What Are My Neighbors In St. Cloud Doing?

If you’ve ever lived in an Apartment Community, you know you’ve got to have a “give and take” philosophy as far as your neighbors go. You’ll hear them, they’ll hear you, but most people try to be mindful of what they do and how they do it, so they do not impact their neighbors.

If you’ve ever lived underneath someone, you know what I mean. Depending on how well your building was built, sometimes you hear things you really don’t want to hear. 

My wife and I live on the third floor, which is the top level of our apartment building. We try to not drop things or slam doors because we know there are people underneath us and right beside us. Again, sharing the space responsibly.  

The folks who live underneath us, however, apparently didn’t get the memo of trying to NOT create major noises so their neighbors won’t be disturbed.  

Remember, they live underneath us, but we’re the ones that have the pictures on our walls move and bounce from the “thuds”, and “pounds” we hear.  

So, I’ve been pondering, what the #*%# are they doing down there? Here’s what has crossed my mind. 

 A Black-Market Bowling Alley- 

We will hear stretches of “thud”, pause and then “thud” again. Almost like someone is waiting for their bowling ball to be returned. I get it, everything is costing more, and making extra money running a black-market bowling alley might be a good idea, if it were placed somewhere else.  

Off Books Stunt Man Training Classes- 

Between the “crashes” and the “thunderous, picture shaking thuds”, my mind envisions someone practicing falling from a building, and jumping from a runaway train.  

I guess the cost of space to practice these things has gone up too, and finding a place that will allow these types of things on any day that ends in “y” is a big ask right now. 

Professional Wrestling Training School- 

The popularity of Pro Wrestling is probably at an all-time high, more and more people want to get into the sport to be the next star. Just a quick google search shows that some of these types of schools can be a bit pricey. Maybe my neighbor is just trying to offer a less expensive alternative to those who want to chase the wrestling dream.  

Other things that have crossed my mind include: 

“How to effectively dive out of the way of an explosive device” 

“Demonstrating What It Sounds Like Inside a Race Car When They Crash” (sometimes that immolate what it sounds like when the car rolls over 14 times too) 

“Simulating What King Kongs Stomach Sounds Like When It Growls” 

 Now, for those who think I shouldn’t discuss these types of things publicly, I say this; Stomping and jumping up and down on the floor hasn’t worked yet.  

I’m hoping this public decree will work. Because my next option is renting a sky writing plane, and that costs a whole lot more than writing this story.
