Just got someone moved above my unit.

He walks like an elephant. Stomps very loud. And he sleeps late really late.

So I intercom the dude, he lighten his steps but still loud.

Complained to the maintenance office and even guards, he stopped for awhile.

Peace n Quiet. Then after some months later, something triggered this fella, started stomping again.

Every time I complain to guards, he would stop for awhile, then he suddenly stomp again.

When asked the guard, he told the guard he didn't do it, act innocent.

Now is like purposefully.

Everytime I complain to the Maintenance office, he would purposely stomp even more.

Very late at night.

1) SO now what is my solution ? report to polis ? but after 2 or 3 rounds, polis would just get bored of coming.
2) LOD ? But so hard to record evidence, the fella do it randomly, and lousy handphone can't record his elephant footsteps, is there some kind of technology capable of recording foot stomp ?
3) The management is so bad, and totally don't even bother to handle the situation. Even the guards are useless, they been given instruction not to bother residents after midnight.
4) Committee ? very political. don't even bother.
5) Talk to him ? done it before but not face to face. I don't want him to recognize my face, because afterward I travel in the lift with my family, i want some safety. Myself is ok, but I want to protect my family
6) Install thumper ? sounds tempting....where to get ?
7) Move out ? Can't do it yet, financial issue.....I plan to buy highest unit condo next time, or house...but moment can;t afford
8) next time maybe will rent out, this place, regret, took loan and bought it.
9) Report to Commissioner of building ?

A friend of mine who owns a few condo mgmt businesses, advice me to go all out...what do u think ?
I think talking nicely to this upstair fella no use, he seem to be delibrately doing it

really hate how our condos are constructed. Also looking at the political and unsupportive committee as well as armless mgmt office, mind as well move out. But as said already bought property under loan, so how ?

Fight fire with fire, pay some money to the resident above him, install an automated thumper to annoy him when he going to bed

loud foot step is not a crime, but loud music after 11 pm is a crime. It's kinda too bad.

If he memang walk like that what to do?

Where to get thumper ?

Pay resident abpve him...is bad idea...

nanti resident above him, betray and share this info...mampus me.

Google those toy or prank websites lor

U buddy2 with that guy upstairs la

It is abnormal, as if deliberately

1. get earplug even cheapo ones from Mr DIY works very well trust me.
2. get out of there

Buy active noise-cancelling headphone

Just ignore him. Eventually he will get tired of walking abnormally and stop doing it.

If you keep reporting him he will keep doing it to annoy you and he knows you can't do anything about it.

beli long broom thump back muthafukaaa

Santau.

Use ANC earbud for sleep. And move out when possible

Gosh, really have such device ah.

as some said before in some other threads, sometimes the culprit could be someone a few floors above instead of directly above you.

Broken fibula is a great behavior modification tool. Serious.

Could it be because of his size and weight that he walks that way.

Honestly, I dont think anyone will do it on purpose to disturb the neighbours.

Give him a treat instead. IF there's sewage pvc pipe with removable cap in your toilet's ceiling, unscrew it, stuff it tight with bubble wrap. Very soon, sh1t will be flooding all over like there's no tomorrow.

that would make it worse.. like a few hippos clearing their blocked ears.. so after shower, jumpjumpjump...

When he first moved in he didn't know you so he had no reason to annoy you. He is a heavy guy who walks heavily which is normal for him. After you complained and reported him he moderated for a while but eventually went back to his normal way of walking. Then you complained some more and he got annoyed and is now purposely annoying you.

In apartment living you need to compromise. You cannot expect him to tip toe around in his own home. To him he was being harassed for behaving normally so he's angry. Stop complaining and reporting him and he will eventually stop actively annoying you. If you still can't stand the way he walks there is no cure other than to move out. You can't expect him to change the way he walks just for you.
