My upstairs neighbors are stomping around constantly, how is that possible?


What besides cocaine would make you pace aggressively around a small apartment? It’s not very sound proofed so it’s extremely irritating, they blast music too I’m about to complain. Apartment living is the worst.

Oh god, does that ever bring back a memory.
Back in 1975, I was on a five month business trip to L.A.
I stayed at the Sheraton Universal for the excellent price of $24 per night. I had a good stay except for the following ...
One Saturday morning I was rudely awakened by the sound of tap dancing from the room above me.
I had to call the front desk and complain in order to make it stop.
Turns out that someone was up for a part in either a film or a TV show that required tap dancing.
They had removed the beds and placed a portable wooden floor over the carpeting just so that person could practice,
The situation was finally resolved when they moved that person to a first floor room.
Ah, Hollywood.

Well, I guess that this person had to practice. It's a good thing for you though that they got another room.

Try listening to the people getting it on and their bed if hitting the wall. It's like a hundred guys with a battering ram against the wall. This went on for months until they broke up. Life is sure funny.

You are basically a young mr heckles. I guess you don't have much friends either.

Much friends? Does that really sound right to you?

Quarantine cabin fever.

reply

That is probably what's up with our neighbor, at least. Because he didn't make any noise before the quarantine days.

This is where you find out that it’s someone that’s been bound and gagged, banging on the floor saying, “Melp me! Mive meen bipnappt.”

Fitbit. They need to meet a certain step requirement.

When I use to rent apartments I would knock on my potential neighbor's door and introduce myself just to get a sense of who they were. If I was going to be on the bottom floor my first stop would be the apartment above. Meet them to see if you like them or not.

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.
