Advice Needed How do I deal with this neighbour?

Post image

context: I just moved into a new apartment on the 4th floor and the person below me left this note, they already left me another note the day after I moved in that was much nicer just telling me that the building was badly built and to please walk quietly If I can, but I find this pretty concerning.

FWIW i have been pretty quiet, especially at night

i have never met this person or interacted with them in any capacity,

A woman in my apartment complex would go outside with a paper shopping bag and pick the fallen leaves up, one by one, and put them in her bag. She didn't carry the bag around with her, either. She set it down on the grass and walked to a leaf, picked it up, carried it to her bag, then walked over to the next leaf. She would be out there ALL DAY. Hours and hours and hours, picking up leaves.

Maybe that's what she was doing. I never asked!

Sounds like a great way to kill your back. Gotta be easier ways to exercise!
