The Asian seinor citizens that live upstairs from us.

I always thought I would have to deal with some knucklehead college aged or just out of college aged kid that parties all the time and plays loud music.  Nope, 75 year old asian folks that never seem to sleep, rearrange their furniture at least three times a week, and are running a carpentry shop out of their condo.

Last night, it sounds like they were having a wrestling match up there and someone was going to come through our ceiling.  This morning I wake up hearing the wife making some sort of strange wailing noise…again.  Its really fun when their granddaughter comes over on the weekends and, literally, runs back and forth in their apartment for hours at a time with her shoes on.  I don’t know what she’s running back and forth doing.  It sort of sounds like their playing fetch with her.

The thing I don’t get is that they make all this noise despite the fact they don’t get around that well.  The husband has to use a walker and the wife is a tiny lady.  I wouldn’t think it would be physically possible for them to make as much noise as they do.

The added bonus to the whole thing is they don’t speak any English and they’re half deaf.  So when they’re flooding our apartment by running their water for a long time while washing dishes and something is backing up the pipes (two times), they can’t hear me knocking on the door over the TV and when I finally get them to the door they look at me like I’m stupid when I ask them to turn the water off.  At least now we have their son’s phone number to call to inform them of a problem.  Except the last time Cris went up to ask them to try to keep the noise down their daughter or daughter-in-law yelled at Cris for being rude.

All-in-all, good times.
