Apartment dwellers share the funniest things they’ve accidentally seen through a neighbor’s window: 'My upstairs neighbor was giving a PowerPoint presentation to her cats'

Anyone who's lived in an apartment building knows that you're never really alone, even when you're in your own living room eating cold leftovers and pretending you don't hear your upstairs neighbor practicing tap-dance at 11 p.m.

Shared walls come with shared… everything. The footsteps, the arguments, the questionable cooking smells, the mysterious thuds that you promise you're going to stop wondering about. And then there are the windows that act as accidental stages into other people's lives, especially at night.

Ask any long-term renter and they'll tell you they didn't mean to see anything. No one sits down with their cup of coffee planning to witness a stranger doing yoga in nothing but socks, or someone passionately rehearsing a breakup speech to their houseplants. But the view is the view, and apartment windows have a way of turning everyday neighbors into recurring characters in a show you never subscribed to.

Maybe it's the couple who keeps breaking up and getting back together loud enough for the entire block to develop an opinion. Maybe it's the guy who owns one chair, one lamp, and a giant sword. Maybe it's your neighbor who talks to pigeons like they're coworkers.

Apartment life isn't glamorous, but it is never, ever boring.
