Wooden House

Until recently, Annelien assumed our downstairs neighbor had a very active sex life, especially during lunch time. When she worked from home, she would hear strange noises around noon. A lot of Ooohs! and Aaaaahs! would be audible from our apartment. We live in a wooden house that has 2 units. We live in the upstairs unit and our neighbor lives downstairs. We share a garden deck, a garage and a hot tub. And a lot of noise. San Francisco has a lot of wooden houses, so moving elsewhere is not really a good alternative and anyway, we really like the place where we live. However, I felt a bit uneasy when I heard about the neighbor’s lunch time activities. All that noise, every day. We were a bit surprised, because our neighbor doesn’t look like a womanizer. But after investigating the situation, we discovered that he has a pool table in his living room. He brings his friends over for lunch and they play pool and they yell “Oooh man!”, “Aaaah!”, “OMG!”.
