It sounds like the title to a scary movie - but this really happened. A tour turned into: Viral Video: Person Sleeping in Empty Closet! The Man In The Closet video is all over the place...and for good reason. Watch how calm this young lady is while she tours an apartment.

Viral Video: Person Sleeping in Empty Closet! - What Would YOU Do?

Okay, I've been thinking about this and how I'd react - and to be honest I'd probably do the same thing. You don't want to make a scene and startle the person (you have no idea what mental state they're in, right?).

Now would I could just go all Bruce Willis and threaten to shoot the closet like in "The Last Boy Scout" - remember this scene?

But I think I'm going to politely say NOPE and leave the apartment.

Viral Video: Person Sleeping in Empty Closet! - would you still rent a place there?

This started a conversation in the studio (and at home) - would you rent an apartment in the building after this experience? I'm kind of leaning towards the "World According to Garp" mindset and thinking what else could go wrong? Most people I asked about this simply said "hell no". That's it. We're done with the tour. Nope. Okay bye bye.

Is that the weirdest thing we've seen in an apartment? Not by a long shot! Remember when Jenny Jenny rented an apartment that had a large stain on the carpet that looked just like blood? Or do you remember the guy in Atlanta that was convinced no one else lived in his apartment?

So to recap: The Man In The Closet During Apartment Tour is NOT the weirdest thing you've seen in an apartment, right? Would you still rent there? Most people said no. Did they do the right thing by leaving him alone? Absolutely! (I'm still sticking to my Garp theory and renting the place...after they change the locks).
