http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/17/swede_undressed_vacuuming_eviction/A sweep-silly Swede is being turfed out of his studio apartment following complaints from hard-pressed neighbours upset about his gratuitous vacuum cleaner usage and nude laundering.
A judge in Sweden has finally given the landlord of the flat in Linköping, southern Sweden the green light for him after 28 years of trying to get shot of the clamorous cleaner.
The court heard the unidentified elderly gent vacuumed for up to five hours a day, which rounds up to a total 50,960 hours of de-fluffing floors during his time at the premises.
It was also claimed he played loud music to drown out the noise of vacuuming and washed laundry on his balcony during his nearly three decades of living in the flat.

5 hours a day? That's durability testing right there!
