Bigfoot in Bismarck

I have no idea who lives above me. I have no idea what they do for a living or if they even work. I don't even know if it is more than one people. But most importantly, I have NO IDEA what's with all the walking!! Maybe I'm just a big, lazy bum, I'm willing to admit that. But I have no idea how a person (it only sounds like one) can do so much walking in an apartment. Even if this apartment is as big as mine, WHERE ARE YOU GOING???? Do you take your laundry to the washing machine one sock at a time and subsequently return your clean laundry the same way? Do you not have a tv remote control but still like to channel surf? I'd consider maybe there is some sort of medical/bladder issue involved that requires frequent trips to the bathroom, but the fact of the matter is that there is never a long enough pause in the walking for a person to actually do anything once they got to the bathroom. I would be more upset about the situation, but I don't get the impression that the individual is trying to be loud. I'm just curious where or where you are going????? Oh, and I guess one more question, do you ever sleep or do you spend all night walking? It's almost to the point where it is like white noise to me... almost, but not quite. At least it is better than listening to Nike and Ralphy yip all day and night.

  1. I kid you not, the walking has been continuous through my writing of this post and the next. And still going...

  2. I've had upstairs neighbors like that. During 1L the upstairs people had a 10-year-old who was really a larger kid and would run and bounce balls up and down the hallway all night. One night the Husband went up to ask them to FREAKING STOP IT but the mom just sort of smiled apologetically and said she couldn't control the kid. Plus one time he invited his friends over for a sleepover and they decided to "wrestle" by belting pillows onto their stomach and back and then JUMPING OFF THE BED ONTO EACH OTHER. All. Night. Long.

    In The House Search: upstairs neighbors is kind of a deal-breaker.

  3. While that kind of behavior is unacceptable (and the reason that my condo in MI was on the second floor), I am just totally confused by this person because they don't appear to be doing anything out of the ordinary besides just walking constantly! I agree, though, upstairs neighbors are a definite dealbreaker in the house market.

  4. Yeah, the constant pacing is sort of odd. Maybe Howard Hughes lives above you? I guess it's exercise... but hmm. I don't know. Very odd.
