I might kill my neighbor and the carpet guys downstairs.

Reading this thread made me realize how lucky I am. We live in a 3 family house on the first floor. Our landlord, a 70-something year old italian lady, is quiet as a mouse and every time we go upstairs to pay the rent many a baked good are thrust upon us. Our apartment is in bad condition, but can be easily fixed up if I get off my lazy but. But the rent is cheap and no one could ask for a better landlord. We used to live right behind the police station & fire department so this is a welcome change.

The apartment that's just above mine is inhabited my a group of hyperactive marble-wielding brats. I usually like to be around children, but these kids don't even play with their marbles, they simply drop them every 3 seconds to see how much they can bounce. The problem is that their floor is also my roof so I get to hear the whole show, which can last as long as 3 hours . I can assure you, There is naught nor ought there be, a sound as annoying and disturbing as a million marbles bouncing on your roof These children were sent by God to punish me, I know this

Marble bouncing? Could it be the central air conditioning? (if you have one)

Trade for a loud Russian couple with a hyperactive per-schooler who has a basic keyboard which is programmed to play Christmas Carols, or provide backing drum solos?
Jingle Bells at 6.30am in midsummer is not the way to be woken up. Even worse when she puts it on repeat. Or leaves it on a drum solo and walks away for 30min.
And to think me and my flatmate were getting worried when the wife and kids disappeared for 3 months and the husband started work on a patio in his back garden......

Next time this happens iGary, dig up your LaCie drive (I presume it's buried somewhere, that or climbing steadily on a collision course with a SW Airliner after being lobbed by your good self into the wide blue yonder in disgust) and start using it whilst it's plugged in and sitting in the middle of the apartment. That should drown out that nasty carpet stretcher.
