I believe it! I am surrounded by retirement-age non-workers, one who is an alcoholic, one with severe medical condition, a practically non-verbal who lives like a hobo—oh, and one does resent having to work part-time, and let’s you know it. The first one will go nuts and scream his head off all night and has been arrested so many times they know him by name. The next just bought a rolling chair and likes to roll around his apartment, the next wakes up all hours during the night and is constantly moving his milk crates and lawn furniture and dropping things that roll (these two live above me) and the last stomps around the building and can be heard at 0400 in the morning whining about her life and talking $#!t about everything and everyone. Fracking Miserable people who spread misery. I mentioned to the people above me and the one denies he rides the chair and then uses his medical condition as an excuse. The other said flatly, “too bad”.

> one with severe medical condition... bought a rolling chair and likes to roll around his apartment [all hours during the night]... denies he rides the chair and then uses his medical condition as an excuse I mean... is his medical condition related to his ability to walk and sleep well? E.g., does he: 1. have trouble walking 2. can't afford a wheelchair 3. has continence issues? That would explain rolling around at all hours of the night. And sourcing him some cheap/free mats/carpets to cover the floor between his bed and bathroom could help you sleep better. In any case... sorry you have to put up with that. Having noisy upstairs neighbors sucks.

  In this case, the rolling guy does lay off after 2200h. It’s the hobo who is over my bedroom and makes noise at all hours. But that said, you’re right. A friend commented I should have bought the hobo a pair of slippers as a house warming gift. I will totally do this next time someone moves in above.
