    We live on the top, third level, of a cheaply built 60s building with a ground floor unit two levels below us.

    A few years ago, a new ground floor owner ripped up the carpet to find, whack-o, a parquet floor in terrific condition! (Guess why it had been carpeted over.) This floor sounded terrific underfoot to her, prancing around in her high heels at all hours, talking loudly with her hands-free phone blue-toothed to her heard.

    We could hear and feel her clomp, clomp, clomp, rat tat tat as well as her side of her inane phone conversations very clearly indeed, two floors above. And wouldn't you know it, requests from all her neighbours for her to tone things down and show a bit more consideration were met with replies like “Get a life” and much worse as time wore on.

    Eventually, when another resident blew his cool and made threats, she actually got some rugs, mats and wall hangings and did tone things down… and we all lived happily ever after, comparatively.
