Sleep Much?

I think that Koreans are vampires.

They come alive at night and keep their neighbours (me) from sleeping.

The kids that live above me are up running around until midnight, sometimes past, and it seems that everyone is still up fairly early in the morning.

I think that I am cursed to have noisy neighbours that live above me.

On Spence St. in the ghetto of Winnipeg, I was told to "Fuck off" by my stick thin neighbour that lived above me who you would have thought was 300 pounds.
She always seemed to be dragging or banging furniture or something like that while wearing heels and stomping on the hardwood floor.

What bothers me the most, is wondering WHAT THE HELL ARE PEOPLE DOING up there!

Really. WHAT are you doing that is SO noisy.

I know what I do in my apartment and it's not much.

sit on the couch or at the computer, walk softly to the kitchen or to the bathroom. Repeat.

Seriously, what do people do that can make so much noise?

It doesn't help that for some reason I've been blessed/cursed with super-hero hearing and even with ear plugs in, I can still hear things pretty clearly.

Also, I understand that this building was probably built pretty fast and sound proofing was not at the top of their work list.

From side to side, the place is great. Can't hear a thing. It's just above and on occasion the tv below.
I know a lot about my neighbours above me just through the thinness of the ceiling.

I know that the man has a severe hacking problem and it's usually the worst in the morning either after a night of being "heavy drunken" or whatever.

I get to listen to them go to the bathroom, and recently have heard them have sex which was pretty interesting as it was the FIRST time that I have heard them in the past 2 years of living here.

Darren and I were thinking that maybe the wife is banging someone else while her old man was out but nope, cause after, he started hacking away as usual.

Guess it was too much activity for his smoke filled lungs.

It also seems that the couple fights a lot and they have some good screaming matches.
I get to listen to their alarm clock or whatever the hell it is that is making this irritating sound.
There are 2 kids and they like to run around.

If you have any ideas as to what it is that people actually do in their apartments, please fill me in!
I would love to know.

omg i totally feel you! i've asked that same thing aloud before- what ARE they doing up there????!!!!
it sounds like our upstairs neighbor excercises by running back and forth along the length of the apartment for long periods of time.

then they start moving furniture around. something that's on wheels and the wheels squeal as they push it around.

and someone up there pees like niagra falls! it's so loud and long! lol

and don't even get me started on our next door neighbors' fight the other night! it was absolutely ridiculous and i really wanted to call the police but jens talked me out of it. there were some kind of extremely loud explosions! and then the man was locked out and RIPPED the metal bars off the window!

i told andrea king about it and she said that korean people never want to call the police on each other and that the police most likely won't do anything. but she said call 112 if i ever feel i need the police.

anyway, good luck sleeping! lol
