A man who sleeps on a lone mattress on his bedroom floor, has one towel for the shower, beach and any accidental spills, who uses Glen-20 whenever he knows a girl is coming over, also happens to be the happiest person in his entire social world.
Matthew Briggs (27), has unknowingly baffled his friends, who all assumed that a lack of furniture and general disregard for home decor would lead to misery.
“I don’t know how he does it,” admitted Tom (29) a work mate who prides himself on having his shit together.
“He doesn’t even have a bed frame”
Matthew, who owns exactly three plates and one fork, insists he’s perfectly content.
“It really just doesn’t bother me” he shrugged, casually sipping orange juice from a mug with a thin layer of dried coffee baked into it.
His wardrobe, which consists solely of five identical black T-shirts and two pairs of jeans, is apparently liberating.
“I never waste time deciding what to wear,” Matthew explained, oblivious to his friends daily battles with over-complicated wardrobes.
Many of Matthew’s friends look at his habits with both horror and curiosity, some of them have coined a term for the philosophy: Slob-Stoicism.
Despite worried housemates, Matthew is consistently described as the most upbeat member of his social group.
Experts suggest his joy may be linked to his complete lack of responsibility or emotional attachment to material objects.
Matthew, however, attributes his happiness to simpler reasons.
