“They Were Being Serious”: 79 Times People Laughed Something Off And Got A Reality Check
People don’t always tell the truth. We exaggerate, ironize, and even lie, so over time, we develop a “radar” that helps us detect when something feels off. But it’s not one hundred percent effective.
Redditor Holiday-Surround7075 asked others to share the times they heard something so unbelievable, they assumed it had to be a joke... only to realize the person was being completely serious. From wild animals at work to odd personal beliefs, these stories show just how unpredictable everyday life can be.

A couple of months ago I was coming back home from work and there was a massive traffic jam, which is not uncommon. On the exit from the highway cars were in a standstill as far as the eye could see. I was on a bike so I started weaving through them and I pass a car and it starts honking erratically and trying to move to the front. I didn't think much of it, either some [jerk] thinking his time is more important than ours or an emergency. Can't know so I don't make assumptions. But I look back and I realise that the guy is honking and yelling at me specifically. Before I can even understand what he's saying a guy jumps out of the passenger seat, with his arm wrapped in his shirt with blood everywhere, clearly in work clothes from construction or something simillar, and he tells me that his hand has literally been cut off and he needs to get to the hospital fast and the car's stuck in traffic so he wanted me to give him a ride.
I was honestly in shock but I let him on and blasted off to the hospital. I even saw a cop on the way and gave him the quick rundown, hoping he'd go up front and open the way but the cop didn't care that much he just said "just go, run a red if you have to". Well I did get him to the hospital and I did run a couple of red lights, after checking of course. Didn't even get his name or learn what happened afterwards. I hope he got to keep his hand.

A lot of these are pretty dark.
My first thought was just the time when a coworker ran up to me in the hall and said, "hey, you wanna see a live baby possum?" and I obviously said yeah, and then she did indeed show me a live baby possum sleeping in her sweater pocket.

I used to lead a fitness group and had a lady tell me she couldn’t work out with me anymore because she was allergic to exercise…it was making her face all red and she was sweaty and breathing hard.
I laughed because I thought she was joking.
She was not.

A sedentary lifestyle could very possibly lead to a heart attack that will make her face all red, her body sweaty, and certainly make breathing hard as she's gasping for air.

Worked with this woman who was super messy, but really sweet and fun to work with she found out her husband was cheating on her and said that she “was going to light his truck on fire like Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale.” We all laughed not thinking she was actually serious and was just saying that in the heat at the moment.
Well……. I wake up the next day to a text from her sister saying that she got arrested for lighting his truck on fire and she loaded it up with all of his belongings before she did it. She had zero regrets.

I once had a flat earther insist to me, an Australian, that Australia wasn’t a real place and all “Australians” were paid actors. It was all some big conspiracy to hide the fact the earth is flat apparently. He was otherwise a smart and personable guy, but 100% believed I was an actor being paid to pretend Australia was real. I walked away and left him to it.

Talking to a conspiracy freak is like talking to a paper bag. It's a frustrating, one-sided conversation, so why torment yourself.

He believes in dragons though, because ‘every culture has them.’

I used to sell cars. I had a guest who we got as far as the pencil and saw the price and said “I don’t believe in taxes. Can you take them off?”
I laughed and thought it was a joke. But they were very serious and didn’t think it was at all funny. Myself and my manager had to explain that we’re legally required to collect sales tax and couldn’t just “take it off.” They ended up deciding not to buy.

When my sister's partner looked to me after talking about some space science stuff and said: "You don't believe in NASA do you?"
And than I proceeded to have the wildest conversation of my life where I learned he's a flat-earther and began explaining the whole thing to me, from go pros and plane windows make the horizon look curved to Antartica is actually an ice wall, and doesn't exist, to the map the UN uses in their logo is the real map of earth.
I was blown away and could not believe I had a 3 hour conversation with a real person about the earth being flat.
Edit: want to be clear. I am NOT a flat earther. I am not sure if i made that clear or not. I am a very science-loving person who couldn't believe my smart sister was with a flat earther. It just blew my mind.

Was taking blood from a patient. Very pleasant middle-aged man, telling me about his work (skilled craftsman). Once I’d finished taking blood the safety mechanism on the needle failed and I stuck myself with the needle I’d just used to bleed him. I told him it had happened and explained someone would need to come in and ask him some questions, take a couple extra samples as a result. He agreed.
Then he said “With a bit of luck you’ve got some of my blood. I’ve figured out a cocktail that makes me immortal, so maybe you’re now immortal as well from my blood”.

