In an apartment building you get to hear sounds not heard anywhere else in the world.
Lucky us.
Sometimes it sounds like someone is building an airport in their rooms. I have no idea what they are doing. I don’t want to know.
Many years ago, several times a week, a loud metallic banging echoed through our apartments. A few boisterous clangs and it would stop. This went on for over a year. No one could figure out where it was coming from, or what it was.
Eventually, the superintendent, with the aid of several office workers found the culprit.
Culprits.
A married couple were banging on the heating registers with metal pipes. No, not to clear air out of them. This is not the 1930’s. And they were doing it when it was 90 degrees out.
WHY?
God only knows. For fun I guess.
Life is very strange.
