1. Yea obviously you want to have a good time and party. Being out til dawn is a much better story than being in at 9pm and while everyone respects your right to party, you don't need to be an asshole about it. If you come back to your hostel later than midnight don't make a production out if. Whispering loudly to your friend about that hot Persian guy as you frantically look for your toothbrush that you conveniently carry in a plastic bag is not the best way to make friends. Come in quietly and don't make a scene. Some people have to wake up early Princess!
2. On the other hand there are those rare creatures who like to hit the hay at 8PM, turning off the dorm lights and getting all ready for beddy bye. If you are a grown person, you have no business going to bed at 8 AND turning off the light. You wouldn't go 30mph on the highway would you? exactly: game, set, match.
3. Pregaming, a sacred tradition for undergrads and party animals worldwide. Who doesn't like a few good drinks before a night out? I have no problem with this, but what I do have a problem with is your playlist. Not everyone LOVES Lady Gaga, and not everyone wants to listen to you and Becky screaming RA-RA-OHH-LA-LA as you down cheap wine. Eat, drink, and be merry....but keep your shitty music in your headphones please and thank you.
4. Showers. Now if there are several showers, then don't worry about it and take your time and enjoy, but if there is only 1 shower per 20 people, maybe not spend an hour lathering, rinsing, and repeating. We all enjoy cleanliness, so share the wealth.
5. Ignoring your alarm. So you had every intention of waking up at 8AM, but you and the boys got a little carried away last night and now it's already 9AM and your alarm is still going off, much to the chagrin of the entire dorm. If you set it, you better not forget it!!
6. I understand when you do need to wake up early and I am so proud that you turned off your alarm right away. What I am not so keen on is that now you are talking loudly to your buddy about who is going to carry the shampoo and what time your train leaves. Should you have breakfast before you go? I don't know and I don't care. Just because you are overly ambitious and began your day at 6AM doesn't mean anyone else has. Indoor voices until 10AM Please and thank you!
7. Stealing beds. This is absolutely the worst. So you got in late that day and all the good beds are taken. You and Jessica wanted to share a bunk, it's not fair that you couldn't find the hostel! Well, I understand that you would prefer to share a bunk with your friend than some random Canadian but sometimes that is not always possible, so get over it. Moving someone's stuff is the biggest "no-no" in hostel living. If you do it, you deserve any and all repercussions.
8. Snoring. Just don't. If you are a snorer pay the extra ten bucks for a private room. All the dirty looks you'll avoid the next morning make the extra cost totally worth it.
9. Using the hostel computer to stalk your 5th grade boyfriend's new girlfriend. This obviously isn't a problem when a hostel has several computers, but when there is just one, don't hog it surfing the web and watching youtube videos. It is totally declasse
10. And finally....Sex. not in a room full of 20 other people you perv. That's what club bathrooms are for.