I was awoken in the middle of the night by huge, loud banging on my door. My then boyfriend at the time huddled with me to the door as we investigated, only to see my dad and uncle stumbling around in the front yard. I go out there to yell at them for scaring the [hell] out of us until I jump back to see a large animal, way bigger than my dad or uncle, right next to them.
It’s a donkey, a burro, not more than a few months old, now tied to the palm tree in front of my house. I ask what’s happening and my dad shushes me and tells me I need to watch it. I laughed at first, but when I saw the water bowl they brought along for it, I was confused of why I was babysitting a donkey, but my uncle begs me to take care of Butter, which I learn is the name of the donkey. I ask where they got a donkey drunk at three in the morning but my dad reiterates not to ask questions, and to take care of Butter. I protest but they leave, where it’s several hours until two girls knock on the door asks to remove Butter, and takes it away.
I found out later that my uncle worked at some animal sanctuary, where Butter’s mom unfortunately passed away. They were going to send Butter to another state to be with other orphaned donkeys, but my uncle, being so in love with Butter, stole him with the intentions on hiding it at my house until they could get someone else to take it. Butter now lives on a farm where my uncle can visit him weekly, and I get to tell people I was unintentionally involved in donkey theft. Good times.

One time in middle school a kid said his dad was a famous baseball player and gave his name. Even though he had the same last name as the player and it was somewhat uncommon, I didn’t really believe him. This kid was scrawny, didn’t really appear to be an athlete at all.
Found out he was telling the truth a couple months later when he was on my little league team and his dad showed up at our first practice. Kid was a crazy good shortstop.

My colleague said he wanted to quit his job and travel around the country for a year in an RV-type vehicle with his wife and four daughters, one of whom is a toddler, the others all being under 10. He didn't have the savings for it so he said they would "trade favors" with people along the way for money or food.
I thought it was just a "distant dream"-type fantasy we were discussing but he actually quit his job last week to do it. I truly pity his kids. They should be in school having normal lives, but instead they're going to be dragged around away from home for a year, probably being filmed for social media clout on the daily.

His wife went along with the pipe dream, so she'll probably home-school them. Regardless, I consider this neglect because they never took the time to think about the effect on their kids.

I told my ex-girlfriend a story about something that once happened to me. I was at a party, talking to a group of people. For some reason, one of the girls in the group brought up Africa and the “African Americans” there. I got really confused about what she meant, and then it turned out she thought all black people in the world were called African Americans. She then shamed me and called me racist for referring to people as “black”.
My ex-girlfriend got really upset with me because she thought the same thing. At first, I was not sure whether she was trying to prank me, so I laughed it off. That only made it worse, because she was completely serious.

I had a coworker tell me she thought she was being scammed. I asked her to tell me about it. She said she met someone on Facebook and they were flirting a bit and that she needed to download an app to continue talking. She then proceeded to tell me about how they asked her to download another app and now he’s acting all weird asking about all her personal information… I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I told her she should have know it was a scam when they asked you to download an app, and in that moment I understood why scammers continue to send those messages and phone calls. People really are that stupid.

Stepped into an art gallery to escape the pouring rain in Montreal. The gallerist looked up to greet me (us, I was with a boyfriend at the time) and reacted as if I was a ghost. He literally burst into tears and explained I looked exactly like the love of his life who’d [lost her life] in a traffic accident 30 years ago…. I was freshly 30. This man was so rattled that I couldn’t help but believe him. She’d been on a bike when hit by a truck. I hugged him, he was lovely. He gave me an umbrella, after a time, and we left. I think of him often.

I helped with AV (and therefore frequently low-level tech related to the users in those rooms) at a large office in the city.
I was called to a training style room with tiered rows and iMac's built into each station. There was a mid-40's or 50's professionally dressed lady who called me over in the middle of the presentation, pointed to her screen and said she wanted to "move that, to that".... I was confused so said "Are you talking about the file on the screen? You want to move that file into that folder?" and she said NO, "the thing, move that thing to there."
There was a long pause as I tried to compute what she was asking, solid 20 seconds and I realized.... "Are you..... wanting to move the mouse pointer to click on and open that file?"
There was a long pause, and I reached across her and picked up the mouse that was by her right hand, and patiently said "Well if you hold this mouse with your hand, you can move it to control the curser and..." and she said "I KNOW HOW TO USE A MOUSE" and then adjusted her body language away from me, clearly communicating I'd been 'dismissed'.
This was in 2017.

When I was as working at a library someone asked if we still carried books. I thought they were joking, particularly because they had to pass multiple tables full of books to reach the desk and you could literally see almost all of our shelves from the front desk with the building's lay out, but they were serious. They thought everything were just blank display pieces and that we didn't actually carry books anymore.

