Mr. Heckles

Remember that crazy guy from FRIENDS who died while banging a broom on his ceiling because Monica and Rachel were "too loud"? Well his death was a myth. He is alive and well and occupies the apartment below us.About 2 weeks ago we had some friends over and around 10:30pm we heard a banging sound a few times. We didn't think anything of it really and moved on with our lives. Three days ago Aaron was walking to the front door to make sure it was locked before we went to bed. The banging sound happened again and this time i felt it in the floor of our bedroom. Aaron wasn't convinced that it was our downstairs neighbor banging the ceiling with a broom, but i was pretty convinced that the guy was pissed. Last night, Aaron went to check the locks again, and when he got back into our room we heard the banging noise SIX TIMES. Aaron decided to go downstairs and check to make sure everything was alright. Obviously if the guy is banging on our ceiling, something must be up. He never answered the door. We called our landlord to let him know what has been going on and we've been walking a little softer at night. But seriously, Mr. Heckles, cut it out.

I teach clarinet lessons in our apartment on Monday nights. Even though our apartments are very well insulated/soundproofed, I always brace myself for the day that my neighbor decides to bang on his ceiling. Ha. We're buying a house this summer, though!

We have neighbors like this too - dang Mr. Heckles! Kara, it's good to hear from you and it's always fun to have new blogs to read! Congratulations on the pregnancy!

Oh I am SO sorry! I can totally empathize with you! I hated living in an apartment for that very reason! And good for Aaron for going down and knocking! I was always too chicken!
