[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an upstairs neighbor who would run the roomba at midnight. On weekdays. :( I can't even tell you how angry it made me to be awakened out of a dead sleep by a roomba. [/quote]

My upstairs neighbors are most likely mentally unwell. Here is a typical vacuuming schedule for them: 10:00 PM, start vacuuming for the day for approx 1 hr. 11:30 PM vacuuming again for about 30 minutes. 1:00 AM vacuuming again for an hour.

These people are constantly vacuuming, very late at night and multiple times a week. [/quote]

OMG.  Are you me?  When I first moved to DC 20 years ago I lived in an apartment in a semi sketchy area - nothing too bad, just all I could afford.  Upstairs neighbor had seemed like a normal woman, but over time turned out she had some sort of mental breakdown.  She vacuumed ALL THE TIME.  Any hour of the day or night for at least a half hour at a time.  I complained to the management and they kept talking to her but they told me she had really lost it and believed there were spirits coming out of the walls and she was vacuuming them all up.

I started sleeping with a pillow over my head and all my friends constantly asked me about the "mad vacuumer."

Well, they finally decided to evict her and asked if I would testify and I agreed.  I received a summons and went to the courthouse on the appointed day, taking time off work to do so.  But I could't find where i needed to be and wandered around a lot looking, until I finally found someone to ask and she looked it up and said the case had been dismissed.  Thanks for telling me, apartment managers!  Anyway, got home and the poor woman had moved out.  Never heard anything more.

20 years later, I still sleep with a (light feather) pillow on my head.  It just became something I did and I like the cocoon feeling.   [/quote]

Well, it is unlikely her/him unless she moved to a nice area in Virginia. But she/he (haven't pinpointed who they are) likely does have a similar mental condition. I understand the toddler explanation, but not at late hours of the day. Especially if it is ONLY late hours of the night. Something weird is going on.[/quote]
