*Warning: this ad is not for the claustrophobes amongst us.*
We have seen a lot of bizarre, weird and borderline illegal living arrangements advertised online throughout the years.
But this?
This tops them ALL.
Step right up, step right up. These 'sleeping pods' are available to rent for €190 per week, per person in Clarinda Park West, Dun Laoghaire.
All aboard the spaceship folks, here we go:

What on earth?
The ad on Daft.ie reads:
"For the first time now available to rent in Ireland. Japanese-style sleeping pods as seen in forward-thinking organisations such as Google, Facebook, etc. Pods are a new form of short to medium term accommodation, (one person per pod), and may not be suitable for those who prefer a bed. You have your own USB ports, reading lights, plug sockets, fan, smoke alarm, fold away bed table for laptop, etc. This is your own individual sleeping pod, affording much more privacy than traditional beds (or bunk-beds). Foreigners and people from abroad are very welcome, aswell as locals.
Bills are shared. Unlike the majority of places, you do not have to sign up for a year - this is a flexible, monthly lease. Just give one month's notice when you wish to leave. This flexibility is reflected in the price and facilities.
These pods are the genuine article from Mr Sleeping Pod .com - with CE and BS British Standards, and fire-tested to the highest standards."

Wait a second... "May not be suitable for those who prefer a bed"?! Who doesn't prefer a bed? What is there to prefer over a bed?!
So. Many. Questions.
Surely spending long periods of time in pods like these would give anyone claustrophobia?
Ah yes, nothing quite like crawling into an LED-lit pod after a long day in the office. Home sweet home.
