The Chilean miners should make her an honorary member.

Ah, the French....Worthless since Waterloo! (and probably long before that!)

May I humbly suggest that they keep a Milwaukee reciprocating saw under the bathroom vanity just in case this happens again.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

No sh!t?

The story I read about this earlier said that her neighbors circulated a petition to have her evicted over the noise.

[Jolla]

someone was doing home repair work and launched a petition to find out who it was and have it stopped.

How very very French

[hoyt-clagwell]

Hey, she saved 3 weeks worth of food money and lost weight to boot = profit.

Thats how I felt the night before my colonoscopy after I drank that gallon of laxative.

[Wissa]

It wouldn’t have been so bad if she hadn’t gnawed off one of her feet in an attempt to escape.

In an apartment?! This woman wasn’t very creative.
How about using the tank lid as a battering ram, or to knock off the door knob? If the floor below is a neighbor ... flood the bathroom! Run everybody out of hot water to force an investigation!

Rinse & Repeat.

Is/Was Morse universal or just English?

Hmmm, must check on that.

If the floor below is a neighbor ... flood the bathroom!

Doesn't matter even if she's on the ground floor. When water starts running out the door, somebody will investigate.

Worthless since Waterloo! (and probably long before that!)

How about since Roncevaux? (August 15, 778)

Wonder if there was a window in this bathroom.

Everyone should learn SOS in Morse Code. Random banging on a pipe is obviously not very effective.

Door hinges are usually on the inside; a flathead screwdriver might be useful, but easier than that is to not lock the door. What’s the point, when no one else is around?

From what I’ve seen of French bathrooms on House Hunters, there probably wasn’t room to swing a tank lid, if there were a tank lid to swing. Some French toilets are tankless.

[Kartographer]

“Some French toilets are tankless.”

Some are just a hole in the floor.

When my great grandmother was alive, she and her elderly neighbors kept an eye on each other. She couldn’t stand Mr Wolf but if he didn’t back his car out of the garage by 8 AM she called to make sure everything was OK.
