You read that right. Roger Tullgren, 42, of Sweden has convinced the government to classify him as disabled because he is too addicted to heavy metal music. The man is described as heavily tattooed, has long black hair and a large collection of skull and crossbones jewelry. He said that his addiction caused him to attend nearly 300 concerts last year, which prevented him from holding down a job. He now works part time as a dishwasher to supplement his disability benefits.
He consulted 3 psychologists that agreed with him and said it's an actual disability. "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," one of them said said.
