DANCING ON THE CEILING
Woh woh... Oh what a feeling.... are the words that Lionel Richie sings but somehow those are not exactly my thoughts or words. as I hear thomping feet above me.
I've been here now for 3 years and gone through several groups above me. When I first came was heaven as the apt was vacant for a month. Then came first couple who were basically quiet, but then he took up weights and I could sometimes hear tham plunking down above me.
Then came the party boys. I think 3 or 4 single guys who were not really that bad BUT they worked day shift so even with les and longer days, they would often drink and party some weeknights and usually weekend. When the weather was decent they'd be out on their balcony (right above my living room and patio... so I'd hear it too.)
Now I have the latest group which I thought was just one or 2 people and it was peaceful at first, but then I started hearing the pitter plop of some more than little feet. So unless they have a clumsy , plump little angel who is trying to learn to dance, I think I have somebody up there who is rather enjoying annnoying me. Good thing is it is not every night.
I have thought about this lately as I hear the thumping feet as to what I would do if I were not such a kind soul. I would like to find a spot to hit with my broomstick as they plop all over that would pop up one of those old time clown punching bags and bounce em around a little. I am soooo bad. Heehee

sorry I know that stuff.....I had a gal below me that hated my stereo....she would bang ceiling with a broom and one day I stomped the floor back....I found that I had a heel spur and it set me off in just horrible pain.....
Makes me glad I live out in the boonies. The only thing I hear is the guy's hot rod from across the street when he leaves for work at 4 am in the morning.....always wakes me up. It's a rental house and I will be glad when he moves out....hugs
Well, the mystery unfolds. When I put my trash bag outside my door to go to bin I heard kids. They were on steps above me (I could see dangling legs of one) sounded to be about 8-10. I came back inside and soon heard kids above . This may be a part of my mystery.
Yes, you are a kind person. Hugs
VQ, You have ballet angels!!! Sort of like a visitation of Leprechans! How wonderful is this? They may be practicing en pointe and accidentally kick their pot of gold down toward you. If not, you do have the free mystery to do with as you will so maybe you have come out ahead in this installment!
Well, not sure I'd call them ballet angels, but I will keep that in mind next time I hear the klunk, klunk of feet. Is either a porked up ballerina or 2 rebel leprechauns. HEEHEE. I will let you know. PS After just the initial chatter when they first came in, no clunking last night. WooHoo
Please be careful of banging on the ceiling now days. People have been angry and rude and they sometimes complain about you to management or the upstairs neighbor will come bang on your door (perhaps with a gun). Do you think this is more than one family living there? In my son's terrible apartment complex, there are 2-3 families in each apartment, then they get evicted or kicked out. Do you think the parent is running an unlicensed day care?
Hasty, don't worry. Only in my thoughts would I bang on my ceiling. ( Partly because I just redid a lease for another year and have no clue how long they are there for., and yes partly because you never know what or who you deal with these days.)
I try to be understanding and have tolerance with others. You all are just stuck with me venting. heehee.
Just heard a couple of thuds. Happy Turkey day to me. Gobble gobble
