My kids are completely to blame for the broom to the ceiling idea.....<br /><br />About 2 months ago, a fraternity moved in above us into apartment 511. We have done everything. Ask them to be quiet, complain to the super, call the police...like 50 times. Finally, I decided I'd had enough and I gave each kid a broom, mop handle and some shoes. they were told to jump on the bed AT 6AM and bang on the ceiling with the mop and broom stick ends and throw shoes at the ceiling as hard as they could. And YELL... loudly....<br /><br />It worked ;-)RV Puzzledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07622530864223498514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407265600597796219.post-56977587261587264912010-11-10T15:09:46.584-05:002010-11-10T15:09:46.584-05:00When we lived in shared dwelling (it wasn't a ...When we lived in shared dwelling (it wasn't a regular apt.), we had a downstairs neighbour who was extremely selective about the sounds she tolerated.<br /><br />She took great exception to my using our washer - and said so - but bounded up the stairs and THROUGH THE DOOR uninvited, unannounced, starry-eyed and ready to chat, at the sound of our stand mixer. She would pretty much set up camp until whatever I happened to be baking came out of the oven! LOL!R.M.

Mom works two jobs. She leaves the house at 11:30pm and the party starts at 11:45. Their back steps go right past our bedroom window. One night I lifted the blinds to scream at them that I was trying to sleep. My head was literally 6 inches from theirs and they were screaming at the other kids who were inside their apartment. We also have to listen to them getting sick off the balcony when they've had to much to drink. I told the mother that if it happened again I would call the police. So a couple of nights later another neighbor did call the police. They thought it was me. So now they don't speak to me. Oh well.FairyLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959088329880908252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407265600597796219.post-12762712141259545542010-11-08T09:38:24.867-05:002010-11-08T09:38:24.867-05:00Ah yes, I had forgotten the joys of living so clos...Ah yes, I had forgotten the joys of living so close to neighbors. I lived in several apartments..."back in the day" ;) I remember in particular the smells of ethnic foods permeating at all hours. <br /><br /> Hope the move goes well!Serendipityissweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971375549834680356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407265600597796219.post-41629352319934782802010-11-07T07:58:52.535-05:002010-11-07T07:58:52.535-05:00: ) I love that picture.

When we bought the condo, the people above us were older professionals. The only noise they made was running the washing machine early in the morning. They have since sold it and the new owners rent it out. On this particular day, it sounded just like you have described. It sounded like people were taking boxes packed full and just dropping them on the floor over and over, bowling, kids running back and forth, screaming, slamming cabinets. Within the first 30 minutes, I was ready to pack up and head home a day early. I thought we might be calling the police later that night but surprisingly they quietened down. If the ceilings weren't so high, I might have used the broom too...neighborly or not :-) They weren't being very respectful neighbors.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983979877729749042noreply@blogger.com
