We have new neighbors that just moved in upstairs. Seemingly cute and kind couple who live directly above us and are HEEL WALKERS. Everywhere they go, they stomp. Sometimes they sprint run around their apartment, usually after 10 PM. Everyday things are somehow the loudest things I have ever heard.

Needless to say Melissa and I are losing it. And quickly. It’s been a week and a half, and the stomping persists.

Today I must have been feeling particularly empowered. At the first stomp I grabbed our broom and gave a few quick knocks on the ceiling, Tony Orlando style. I felt a little rude right after I did it, but miraculously the walking became quiet.

Until it wasn’t. GRRRR. I consider myself a patient girl, but when my sleep is interrupted by lover’s sprinting around above me at ungodly hours? No more miss nice girl. I broomed them and I will broom them again!

Consideration is not an option when you live in an apartment folks, so come on over to the tiptoe side.
