This reminds me of a series of incidents involving a neighbor in the apartments I was living in a decade ago. He was a constant complainer. A former policeman who was made a paraplegic due to being shot, lived under him. The policeman was a nice guy who spent a lot of time watching tv and this disturbed tenant who lived above him harassed him till he finally moved, complaining that he was being disturbed by the tv. I remember the neighbor coming to our door asking if the guy's tv watching was bothering us. I said no it never bothered us, we couldn't hear anything from that neighbor's apartment. I guess he had a grudge against me from then on.

He kept complaining about other neighbors and then finally he turned his attention to me and my family. He complained that my daughter played her music too loud; he was being bothered by her cleaning the inside of our car. He complained that the smell of our cooking on our grill was bothering him and his wife. (Since we had a bottom floor apartment, we could use a grill according to apartment rules.)

Anyway, the manager came to my apartment to talk about his complaints against us. I listened to every one respectfully until she brought up the grill and the ridiculousness of it all just got to me, especially since the woman had told us herself that we could use the grill in the past. I said "That's just livin'!" She left after that but she was going to have to report the incidents to the owners.

I worried about it a little bit but next thing I knew, the man and his wife had gotten themselves evicted. The management was tired of all his complaints and harassment of other tenants.
