Today, I'm at home sick and someone is moving into the apartment above ours. Judging by the sounds and level of noise, they seem to be opening some sort of woodworking shop. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after months of peace and quiet since January, a new family moved into the apartment below me ten minutes before I was about to go to sleep. They've been here for 30 minutes and already they're stomping and banging doors all over the place. FML
Today, and for the 4 months preceding it, my neighbors had been remodeling their house, which meant jackhammer noises every morning. The one day they take a break, my other neighbor decides to start a remodeling project. It'll only be two more months of this. FML
Today, they're jackhammering through concrete walls at my workplace in order to build an addition. I'm allowed to work from home… but I live right next to where they're jackhammering down a concrete garage. FML
Today, and for the past two weeks, the people living directly above me have decided to add rearranging their furniture to their daily routines. Not only that but apparently, 6 a.m. is the most optimal time for them. FML
Today, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML
Today, I moved into my brand new apartment, only to discover that there is an annoying, constant hum coming from the ceiling above my bed. FML
Today, it's the third day I've been at home recuperating from ear surgery. My surgery was on the same day my neighbor started renovating. There's been hours of jack-hammering every day I've been home. FML
Today, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML
Today, I learned that the gong my job installed less than 30 feet from my desk is being moved, due to noise complaints. To the office building I'm moving to in a few weeks. FML
Today, I found out that there's a very loud and frisky couple living above my bedroom, and a family with a crying baby living above my living room. At this rate, I'll end up sleeping in the bathtub in my own home. FML

The people above me are either training for the summer Olympics or having circus tryouts... EVERY DAY. I feel your pain, sorry mate.

Well my best guess is they're moving in so there will be lots of loud noise for the day.

Could be a woodworking shop or it could be a medieval torture chamber updated with power tools. You will soon be treated to the scent of fresh sawdust, or assaulted with shrieks and the stench of dismembered hobos.

Or clandestine meth lab and they happen to be smoking it too

they're probably just putting in carpet which involves lots of hammering. . . . . but I do kinda hope it's a meth lab :-)

I remember being sick and people were drilling in the concrete wall exactly next to my head, the lvl of noise was so unbearable. I stayed with my parents till I got better again. Maybe you should to.

Can you take something, like the end of a broom, and use it to bang on the ceiling? I know that doing that will make more noise but I've seen people bang on their ceilings when they want someone above them to shut up.

I put up a wood shop in my condo above some neighbors once. They never complained.

My upstairs neighbors seem to be running a zoo.
