"A Noise Next Door"

A:  

What were you doing last night?

B:  

Why do you ask?

 

A: I heard a noise coming from your apartment.  Something was moving...something was bouncing...were you playing basketball in your bedroom?
B:  

Not me.  I was watching tv, as usual. I was reading, eating popcorn and watching the Shopping Channel.

 

A: Then who was making a noise?
B:

Maybe it was John, your next door neighbor on the other side. He has a basketball game on Saturday.  Maybe he was practicing for it.

A: I was going crazy.  I was studying for a big test and the noise was really disturbing me.
B: I understand.  Next time you should shout out loud, "Hey, stop that noise!" and maybe the noise will stop.
A: Good idea.  Well, I was feeling angry, but now I am happy again. Thanks for the advice.
B: You're welcome.  Good luck for your test, by the way.
A: Thanks.
