People Are Sharing The Most Delusional And Out-Of-Touch Things They Heard From Others

The knowledge in this world is infinite. Even the most knowledgeable genius can only tough the very surface of that vast ocean. So, it's understandable when we don't know about something. It's simple. If we don't know, we can always ask. Maybe we can find the answer from others. Still, don't just take everything people tell you without a double-check.
You know, no one can be 100% correct every time. And it takes nothing to check if the information provided is legit. Maybe it's not the majority, but in some cases, people deliberately try to spread misinformation and myths. Perhaps, they actually don't know about the matter you're asking, so they make things up as an answer. Or, it's also possible that they do it to deceive you. Who knows?
Reddit user "mouldygoldie" reached out to Ask Reddit to hear about the most severe cases of "people being completely out of touch with reality,” and the answers did not disappoint. Well, some people appear to live in a very different world compared to us. These people are just so out-of-touch with reality, and their beliefs are terribly delusional. You may wonder why and how they develop such strange opinions. We don't know. And you may understand after reading this post.
In the list below, we have gathered some of the most ridiculous things people have said to others. Now we have to admit that humans are just weird. What we've got after thousands of years of building up the civilization on Earth is that many people are acting like they're Martians. So completely otherworldly. Let's scroll down to see these people and their bewildering opinions, and tell us what you think about them.

#1 That's a whole new level of stupidity!

My brother told me “I’m avoiding Asian people if I see them on the street or anything. You know, for safety because of the coronavirus.” He’s Asian. OUR ENTIRE FAMILY IS ASIAN.

#2 Ugh, these people are just horrible

Work with a girl who is a flat earther and on top of that denied the existence of space. When the topic came up and I disagreed she asked if I had ever been there... obviously I haven't. I told her I have also never been to Japan and that does not mean it doesn't exist.
She complained to management about my intolerance of her beliefs.

#3 Wow just wow

I used to work at a software company in downtown Boston. One of the best perks of the job at the time was the flexibility in hours. Many folks had regular wfh days. Myself, I knew I could drop my kids off at school, and get into the office by 9:30 and my boss had no issue with it whatsoever. Others with kids had similar arrive late or leave early schedules depending on their childcare.
After a few years, a new CEO comes in, spends a month observing how the office works, then calls for a company-wide meeting. During the meeting she tells everyone she believes having a full office 8-5 is the most productive environment, and at the start of the next month, all wfh was canceled, and she wanted everyone in the office during those set hours. No showing up late or leaving early.
A lively debate ensued, with discussions of there being very little warning, pleas for flexibility, to concerns about making necessary childcare arrangements - especially given that in many cases (i.e. schools) we couldn't adjust those times. Plus, commuting into Boston sucks.
After listening to all of these arguments, she finally responds with a long speech appreciating the sacrifices everyone has to make to better the company, everyone doing their part, blah blah blah. She ends it by saying, "I understand where you're all coming from! Years ago when my kids were little, my husband and I had to hire three nannies to cover all of the times we had to work!"
I remember we all looked around at each other, speechless. It was also the moment I realized I would have to start looking for another job. When the millionaire CEO thinks hiring 3 nannies is a relatable example to her middle-class employees, it's pretty clear she's not going to change her mind.

#4 Which version of the Bible are these people reading from seriously?

Source: OhTheHueManatee,rawpixel

My mother, and several people in my family, believe that God marks people. If someone ultimately has a good soul they're white and I'm sure you can guess where it goes from there. If only non-White did s**tty things that would make sense but you don't even have to look at much of the world to see that is not the case.

When I try to bring up that tons of white people do awful things her logic is "they're lost souls that will eventually find their way". Meanwhile, she'll believe a non-White will never find their way even if they act as they have. The level of delusion this takes is one of the most frightening things to me.

#5 That's actually pretty sad

#6 Anything Donald Trump says, period

#7 Ah yes, Satan's great master plan to convince people the Earth is round so they'd stop cannonballing off the edge straight into hell

An ex became really religious and I'd still talk to her sometimes. Somehow the topic of flat earth theories came up and she said she thinks it's actually possible that it could be true. I tried to explain that we have more than enough imagery and data indicating that the earth is round, and she said it could all be planted there by Satan.
You just can't come up with a response to that.

