and that, in turn, has reminded me....end of the first year at uni, and we all had to vacate our halls...
some people, being a bit more organised, had left already and shifted all their stuff out, but rather than handing tehir keys in, they loaned them to us to store our boxes while we were packing, and thenw e'd hand all the keys in in one go.
Sound plan we thought, until it turned out that they were renting the rooms out to some school kids on a weekend trip somewhere(alton towers mebbe?) and they needed some of the rooms, so they made us vacate one of them...
Thus, that night, we filled the kitchen bin with water and propped it up against one of the doors so that when schoolkid who had stolen our storeroom woke up and opened the door they got drenched.
Oh how we laughed, until it turned out that we then had to vacate another room for the next night as we'd flooded that one...oops.
