The elephant upstairs...

Recommended Posts

So is it rude to go introduce yourself to your upstairs neighbor and tell him he is a heavy walker?
I'm sure he is only walking normally, but it sounds like a herd of elephants up there.. and its ALL hours of the night. 3:20 am seems to be particularly active..
I know that its just the way the apartments are built because I can hear him pee too.. should I bring that up as well? :ph34r::|

Sorry.... I'll keep it down from now on... but by all means, come introduce yourself. Clothing optional.

My wife and I had a similar problem when we lived in an apartment, only we were the noise-makers... We were on the top floor. There was this guy below us who I'm pretty sure worked the 3rd shift or something, and slept during the day. My wife is a heavy walker but she's only 160 lbs... the dude below us would pound on his ceiling day after day. We also use a vibrator alarm clock to wake up, and the SOB hated that too (THUMP THUMP THUMP)... sometimes we stomped on the floor in response, well he got fed up and came upstairs and pounded on the door. Of course, we refused to answer. After a while I opened it, and found a note taped on the door. It was pretty rude, all kinds of threats and if we have a problem, we know where to find him, blah blah blah... I promptly took it to the apartment manager. He left us alone after that. Even moved out within a month...

Note: Don't fuck with deaf apartment tenants... ;)

Still, we felt bad about the noise... it's just the way we live. I'm normally a light walker. I walk like a cat... learned the skill growing up because I had to if I wanted to sneak out of my room in the middle of the night and watch TV or something... :ph34r:

I don't know what to say that could help you. You can ask the apartment manager to mediate the situation... or get some ear plugs... :D jk!

That must be annoying. I wouldn't want to sit and hear my neighbors pee all the time. I even have a roommate and I wouldn't want to hear him pee. Thankfully I can't hear it. :|

Maybe get a blowhorn and everytime you hear him squeeze the bottle. This might piss Casie off though. :D

Wow seems lots of people on here have the same problem. Count me in on that. They beyotch upstairs must have a bowling ball that she is dropping in random spots of the house. I don't know what else could make such a thump. The loud walker thing is getting pretty annoying. The most annoying this though is when I am woken up in the middle of the night to her screaming at the top of her lungs. Now this isn't like words screaming, just screaming. The other day I actually heard her daughter come in and say something and then a bit later more screaming. This is at like 2 a.m. I don't know if she is having fits or what but I thought about leaving a note on the door that says I can hear you. I decided to stay the note until the next outburst. Lately things have calmed down a bit with her since I left a speaker pointed towards the ceiling turned on 105.3 the buzz all weekend long while I was at SDA. Since then I have not heard her blaring tv in the middle of the night.
Noise wars are a bitch, but I'll be damned if I can't be more of a pain. Beyotchesss!!!!!!!

I sometimes toss my shoes in to the closet from across the room.. :ph34r:

Dude.. glad I dont have to deal with a screamer! I just have a loud pisser! But I guess its all part of living in an apartment. Even nice apartments are built of cheap materials.

I am lucky in this aspect. My upstairs neighbor is pretty cool. We do however have music wars. I hope I get songs stuck in her head like she gets songs stuck in mine :D:D:D:D

I walked around most of yesterday singing "push it" from Salt n Pepa :|

Most times the thump is from the kitchen area. It's so loud though that it can make me jump if I'm kind of dozing on the couch or something.
Mine is a condo, but condo apartment not really any difference. I could put a new sound proof ceiling in my bedroom, but I figure it would cost like a grand or so. That is money away from jumping!! I have ear plugs that work just fine, just pisses me off I have to use them in the middle of the night.

.....She moved in while I was in the unfortunate position of working the overnight shift at the local filling station and convenience store to supplement my collegiate lifestyle.

It was a more innocent time in America's past when MTV still played music videos on a regular basis, and the spirit of Rock & Roll freedom and rebellion rested squarely on the shoulders of a young, New Jersey native by the name of Jon Bon Jovi.

He must have been carrying that load alone, because his latest video -commemorating a lively and poetic anthem called "You Give Love A Bad Name"- was running in approximately twice hourly rotation on that illustrious cable channel.
I didn't watch MTV as a rule; particularly during days following a midnight to 6am shift. But I know the video was played twice an hour because SHE would mark those moments by LITERALLY GRUNTING LIKE A GORILLA, and POUNDING at full bore from whatever concrete laden room she was in at the time, to a position in front of the television, where she would AUDIBLY FLOP DOWN and begin singing along with the television; now at full blast.

My numerous attempts to civilly defuse the situation were frustrated by the fact that she, by my estimation, could not muster more than a monosyllable in response to any question or comment. In fact, judging by the distance between her eye sockets, I earnestly doubted her genetic completeness.

By the time "Wanted, Dead or Alive" was released, I was in the market for a handgun. Fortunately, for her, she was asked to vacate the building after breaking several windows in her own apartment.

I have not since, nor will I ever, under ANY circumstances, live beneath another sapien again.

That dude is loud - but I guess I've just gotten used to it and somehow block it out - weird.

I think we should go introduce ourselves and let him be aware of the situation - our motivation would be there if he was cute - but he's not:|

Yah we thought about that when apt hunting but went with 1st floor because:
1. I travel so I'm always hauling luggage, computers, gear, etc around in business suits and HEELS.
2. We both skydive and the odds of one of us breaking a leg or ankle are likely.. easier to hobble in to a 1st floor place.
3. My TV weighs 600lbs. Ask Blaine, Hippie, and Bob. Moving it is a Biatch.

Just a few weeks ago moved into an apartment and last night we were trying to waltch a movie and the kids in the complex stomp up and down the stairs atleast 15 times a night and go out the front door and let it SLAM SHUT!!!!!
>:( the girl across the hall put a note on the door but it still continued to slam, so we went outside and sat down and as the door came flying open and the kid comes out... I really nicely explained to him how it was to live in that apartment with the stomping and slamming of the door and asked him not to let it slam.....
Problem fixed, he also told all his buddies

Yeah, you're TV on that little table is a death trap waiting to spring.
My Washer/Dryer were a bitch to haul up L-shaped stairs too. But the last time I lived UPSTAIRS from someone, I had a loose u-joint in the pipes under my kitchen sink. It fell off while I was washing dishes and every drop of water went directly into the apartment downstairs. It was running for about 15 minutes before the neighbors noticed and came upstairs. Hot soapy water filled with food particles right into their bathroom walls.
..And it happened more than once. I felt bad, but what could I do?. I'll take the TV hernia any day.

I think it would be OK if you phrase it properly. I once had a downstairs neighbor who would talk on the phone in the kitchen. I could hear her so clearly she may as well have been in my kitchen. One day I saw her in the court yard and told her about it. What I didn't do was preface my statement with the fact that the venting in the complex was horrible, and that it didn't bother me I was concerned about her privacy - I had over heard some private things. She got pissed and defensive and it didn't turn out well. Sooo, you might start your conversation, after introducing yourself of course, with something about the construction of the building lacking.
