There is in the closet and then there is in the closet.
One Japanese woman was charged with trespassing after she was found in the closet of a man’s home. The only thing is, she wasn’t just passing through and wanted to see how much storage the house had, allegedly she had been living in the man’s closet for over a year. The man began to get suspicious after food kept disappearing from his kitchen.
This led the man to buy a home security system, which detected movement inside the house, but when police arrived, they found all the doors and windows were locked. The woman was found when they searched the whole house.
I’m starting to think Japan needs its own category. Maybe something clever, like “Show Me Your Nippon” or “Toky-oh no.”
I fully nominate the latter of the two.
Oh Japan, God help our humor if you ever get your act together.
