What’s strange in this story is that the man living in the house, in the southern city of Fukuoka, only got suspicious when he noticed food disappears from his kitchen. He installed security cameras that transmitted images from the house straight to his mobile phone, and noticed a surprising movement after a couple of days.

Speedy policemen that arrived at the house, hoping to catch a burglar, were surprised to find the front door locked and the windows shuttered. Only after a thorough search around, the cops found the woman lying on a small mattress in the closet. She explained the cops that she is homeless and got into the house when it noticed it was unlocked.

The woman admitted to even take showers in the house. It’s weird to see someone that hasn’t noticed such a permanent guest for such a long time. Maybe he was working deadly overtime?

This office workers, or “Salary men”, as they known in Japan, are suffering from work-related stress and depression. Nevertheless, this high rate may not come as a surprise, as Japan is one the leading nations in the world in suicide rates.

What’s interesting to find out is that the due to the laws in Japan, the family of a person that killed himself because of work may get compensation from the government. In 2007 the government paid to the families of 81 people, and that’s beside another 392, that died from work related sickness.

The conclusion in the end is not so surprising: work less and get rest. It can get you killed in so many ways.
