It's a nice, subtle thing about apartment living. Hearing other people go about their business.
Oh, there could certainly be downsides. If you're trying to get to sleep and there's truly incessant noise, that can be aggravating. But even at 2AM, the isolated bump here, floorboard squeak there is kind of a comfort. It reminds you that there are other people in the vicinity, fallible like you, but alive like you.

I agree it's nice to know there are neighbors nearby. We're lucky not to have anyone living above us since that can be a problem, but overall the people in our building are nice and fairly quiet.
I was just wondering if you've ever come across the Scarfolk Council? When it comes to weird neighbors these guys have it covered.
Glad to know you have pleasant neighbors. I tend to like mine, some more than others. The real wackos don't last too long, it seems.
The Scarfolk Council is new to me. Apparently it's quite a phenom, though, in terms of having an internet following. I'm intrigued. Hauntology is an interesting concept, and they have some funny graphics.
