I just moved into an apartment.....on the first floor - with a lovely family living above me, I'm sure. The only problem is that it sounds like a freaking herd of elephants moving around up there.....so loud that at times I jump for fear that my ceiling is caving in. I have even witnessed ceiling dust floating to the floor when one of the parents must have body slammed their children into the ground. It makes me want to march up the stairs and just ream these people...not b/c I'm worried they are beating their children but b/c I am worried about my sanity. Every 30 seconds.....to hear these noises....and I'm not exaggerating either....is enough to send anyone to an insane asylum. I also find myself counting to 10 to see if I'm still mad - and usually I am, but have just given myself another 10 seconds to count...and then another and then another.....and by then I am worn out from counting to 10 a million times. But seriously, how do I handle this? Do I complain? Do I want to be "that" lady?

No, please don't be "that" lady.
I'm totally THAT girl. My upstairs neighbors do the same thing only they have stairs in their apartment and a dog that runs back and forth across the room. One time he had family come and visit and I swear this girl threw all of her suitcases down the stairs to get them down. I went up there and told them they were knocking pictures off of my walls with the running and jumping and throwing. They are actually REALLY quiet now. Another thing you can tell them is that you have a boyfriend or husband that works nights and sleeps during the day so you would appreciate if they could just be aware and try and keep it down as much as possible. In the future, try for a townhome, condo, an upper level, or corner apartment. Not only do you have people living upstairs but also on both sides of you. Wait till the music with the bass starts! You're gonna DIE!!!
