The living conditions and personal hygiene of a remarkably unpopular Betoota Heights sharehouse dweller has left his housemate’s reeling after it’s far lower than what they expected.
For the past six months, Dana Rench has been practically living in bed – a bed without bedsheets.
The 24-year-old works nights at Sushi Bin out at Remienko Regional Aerodrome and often spends the daylight hours cooped up in his room using his laptop and video game console to pass the time.
His housemates understand that he survives off the leftover sushi he takes home at the end of each shift.
One of young Dana’s housemates took time out of his busy afternoon to speak to The Advocate about the recent discovery.
“The only reason why we went into his room was that we thought he was home and had his headphones in. But he wasn’t there. We are all going down to the shops to get groceries,” he said.
“We know he doesn’t like to cook but we thought he might enjoy the walk, you know? Whatever, anyway, we go in there and the place looks like hell. The smell was uncategorisable. It was just a dank, wet smell. The air was heavy to breathe,”
“We knew he was a piggy little boy but his lack of bedsheets, cleanliness and self-respect we all saw when the door opened means he’s exceeded our first estimates. This is a whole new dimension of human piggery. This is the net result of capitalism. Just the shit, man. I can’t begin to describe it. It was fucked.”
The Advocate reached out to Dana for comment but couldn’t locate him at the time of print.
More to come.
