good morning it is mojo in the morning nice to have you with us megan wants to send a gift to her neighbor but wants to ask you guys a question you guys meaning the listener who's checking us out right now in your car or at your sink brushing your teeth or i don't know what else are you doing maybe laying in bed kind of thinking about going up getting up and going to uh to work or possibly going to bed who knows what's up maggie so i'm a very

non-confrontational person and i am thinking about different ways to confront the person who lives above me while still making it like funny and maybe not so much like they're going to make my life even worse than it currently is because the person who lives upstairs and I live in a great building I love my building I never really hear people's I've never heard anybody else's television their music anything um I know that we have like a rooftop where people party and that never bothers me but the person who lives above me is constantly stomping around only at 10 o'clock or later with their super flat feet they got little little duck flappers up there that are just flapping around on the tile and smacking around and i'm losing my mind so i thought the best way to handle this to be funny while also kind of sending a message and hopefully not pissing them off too much is to uh i know their address obviously and i know their unit number it's just one floor above mine send them some slippers with like a note on amazon that's like hey i'd really appreciate if you get

Footsteps a little quieter after 10 p.m., I can tell where they are in their apartment. It's driving me nuts.

You can follow them? Yes. Along the ceiling line?

And I know when they've gone into a bedroom because it stops because those are the only carpeted areas of our apartments.

And you live in an old school apartment that's got like probably concrete floors. This person is probably still walking very hard.

It's concrete and tile. So the fact that I can hear it means the flat feet be slapping real hard. Real hard. And I can hear the heel versus the toes. Yeah. It's driving me nuts. Is that funny or is that just going to make everything work?

I don't know. I actually kind of think it is funny, but I think you've got to send them, what were you going to say? Slippers? Yes. Send them elephant slippers. As a more passive-aggressive form of, hello, Mr. Elephant. I feel like if I

tell management i've drawn a line in the sand and that's just going to make things worse and if you leave a note i feel like that comes off as so rude but if somebody sent me like a funny gift and being like hey this is really starting to bother me can we not it's like i avoided all

management i think that's better than like pounding on the ceiling or doing that are you

able to receive as good as good as you can take it though i mean you know what i'm saying if they He sent you some earmuffs and said, bitch, too. Is it going to be funny?

I would appreciate that more than my management saying we've had a noise complaint filed against you. And if you get another one, you'll be evicted.

Unfortunately, I think if they have flat feet and they're stomping, the slippers aren't going to do anything.

Do you know what I mean?

Can we be more aware? Right. Maybe that will make them aware that they are very hard in their walking.

And unfortunately, I think that's apartment living, though.

It is. I totally get that. It really, really is. You're telling me I've never heard another person's music or television, but I can hear your footsteps only at 10 o'clock at night and later?

Some people just can't help the way that they walk. And I'm going to be honest with you. I felt personally. I knew you would. I was sitting over here quiet like, I'm not going to engage. The moment she said flat feet and then added steroids to it and said duck flappers, I was like, I'm checked out.

No, no. They're like little, little. You know how the ducts spread out so that they can balance those huge bodies with their tiny little legs? That's this person's feet.

You have not seen this person, right? Not really what they look like. Wouldn't it be funny if it's just a little teeny person? You're like, what the hell is that all about?

It's funny because it has affected me in such a way where in the morning, I literally tiptoe around my apartment. I don't put my shoes on until I get to the door so that I'm not walking around with shoes on. I'm so aware of the person who lives below me because of this person's footsteps. And it's only footsteps.

Hi, Kylie. What's up?

Hi. I say period. Do it. Just send it. And if they don't share the same humor, then just shame them over the radio. It's fine. Use the job for evil.

Send this podcast to them as a form of, hey, guess who lives underneath you? I'm talking about you right now. Have you lived in an apartment, Kylie?

Yes. Yeah. I lived in a couple apartments. Even when I was a kid, I grew up in apartments, and my mom had to get me used to walking, like, lighter.

Yeah, yeah, you can't run to the bathroom in the middle of the night or late at night. You can't be, like, you know, goofing around and stuff like that. It's funny, same thing. Chelsea used to do that with me when we lived in an apartment. She would always go, you realize that people below us right now are dying with my boom, boom, boom, boom, boom sound? And I always felt like I was just being fat shamed. That was just pure fat.

