hitting the ceiling with both hands at once maybe?

I have a feeling it went along the lines of, "but wait there's more"

That's what she said.

That's no excuse for pounding on the ceiling. If OP was irritated with the neighbors, he should have been an adult, knocked on their door, and politely ask them to lower the noise level. Problem solved.

And if that didn't work, call the police with a noise complaint. OP needs to learn how to be an adult. YDI

Didn't even notice till I read the comments XD

I think it's probably less about energy and more about wanting to avoid confrontation.

True. It was foolish of me to assume that since OP could boldly pound holes into their ceiling to shut up their neighbors, they would also have the bravery to ask said neighbors to quiet down in person.

No! That makes too much sense.

That doesn't solve the holes in the ceiling. Just because someone is loud doesn't mean you punch holes into the ceiling.

Noooo shit! If he has a reason to go to the landlord or the police then he won't have to bang on anything anymore, because the neighbors would've stopped being so loud.
