3 of us, New York apartment dwellers, were describing our neighbors.
One said – my upstairs neighbors, a middle aged couple with 2 teenage kids, host karaoke every other night!
Another said – my upstairs neighbors have 4 toddlers who, at 11 pm, run across the apartment, throw the heaviest book on the floor, jump and then repeat!
Finally, I said – my neighbor is a noise police. He knocks and bangs on everyone’s door if there is a tiny bit of noise.
As everyone looked at me in silence, I added, “I let him do the dirty work and enjoy the peace.”
