Sometimes I sweep the floor in the stairwell of our apartment block as it's always great to live in clean surroundings. Yesterday I saw one of my neighbors in the elevator, and he asked me, "Is it you that sweeps up in the hallway?" I immediately thought that he wanted to simply say thanks, but instead he came out with this: "Please don't move the carpets. It really irritates me when they don't lie flat."
I always hear a child's voice coming from the apartment above me. It shouts, "Nah nah, take that!" and these words are followed by a cat meowing. One day, I couldn't restrain myself any longer, and so I went upstairs and told them, "Don't abuse your pet. I'll make a complaint." It was at this moment that I heard that well-known child's cry, "Nah..." The mother was standing in the door and said to me, "Go take a look and see what's happening for yourself." She led me to the kitchen. What did I see? The little one was putting some cat food in a bowl, and the cat meowed in gratitude. Neighbors are weird.
