Mrs. Heckles

My roommate was laughing this morning. She was laughing because there was a broom by our night stands. (and when I say nightstands, I mean our plastic drawers. classy huh?)
The broom is there because we have some LOUD new neighbors upstairs.
They have been loud all week. At one point they got scary loud and we may or may not have made a call into the police.
I miss our old neighbors. We never met them but they were quiet. Except for a few times when we think they were..... ya know, doing it.
The new people walk around upstairs like they are really heavy people that stomp around instead of walk around.
So the broom. Do you remember Mr. Heckles from Friends? The cranky neighbor that lived below Monica and Rachael? I pulled a Mr. Heckles and pounded on the ceiling with my broom. It didn't give me the sound quality I was wanting because our broom is an Ikea special that is made out of plastic. Even though it was weak, it did sort of work for a minute.
I think I may need a new broom.

Just a random thought I had while reading this: if you are going to italicize anything in the phrase "...ya know, doing it", I feel like it should definitely be "doing":

"...ya know, doing it"

or maybe both:

"...ya know, doing it."

Just something to consider for future blogposts in which someone is...ya know, doing it

You do remember that they ended up killing old Mr. Heckles with their incessant broom hitting? but at least they had some peace and quiet after that :) lol

Heavy people are so inconsiderate.