Where do I start...
1. When I was in college, a guy who lived on my floor was convinced that the USSR was going to invade the US and therefore, to help, he learned Russian and joined the NRA to learn how to shoot guns. He was seriously disappointed when USSR fell apart.
2. Same college, I knew a girl named Agatha who was called "Saint Agatha" by everyone because she was not only not intimate with anyone, she felt that anything beyond shaking hands was going to send her to hell. After she graduated from college and moved to Florida, she [slept] with hundreds of men and women in course of a year.
3. A few years back, a colleague kept telling me how Obama had crashed the US stock market. When I showed him the numbers from Yahoo finance app on my phone, he claimed that Yahoo was run by liberals and they were manipulating the data to show Obama in positive light.

I was interviewing someone for a VP position in our company... someone that would have reported to me in a field that is generally very well-represented by intelligent, educated women.
With me were, in fact, two women (working in this field) and our GM.
Normally I despise standard HR questions but, for fun, I asked the candidate the usual "what was one of your challenges... blah blah".
The next thing I know, he's telling me about the time he had to "correct his wife" but "not too much" and "she always understands my point of view eventually". I'm sorry to say that after confirming with my team after the interview ... yeah, he was talking about physically correcting her.

I had to do community service for a school project in high school. I ended up doing it at a charity ran by multiple different faith churches that give furniture, and clothes to the needy for free.
It was during winter, and there was a lot of ice surrounding the building. The guy who ran the warehouse told me, and another guy to go get more sand from the dump because they ran out. While i was there for a school project, it was mainly adults doing court ordered community service for whatever crimes they committed.
The guy who i got paired with was an alcoholic that got a dui, and i could tell he wasn't all there. Didn't stop me from getting in a car with him against my better judgment though lol.
On the way to the dump, he started talking about a conspiracy he believed. The gist was basically our state government is hiding the fact that mountain lions exist in our state. He kept saying that the government was hiding their existence, and covering up mountain lion attacks.
I don't know why it mattered tbh, and why would the government hide it? It was one of the most insane things I've ever heard.

I live in Massachusetts, and our state government actually is keeping the existence of mountain lions on the down low...mainly so that idiots don't go off into the woods trying to shoot one.

I was at work the day after my now ex husband was rather publicly arrested. I worked in a customer facing job where I saw exactly the same people daily. I had someone come through when there were no other customers and asked me if I’d “heard about what happened in town yesterday.” Much as I didn’t have the patience to deal with stupidity I usually just rolled my eyes on, I decided I’d see where this particular conversation went.
Well, she apparently knew who I was but not who I *actually* was. Apparently, I was sitting in the county jail (on the other side of the county), I’d been forced to trick my husband into coming home (we weren’t living together at the time and hadn’t for eight months. We weren’t even living in the same town), and my kids were in the care of CPS (they were at my home with my cousin at that moment.) So I asked if she was sure that was what happened. Yes, she was. Was she positive it happened? Absolutely. Certain? Completely. At that point, I’d already cashed her out and given her her change so I didn’t care if she looked like an idiot.
“I’m the wife, I was at work right here when it all went down, I’m obviously not sitting in jail, and right now both my kids are at home with my cousin.” And just stared at her. She went white and scurried away. I didn’t see her at lunch for quite a bit so I don’t know if she started bringing her own or had someone pick it up.
I like to use this as an example about why not to gossip about someone you don’t actually know. It’s really fascinating to hear a wildly exaggerated story about you, being told to you, by a person who doesn’t know you., though.

Later that night I had a young woman with no prior history that had shut down after a severe manic episode. She didn't respond to any attempts to communicate and just stared through you. She was sitting on the stretcher and I sat in the seat behind her doing paperwork. I don't know why but I started saying the Our Father. Halfway through she was flipped over facing me and said "They said don't do that."

At a dog park in LA few years ago. It was night time and there was just me and a guy with his puppy. My dog was like 2. The two dogs were playing and the guy walked to the middle of the park and my dog ran into his leg. He said "you should be more careful with your dog. He's dangerous." I laughed because I figured he must be joking about two puppies playing and running into him while he stood in the middle of the park looking at his phone. He started getting more and more irritated. He said I was "lying."
I basically just said he was being ridiculous. He started recording me and saying I was denying that my dog hurt him. I think he was trying to scam me somehow but I told him he was a stupid [jerk] and we left the park. Very bizarre interaction.

I can't help wondering if everyone has delusions of this magnitude. My delusion is that Hilbert's first problem has been solved. LOL.
