How they enter the bathroom on roller skates,to describe hoe their movement is noisy too.
How your ceilings leak when they take showers,meaning water flows from their place to your place.
How they tend to make their parties mix by supplying their guest with pogo sticks,not knowing if they're used for playing inside the house or fighting,but all in all the idea of supplying guests in the house with pogo sticks is absurd.
