Tell your entertaining neighbor stories here.

[Rain Man]

When I lived in St. Louis, my apartment neighbors upstairs left for an evening, and they brought in a babysitter. (I didn't even know they had a baby, so it must have been a quiet one.)

So I'm sitting in my apartment, and all of a sudden I heard this enormous thud from upstairs, which was quite startling. My initial theory was that the babysitter had dropped a large TV or something.

About two hours later, someone came into the building and started banging on the door upstairs. It was quite insistent, and about the time that I decided to call the police, the police actually showed up. There was a big to-do, and an ambulance showed up and stuff, and I had no idea what was happening.

When the neighbors came home, I told them what was going on, and they said that the babysitter had a heart condition and had collapsed (big thump). Since her parents knew about the heart condition, they called to check on her hourly, and when she didn't answer the phone, they came over and tried to get in (banging on the door). I never heard what happened to the girl.
