It wasn't all that bad other than the little place I had to clean up didn't have A/C and it was hotter than hell in there.
Not bad, mine wasn't bad. I helped out at some SLU event at the law school and got a prosecuting attorney to sign me off a few hours early, plus I got a ton of food and soda.

Glad to hear you both paid your debt to society.
After having somebody shut off the TV while So Taguchi's go-ahead homerun was in midair leaves me with NO debt to pay to society! Total BS... I'll never forgive SLU or the neighbor's of that apartment after that.
When I was 25 I got busted peeing in the Arch grounds underground parking lot at 2am by a Park Service rental cop. It cost me $50.
While the park cop in his polyester suit was issuing the citation and informing of my rights in a high, lispy voice, my two older brothers were dancing the Icky Shuffle (remember Icky Woods?) about 20 ft away. Craziest thing I ever seen...

Go-Kart DPS officer.
The irony is, three weeks later, some renegades destroyed the fountain outside my place and because DPS is too busy writing up frivolous citations, no one was there to stop them. SLU is now attempting to charge the residents of my apartment complex area for the damages to the fountain.
Some of the departments here are so incredibly inept in common sense.
My roommate worked over the summer as an on-campus furniture mover. In another great move by SLU's Housing & Residence Life, they had his crew move a room's set of furniture inside and outside this 16 story building three times. Housing then gave a fourth order to move the same set of furniture back inside and everyone quit.

You live in the village? I'm right across the street from you in the Lofts.
My freshmen year they found broken glass from a bottle in the lobby of Gries, so they swept it up, threw it away, and promptly fined every single person in the complex $3. There's like 1000 people that live in that complex. Did it seriously cost $3000 to sweep up and throw away a broken glass bottle?

I'd have walked over from Reiney and done that job for only $2,000. Could have saved you all a dollar.
This University is highly unethical when it comes to the treatment of students and their money.

For instance, I'm a commuter and I pay $200 (mandatory) for $150 worth of food (that's incredibly overpriced to begin with)

Oh, if you want to talk meal plans then this is the best part. You can pay $1,930 for 1200 'flex' dollars. However, the irony is if you just pay in cash $1=1 Flex dollar, and with the commuter plan, you can add onto your flex dollars for about $75 for 100 flex or something. If you get the flex meal plan SLU basically just steals $700 from you.
On my 22nd birthday, a bunch of us went downtown and got absolutely smashed. While in college, we often found it hilarious to walk home wasted and put lawn gnomes in compromising positions etc.
Anyway, while doing this on this particular night it started to storm heavily, and we started running. My friend went ahead of us because the running had made his bowels loosen up a little too much, and he said, "He couldn't wait to get home."
Several bike cops busted him for pooping in public behind a bush on campus. It was absolutely hilarious, they stood there and shined the light on him and waited for him to finish. Several of us wanted to go to court with him just to hear the judge read his charge to him. He got like 10 hours for that as well...
