Hey Pandas, Who Is Obviously The Dumb Neighbor?
I haven't found a single bad neighbor since I moved about two years ago, but before that, there was a brief period when a weird old guy temporarily moved into the apartment below mine while there were excessive renovations done in his. First it was only annoying that he was watching TV until the middle of the night with the volume blasting through my floor, but I got along with that and just avoided him. I'm not sure if he was retired already or maybe on some social benefits for a condition that prevented him from working or whatever, but anyway he was home all day and so from time to time he accepted some of my packages and I had to go get them from him. Aside from the fact that his apartment smelled like a landfill (he obviously didn't take care of his personal hygiene and years later I heard from a gossipy neighbor that he also was a hoarder), he was obsessed with the water lines in his bathroom that allegedly would bang loudly any time someone in the building would use water. Every time I talked to him, he added another bit to his plot. That he had talked to the neighbors above me and they wouldn't listen, that he had talked to the building manager and he wouldn't be interested either, and so on. Finally he became convinced that it had to be a flushing toilet, and since there were to sides with separate water lines in the building, it had to be mine or my neighbor's above me. Because up until that point the guy had not really done any harm aside from not showering and turning up the TV too loud, I didn't see a reason to be offensive and so I always just thanked him kindly for accepting my mail, made my portion of smalltalk and tried to politely communicate a subtle lack of interest in his water line shenanigans. But one day I finally had enough when he suggested he would write the times when he heard the bangig sound and I should write an according protocol of when I flush my toilet and then we could compare to see if my toilet was causing the noise. First I thought I wasn't hearing right and after a second of processing I told him he must be out of his mind if he thought I would write a pee pee poo poo diary and share it with him. Finally asked him not to accept any more packages adressed to me and that was the last time I spoke to him.
