Extreme behavior
I am always mesmerized by sort of attitude: 70,000 Beer Cans Found in Ogden Townhouse:
When property manager Ryan Froerer got a call from a realtor last year to check on a townhouse, he knew something was up. Ryan Froerer, Century 21: “As we approached the door, there were beer boxes, all the way up to the ceiling.”
Inside, he took just a few snapshots to document the scene. Beer cans by the tens of thousands. Mountains of cans burying the furniture. The water and heat were shut off, apparently on purpose by the tenant, who evidently drank Coors Light beer exclusively for the eight years he lived there.
The cans were recycled for 800 dollars, an estimated 70,000 cans: 24 beers a day for 8 years.
Why do I blog this? it’s a quirky but I am impressed by this sort of squalor behavior… Extreme user of cans…

I’m amazed people like this stay alive. I like how in the last picture there’s a room full of cans, and then some neatly stacked cans in the back. It’s also quite amazing the guy didn’t even make an attempt to crush the cans to make more space.
Regarding squalor behavior, when would a guy like this find his breaking point? Would he rather move than clean up his mess?
