My downstairs neighbour Steve came up at 6:30 complaining about all the noise I was making.

Steve: It's like being in a drum down there... you've been at it all day...
Me: Are you asking me to be quiet?
Steve: And when you walk around in those hard shoes.
(we both look down and gaze at my birkenstock slippers)
Me: Well, I'll do my best to be quiet, but I'm trying to get this done before it gets too late.
Steve: uh, ok.

It's the passive aggression that gets to me. I can spot pass-agg a mile away. I'm an expert at doing it, so seeing it is easy as pie. I would much rather that someone come up and state clearly what they want rather than stand at my door like a pimpled paperboy requesting to be paid for work he (maybe) didn't do.

Anyhow, I'm going to annoy them right now because there's still some stuff I have to do before I can sleep on my bed. Tough luck.
