I feel the need to stim via jumping. We just moved into a new place and I made the mistake of doing it a couple of times late at night, between 12 and 1. So a couple of my neighbors called and complained about it to my land lord. I promised my wife I would take it outside, but I couldn't help but get pissed off when she told me to stop jumping altogether. It probably didn't help that I was able to do it frequently at my last place and nobody complained. I know I'm in the wrong and definitely do not want to get evicted(we love, love, love our new place), but I also find stimming to be a part of my identity. I just got to find a way to do it that doesn't bother anyone.

Yeah, my last apartment was a downstairs and my new apartment is on the second floor. My last apartment was crappy though and this one is really nice. One thing I hate about my neighbors even though I can understand their annoyance; they should of confronted us about it first instead of pussyfooting to the landlord, arrrrr! Second floor apartments are often more break-in resistant, which can be a big problem in St. Louis. I'm curious if you are a jumper too? I also really like your quote about Ulanbator.

I'm sorry that you got in trouble, for something so small.

Thanks, it's ok I just wish my neighbors had complained to me first so I wouldn't have a bad reputation with my landlord. On the other hand I could keep doing it and just blame the whole thing on ghosts.

You could buy a mini-trampoline...

I was going to say that! You could put little rubber/fabric foot pads on the bottom so that it is silent. Super fun

Do not jump at night. Do it in the day time. Find another stim to do at night that won't disrupt the neighbors. You can also go jump outside. Living in an apartment is full of compromises.

Lot of people don't like confrontations so that's why they complained to your land lord than to you first. I remember how uncomfortable I felt when I had to knock on my neighbor's door regarding him playing his music too loud. But he always ignored it so I would rather complain to the landlord. My husband called the police once and I did knock on the door and he wouldn't answer.
But I think the man finally got evicted because my husband hasn't seen him lately so no wonder I haven't heard loud music lately and he told me to not say anything about it to the room mate. The neighbor had a room mate.
