eventually he gave up up and grabbed the nearest receptacle he could find. When one of the other guys went to grab his flask, the next morning, he was somewhat surprised to find it full!<\/p>\n

At 6am this morning my dorm of six beds felt like Paddington station. Banging of doors, scrunching of plastic bags, coughing, slamming of draws, showers running, all in all a hell of a din. Unacceptable.<\/p>\n

The other morning I was awoken by the soft moaning of a young lady. Concerned that something might be wrong I glanced across. That’s when I caught sight of a small hairy bum rising and falling on top of said lady.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure there is an unwritten rule book on dormitory behaviour. The latter two scenarios may well have crossed the line of acceptability. However, for our dear friend in Ely, well what else could he have done?<\/p>\n
