Notes -
My freshman year of college, I wanted to raise the bed in my dorm room to make some space for storage but didn't want to buy bed risers, and so when I noticed our local textbook store giving out free hardcover copies of old editions of textbooks (I think these were genuinely decades old, not ones from last year with some problem sets changed), I took a whole lot of them and used stacks of them as bed risers. No one was particularly triggered, but I recall at least one dorm-mate kinda being disgusted and saying that he felt it was like book burning, but he couldn't explain why.
My girlfriend and I managed to literally break the bed in an AirBnB we were staying at.
When we checked in, some poor bastard studying law had left a doorstopper of a textbook in the cupboard, and it was handily repurposed to keep it from sagging. It was a miracle the owner didn't try and bill us for damages.
To make up for our sins, we left a similarly sized pair of binders full of maybe a kilogram's worth of notes and clinical vignettes, it would have likely been cheaper to book the course again rather than try and pay for the extra luggage space.
