BERLIN (Reuters) - German police broke into a darkened flat fearing they would find a dead body after neighbours complained of a nasty smell seeping out onto the staircase.
The shutters of the apartment had been closed for more than a week and the post-box was filled with uncollected mail.
But instead of a corpse police found a tenant with badly smelling feet asleep in bed next to a pile of foul-smelling laundry, police in the south-western town of Kaiserslautern said on Sunday.
Muslim?
College guy I would suppose. Possibly mid-eastern with no history of presonal hygiene.
Muslims have a foot washing rule of some sort. That is why some where in the US they are financing foot washers so they will keep their feet out of the drinking fountains.
The German guy...if this is true..unbelievably hilarious.
Not sure,, these days, they might have suspected a lab too.
Hey, my old college roommate lives in Berlin.
I’ll say this...I never fully understood why they called it “cutting the cheese” until I visited Berlin and browsed the deli department at KaDeWe.
Wow.
If that had been Pittsburgh instead I would have worried that they were talking about my stepson.
He the lazyest person (other than the homeless) I have ever met about personal hygene.
No foot fetish here.
>>>Hey, my old college roommate lives in Berlin.
My brother was your college roommate?!

I was a surgical resident moonlighting in the ER. I have had women 'precip' and deliver in my lap, not only the baby, but meconium stained amniotic fluid. I have had "pure pus" squirt up and on my lips and tongue. I have had many, many people vomit all over me. I once had a woman, while in stirrups and with buldging membranes rupture those membranes an cover me from head to foot, filling my new Florsheim shoes with amniotic fluid. I have operated patients and spent several hours dragging out pure feces from the peritoneal cavity. None of those things made me puke. Only the pus in the face made me gag. But the worst smell I have ever smelled was not a gangrenous leg, or dead bowel, or finding maggots in the sores of a diabetic with diabetic neuropathy. No. It was the smell of a derelict, itinerent who lived under a bridge. He was a drug addict and alcoholic. They brought him to my ER and he was obtunded. Once I determined he was stable. He was moved from the crash room to a regular monitoring room. The nurses removed all of his clothes, including a set of cowboy boots. I was sitting at least 40 feet away when the boots came off. I was writing in a chart when the wafting, floating odor of this mans feet hit my nostrils. As the very molecules which had, just moments before, had left his feet and seated on my nasal mucosa I began to gag. The odor was not describable. Now dead colon (say at least 24 or 36 hours) is noxious. IT is unpleasant, like a dead animal lying for several days on the side of the road having been hit and mangled by an automobile. But this guys feet were unapproachable. I began to gag and wretch and eventually blew chow in the bathroom, all as a result of smelling this guys feet. He told us eventually that he could not remember when he ever took off his boots.
This is a true story and I am an eye (nose) witness.
So I believe the story as posted.
