Mr Cement Boots

My room was clean and well stocked with towels and all essentials. I was grateful due to my handicap that I got a room on the bottom floor. I however was not grateful for the upstairs neighbors whom walked around with cement boots all night. I was there comfortable, sleeping...until upstairs Mr. Cement boots decided to take off said boots, one at a time..BOOM.....BOOM. Startled wide awake at 3am...
