r/Askreddit Who's The Most Out of Touch Person You've Ever Seen?

welcome to our /s Credit where we answer your most burning questions and before I start today's episode I have a very special announcement so every once in a while YouTube will de monetize one of my videos which sucks because I can't publish it I don't know if you're aware of this but if you publish it to monetize video on YouTube it can really screw you up in the algorithm so I end up with these extra videos that took a lot of time and money to create and no one's watching them that's when I got an idea I decided to start a patreon and publish all of my band to monetize YouTube videos on there so if you want to see the episodes that YouTube considers too wild and crazy' for this platform then head over to my Patran and support me for just $5 a month you can support my content and get access to every single banned episode I publish from here on out so head over to patreon.com slash are slash and to everyone who listens to my podcast I'm also publishing mp3s our first ask reddit question is from multi-goal d what's the most severe case of someone being completely out of touch with reality that you've ever seen our first reply is from back to back the pastor of a small town church insisted that members set up the parish hall and provide food and beverages for a hundred and twenty five people after every Sunday service even though the average attendance was only around 20 people week after week month after month much food would be disposed of and large urns of coffee dumped on the sink and because the pastor was in denial about the reality of weekend attendance instead of just tossing all that food why didn't that pastor invite people to eat for free that would have been an effortless way to increase attendance our next reply is from Raven my old boss at the time was a girl of 26 who got 4 million dollars from her mom a year to play with her mom is very wealthy in China her daughter is here trying to be a CEO of a company for funsies I accidentally got a job at that company one day she told us we're all going on a group outing for bonding she took us to an outlet mall four hours away she told the rest of us seven people that she was gonna go show and she'd see us later that was code for don't follow me morons every two hours she let us know she was going to unload her bags at the giant van she rented and what group Texas telling us that we can meet her there to unload as well we all get paid under $50,000 we have nothing to unload by lunch she had proceeded to fill up the van with junk she then asked me where all my new stuff is and I said I'm budgeting right now she goes take out a credit card and go shop that's the American Way seriously okay by 9:00 p.m. her bags were taking up people's seats and they had to sit with her stuff she spent $30,000 the rest of us spent about 70 we were tired and bored and cold to this day I still believe she thinks she did something nice for us and doesn't understand how polarizing and not at all team bonding that was and to that Reverend replies I'm sure there was a lot of team bonding involved just not with her and kaiju raccoon replies to that after a certain income people just lose their effing minds about normal human interactions and expectations you're crazy rich boss story reminded me of a mandatory department meeting my old team had to attend it was three hours and consisted of the upper management and sales leaders talking about how awesome it was when they were all flown to Hawaii to stay at the company owners private resort and then how awesome it was to be flown to Alaska to icefish the company owners private reserve why one guy came back with two thousand dollars worth of vacuum-sealed salmon great times huh nobody cared that my department wasn't involved in sales in any way that we were actively screwing the rest of the National Apartments by being dragged off the phones for three hours and that all of us made just over minimum wage when we complained to our supervisor the upper management told him that we were being ungrateful for the opportunity to be inspired and uplifted by the possibilities in the company our next replies from cath Nelson I we'll never forget the man who angrily told me a wheelchair user with no feet and no prosthetics to go down the stairs if I don't want to wait for the elevator I'd been talking to my friend and mentioned we were going to be a little late because of the huge line and then not a Roman Emperor responds fine I will rolls towards the stairs and just falls down all of them our next replies from with trees parents of a 35 year old woman who was hospitalized after suffering severe anoxic brain damage twenty years ago she's been in the same Ward since barely conscious they refuse 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 our next replies from it's a calamity in college I had a roommate from the most sheltered part of Long Island we met an exchange student from Switzerland and I swear to god she said this in complete seriousness oh wow I didn't know people actually lived in Switzerland I thought they were just banks there our next reply is from the Justin said this was from a regional manager of Starbucks after they removed merit-based raises that could go up to a 5% increase change to a flat 2% increase when she asked if people liked the new race plan I said actually no they make me feel unmotivated with no reason to perform any better than just normal the regional manager said your staff needs to realize working isn't about money well if work isn't about money why are you paying us less if money doesn't matter then why'd you get rid of the 5% raises our next replies from corporate asset 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 into trouble for bouncing checks all over town my mom picked 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 a certain number and then can spend or withdraw up to that amount please teach her kids basic finance note this was like 1996 before it turned into a hole who writes a check any more discussion our next replies from schizos there's a girl at my work that always complains about not making enough because she makes 200 to 300 a paycheck then is always the first to leave early and always shows up late and has other people take her shifts she asked me how I make 600 to 800 dollars a paycheck I said because I work more I'm currently at work taking over her shift she doesn't realize that if you don't work more you'll be paid less our next reply is from oh look shiny my sister she grew up with everything handed to her and literally cried when her first car wasn't the color she wanted she married rich she can't fathom why I can't take off work whenever it suits me and says stuff like I wouldn't ask my boss for a week up I would tell him I'm taking the week off our next replies from crazy little pop-tart I work with a girl who's 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'd ever been there obviously I haven't I told her I've also never been to Japan and that doesn't mean it doesn't exist she complained to management about my intolerance of her beliefs and then gaming legend replies to that I worked with a guy like this basically