I am not posting this to be mean to people with Down Syndrome or any other kinds of problems, I am just posting a funny story. My cousin has down syndrome, If I told stories about him they would not be to make fun of him either.

So, I have this neighbor above me, and he makes so much noise when he walks, I thought he must be like 500+ pounds, because no one has steps that are that heavy. It didn't bother me because he did it during the day, but a few weeks ago he was doing it a 2:30 am

So when he was stomping around at 2:30 am I was trying to sleep and I got pissed, so I went up to his apartment and knocked on the door. When he answered he wasn't fat, but he did look a little like a "special" person. And he was standing in his apartment, and he answered the door. I said "Why are you being so loud?" and he said "My cat threw up" and I didn't even see a cat, so I was just like "Ok, this guy is a crazy person".

But since then I have thought about it and I don't think he is crazy. He stomps every time he hears me make noise down here, and he looked "special" so I am pretty sure he is mentally handi-capped. So now I just listen to the stomping and laugh and wonder what he thinks he is accomplishing my making noise over my head while I have headphones on and it's day time.

When you were at his front door, did you peek inside his apartment to see if a BFL invoice for a Monarch was readily visible? That would explain away the stomping at all hours of the day.  Grin
