Lads. We wish this was a joke.
We really, really do.
Because if this is real then things have really gone too far.
Advertised on Daft.ie as a “double”, this is the most ridiculous sham of a rental listing we’ve ever seen in Dublin:

Located on Grove Park in Rathmines, the photos of this €650-per-month ‘studio flat’ really speak for themselves…

You legit couldn’t pay me €650 to sleep on that yoke for a single night.
Let alone ask me to pay €650 to sleep on it for a whole month. Christ alive.
Like look at the distance from the top step of the stepladder to the ‘mattress’ – you’d wanna have long legs and decent upper body strength to manage that awkward manoeuvre.

You would also wanna be a rigid sleeper. One toss or turn and you’re a goner. The couch would be a safer option for sure.
Whoever is behind this monstrosity is setting themselves up for total disaster.
And the people of Twitter agree:
€650 a month for a single mattress on top of a wardrobe with access only by stepladder.
But yeah, avocados and entitlement. Totally. pic.twitter.com/4MNCCPco4T

Is the bed the yolk sellotaped to the wardrobe?

Holy fuck, is that real?
— Michael C (@voxmichaeli) August 25, 2017
haha I love how they try to make it look chique with the different coloured wall, one toss or turn in that and you’re in St VIncent’s A&E
— Laura Gaynor (@_LauraGaynor) August 25, 2017
Mattress isint even supported the whole way round. And the electrics are at your feet. One hell of an alarm clock.

Seriously – when will this shite end?!
Shame on the person behind this.
Check out the full listing here.
