Dear People that Live Upstairs:

Clearly, being a clean person is something I can appreciate.  Especially living in an apartment, I too take great care to ensure my carpets are not disgusting.

HOWEVER, the vacuuming has GOT TO STOP.  Three times a week... no problem.  However, multiple times a day is going to send me over the edge.  I've counted so far today - three times.  THREE TIMES.  What in the world would cause you to need to vacuum your entire apartment three times in one day????  If you weren't aware - that powerful suction machine is oh so loud right below you.  How can you step so softly, yet vacuum like a maniac? 

Please stop. Please Please Please Please stop.  Enjoy your Saturday, or if you can't do that - just start dusting. 

Thanks.

~Your lovely, and oh-so-patient, downstairs neighbor.

Wow, 3 times, who does that??  I have no idea what the neighbor above me does, he may be a pimp..  It's a single male with numerous women coming in and out at all hours of the day/night.  And, late at night or the wee hours of the morning I hear the bed hitting the wall followed by loud banging noises all through the house (that sound like someone is destroying the house) and one sound that sounds like a bowling bowl being rolled across the floor.  Then, after all that noise, he vacuums.  We've complained, the apartment has done nothing, so we just gave up.

might there big kids upstairs? sometimes they are messy...

It would suck to hear all day though.

Maybe they got rid of their Christmas tree and broke an ornament keep finding dry needles? That's the only reason I can think of to vacuum so many times without being crazy...

Hmmmm. This is a very good idea - and I think I'll go with this and give them the benefit of the doubt.  I never even thought of this.

My thought was Christmas tree -- lets hope there's no repeating of the behavior for another year!
