The neighbors play bagpipes and sing "Can you feel the love tonight?" from The Lion King soundtrack at the top of their lungs at 3 am

The radiators NEVER go off...and the dumpster disappears for one weekend a month.

The neighbor across the bathroom window shaft-way likes to smoke out the window (hence smoking right in your bathroom
