Well everyone, the Upstairs Stomper (neighbor right above me that has lead for two feet) has been stomping back and forth at least since 1 p.m. today. I was in the kitchen making some crab rangoons (complete with homemade wonton wrappers) and heard this person stomping back and forth--even out on the breezeway.
Then about 2:30 p.m., the Upstairs Stomper decided to turn on some "music". Now in the past, I could investigate by going outside to the back of the building and hear it from the sidewalk beneath my apartment. Today, that wasn't the case.
Wandering to the living area of my apartment, I could sort of isolate where the "music" was emanating--above my head, near the front window. To verify, I went outside and moved about as silently as a heavy-set person can move.
The "music" wasn't coming from the neighbors with the Banging Brood. So I went upstairs fairly quietly. It was amazing that I could walk at a fairly normal pace without making "boom, boom, boom" noises with my feet. And like I said, I'm heavier than the Upstairs Stomper.
When I reached the apartment right above mine, I could definitely hear the "music" outside the window.
You know what? They make headphones for that. And if you can't bear being tied to a wire, then there's wireless options. I know, because I've been exploring these options so I can watch movies without bothering my neighbors with it.
Anyway, it's been reported, so we'll see what happens.
