[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh let's see.

When I was a kid the delinquent boys next door used to light aerosol cans on fire and shoot the fireballs at our roof. We had cedar shingles. Not great. All kinds of dangerous driving and drugs. One eventually set fire to their basement and they had to move out.

When we had a preschooler in a condo a newlywed couple moved in below us. The guy was in a MFA writing program and would spend all day writing what I am sure he thought was The Next Great American Novel. He complained constantly during the day that our child made noise and it was impossible for him to work. Our chid was not noisy or stompy and half the time not even home. But also these condos were two floors each so he could have moved downstairs (1200 sf, two adults, plenty of rooms) if it was so important. He chose to come up to our condo and knock fairly frequently, and would creepily peer into the house at empty space or MY CHILD. One time our kid was actually having a tantrum, a very bad, rare tantrum (our child didn't have tantrums, but he was hurt or sick or something). I knew the neighbor was going to complain and sure enough he came up and was just an absolute jerk in the face me of me having a very bad and sad mom moment. I lost it on him, called my husband, and my husband came home and went down to tell the neighbor off. [b]In the end the neighbor complained to the condo association that we didn't have 80% rug coverage and he was right, [/b]so we had to spend money on rugs when that really wasn't an ideal time to spend the money but we did. We moved a few months later. Found out he started complaining about the kid across the hall, saying it wasn't our kid making noise after all...which, yeah, I know that. I saw him walking his new baby about a year later and though I don't want to be a jerk I hope that baby gave him absolute HELL. [/quote]

Looks like you were the problem. That’s why he heard everything. If you had followed the rules and had rugs, there likely wouldn’t have been an issue. [/quote]
