If Your Upstairs Neighbors Are Too Loud, TRY THIS!

Anyone who has ever lived on a lower level apartment knows the struggle of noisy upstairs neighbors.

I’ve lived in several different apartments, and with the exception of one, I was always on the bottom floor–and I would swear that I have lived below herds of elephants. (Were they dropping bricks up there?? Sure sounded like it!)

The worst one was when I lived in Brunswick, Georgia. The neighborhood was beautiful, and I loved the area…but it constantly sounded like the people above me were walking across the floor with cinderblocks on their feet!

It was SO annoying that I’d get my broom and tap on the ceiling–but THIS would have been a much better solution:

I never actually met any of my upstairs neighbors, but here are some of the things that I imagine were going on up there:

• Dutch Cloggers

  Maybe I lived below a troop of Dutch cloggers.

• Tap Dancers

  Share

  Maybe they walked around in steel tap shoes.

• Herd of Buffalo

  Share

  Maybe I lived below a herd of buffalo.
• Stomp Dancers

  Share

  Maybe they were practicing their Stomp routine.

• Bombing

  Was I living below a series of military explosions?

• Herd of Elephants

  Share

  It's entirely possible that I lived below a herd of elephants.
• Stomping Grapes

  Maybe they were really into wine making.

Any of these are very logical possibilities, based on the level of noise coming from upstairs.
