Reminds me of my mother's neighbor when she lived in her apartment in Texas. Mom lived on the 2nd floor in a 3-story apartment building. She didn't want to live on the first floor because it was too easy for burglars to break in. She didn't want to live on the top floor because it would be too much work to move in or get groceries up there. So that's why she was living in the middle area.
Some time after mom moved in, some woman moved in the apartment directly over hers, and honestly, after what mom told me, she wins the prize for World's Worst Upstairs Neighbor. It seems that apartment had no carpeting whatsoever, and the woman living up there would clunk around with thick-soled shoes on all the frickin' time! In the evenings, she would stand on the balcony of her apt. and smoked like a chimney, and poor mom couldn't leave the screen door of her bedroom open to cool it off during that time because of that, with all the cigarette smoke drifting down. This woman also apparently brought a nest of cockroaches with her, because mom had to call in the exterminator over and over again to get rid of them, and they never found a nest in mom's apt. She noted the cockroaches didn't show up until shortly after the neighbor moved in. But the noise, smoke, and cockroaches wasn't the worst of it. At night, this woman would have certain special visitors over, and she was a Screamer. She apparently did not know how to be quiet in her bedroom at night, and poor mom had to hear it because her bedroom was directly below this idiot's room.
Needless to say, mom was happy to eventually move out.
