The article doesn’t give a lot of details about the man, but from my personal studies into the subject of shoe-sniffing, I estimate there’s a 99% chance he’s a weeb, and a 50% chance that his favorite anime is Bakemonogatari.
A man in Greece was given a suspended one-month prison sentence after his conviction for disturbing his neighbors by repeatedly sneaking onto their properties and smelling their shoes.
Addressing the court in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki on Thursday, the 28-year-old man said he was unable to explain why he entered his neighbors’ homes to get a whiff of their shoes and said he was embarrassed by his behavior.
He said he had no intention of breaking the law or harming anyone during the incidents, according to the Associated Press.
The defendant’s neighbors also testified that he never displayed any sign of aggression when he visited during the night.
The man was ordered by the judge to attend therapy sessions.
Shortly before dawn on Oct. 8, the man was arrested in the small town of Sindos after police were called to a home by a neighbor who found the man in his front yard sniffing his family’s shoes that had been left outside to air out.
Most shoe-sniffers are perfectly harmless people.
There’s a small minority of extremists that give the rest of them a bad name, but the vast majority are good people.
After all, pacifism is a core tenet of shoe-sniffing.
Just think about it – if all of us spent all day sniffing each other’s shoes, we’d have no time to do wars and murders and stuff.
We’d be living in a utopia.
