When you get engaged, there's apparently a high possibility that you come to believe the world has stopped and started revolving entirely around you. This is not true for everyone, but it's certainly true for some folks, especially this bride. She saw a random stranger knitting in the hotel lobby on the weekend of her wedding and straight-up assumed she was knitting a white veil for her big day tomorrow. When the Redditor laughed and politely responded that she wasn't a guest of the wedding and that this veil was simply for herself, the bride completely lost it.

Our hearts not only go out to the Redditor who had to endure this bizarre interaction, but also we're thinking of the mother of the bride, who saw the whole freakout unfold and had to pick up the pieces and apologize on her daughter's behalf. Yikes! For more stories like this, here's one about an employee who proved his Karen manager wrong.
