Upstairs, Downstairs, and Downright Deranged

Imagine living above Carl, Cheryl, and their son Damien, who terrorize their upstairs neighbor with late-night DIY projects, stolen scrap metal dealings, and a seemingly endless supply of overflowing garbage bags. This is just a taste of the nightmare neighbors featured in this letter sent to the Nightmare Neighbors podcast. Cheryl’s herbal remedies create a stench that wafts up to the letter writer's flat, while her “healer” persona clashes with her penchant for screaming at her partner at 2 a.m. Their son, Damien, adds to the chaos with doorbell pranks and relentless football games against the shared wall. From accusations of snitching to threats of violence, the letter writer details their descent into a war of attrition involving strategically placed opera music and early morning vacuuming.
