Brilliant Swedish Man Gets Government Money for "Heavy Metal Addiction"


This is one of the most genius things I have heard in a long time.

Swedish man, Roger Tullgren, has been awarded state disability benefits for his "addiction to heavy metal."  First off - WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS??  Secondly, Roger- you are my new personal hero. 

Here's how he pulled it off:  The 42-year-old self-diagnosed metalhead said he consulted three psychologists to confirm his uncontrollable addiction to guitar solos and headbanging, which led him to over 300 concerts last year.  Attending this many shows made him useless as an employee, leaving him unable to hold down a job.  Roger says: 
"I have been trying for 10 years to get this classified as a handicap.  I spoke to three psychologists and they finally agreed that I needed this to avoid being discriminated against." 
 According to a report by the Global Post, he now has a part-time job as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Hassleholm, which will be supplemented by disability benefits ::cough, free money, cough::.  Not only is he getting Sweden's handouts, but his new boss has agreed to let him rock out to Slayer as loud as he wants while scrubbing dishes, so long as it doesn't disturb guests.  Swedish-headbanger-Roger has got this all figured out!!  If that wasn't enough, his boss also agreed to grant Tullgren time off to go to gigs!  Roger boasts:  
"I signed a form saying: 'Roger feels compelled to show his heavy metal style. This puts him in a difficult situation on the labor market. Therefore he needs extra financial help'.  So now I can turn up at a job interview dressed in my normal clothes and just hand the interviewers this piece of paper."  
Wow.  Roger also claims his addiction started when his brother played him a Black Sabbath album when he was a toddler.  Yea, me too, buddy.