#8 Poor cousin

My cousin was spoiled and sheltered her entire childhood through college. Then her parents stupidly cut the leash without any preparation and released her into society.
She quickly got in trouble for bouncing checks all over town. My mom picked her up and asked why the hell she was writing bad checks everywhere. Turns out my cousin was under the impression that as long as you had checks in your checkbook, you had money in your account. She didn’t understand that you deposit in a number and then can spend or withdraw up to that amount.
Please teach your kids basic finance.
Note: this was like 1996 before it turns into a “who writes a check anymore” discussion.

#9 Customer needs psych help

Source: asddsa007, Keira Burton

I had a customer come into my office to rent a car. Said she had a reservation for a car, but she didn’t. Told her our deposit structure and she SLAMS a $20 bill on the counter and exclaims that’s enough for a deposit. I politely tell her it doesn’t cover her minimum rate. She then proceeds to ask what rank in the military I am.

Completely confused, I tell her I am the manager and that has nothing to do with our policy. Then she says she out-ranks me and I was disobeying a superior’s orders. I kicked her out and she threatened to deport me...a completely white Chicagoan male adult. I couldn’t even be mad at her lunacy.

#10 Great, so the manager would be working for nothing, and their wages could be distributed among the baristas!!! Everybody wins!

This was from a Regional manager of Starbucks, after they removed merit-based raises that could go up to a 5% increase, changed to a flat 2% increase.When she asked if people liked the new raise plan,
I said actually no, they feel unmotivated with no reason to perform any better than just normal. Regional manager “your staff needs to realize working isn’t about money”

#11 Aside from the killing people part, an oil cycle would actually be not that bad of an idea

I met a lady who thought that High Fructose Corn Syrup was a conspiracy by the OIL INDUSTRY, to kill more people so that their bodies would be cycled through the earth in order to produce more oil.
Y'know. The oil Cycle. That process that takes billions of years?? Talk about a long con.

#12 Care to demonstrate how to go down several flights of stairs on a wheelchair kind sir? No? Mind your f*cking business

Source: CathNelson, Nadiia Doloh

I will never forget the man who angrily told me, a wheelchair user with no feet and no prosthetics, to go down the stairs if I didn’t want to wait for the elevator (I had been talking to my friend, and mentioned we were going to be a little late because of the huge line).

#13 And the banks would just print more money so that no one loses out. What a brilliant mind!

Source: SapphicGarnet, Andrea Piacquadio

My 'friend' stole my card information and bought loads of expensive stuff. I asked her if it was her before reporting it, knowing that a) she was going through a tough time and I wanted to give her a chance to make it right and b) that I could be in trouble for conspiracy to fraud if I reported it and they believed I'd got stuff delivered to my friend to claim fraud for the money back. She said no, I thought someone else had done it so I reported it.
When she got arrested she said she didn't think 'they'd take the fraud thing so far.' She thought you could just call up banks to get the money back and they wouldn't investigate.

#14 This one is very sad but in many ways much more understandable, and even forgivable

Parents of a 35 years old woman, who was hospitalized after suffering severe anoxic brain damage 20 years ago. She had been in the same ward since, barely conscious.
They refused to get her transferred to a more suitable facility for 20 years, saying that there's no reason to do so: those facilities are for "lost causes", and their daughter is going to make a full recovery, finish school, get married and be totally fine.
Working in hospitals got me quite a collection of these stories, but this one I thought was one of the saddest ones.

#15 And since the dear leader's party is banning books, your MIL would seem relatively sane in the coming few years

Source: btchsnack,Martin Péchy

My MIL told me that Pepsi has aborted fetuses in it and that drinking it will make you gay. As I was drinking a Pepsi. Other highlights from her: she doesn’t trust doctors and says they’re all paid off by the government to hide some ominous truth from everyone else.
She believes covid-19 is a hoax and also believes it comes from 5g- how she believes both of them simultaneously is beyond me. She thinks anxiety and depression are myths and that church is the only answer.
She thinks the only reason people don’t like Donald Trump is because he’s against abortion and if it weren’t for that 100% of the populace would adore him. I could go on.
