世論 What Japan Thinks

goo Ranking took a fun look at something I’m sure we’ve all experienced, the demons people have haunting their homes.

Demographics

Over the 18th and 19th of February 2011 1,097 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 67.6% of the sample were female, 6.8% in their teens, 21.0% in their twenties, 32.1% in their thirties, 24.0% in their forties, 9.0% in their fifties, and 7.1% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

My main demon is similar to number 1, the processor cycle stealing demon. I was going to say that I’ve also got a toilet paper eating demon and a liquid soap drinking demon but I realised that’s not a very nice way to talk about my wife.
