Flaws in my home...

One of the biggest flaws of living on the second floor of a three floor building, is that you have to deal with the noice the people make right above you. I'm sure it's probably worse if you live on the first floor, but I can only speak for myself. Everynight, at probably around 6 in the morning or so, there is always a baby crying or something going on. When they begin to cry, that means they don't stop. And, did I mention they just got wooden flooring too? So, yeah, as you attempt to sleep you hear a THUMP THUMP PATTER PATTER! It's something we've all become accustomed to over the years so it's nothing special, but nontheless it is annoying as hell! I'm been waiting for my dad to go up there and just start yelling at them to keep it down, but that has yet to happen.

Almost a year ago now, the family upstairs planned on moving out of the apartment so they could have more space for the kids to run around. But that didn't end up happening. For one thing, no one could afford the price they were selling it for and eventually they didn't find the place they wanted to move to, so they came back. For some time I was surprised when I didn't hear any thumping going on, but lo and behold, it's back with a vengeance. My mom told me the other day that the wife of the couple upstairs actually said to her, "You know, our kids can hear you flush the toilet in the middle of the night and it wakes them up." Now, I'm sure she didn't say it like that, because if she did I guarantee you my mom would be all, "Well, every morning at 6am I hear your kids running throughout the house without a care in the world, and you obviously don't do anything about it." That would be so funny because it would be such a slap in the face. For one thing, if she thinks that we're not going to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, then she has another thing coming. Tonight, I'm going to take a shower just to see what the women says upstairs haha!

But yeah, back to the main point of this blog...the flaws. In addition to that flaw, there is also a flaw of having the freedom one would have when living in a house. For example, there's no back door in an apartment, unless you want to get a rope and climb down the balcany, which I wouldn't recommend doing. Also, if someone is smoking on any floor...damn can you smell it! Especially in the elevator!
