Have you ever had a landlord who muttered and whined about the teeniest and silliest things? Well, send them the link to this news article; he/she will realize your little mishaps ain’t nothing compared to this!
According to a story I found via Boing Boing, it seems like someone’s rent was overdue and she was just impossible to get hold of which let to this distressing discovery! The Incredibly Messy House!
After the shock wears off and you stop gagging, you have to wonder what exactly happened to the tenant?
