I've talked about the people
I've encountered at the gym in my apartment complex...well I think it's time to talk about my neighbor downstairs.
I live on the top floor and have been luckily enough to live on the top floor of every complex I've lived in. But back in the dorms I was not on the top floor so I know what it's like to be able to hear the people above you sometimes. Just want to clear that up...I do know what it's like to have upstairs neighbors...
The lady that lives below me banged on the her ceiling/my floor one night. Was I being loud...maybe for like a hot minute, but nothing that required her to bang on the ceiling. I conscientiously try to walk quietly and try my best not to drop things, but sometimes things happen.
Ever since that night I've been walking on egg shells to avoid her wrath. Well a few months later I was on my way to the gym and sure enough she was in the pool area so I had to walk by her. She stopped me and asked if I was moving out. I said no, why? She said that the past Saturday I was being extremely loud and it sounded like I was moving furniture. I told her that I had barely even been home that day. Then she informs me that I must have been doing something and that she is a night owl and likes to work at night and she couldn't concentrate. So I think about it and told her that I vacuumed that evening so I moved a few chairs and what not to get under them, but at like 5 pm not late at night so I don't know what she heard.
What I really wanted to say to her was that I could tell she dinged my car with her car door (she parks next to me and it all matches up) and I didn't appreciate that. I also wanted to tell her that while she might be able to hear my foot steps, I can hear her yell at her daughter, yell at her dog and slam doors. And mostly I wanted to tell her that we live in apartments. The walls are thin. You are going to hear stuff so either move or get over it!!!! Ugh!!! Some people...
