I live in a basement apartment, for those who didn't know. The child above me always comes down. She used to do it mostly when me & the room mates had the lights off, and try to sneak into our rooms "while we weren't home" and play with our stuff.
There was a period where she left us alone for a few months. But lately it's been REALLY bad.
A while ago, I didn't even hear her come in, & I had just gotten my tonsils removed. I was walking to the bathroom, probably to vomit, and she was standing there looking at me, caught like a deer in headlights, and then said "me and mom are going to the park! byeee!" all happy-like.
Another time me and my boyfriend were fooling around, and I heard her and her little sister whispering at the entrance, so I bolted to the otherside of the apartment to shoo them out.

Now.. I was just CHANGING INTO MY PJS and she walks in.
I have no idea how to get it into her skull that she is not welcome down here, especially unannounced. I've tried speaking to my landlord about it, but she just says "Just tell her to go away, she always listens to you".

I'm just so pissed. I hate when I get my privacy violated.
I HATE IT SO MUCH.
Should I hang a dead bunny from the ceiling near the entrance? Think that'll work?

*Bitching about it has made me feel a little less pissed. So I guess I got what I wanted...

how old is she? you should explain how it's important to knock and be invited in before you go into someone's house and tell her that you will visit with her when you have the time for company.

is poisoning an option?

I had a similar problem with a 92 year old wanker who lived above me when I lived in Virginia. He was CONVINCED I was doing drugs or something in my apartment. There were several times he would accidentally on purpose walk into my apartment. Luckily these times I was fully dressed. The worst time was when the movers came to ship all of my stuff out the day before I left. I'm in my bedroom helping the movers, and there he is, walking through my apartment and going through my shit. I asked him politely to leave (I did make complaints to the apartment owners previously, to no avail). The woman who was part of the moving company was ace, though. She yelled at him to "get the fuck out" and threatened to call the cops, etc.

I'm pretty sure she's 5. When I saw her I got all flustered and managed to blurt out "THAT'S SO RUDE!" but still...
Rational speaking might not work. She's one of those children who always ask "Why? But why? But why?"
I have a month left in this apartment & then I'm moving, but if it happens again, I will have to tell her. And if she mentions it the next time I see her, I will have to tell her. Cuz now she's seen me...all...awkward and nude.
