Well, down stairs neighbors just stooped to a new low. My wife hasn't been sleeping well so what little sleep she had last night was interrupted by a cop knocking at our door at 3am. She had been laying in bed when nature called. She got out of bed almost fell down but tripped a little in the sheets so she manage to get to the bathroom than she lays back down. Not even 5 minutes later there was a knock a the door. It seems the neighbors downstairs called the police because of loud pounding. He asked what my wife was doing than and my wife said she was trying to sleep ( she was half asleep.) so then he said Why do you think they are complaining about the noise. My wife is starting to get pissed and she said I don't know maybe I'm a fat girl just walking around my house. and He took my wife's name and our phone number and told her to walk softer.
My wife did write them a note today stating that she didn't know walking around in her own house constituted a call to the cops next time she'll pee the bed to make them happy.
She said to me since the woman below us didn't want animals around because they would be smelly YET this woman has bird feeders on her porch encouraging not only birds but other wild animals to hover around the complex.
Talk about Hypocrites.

(36,063 posts)I haven't lived in an apartment since 2001, but I spent lots of years in apartments.
I listen to tv and music at very low volume,
The SO not so. I'm always asking to turn down the sound...she always wants to turn it up.

The majority of interactions we personally have with the police are eye-opening experiences. We see the police state on TV and we know its disproportionate impact on people of color, but the totalitarian State of Fear actually applies to each and every one of us. Say or do the 'wrong' thing and your life can change for ever.
Their jack-booted thuggery is just a moment away at any time.
Oh, yes - "Walk softer."

I am meekly off to bed at the crack of 10 pm.
