I'm trying to work out why anyone would feel insecure about managing a restaurant. There's a lot that goes into keeping a fast food place up and running. It's a good job. (and yeah, if this is real, the non-pilot needs some help.)

One of the easier YTA. I've done flight simulators too, as well as taken the controls of a light aircraft, glider and microlite, which is more than this muppet appears to have done. Total delusion. His wife should give him the divorce if he wants one.

I generally think all of these are made up, but I actually dated a guy who told everyone, including my PARENTS, that he was a 'composer.'. I never once heard him play a musical instrument. When I asked to hear recordings or see sheet music of his compositions (in like a supportive, I'm interested in you way, not trying to catch him in a lie) he told me he 'burned them in a fit of creative rage' and that I, as an artist, should understand (I really don't). We were together for a year and I never saw him compose anything. The few friends of his I had met told me they also had never heard his compositions or seen him playing an instrument. The whole thing was just so bizarre.

I'm a bounty hunter because I play a lot of Metroid and a truck driver because I played euro track simulator. This article is so stupid I couldn't even read to the end because of cringe

I have expend hundreds of hours in airports and planes, I am a pilot too!

Boy, is OP delusional! I AM a pilot and I can assure him that nothing he has done even remotely compares to actually flying an airplane, even a single-engine trainer. Also, one doesn’t have to be paid to be a real pilot; some of us are recreational pilots — but we actually fly real honest-to-god airplanes!

OP: do you have a pilot license? Can you fly an actual airplane? If the answer is no... YOU ARE NOT A PILOT and you DO NOT deserve that title. YTA!

And the kid who's addicted to CoD is a professional military soldier

Dude. It doesn't matter how much time and money you have put into your sim hobby, that does not make it the same thing as being a pilot. If you want to make sims your career, then start streaming them or something, and introduce yourself as "sim-pilot streamer". If you want to introduce yourself a pilot, take flying lessons, learn to fly, and get your licence. You are not only completely delusional, you seriously embarassed your wife at her work function by contradicting her, lying about her "bad memory" and lying about your career. You are unquestionably the giant AH. Apologise. Profusely. Take some flying lessons. Learn to differentiate between reality and a simulation.

My name is Maureen, and I'm the pampered trophy wife of a famous pop star. I can't tell you who, because he doesn't know.

The idiot is a delusional AH. Dude, you are not a pilot. It's your hobby. Do you actually get a paycheck from someone for this? NO. Do you actually get in a plane and fly it? NO! So it's a hobby not a job.

I'm sitting here thinking of all the real money he invested in his hobby could have gone to pay for his flight training, and pilot's license, he's a deluded idiot, and verbally and emotionally abusive of his wife, he's definitely the a*****e here, and is probably going to end up in divorce proceedings. If I was his wife, he'd be the one on the couch, and hitting the bricks, pounding sand, and out of my life.

1/2 I hope this is fake, but I have known people this delusional. Granted, one of them lived in a group home under 24/7 1:1 care for his safety and that of the public. He would rage if you told him he wasn't a cop. One night when he was calm, I asked him why he insisted he was a cop when we both knew it wasn't true. It came down to the notion that he wanted it to be true, and he liked saying it because it made him feel like it was real, and he figured if he said it enough it would become real. That kind of broke my heart.

"I'm a cop" has never gone to any training but does know how to drive, shoot a gun. And made a fake cop car in his garage to test drive. Or let's do a 1-1 "I'm a truck driver." But doesn't even have a driving license. Its great to have passions, hobbies, and aspirations. But being into something to the point you've sunk hundrdds of hours does not make you a professional. I'm a certified medical attendent, but i would never say im a healthcare professional- even though I litterally DO have the certfucation to do so. It's more than just what you know, but also if you are using it as a career.

guy asked what he does for a living. for a living, he is a franchise manager. He spends his money on his hobby. I've flown a plane (two seater) - I'm more of a pilot than him by this reckoning.

I would divorce him, he is delusional and tried to damage his wife's mental competence to her colleagues. He is not a pilot and never will be, the fantasy is more appealing to him.

I'm actually the world's greatest materia hunter and I would like to be acknowledged as such and for you guys to hand over your materia. Seriously though, f*ck this guy. The question was what you do for a living, not your hobby. He's not a pilot and you'd think he know that with all the $$$ he spent. He belittles his wife for not playing along with his delusion and talks smack about her job instead of being happy she was able to find one after being laid off. There's nothing wrong with managing a restaurant, but there is something wrong with being this delusional and sh!tty to your wife.

Here's a compromise. OP could ask his wife to start calling him "Pontius".

Cool so now I'm a therapist, and author cause I've had therapy for years and spent a lot of money on books. Good to know 🤣🤣🤣

Well, guess I'm an F1 driver then. Noice...

I played Call of Duty for years. I deserved the respect that my rank...in game...affords me.
