Dude...what in the world are you DOING?

[Papazita]

My neighbor... 20-something, unemployed and on disability (he "hurt" his back), and rarely leaves his apartment. Nor does he have people over.
I don't know what this guy does all day, but from what it sounds like, today is "Take shower. Beat floor with hammer. Take shower. Beat ceiling with hammer. Take shower. Vacuum carpet. Beat vacuum cleaner with hammer. Take shower. Yell at the tv. Beat tv with vacuum cleaner. Tap dance. Take shower. Beat floor with hammer. Take shower."

Dude... what in God's name are you doing?

[Selta]

Go over and ask.

[LaklandBass]

arent neighbors the best? Mine are some friendly european 20 somethings that play europop music at high levels every night.

Which is awesome because I dont feel about about playing my bass or stereo as loud as I want.

I did that once. He didn't say; just let me know that sometimes he can hear me cough in the morning.

Strange guy.

You may have a psycho on your hands. Neighbors can make for fun/weird/interesting situations, but i am currently living in an apartment without neighbors, and i prefer this. You dont have to worry about moving furniture at 4am if you want etc.

i imagine some creepy movie about a guy who's sure he's infested with little bugs , creeping under his skin .

he would clean house , vacuum rugs , take really really hot showers to clean off the bugs he's managed to kill .

kill any bugs that happen to show themselves by any means possible , { stomping them being his favorite past time }.

spray Lysol and other disinfectants at all hours of the night , pick at invisible crawling biting bugs ,
and scream at the TV set for not reporting on the creeping infestation he called them about ...

Well, now we know what your days are like

If you can't tell, you'll usually regret asking. He might just tell you what he's doing--and then what? Do you really want to know?

He's tweaking.

LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking. Meth-head behavior.

As were the characters in this movie...

[UncleFluffy]

My downstairs neighbours have occasional screaming matches at 3am. I'm so tempted to record them and leave a CD of their fights taped to their door.

[Horny Toad]

Sounds like he's hiding the bodies.

No...according to one kid in the neighborhood, that's my job.

I have a job, and a life outside of the job that doesn't include sitting outside all day drinking. For some reason, that makes me one of the "weird" people in the neighborhood.

[bongomania]

I used to live downstairs from a whole family like that. A mom and dad in their 40's, a teenage daughter, and various young men that could have been their sons, dealers, customers, johns, or who knows what. The young men were just "menacing", they didn't do anything particularly bizarre--but the mom, dad, and daughter were tweaker nut jobs of the highest order. Same type of stuff as described in the OP--hammering on floor, showering all the time, moving furniture late at night every night, screaming randomly, fighting... One day the dad tried to set my apartment (right downstairs from his) on fire, by pouring kerosene out his window onto our wall, and lighting it. Even though his effort failed miserably, just scorching some paint and some pavement, I think that was when I decided to move out.
