30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

I've used cellphones since they first came out - big, heavy, a short antenna for the city and a longer one for rural areas. But once they made the switch to touch screens (both on cellphones and laptops) I cannot use them. My fingers don't seem to register on them. After swiping an icon 5 or 6 times I have one of my granddaughters or anyone else do it for me. Had to exchange a touch screen laptop with one that didn't have that "feature". I or my fingers must be dead.

If friends and neighbors cannot be trusted, and one is thought to be a terrorist, what does she think about strangers that walk past her house.

Common sense isn't really one of their best characteristics.

I hope you regain your sense of smell ASAP and don't get any other problems that some have had crop up months later. Long COVID is nothing to sneeze at (no pun intended). It is terrible that it only takes one person who refuses to believe reality to infect their entire family.

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

Zombies. I find it amusing when they say the virus started in a lab in China, and in the next breath will say it was all a Democratic hoax - that there is no virus. Either there is or there isn't. And what would the Democrats have to do with the virus affecting people all over the world? That is going to get them elected? It's amazing some of the ridiculous c**p these people come up with. Maybe they should tell their surgeon that he/she doesn't need to wear a surgical mask while working on them. You know, since masks don't work (as they say). The best one that I still laugh at just thinking about it is where one woman - when told to put on a mask - was screaming, "Do you want me to infect myself?" Huh?

Oh yeah. While in my workshop I turned on the radio (AM) to catch the weather and heard a commercial for a beautiful opportunity to make all kinds of money. And the owner of the company stated he found the best and easiest way to make all the money you would want and have a "residual income" as well. The website he advertised was a shell company for Agway. So, Amway is still at it trying to sucker people in. I imagine they're successful at doing so, otherwise this add wouldn't be on the air many times a day, day after day, week after week, month after month.

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

Well, if he doubles up on his efforts he'll lose $2600/month... but on the bright side, he'll be making $400/month. Wow! You think after 5 years of losing money something would click inside his head. Or was that clicking noise his the gears in his brain slipping?

No, this person is one of those "gimme gimme" and will jump at any chance to try to get money out of their ignorance.

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

They're a-holes. Why would they bash the very person that was allowing them to get the hours they needed? You should have not volunteered to give up your hours. They would have changed their tune when they were the ones getting sent home w/o pay. At least you don't have to worry about getting sick again. You don't have pets that you bring there I hope. If these people would do what they did to a human being, imagine what they would do to their pets.

That's an exception when someone does what your wife did - build her own company. It's those CEOs that get hired to run an already established company that put in less time, but get paid exorbitant salaries (and stocks, and other perks) that D was talking about. Glad to hear your wife's corporation is doing good, but running one's own business does require a more active participation. Hopefully your wife takes needed breaks away to unwind.

Like the Baltimore Harbor tunnel and other underwater tunnels? There are 46 underwater tunnels around the world. Here's a link to the 10 longest. https://www.therichest.com/luxury-architecture/the-10-longest-underwater-tunnels-in-the-world/

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

Isn't or wasn't the tunnel also fondly called "the Chunnel"? There was an old lady from Gloustershire I used to correspond with. She sent me a book on the tunnel which also had a good number of photographs in it. The boring machines were cool. The book was printed just after the tunnel was completed. I'll have to see where I put that book now. It's worth reading again - for the umpteenth time.

OMG! I knew an adult that did this very same thing. He had to take out a loan into order to pay off all his debts... or go to jail. The worst part was he had a large attorney bill on top of everything else. Before that he always paid for everything in cash... no problems.

That would be a never-ending series. But I'd imagine we'd hear a lot of funny reasons why they can't seem to find the edge. Most likely they'd say they were tricked into walking in circles (on the flat earth). lol

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

I've heard some say we never traveled to the moon because of the Van Allen Radiation Belt that's surrounding the Earth. Others said we never landed on the moon because in the photos there were no stars. Ah... 1960's camera shutters were not able to focus on the stars while at the same time focusing on the astronauts just in front of them. And if they had kept the shutter open long enough to capture the light of the stars, everything in the foreground would have been washed out. Even if I take a photo of the moon with a fast shutter stop, no stars show up in the photo.

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

Oh, they believe it alright.

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

They'd probably tell you we get night and day because the flat earth "flips" over.

30 Delusional And Completely Out-Of-Touch Things People Heard Others Say (New Answers)

Do they also believe the sun, moon and other planets are flat? I've never heard that mentioned before - either way.

