I swear our upstairs neighbors have added “crossfit gym,” “wood shop,” and “arcade but only for DDR” to their previous 24-7 vacuum cleaner demonstration business.

WTF ARE THEY DOING UP THERE

  1. Had a gang of upstairs neighbours we called “the elephants” due to sheer amount of noise. We thought they (sonehow) had an old school roller coaster up there. Decided they just used wheeled office chairs to move around 100% of the time.

  2. Our previous upstairs neighbours took out the (terrible) carpet before they sold the place, but didn't redo the flooring.

    Current neighbours are SO LOUD because of substandard flooring. When ever they arrive home, my partner and I look at each other and say "THE HONSES ARE BACK"

  3. Sophomore year of college, we were like "what the heck are they doing up there, it sounds like roller skating?"

    And we went upstairs, and sure enough, for the first time in the history of people asking that question, they were actually playing roller hockey.

  4. Wow, and I thought the elephant family who like to samba upstairs, and my charming old neighbor heard slowly and loudly dying of emphysema coughing all night through my paper thin walls were bad…

  5. That painfully sucks. I bought sound proof headphones and custom fitted hear plugs for a very similar reason. The ear plugs weren't even that expensive and they are a great way to find out how much noise your own body makes 😅

  6. My mother's upstairs neighbors use the apartment hall (not the building hall, the hall in the apartment, that connects the bedrooms to the living area) as a bowling alley, I swear.

    Pretty sure mine has a lathe or a pottery wheel or something else that turns/churns rhythmically.

  7. I once lived below my landlord and 1 day I'd swear she was just pounding her dining room chairs on the floor for hours & the next she'd be n her heels on hardwood floors for what seem like forever as she prepared to leave....the next day, she'd be breaking up blocks of ice by dropping on the floor.

  8. Crackheads. They never sleep. My ex has a sister and BIL who are literal crackheads and they do home improvement projects at all hours. It’s insane.

  9. I used to live next door to some people whose main hobbies, as far as I could tell, were "late-night furniture rearranging" and "dropping marbles on to a wooden floor from a medium height".

  10. I feel for ya. Going through this myself right now as well. Three previous upstairs neighbors in same apartment were totally normal and fine. Now i hear constant stomping and banging things around. Management said lease says they cannot do anything about “everyday sounds.”

  11. I think the same of my neighbors with outdoor power tools

    My husband & I believe our landscaper neighbor can’t find work for employees so he has them pull leaves and branches off any trees or bushes on his property along with grass clippings and feeds them into a wood chipper next to my driveway

  12. I once lived on the bottom floor of a two story apartment and I swear my upstairs neighbor installed a one lane bowling alley. Fortunately I had a stereo that was undefeated in the barracks audio wars and they got 100 watts per channel of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in retaliation. IYKYK😉🫡
