Japan has either huge closets or tiny homeless people
 I wouldn’t mind living in there… |
| From the ‘only in Japan’ file……If I were a 58-year-old homeless Japanese woman, where would I take up residence? I have no idea, but one lady in Japan moved into someone’s closet. According to the article, she slipped inside a man’s house and took up residence in his closet’s top cubby area one day when he left the house unlocked. Apparently the guy never uses that part of his closet because he didn’t notice anything suspicious until food began mysteriously disappearing. Eventually, he set up cameras in his house and had the images transmitted to his cell phone. The lady showed up on camera, the police were called, and she was nabbed and charged with trespassing, which is a lot lighter a charge than she would probably get in America. The article also says that she “moved a small mattress into the closet space.” How gigantic must the closet be to fit a mattress inside it?! Or how small is the mattress (and thus the lady)?! Either way, that’s crazy. Another cool ‘only in Japan’ note on the article: She took showers at the guy’s house and was described by a police spokesman as “neat and clean.” Hmmm…that sounds familiar. |
