They’re lucky they’re not the downstairs neighbors of a South Beach stripper in an Art Deco bare-floored building off of Flamingo Park. THAT was not fun…surprisingly enough.
Incredible! As a fellow many-small-noisy-apartment-dweller myself, you know as well as I do that you simply . . . get used to whatever noises are happening. And maybe call the police if it sounds like murder. But other than that, let people live! (I fear my dog barking will one day cause chaos, but so far, no letters from neighbors . . . )
This is wonderful. It takes me back to many apartments and their quirks and noises. Wouldn't mind hearing about any response from Michael and Lee. Ha! Thanks for sharing.
I would have invited the neighbor to the party...grumpy people are usually sad people who have miserable lives...that neighbor probably doesn’t have a social life or friends and being invited to the party would have made him or her happy...or not, but then he/she would have been the bad guy beating herself up...
Eve, this is so good! When we lived in New York City, our downstairs neighbor would always leave passive aggressive notes about sound and one time even came up and gave us those felt pads for our furniture legs (all of which were on a carpet, so how she heard scraping was beyond me!). Ahhh, city living...
Please submit this to the New Yorker
You are much nicer than I am
As I was reading this, I was imagining Lee and Michael as Mr. Heckles from FRIENDS 😂
More letters pls

Oh trust me! If I hear from them again this will become a recurring feature 😂
So good!
Amazing

I seriously considered it!!! “Come up for a drink!” Hahaha
This relatable rant made my morning! 😂 crotchety neighbors really are the best aren’t they?
Eve, this was stupendous and hilarious and you're a brilliant writer!
Haha this was great! I use to be the downstairs neighbor too. Oh the stories I could write!

I agree with Lisa! Submit this and the other letters to the New Yorker!! Too good. Can't stop laughing ... "...my calves are not that strong."🤣
This is hilarious
