Idea for dorm furniture: what do you think? (long)

College Life

<p><em>allie</em> sorry…</p>

<p>In other words, I said that I was curious to see just how many whiny b.itches there were out there (not that this site is necessarily a good figure…but its an idea) and how they would react. </p>

<p>Earlier, I had a few people saying that they would think I’m a unibomber, psychotic, that I need help, and that they would kick me out of their dorm asap.</p>

122

<p>Katho11: at this point, I dont even care about the privacy thing since it is what people were creeped out the most about. Just Picture a bunkbed but without the bed or guardrails <a href=“http://www.originalfurnitureplans.com/furniture/bed/loft/bed2.JPG[/url]”>http://www.originalfurnitureplans.com/furniture/bed/loft/bed2.JPG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>kind of like that, but with the bed on bottom (as I would sit on it while using the desk), no guardrails, and locking cabinets as well as shelves.</p>

<p>also, it would only be between 4.5 and 5.5 feet tall</p>

123

<p>If this acctually occured I’d probably be confused upon first seeing the box, then thoroughly amused when I realized what its purpose was. I’d ask you if you had an infectious disease or something, then I’d ask if I could have guys over while you were in your box. Then I’d leave the room and crack jokes with my parents. Then I’d go make other friends.</p>

<p>The above plan isn’t bad, if you college permits it.</p>

124

<p>Ha, I was one of them, but I was honestly exaggerating. I would definitely think the box was weird…not going to lie…but I wouldn’t actually write you off based only on that.</p>

125

<p>Wouldn’t the desk get in the way while you were sleeping? Would it fold up? </p>

<p>That could be pretty cool.</p>

126

<p>Ah. Well, to be fair, I would be really confused if I walked into someone’s dorm room and there was a big wood box around one of the beds. If you’re doing something so outside of the norm you have to expect that people will be curious about a person who thinks to do such things. </p>

<p>Unibomber might be a hyperbole, though.</p>

127

<p>I was in the process of editing my post to say that the desk ends would not come over the bed, but the thing had some kind of error…</p>

<p>I might have a few flip down things, but they require support, so I probably cant get away with a lot</p>

128

<p>You’ve done got me interested in this thing. I might draw something up to show you for ideas…but I may not have time, though, since I’m gonna be out of town all weekend.</p>

129

<p>I just think… it would be a little unhealthy to lock yourself up in a box - especially with black lights? I mean, it’s like… living in a box. How could you live in a box without going stir crazy or something?
I dunno, besides the fact that it would be kind of weird, I doubt it would be comfortable or fun</p>

130

<p>As far as trash/laundry goes, on the side opposite the desk, the 1’ wide side, I’d have 2 small flip up lids, one leading to the laundry bag, and the other to a small trash bag. I’d pull either one up through the lid, and thered be a trash can/hamper holding either bag in place.</p>

131

<p>dawn: I’d have regular flourescent lights as well as the black lights. I wouldn’t have them on constantly either.</p>

132

<p>now you can invent me a lazy-boy/toilet/fridge/computer desk i’ll be golden. i’ll never have to leave my chair.</p>

133

<p>eh, I dont know about all that</p>

134

<p>“I’m just kind of curious at this point as to how many “oh my god her furniture looks ■■■■■■■■ f.uck I’m gonna die lets go threaten to comitt suicide so we get her kicked out,” whiny b.itches there are out there.”</p>

<p>It’s got nothing to do with someone else being a whiny *****, but rather that they’re just creeped out by their roommate living in a fortress.</p>

135

<p>…get over it</p>

<p>and it obviously does considering that its not against school policy, so there is nothing wrong with it. </p>

<p>She can make of it what she wants, I’m only willing to compramise so much.</p>

136

<p>Question…do you have to actually use the school’s bed or will they let you move it out?</p>

137

<p>This is really the funniest thing I’ve ever read on CC.</p>

138

<p>Kimba- I totally agree. It’s definitely up there.</p>

139

<p>I have to use the schools bed. The only storage that I have is my closet…I can fit my desk in there, but not my bed (obviously)</p>

<p>I have no problem with using it…I can get around having to attach stuff to the bed, and I know the exact dimensions, so its not a problem</p>

140

<p>Eh, well that pretty much kills the thing I have drawn up.</p>
