People Reveal the 30 Most Shockingly Out Of Touch Things They’ve Overheard

These days, it’s not hard to find someone who just doesn’t seem to understand what world we’re living in. It can be frustrating to communicate with someone so out of touch with reality.

People are sharing examples of this in an AskReddit thread and it’s eye-opening.

What is the most severe case of someone being completely out of touch with reality you’ve ever seen?

Streamer that I watched a couple of times before his behavior drove me to stop. It was a shame because when he was actually gaming, I liked the content, but his attitude drove you up the wall (and by attitude, mean raging - back when watched him, the rest of the events in this post hadn't happened yet). But the out of touch with reality part - he talked about his girlfriend on stream a few times. Nothing wrong with that, except his "girlfriend" was a female streamer who lived in Europe he was from the states and he'd never actually met her in his life. She got wind of this through shared viewers and debunked the story on her stream, saying she'd never even interacted with him. This caused him to go nuts and start stalking the girl wherever he could, causing her to eventually stop streaming, delete all her social media and so on. After his Twitch account was banned for this, he eventually managed to convince Twitch to un-ban him and then did the same thing to a different girl. Now he's been permanently banned from Twitch as a result of this again and keeps raging about it on Twitter. Just to clarify - I don't follow this guy, but someone posts about him on the game subreddits every now and then, which is why know the story. Some people are just bananas.

One bully of a boss asking the three people who suffered most from his behaviour if they would want to move to a new employer with him as a team. Hmm.... how about "no way in hell"?

was at a bar and some guy was giving an impromptu lecture of why millennials are so broke and blamed it all on us being lazy students who don't want to work and go to school. When asked what he did he was a property owner and owned a few apartment buildings. Then someone chimes up with he fact he doesn't own any properties he manages them for his uncle who pays him to do nothing all day.

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 need to realise working isn't about money"