Honestly, it's so annoying, though. Like, having to mind the way that you walk, having to walk gently, it's not a way to live.

Karen has a better gift than the slippers. What's that, Karen?

I was just going to say, just send a nice area rug.

Oh, that's cheap. Yeah.

Shannon, you've been to my apartment. How many rugs in the hallway would I need to get for that long-ass hallway?

It would be very, very expensive, and you'd need a huge one for your living space.

What's the biggest area, though? Is it right over your bedroom? No, it's your living area.

But the one where I really hear the slapping, and it is crazy, is the hallway. Like, I can hear them going to the bathroom. I can hear them going to their kitchen and back to their bedroom, and I know where they are.

What would you rather, though? Would you rather them just be walking around, getting their steps, or would you rather...

Honestly, I think the bed banging on the wall would last a shorter amount of time.

Well, that's true. I never thought about that.

So that.

Jay, what's up? Hi. Megan's got a problem with a loud neighbor above.

So.

I lived in Brooklyn for five years, and the only issue that we had was a kid that they would allow to run up and down this three-hour building. Well, man, it started at 11.30 and would go until 3 in the morning. We didn't understand why, but we tried talking. I was going to say this. The only real true way, the best way, I feel like, is face-to-face. Go knock on their door, introduce yourself, have the conversation there. um otherwise and come off as passive-aggressive you know you don't know how this guy's gonna take it but um i was sorry that's coming to a stop here um yeah i feel like the only true way to solve the issue is to really get that top floor apartment i know you think i can afford that

that's funny i live on the bottom floor because that's what i can afford i'd love to know if is there apartment below you there's one below me and a bunch above me do they hear the pitter patter of coralline's feet no uh i dude if they hear a five pound dog's pitter patter then that

place isn't built right yeah then that place is not meant to be lived in i think that's what's

driving me psychotic is in my last apartment it was so croppily built that you could hear everything yeah tvs conversations cooking everything so the fact that this is the one thing it's like how

how is this getting through the sound barrier i would rather hear them walking like elephants than uh the smell of their food there's nothing the opposite the guy next to me

is from some sort of different culture and every time i walk to my apartment yeah i'm like please

invite me over let's have him cook curry and see how you feel about that after a while i'm pretty

sure that's what he's cooking oh really smells so good what's up ty

hi there first time caller long time hey there good morning hey so good morning i work at 5 a.m so when i get up at four to start getting ready for work i hear every step like every step i take it's a creek in the floor so i know that the person underneath me can hear every step I take and I just feel so bad every time. And it's carpet though. It's carpet. Yeah, the creaking

is tough. You can't do anything about a creak, right? No. Yeah, that's a tough one.

I just feel it's so bad. I'm about to say something that they're going to use against me for a long time. I have morning cracks that I wear around my apartment in the morning just to make sure. Really? Oh, just to make sure that I don't slap my feet at four in the morning. Wow. Great neighbor.

What's up, Amanda?

Hi. What if you can hear them having sex next door?

See, that would be awful. Have you heard that with your neighbors?

Yes, I did. I hear everything.

Oh, God. Is it good sex or bad sex? Because good sex you're okay with.

Oh. It sounds like they're having a good time to me.

David, you're the loud walking neighbor, huh?

Well, it was when we were deploying, we were in this barracks building, and we had a staff sergeant that was complaining all the time that someone upstairs was walking around thumping their feet in the middle of the night and didn't think anything of it. And then it turned out that he actually camped out one night and he caught me and ended up being me. And so then I was thinking out loud with regards to Megan that how does she know that the neighbors below her doesn't hear her walking around and is timid to address her?

Well, it could all be.

I would hope that they would tell me by sending me a gift of free sippers. Absolutely.

But make them Gucci.

I do have an idea because of the neighbor upstairs. I put rugs all in my hallway and I wear Crocs in the morning while I get ready.

Listen, she's putting Crocs on. You know that that's crazy.

I don't want to be the bothersome neighbor.

David, thank you for serving, buddy. Appreciate you, pal.

No, I appreciate it. Thank you.

All right. And Megan, thank you for the gift. I'm your neighbor. I always love it. By the way, I always love it.

Megan, she brings so much joy to the room every day. Well, more so when she leaves the room.

But hey, it all counts. This is Mojo in the Morning.
