Once upon a time there was a girl named Brooke. She was very sleepy and wanted to go to bed. Her friend called her at about 9:30pm and they chatted for a little bit. During the course of this conversation Brooke could hear people gathering outside to move someone into the empty apartment below Brooke's apartment.
"Odd", thought Brooke, "that someone would move into an apartment at 10:30 at night...well...whatever...to each his own." As Brooke got ready for bed, the gathered group got louder and louder.
"hmmmm", thought Brooke, "I hope this noise doesn't last all night. It is after all, a Wednesday night, not a Friday or Saturday." As Brooke climbed into bed the noise continued. Without even straining her ear, or putting it up to the window she could CLEARLY hear the conversation of the people in the apartment below hers. She decided to watch a Netflix movie online to drown out the noise. Unfortunately that was a source of frustration, since every 15 minutes the streaming movie would stop and have to buffer again...whatever that means. This issue was due to the fact that her landlord had just got a new Internet service which he said was going to be better and faster....not so much
The movie eventually ended...it was about midnight and the people below were STILL chatting away and now smoking pot! REALLY?! In a non smoking apartment? UGH! During the course of all of this a few expletives may have left Brooke's mouth. Brooke finally put her headphones in and turned up the volume loud enough that she could not hear the folks downstairs, but it was so loud that it made it difficult to fall asleep.
Sometime between 12:30am and 1:00am Brooke FINALLY fell asleep...ONLY TO BE AWOKEN AT 3:50AM BY THE SAME DAMN NEW NEIGHBORS WHO WERE STILL LAUGHING AND TALKING AS LOUD AS THEY COULD!!! So Brooke put her headphones back in and turned up the volume and managed to fall back into sleep sometime between 5:00am and 5:30am.
This morning at 7:30am when Brooke's alarm went off she was not totally awake and thus turned off her alarm, unknowingly and woke up at 9:45 on her own.
the end.

do you want me to come over and regulate!?
that sounds like a blast and a half! i'm sorry, but i guess it won't be much longer...
I know people. I'll take care of this.
Boo!
But wait..."it won't be much longer..."?!? perchance an adventure on the horizon???
You should have left your house ...and left your alarm on as a little returned gift for your downstairs neighbors.
you're better than I. I'd probably have called the police on them.