Karen Tries To Maliciously Comply By Paying In Bags Of Coins, But Repair Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Her

In Denmark you are entitled to pay in cash. Probably because not everybody has the option to pay in another fashion, e.g. children to young to have a credit card, and some people cannot figure them out (e.g. non-tech-savy elderly people) and denying someone a way to buy things would create a major mess. However there is a limit of maximum 25 of the same type of coins to avoid harasment. I guess that the rules were set like that in order to make sure that you could still use the profit from a tips jar to buy stuff. But going right to the limit, still makes quite a bag of coins if you have to pay for something medium priced, and sorting the coins to count them still requires a bit of effort. I learned that when a made such a bag to pay of a parking ticket for a "time violation" where the guard probably saw me leave the car but instead of having a bit of courtesy wrote a ticket on a technicality right after I left it. If you cannot be a little flexible, don't count on me making it easy

Karen Tries To Maliciously Comply By Paying In Bags Of Coins, But Repair Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Her

I had a mentor who started as a bank teller in the 30s advanced to manager, and after WWII eventually became bank president. Back when he was a teller, a disagreeable customer did something similar- made their last mortgage payment by dumping out a wheel-barrow full of change- pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters in the center of the bank lobby on a Saturday morning- Ever the quick-thinking salesman, Bill called up EVERY boy-scout and girl-scout leader he knew> Then he rushed to the basement and started tossing boxes of "collect all the coin" books up the stairs- Even called up all the other branches to send over all the coin-books they had. It took about 2 hours, but they ended up with every kid in town either finishing off their coin-collection, or STARTING a coin collection (and about 50% of their parents opening checking accounts to boot)

Karen Tries To Maliciously Comply By Paying In Bags Of Coins, But Repair Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Her

We have a law in my country that means you can refuse ridiculously large payments in coins (unless by prior arrangement)

Karen Tries To Maliciously Comply By Paying In Bags Of Coins, But Repair Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Her

People tends to forget that you have the right to pay in pennies since it's a legal tender but person who excepts the payment also has the right to count them all and make sure your payment includes every penny of the bill. I don't mind counting pennies, I am getting paid to count it.

Karen Tries To Maliciously Comply By Paying In Bags Of Coins, But Repair Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Her

here is where i finally confess: i did this with a $215.00 bill at the dentist. my son had a dental emergency & before the dentist began the work i told him that i couldn't pay that day but my payday was at the end of the week. he said no problem and did the work. two days later i get a call from the office manager telling me that she was going to charge me with theft of services since i didn't pay the day the work was done. i told her that the dentist had agreed to wait until friday (two days away) but she said (literally) "he may be the dentist but i am the manager and his wife so payment is due at time of service." it was her attitude that pissed me off. so, yes, i got $215 in pennies, carted them in there. she told me the same as this guy-she had to count them & wouldn't give me a receipt until she did or i could pay w/check or cash. told her i'd wait, sat down, pulled my knitting out of my tote, my thermos w/coffee and let her count away. it took a long time.

Karen Tries To Maliciously Comply By Paying In Bags Of Coins, But Repair Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Her

Generally, if you pay in pennies out of anger or some misguided sense of retribution, you're not inflicting any inconvenience on the entity you are actually angry with, you are inflicting an inconvenience on some low-level employee who had nothing to do with it and you're just a jerk.

Karen Tries To Maliciously Comply By Paying In Bags Of Coins, But Repair Shop Owner Turns The Tables On Her

She wouldn't have been able to pull a stunt like that in the UK, and I am sure in other countries too. In the UK the Coinage Act 1971 states that 1p & 2p coins (bronze) are not legal tender for payments above 20p. Sure you can try it and i would generally think most people wouldn't bat an eyelid at payments of a few pounds being made in bronze, but it is at the discretion of the shop[ owner.

Stories about these kinds of mental health disorders or decline are so difficult for the patient and their families to deal with. I only had to endure 11 days of similar issues with my father, due to a brain injury, when I was 23 years old. It was excruciating and I can't imagine how people cope with these issues affecting their loved ones for an extended period of time. My heart goes out to them. These types of concerns with people definitely don't fit in with these posts.

I worked with a dementia sufferer, who had the same problem. The care home had to paint his bathroom mirror black, because he tried to attack the "strange man in the room, who wouldn't stop staring at him".
