Top or bottom? And give reasons.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Top. Avoid seapage.

 

[sc0la]

Bottom so you can get into bed easier when drunk / build a fort.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Personally I don't take no bunk from nobody.

 

[Cloudy]

Top

- No grimy feet on your bed when your bunkmate is going up
- Your bed won't be a seat for anyone and everyone

 

[Spiritreaver]

You look like a bottom to me. For obvious reasons.

 

[GDGF]

Bottom (for safety issues), but I must say that I learned on GAF from an african tennis player that you shouldn't take no bunk.

 

[calder]

I'm going to be honest - I always had you pegged as a top.

 

[Eminem]

bottom. easier to pass out onto, and less work to climb. imagine climbing a ladder when you're piss drunk.

 

[Dyne]

Bottom. So you can reach whatever you have on the floor. I.E. Game boy, beer, whatever. On the top you'd have to put it directly on the bed and it restricts movement.

 

[=W=]

If your roommate wets the bed, take top. Otherwise, scola's points are just too valid to ignore. I know from experience that it is much more difficult to build a fort on the top bunk.

You misspelled "basketball"

It depends on how picky you are about your stuff. If you don't mind having people sitting on your bed all the time, take the bottom.

 

[shibbs]

If your roommate weighs a ton, take top.

 

[fart]

set up a hammock next to your desk. keep a stalk of straw in your mouth at all times.

 

[Leon]

Top, that way if it breaks, you survive.

 

[Ghost]

Top, bottom isnt easier to get into when you are wasted, you'll hit your head, every time. Besides you wont mind sleeping on the floor if you are that wasted.

 

[White Man]

You are so a top.

However, my first semester of college, I fell out of my top bunk and smashed out my two front teeth. After the needed dental surgery, I decided to become a bottom.

 

[Boomer]

Bottom, it's embarrassing bringin a girl to your room and havin to climb into the top bunk.

Yeah but if the ceiling gives way, you die......

 

[MrPing1000]

Yeah but if the ceiling gives way, you die......

ohh shit, you've just fucked my whole decision making process when it comes to bunk beds

 

[Minotauro]

Bottom. Climbing when you're tired is no fun.

 

[JackFrost2012]

I preferred top just because when falling asleep, I could stare at the ceiling. On the bottom you have to stare at the underside of your roommate and that always made me uncomfortable.

If you're an aggressive person capable of controlling your own destiny and room, take the bottom. You can keep people from using your bed as a seat by force of will. Meanwhile it's more convenient. You can use the bottom bunk as a seat, it's easier to fall into and out of while sleepy, and the storage space underneath it is defaults to you (even if you split it, it's simply more convenient for you).

If you're a passive person who like to avoide confrontation, take the top bunk. You can use it to retreat away from others. And if you're pretending to sleep, no on really can say otherwise unless they're willing to climb up and into the bunk with you. The ceiling becomes yours by default... so you can put post-it notes, posters, or those annoying glow-in-the-dark stickers up there. The top bunk is largely un molested by strangers and other people, so you can actually make your bed and keep it the way you like.

I always took the top. I liked having my own private "perch" up above everyone else... kinda like how my cat always stares down at me from the top of my desk.

also, depending on how the bed is made... its possible that the filth of the top person seeps down and coats the person on the bottom during the night.

Top was just kinda a place where no one could bother you... whereas if my roomate was laying on his bed down below and someone wanted to watch tv they would just sit on him.

 

[belgurdo]

Top bunk, so that you can pee on people when they make you mad

I don't think that's a problem for Matlock.

 

[Matlock]

Of course, I could also seperate the beds.
