'My house isn't that big, I only have 6 bedrooms': 20+ People who were wildly out of touch with reality

When you think about the phrase "out of touch," one specific person in your life probably pops into your head. Maybe it's that one nepo-hire coworker who whines about how bad the traffic was in the Hamptons this weekend. Or maybe it's a grandparent who can't go a day without telling their grandkids to spend money they don't have on items they really do not need. There are all types of people who are blissfully oblivious… just ask the hundreds of people who replied to this person's r/AskReddit question: "What's the most you've seen someone be so out of touch with reality?"

One person shared that they knew a woman who would take the loose change out of her clothing while doing laundry. She'd throw that money right in the trash, which horrified those around her. Since she came from a wealthy background, she just thought that no one bothered to save loose change (I mean, it does add up after a while!). There are a bunch of amusing anecdotes here, scroll below to read them all. 

Next, at this workplace, management declared that "no reasons for late are accepted," but it just led to their workers coming in exceptionally late without a care.
