Man gets a little too relaxed on massage chair, unaware that his nap was about to go very wrong

All survival stories are important, but not all survival stories are equal. Some stories are dangerous, and some are somewhat ridiculous. The latter was the case when a man from Japan found himself locked in a department store after he got too relaxed in a massage chair and fell asleep until the store closed — forcing him to turn to Twitter for help.

It seems that when the employees were closing down the store, they didn’t check whether it was actually empty. And who can really blame them? Sometimes the workday can be slow or draining, and you just can’t wait to pack things up and head home. But in some far corner, a man whose Twitter account is @_Asphodelus was, unbeknownst to them, deep asleep on a massage chair. He woke up to tweet, “Oh man, I’m locked in!” — much to everyone’s delight worldwide. The tweet went on to get over 39,000 retweets.
