4. Attending Funerals
Coimetromania: the abnormal attraction to and the desire to visit cemeteries. There is one gentleman in Brazil who is so addicted to attending funerals that he had to quit his job and is now a full time funeral attender. His daily routine consists of listening to the radio to see if anyone has passed away and if no announcements are made, he will then contact local hospitals. Although many people would find this strange, the locals apparently find it comforting, and one local funeral director said that no one wants him to go to therapy because people expect to see him. Which is sort of nice, but sort of not at the same time.
