"This Person Is Out Of Touch With Reality": 40 Delusional People Who Proved They Don’t Understand A Thing In This World A friend's uncle, who is a spiritual healer of some sort, claimed one day he would be known as the first man to cure cancer with "spiritual healing techniques" whatever that mean.

The woman he "treated" stopped her treatments because she was "cured" and died inside six months. Apparently no one saw fit to bring that guy to justice.

His explanation was : "She died from a different cancer that was at the same place with the same symptoms at the same time and the first cancer was hiding the second one so he couldn't treat her properly because, you know, I couldn't feel the second one...."

I wish he would go to prison.

I watched my grandmother shove a load of books off of a shelf at the bookstore the other day because she wanted one that wouldn't come out. When she walked away and left a pile of them on the ground, she looked at me and said "It's okay, it's their job to pick that stuff up." Speaking from a retail experience, no it's not. You're just adding extra work.

Two minutes by car is way longer on foot. A car can go between one and two miles in two minutes, depending on speed limits. Can YOU walk between one and two miles in two minutes? Hint: One to two miles in two minutes means 30 to 60 miles per hour. I don’t know anyone who can walk at 30 mph, much less 60. Do you?

If I exit my driveway onto a 35 MPH street, I can drive a mile in two minutes. It would take longer than two minutes to walk it. Still doesn't make the mother right, but two minutes by car is quite different from two minutes by foot.

"You know, if a baby is born underwater, it can live it's whole life underwater!"

I laughed a bit because it's a fairly well known dark joke, but then told her not to joke about that stuff because our coworker was pregananant. She was confused when I told her not to joke.

"It's not a joke, it's a fact!"

Her: "Ugh, it's not even that hard to afford things. Just budget!"

We were on the same salary, but she sold drugs on the side, her grandpa paid her $200/month phone bill, and her mom gave her a $250 a week allowance.

She was also GIVEN her car, by her parents, and was constantly complaining about how old it was and she wanted them to buy her a new one.

"So they eat bugs."

When we all try explaining that mail order brides are essentially human trafficking, he was devastated. His whole plan for getting a girl was ruined, lol.

The grandparent of the child I nanny says things that make me think this all the time.

My nanny family doesn’t use any physical punishment at all. Well she said if we don’t start spanking the kids a (3 and 1 year old) they’ll become unruly demons.

Despite the no spanking policy she still spanks the 3 year old. We stop letting her babysit after that. She still wants to babysit and after a lot of begging we finally let her have the 3 year old for the weekend.

Well the 3 year old came back and was obviously spanked. Also despite her being potty trained she came back in a diaper too. Somehow she managed to undo days of potty training in a weekend. Now the 3 year old is back in diapers full time because she refuses to use the potty now.

Before I could even say anything, she claimed someone was after her, and had been stabbing her and her dog in their sleep with tree bark. It took me a few seconds to process that one.

She also told me that she knew we hadn’t actually euthanized her old dog (that she had YEARS ago) but that we had sold her to Hollywood. Apparently she saw her in a commercial and that was her proof. The dog would have been like 20 by that point so no, we didn’t “sell her to Hollywood.”

And when she gets married, She wants one room in her house that is all pink, so she can get ready and put her make up on. Then she's going to sit around the house all day smoking the "dankest weed" in a pink fur lined house coat. Then when her man comes home they "can do their thing".

"Good thing I'm not human."

...kay.

Edit: Folks wanted elaboration. Dude in question was this obnoxious neckbeard who worked in the same warehouse as me, I'd done my best to avoid him, but as he tended to be loud, I knew he didn't just look like he fit the stereotype. One day, I was waiting in line to clock in (place was really particular about when you clocked in), and he was ahead of me. He starts bitching, to nobody in particular, that his upcoming holiday (it was around xmas) was going to be sh*tty and lonely. At this point, I'm feeling just a little bad for how much I've judged him, so I try to cheer him up a tad and engage in conversation:

Me: "Eh, it doesn't HAVE to be that way. You can decide it's you time, relax, do sh*t YOU want to do. I know I enjoy having time off where I don't have to answer to anyone.

Him: "Yeah, I guess. I'm just pissed. I was supposed to be going to this holiday party, it was gonna be great, but APPARENTLY [host's girlfriend] decided I wasn't welcome and now I've been banned."

(My will to encourage starts to deflate, as I can assume MANY reasons why this came to be, but I don't know for certain, so I decide to try to be kind while finding my way out).

Me: "Aw, that sucks. People can be frustrating."

Him: "Some people just can't be happy unless they're excluding someone, and for some reason it's ALWAYS me."

Me: "Yeah, I hear ya. To a degree, that's human nature, but it's no fun to be on the recieving end of that."

Him: (Voice dripping with arrogance) "Good thing I'm not human."

(At this point I've given up, my attempt to let go of my first impression proved thoroughly pointless. I nod, make a show of spotting a friend of mine, and scurry off to another line.)

This must be an exchange rate or cost of living difference! $5k on a refrigerator? Is it an industrial one? I'm assuming it's USD, and this works out at around £3925. The most expensive free standing fridge I can find online (pre any residual Easter sale discount) is £2329 for a fridge freezer, and I had to be highly specific with my search criteria. Average fridge freezer prices in the UK are maybe up to £700. And as part of my research, one website lists US fridge costs at being up to $4100 for a *smart* fridge, possibly smarter than this person's MIL...

Here is a pretty good example of textbook "delusional": I taught junior college for 7 years. One semester I had a waitress sign up for a night class. She asked if I would work with her since her schedule would present special problems for her to take the class. I agreed with the provision that she do all the work anyway and learn all the material. Sure enough, she only attended three times during a 16-week semester class. I emailed her the assignments and mid-semester test which I never got back. I even sent her the final exam to take as a homework type assignment for a final grade. She took 3 weeks to send this back to me. She did not bother to complete the final exam and earned an "F" on it. How can you fail an open-book, take-home final???? So she earned a very failing grade for the class. She was outraged. Her position was that she had attended three whole times while breathing, and therefore deserved at least a "D" for a passing grade. I said no, she didn't do the work, and she didn't learn the material. She complained to three levels of management to these professional educators. They supported me and agreed she should fail the class. She never took a class in that college again because she was so offended at how unreasonable everyone (especially me) was in their treatment of her.

Years ago, I had one class which conflicted with my work schedule. Since I had the same professor for different classes, he was willing to let me just read the coursework at home, do the coursework at home, etc, even if I couldn't physically attend the class. If I had any questions about that night's work, I'd ask him about it when I saw the prof in class the next morning. I passed all my classes with flying colors, and it never once occurred to me that my grade for the class I couldn't phyiscally attend should be a "gimme" out of the goodness of my professor's heart. I, you know, actually did all the relevant coursework and took all the relevant exams. What a concept!
