In this video, FactFaction takes a look at 10 people with some of the most bizarre, inexplicable
and disgusting addictions.
Prepare to be confused!
Hungry David
Banger-mad Brit David Harding has a thirteen-a-day
addiction to sausages, and is currently undergoing therapy in a bid to shake his hungry habit.
He has already spent thousands of dollars in therapy, counselling and hypnosis in a
bizarre bid to kick his addiction and has eaten sausages every day from the age of five.
He claims to spend about $1000 a year on the porky treats and doesn't quite understand
why people see a problem with him getting his fragrant fix.
In an interview, he claimed ''apparently I just like sausages - plain and simple.
I don't see that there is anything wrong with that, but I do think that I have to look at
ways to control my urges, adding ''I genuinely cannot bear the thought of living without
sausages - d-rug addicts crave their fix, and it's the same for me - except my d-rug is a
banger.
Bloodthirsty Julia
45-year-old mother of two Julia Wilkes has a morbid and unusual addiction to the taste
of human blood, and claims to have been slurping the stuff for over thirty years.
She downs up to two litres of blood a month, and advertises for willing donors in a local
store to get her hefty monthly fix.
These donors turn up to her home before she cuts them with a self-designed scalpel and
guzzles it directly from their necks.
When she and her husband Donald married in 2000, they celebrated by ceremoniously drinking
the blood of one another.
Donald has since given up on the syrupy habit to focus on bringing up their children, but
Julia persists with the thirsty work.
Although her children seem a bit confused by her lifestyle, she claims to feel 'stronger
and healthier' after gulping the good stuff.
Putting the Fun in Funeral
42-year-old Brazilian Luis Squarisi has had a twenty-year love affair with local funerals,
and seems to enjoy attending the events which others dread.
Since his addiction began, he has attended each and every funeral in his hometown of
Batatais and even quit his job to focus on his peculiar pastime.
When his father died and was buried in 1983, Luis became enamoured with the idea of attending
as many of the ceremonies and possible, and now checks the news every day to keep updated
with the de aths and de mises in his area.
Each morning, his routine involves switching on the local radio to see who has passed away
in recent days.
One local morgue worker told reporters 'everyone expects to see him at funerals.
If he stopped coming he would be missed and lots of people would be disappointed, he is
famous already.'
That's one way to get famous, I guess.
Dirty Baobao
Mongolian teenager Baobao has spent more than a decade gobbling and munching dirt.
In an interview, she claims to have eaten more than three tonnes of the muddy stuff
since she first started on her crazy quest.
According to reports, CCTV has caught her stealing mounds of mud from her neighbours'
roof in order to feed her habit.
Allegedly, the house is now almost fully demolished, making her a bit like a human locust.
She has had her dirty habit since the age of seven, and claims that she 'can live without
rice but not [without] soil'.
Her favourite type is apparently of the yellow variety, as it contains less dust and debris,
and she professes to gobble down up to two pounds every single day in a habit that allegedly
makes her feel healthy.
It's certainly a frugal approach.
Barbie Girl
Moldovan Valeria Lukyanova has dedicated her life to becoming a real-life Barbie doll,
and has the looks to prove it.
In order to create the effect of her plastic persona, she has had her breasts enhanced,
she wears a bit too much makeup, and she dons blue coloured contact lenses to change the
colour of her eyes.
Despite her appearance, she doesn't like people to refer to her as a human Barbie, and she
claims that her image inspires people to improve themselves, their looks and their health.
She also uses her looks to find clients for her spiritual healing business and claims
that she can help people to improve themselves - and that she is in regular verbal contact
with aliens.
So maybe she's not so strange after all.
Inflatable Mark
20-year-old Mark is in a polyamorous relationship with fifteen inflatable animals.
He eats with them, watches TV with them, washes them and takes the out on day trips.
He claims to prefer his inflatable pals to actual real life human beings, and enjoys
giving them a cuddle and a kiss.
He has had this bizarre addiction for six long years, which began when he bought an
inflatable whale for his pool.
Mark professes that all of his inflatables have different personalities, ideas, likes
and dislikes.
He also claims that he doesn't like to leave his animals for more than a day, and gets
sick at the prospect of being without them, even confessing that 'it's really nice to
have someone to talk to'.
I suppose everybody needs a friend.
Full-Throttle Nathaniel
27-year-old Nathaniel is in a relationship with his bright red car, which goes by the
name of Chase.
He claims that his relationship is of both an emotional type and a sexual one.
Yep, sexual.
Nathaniel has sex with his car.
He states that this involves 'mainly just rubbing up against it' in addition to profuse
mast urbation.
And presumably a vivid imagination.
Since being a child, Nathaniel has been somewhat lonely and isolated, and seemingly felt that
his only recourse was to become intimate with his favourite vehicle.
And put his p enis in it.
Video footage also shows him hugging and kissing his car in addition to washing it in a rather
suggestive fashion.
From the dawn of TV, man has had a pretty strong relationship with a load of vehicles,
from KITT to Herby to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
But Nathaniel has really taken things up a notch.
Casie and her Urn Since her husband passed away, Casie has developed
the habit of carrying around the urn which holds his ashes.
She takes the urn everywhere - in the car, around the house, to the movies, to the store.
Wherever she feels like going, her husband has no choice but to go with her.
She also routinely talks to the urn and watches TV with it' and when grocery shopping, she
buys her late husband's favourite foods before using them to cook his favourite meals.
However, this isn't the strangest part.
One day, when she spilled some of the ashes on her hand, she didn't want to wipe them
off, considering this to be disrespectful and wasteful.
So what she instead did was lick the ashes off her fingers.
Since doing so, she claims that she can't stop the habit.
She now routinely licks and eats her husband's ashes in what could be considered a strange
attempt at bringing them closer together.
All in all it's pretty sad, but also tragically relatable.
What's the Buzz?
Margaret is addicted to stinging herself with bees.
What most of us avoid, she embraces.
What most of us run from, she runs towards.
She almost literally makes a beeline to a stingy destiny.
Margaret captures bees with a small set of pincers and then pushes them onto her body,
at which point they inevitably administer a painful little zap.
No part of her body is off the table, and she's happy to get a sting wherever she can,
whether on her face, head, nose or knee.
She claims that her most intense one-time session featured around 20 consecutive stings
on her hip.
She has had this weird addiction for ten years, which she began practicing in order to relieve
her arthritis.
She now stings herself around fifteen times a day and keeps bees in a jar for the quick
convenience of easy access.
Strangely, her husband claims to be growing ''concerned''.
I can see why.
Diaper Days
All pregnant women get cravings.
Pickles, chocolate, coffee, it's usually something sort of relatable.
But baby-bound Keyshia instead craves the lure of a urine-soaked diaper.
She sniffs them, covets them and even chews on them.
She also claims that her favourite ones are the dirtiest ones, and relies on friends and
strangers to supply her next stinky fix.
For those of you who are curious, she claims that they taste like sour sweets, which might
be of interest if you don't fancy getting your own lips around a stinky specimen.
She has tried eating unsoiled ones, but she says that aren't as good, and claims that
a top-quality diaper ''has to have pee in it''.
When asked to give a figure, she estimates that she has licked her way through almost
25,000 of the things and goes to the lengths of gathering them from her trash, hiding them
in her closet and sniffing them while she cooks.
Which addiction do you think was the strangest?
