Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard.

And they frequently, almost daily, spend the entire evening stomping around the entire footprint of their apartment.

Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked” then proceed to make all the fucking noise in the world?

    I had a neighbour I lived next to that no joke the kids used to play basketball inside the apartment. We met the poor person below them once and she asked almost jokingly if they play basketball. Yes, yes they do that is what they’re doing.

    Luckily at my new apartment I don’t have to wonder what they’re doing because in addition to the stomping I can also hear their kids fucking screaming the entire day. Do they jump on their bed at 5 am? Why yes. Do they chase the dog around at 2 pm? Why yes, yes they do. Does their dad come home and yell at them at 5 pm? Why yes! Yes he does.

      I lived in a relatively quiet apartment until a group of professional skateboarders moved in above me.

      They would no joke just party all night while doing kickflips right above my bedroom. Management wouldn’t do anything. Talking to them, yelling at them, nothing made it stop. I have never been so close to committing a massacre before. The only thing that worked was to set up a 1-on-1 meeting with the main guy in the apartment office and shook his hand and told him I really feel like I’m about to lose it and have nothing left to live for because they were ruining my life. They all moved out like 3 days later.

      Had what I would consider PTSD from that for a couple of years. Every little bang would send my blood pressure soaring.