gravity doesn't exist and the moon is a hologram and we live in some sort of Truman Show dome because that makes so much more sense our next replies from my animals bite my parents paid for half the down payment on my house they pay for our landscaper house cleaner child day care car insurance and give my wife and I a monthly allowance we're completely self-sufficient human beings who even try to give other friends financial advice obviously written in the voice of someone I know I wonder what kind of financial advice they would give out other than just have you tried having richer parents our next replies from stormy Dark Lord of all I had a friend who insisted she was in a relationship with the Sela celebrity whom she met once during a comic convention all the celebrities Instagram and Twitter posts were for her and everything had a meaning behind it when the celebrity got married she said that it was just for the media so she the celebrity could live a quiet life when he didn't do anything for her birthday she had a breakdown she went to therapy not long after our next replies for me Hodja my sister-in-law kicked out by her boyfriend she comes to stay with us for a few days we suggest looking for a flat or a cheap house to rent near us she won't live in a scummy part of town near us she'd like a 3-bit house with a garden in the best part of town she has no savings and isn't sure if she has a job she was a part-time cashier in a supermarket and she stopped going to work when ko became Note she wasn't furloughed the supermarket still opened she's just not going in when I suggested maybe she couldn't afford 500,000 pounds on a family home on her salary she suggested she'd just get a council house disregarding the huge waiting list and the fact that most council properties are in the ghetto parts of town this is just the crust of a deep layer of unhinged fantasy world that she lives in our next replies from Thunder fart my parents neighbor thought her garden was too small for her sons to plan so when she met my parents for the first time the first thing she actually said was can you give me some of your garden so my sons have more space to play in thankfully my parents just said no for context they live in a very expensive neighborhood where houses cost on average from 750,000 pounds to 1 million the gardens in that neighborhood are a lot bigger on average in the majority of gardens in the UK I've never heard a story of someone being as painfully out of touch as that woman and then Opie goes on to clarify that a garden is UK slang for what American would call a backyard our next replies from Henan my step-brother he got into a weird Gnostic religious group and thought he could convert people by talking to them that is harassing them Socrates style except without any ability to carry out a philosophical conversation also assuming that the workplace is a fine occasion to do this we need to get fired from his temp jobs he'd assume it's a conspiracy against enlightenment this is more funny than deluded as a side note but one of the group activities is to have to rewrite the religious book by hand which he diligently did and it wasn't a small book either it turned out he used the wrong color ink which for some reason invalidated the whole thing he got a job in a restaurant as a waiter he assumed for whatever unimaginable reason that the proper way to act for waiters is to bow after taking the order when his supervisor asked him to stop he lectured the supervisor on proper waitstaff manners he wanted to propose to an over fifty year old woman who has until then shown no signs of being interested in him luckily he believed in the tradition to first ask father's permission so he asked his dad who talked him out of it he had an idea to join the military to convert them from the inside at one point he believed that sunrays can sustain you but luckily never really bothered to practice it he's totally against capitalism and wants to live a free life as a wandering philosopher rather than live as a working drone like everyone else however he also believes the working drones and his family should support his noble pursuit while also chastising them for selling out our next replies from a say Mia 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 work from home days myself I know I could drop my kids off at school get into the office by 9:30 and my boss had no issue with it whatsoever others with kids had similar arrived later leave early schedules depending on their childcare after a few years a new CEO comes in she spends a month observing how the office works then calls for a company-wide meeting during the meeting she tells everyone she believes that having a full office 8:00 to 5:00 is the most part of environment and at the start of the next month all work from home was cancelled and she wanted everyone in the office during those set hours no showing up later leaving early a lively debate ensued with discussions of there being very little warning to please a flexibility to concerns of making necessary childcare arrangements especially given that in many cases we couldn't adjust those times plus commuting into Boston sucks after listening to all these arguments she finally responds with the long speech of 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 coming from years ago when my kids were little my husband and I had to hire three nannies to cover all 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 three nannies is a relatable example to her middle-class employees it's pretty clear she's not gonna change her mind our next replies from Gilly Glock I went to a private International School in London as a teenager most kids there had parents working good jobs but in between them were some filthy rich kids with parents in the oil industry or something similar in eighth grade we were talking about our Easter break and my friend from Belgium was talking about how his family had decided last minute to go over there over the break but had decided to drive there because there were no flights available then this Russian billionaire classmate of mine asked him why don't you take a private jet she was so clueless when we started laughing and he pepper replies to that post international schools are prime hunting grounds for out-of-touch people a friend of my mom's was a school counselor at an international school in Indonesia they were organizing a school trip for the 13 year olds top dollar school so top dollar trip at a fancy hotel one of the parents came in and asked her about the toilet situation she replies saying each room has an ensuite so the kids will be fine the mother then replies but who will wipe his bottom turns out this thirteen-year-old kid had a maid who slept at the end of his bed at night and would wipe his privileged but for him I feel sorry for that kid when he's older he's probably gonna have some seriously weird fetishes also if you're rich enough to hire a full-time but wiper why don't you just install a bidet our next reply from septa I knew someone who uh no convincing not only is Pokemon demonic but they exist in real life and there are reported cases of them attacking and harming people that was our sloshed ass
