I just checked out of the dorms and managed to negotiate out of the 150 USD cleaning fees by bribing the guy that did my check-out 50 USD. I had the same problem with the guy saying that it is not clean without even looking. When I asked him what's the problem he started searching everywhere until he found a few spots I missed in the microwave, then he went on about how it will take 2 hours to clean. I talked him down to one hour and realized that he is interested in something else, so I "accidentally" forgot 50 USD in my desk, and all of a sudden the apartment is clean. So total damage - 100 for check out fee and 50 for the bribe.

I am not sure what's the difference between that and bribing... I got stopped by a cop in India for some odd reason (hard time understanding his English, but might have been speeding?), anyhow, ended up paying 30 USD and he did me a favor by letting me go... I am pretty sure I bribed the cop, and he did me a favor... I am wondering if I can pay the golden T a chunk of cash (greater than 50?) to let me have my MD tomorrow - if it works with the maintenance guys below it should work with the golden T up top!
