I'm going to have to knock on their door and talk to them, but I will bring along the building manager as witness. Can I call cops on them if they smoke pot too?
lol, PM me the address. That might be me.

I can’t stand loud people above me either; I travel for work so I spend more time in hotels than my own house. I take a basketball with me everywhere, so every time I get woken up at 2 or 3 am I take the basketball and throw it at the ceiling constantly until they shut up.

Better not be.......... not good for RS image.

I think a good stare down......... then take it elsewhere if the staring contest doesn't resolve anything. I think they should go to the bar and buy each other drinks.

How about arm wrestling?

Sumo wrestling?

I can referee the match. Winner gets Saucywoman and loser gets Ulic. JK, jk.......

Pharmaceutical companies would then be threatened. (ie: Tylenol, Asprin, etc) And they are a big backer for many election candidates.

This is counterproductive at most homes. Majority of homes/condos/apartments have a stucco like material on the ceiling that'll create a mess on your floors/bed/furniture if you do that.

Are you sure this is not a lie in an vain attempt of witt?

Because seriously, who packs a basketball around in their travels? It's just ergonomically inefficient.

Im dead seriuos, I drive everywhere I go though so I just leave it in the car. Im in alaska right now so I started bringing a basketball so I would have something to do when im not working other than sit on revscene and fb.

It does sometimes backfire with drunk people that start stomping back and think its a game of some sort.

Thank you all for your comments!

Noise wise it's "understandable" before midnight, if they're gonna party or whatever since it is summer time, but not after 11. It is not just foot steps, but occasional bang that shook my walls and lights. I don't know if someone jumped or whatever.

Pot wise I wouldn't go as far as to say it's "very disturbing", besides it was only once and I can't be 100% sure that it is from upstairs. However I AM 110% sure it's not downstairs cuz my dad lives there. Long story. It is less than pleasant for my family; it don't smell like exotic perfume or febreze either.

I'm UBER-BUSY until next Monday. I will "greet" them appropriately next week. I've already mentioned it to my building manager and landlord. I will go personally but will first inform the manager, just in case the occupant lash-out or something, hope not!

LOL SERIOUS?! I know someone else from RS lives in the same building as me, cuz I think I've seen him in one of the meet's photos. A guy in glasses and short hair, drives a silver civic with clarion deck and a Garage Five sticker on right rear window. He parks right beside my camry.

The Lantern on Genest Way in Coquitlam. Who else is here?
