The expat has been deemed "precious" and a "national treasure" who should be "protected until the day he learns the cold, hard truth about finding a contractor in Luxembourg willing to take on a small job."

Luxembourg has unleashed a collective “aww, cute” after an expat stated he was going to try to find a company for a small project for his house: installing a doorbell.

It’s been 10 years, and now I cannot tear myself away. I simply get too much joy from watching awkward dancing at concerts. Honesty, each time I’m at a music show, I’m totally transfixed. Everyone in the audience looks so uncomfortable when they move their bodies. I love it.
