At least he didn’t run a hotel or anything…
He did have rental properties….
That’s pretty impressive honestly.
I thought it was a before and after image before I read the title. Damn fine work.
No no no, it’s one of those Blue Zone things! It’s definitely not pension scams!
I wanna laugh and say he is an egg taking an opprutinity to step outside his gender.
But…
Not only did her son not officially report her death, he wrapped her body in a bedsheet, stuffed it into a sleeping bag and hid it in his house.
But it’s not funny, just ghoulish, depressing and scary. That poor woman, she deserved better than whatever tf we call this.
Scared and desperate people do scared and desperate things. For all we know, this was this guy’s only way of keeping a roof over his head.
I agree, but isn’t it strange that throwing her in a hole and throwing dirt on her, or burning her is considered the better treatment?
I think I’ve been duped by cultural customs.
Meh. It made sense in the wild. Can’t have animals digging up your loved ones. Now it’s more ceremonial but the idea is the same: It’s for the living not the dead
how cultures treat the remains of the dead vary. wrapping your mom’s body in a sheet and hiding it in the house while you wear a wig and go to cash her checks isnt someone waking up from otherwise foolish death customs dude
You know what. Maybe it should be!
I have an idea for a bold new law. Let’s help desperate people, add more whimsy to the world, and maybe help some folks discover something about themselves.
New Law:
You can legally claim your dead relative’s social welfare benefits for up to five years after their death…but you have to dress up and present as them full time!Holy fuck I can’t stop laughing
It really wasn’t meant to be taken that seriously, haha. But I suppose you could tag me as woke to foolish death customs dude. It would be an interesting way to be introduced at a wake
I’d have to agree with you. Personally, they can harvest what good organs I have left and do whatever they want with the rest. I feel like a lot of the traditions around death are there for the surviving friends and family not for the deceased. In this case, he was the surviving family member and honored her by dressing up like her and collecting her pension.
Okay but I’m having a hard time not finding humour in this. I mean shes dead, it’s not like she felt it or cared. Dude is a fucking FREAK for sure but like this as a situation, like that he even thought to do this and then executed this insane plan for pension money is absolutely bonkers nutso.
Like how long did he plan to keep this rouse going? There’s no way this works for longer than a year and then you’re going STRAIGHT to jail. And for what? A years worth of pension?
Tbh, I would actively authorize this for my next of kin if they wanted for a private pension. Doing it for public funds is fucked though. I would also stipulate that they be safe with the biohazard that is my corpse, because just keeping it in a bag in the living room is stomach turning.
