on 12/22/2008 That's what my neighbor in house had been doing. He wasn't even supposed to be there, quite a mess. I finally called police and he was taken out - but landlady afraid of police. The girl then was taken away by police for banging on my door. They know you can hear it.

on 8/14/2008 This reminds me of the man above me in the hotel in April, instid of headbanging the headboard, he was screaming and cussing at his wife over the phone all night. I should have called someone, but I could hardly laugh about it. Adorable article though.

on 7/24/2008 We learned about this when it actually ahppened to a friend in my building!

We were cracking up because the building manager said we had to 'put something in writing' before they could bring the issue up to the noisemakers!
