Double entendre not intended.
I can't get over how self centered most (seemingly) people are in the building I live in.
When they go up or down the stairs, they STOMP.
When they close their doors, they SLAM them. The one across the hall from me slams her door so hard that it makes the wooden beams in the building shake.
People are unaware or just don't care that they are sharing the building with other people.  
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I have had the misfortune to have such neighbours in the past. It never occurs to them that there is anyone else alive on the planet.

It's not just in your building! It's everywhere! 
Seriously, I spend way more time than I'd like, listening to type A people drone on about their miserable self-centered lives. I've got a retired neighbor who just loves to talk...I avoid him, especially during work hours. I've got a brother-in-law who calls me just about every day because he is bored and has no friends. Then, there is the current example of a non-technical colleague who needs help troubleshooting a slow wifi issue at her new house. It's been around 25 min. now on this phone call and finally past the point of 'turn in off and turn it back on'...to be continued.

I wanted to get out of a lease and "played up" the stomping part. The landlord came to check me out personally. As luck would have it, at that moment we hear stomping and he goes: "What's that noise?!" "Oh, it's someone climbing the stairs" (3 story appt; stairs). No contest.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

Oddly enough, my neighbor (who is otherwise very gracious) also has a habit of letting their doors slam. Bothers me no end.

When in Singapore we had a guy upstairs who regularly came in about 2am and put his porn on a full volume, now that is annoying - porn with no pictures is just irritating.
We retired to an acreage outside Cairns, peaceful it is.

That's nothing... ours shout and sing songs till 4A.M., they also put loud music at night and from time to time they just jump making all the glass in the house shake, oh, and not to mention moving furniture or just letting chairs fall loud when they move those (again they always do this from 21:00 to 4:00).
I've tried to talk with them, asked them to stop, menaced them with call the police, even called the police twice.
Of course, nothing worked.
Once my downstairs neighbor came our home to ask if we could stop making noise... you can't imagine her face when I told her the noise came from our upstairs neighbors.
And this doesn't ends here: they throw their shaved hairs through the window (don't ask me why) and ashes from cigarettes too (in the inner courtyard)... we don't use it, but our downstairs neighbor gets her clothes dirt with this when she puts clothes in the clothesline...
Every single time I tried to speak with my upstairs neighbor he always tell me he has been here for 2 years (in his mind this gives him some kind of allowance) and that he respects a lot the neighbors... GO FIGURE!
I guess it's an education thing, add here a lot of I DON'T CARE and you have the perfect neighbor.
When the f***ing virus thing ends I'll just move to an attic in a different building.

It was 7 days ago as well, and I predict it will be again in 7 days time. There is a pattern here!

It's warm and not hurricane season yet so I'd say sometime mid April to late May?

Great! Thanks! 
It's difficult to tell in Wales, because we have two season: Sog and Freeze.
Strangely, the sky has gone an odd shade of blue, and there is a big warm Yellow thing in it that I don't recognise. I'm assuming it's a Solar Coronavirus and am staying out of it's way ...

Yes, we have had this blue sky with big warm yellow thing in the air since half march or so.
Being from Belgium it is very unusual since the two months preceding that simply offered the typical relentless eternal rain causing the usual widespread flooding of all low lying areas.
At the end of that wet period all of a sudden there were happy news flashes: yippee, ground water levels are back to normal again !!!.
Roughly 6 weeks of this blue sky with warm yellow ball thing later they are screaming blue murder again that water supplies will be extremely low this summer.
OK, so we have had two or three really dry summers in a row and maybe a third or fourth coming up. That only causes posing one question: why haven't all the blithering experts/politicians/leaders done anything in the mean time? Too busy maintaining their private swimming pools?
I am sure it could not all have been sorted in that sort of short time frame but at least something could have been started/initiated/suggested to alleviate some of the potential problems but no: simply maintaining business as usual is far easier. The usual total radio silence has happened, it just makes you wonder why on earth we have elected any of them.
