View Full Version : Have you ever known a crazy person?
So I came across this video of Aileen Wuornos the day before she was executed. I believe this is the lady that the movie Monster was based upon. Here is the video THERE IS SOME LANGUAGE. The reason I show this video to you though, is that I used to deliver pizza with a lady, that was pretty much exactly like this lady. When she is talking about sonic pressure crushing her head, and helicopters coming out of the sky... we used to hear this lady we worked with talk about this stuff ALL the time. Instead of sonic pressure it was always Phase 4 laser pointers that would mess with her head, and little men with green masks that would always shoot her with blow darts, flying crafts that would shine a green light onto her vagina (not kidding), and semi-truck drivers that had an extendable arm that would come out of the truck and throw cars off the road. She was 5-foot nothing and wore a trench coat with a bullet hole in the pocket. Kind of frightening that she was making deliveries to people's homes. Anyway, have you ever known anyone that you were SURE was crazy? I'd bet on my former co-worker being schizophrenic.

Not everyone is born "normal" and that is life. Maybe someday that won't be PC to say and I'll get ban hammer but today I think it is acceptable.
I've met a few crazy people, but no one nearly as crazy as that Aileen Wuornos, that bitch is certifiably nuts-o! Although, I did meet a guy who was in Colorado for a couple years, Navy vet from just after the first Gulf War, had conspiracies out the hooha, 9/11, the Majestic 12, "chemtrails" (he had very limited knowledge on aviation related science), etc. He honestly thought George W. Bush was pure evil, apart of some evil plan to take over the world with his "new world order" and become the de-facto ruler of America for life. Of course I asked how Obama became president and he started spouting some sort of nutcase talk I really couldn't follow. [Whacko]
Everybody experiences different things that push them to different extremes. There is a fine line being genius and crazy. There is a fine line between paranoid and prepared. Even then the eye of the beholder judges differently.
By some, maybe a lot of people, there are people on this very board who are considered paranoid and prepared/equipped for civil war or???

But did you ever know anyone who was crazy?
Several.
Then again I know some liberals who probably think the same of me just because I don't buy the global warming crap.
Yeah...I used to work in a residential care facility in another state. I got to know quite a few people who (when not on their meds) were completely batshit, unsafe, crazy. Of course, when the majority of these folks were on their baseline, you really had no clue they suffered from mental illness.
Ugh liberals. That's not what this thread is really about, but we used to know this lady who was a vegan. We asked her about eating honey once, and she said she didn't like how bees were treated. She went on to explain that she didn't appreciate them being kept in such small spaces.
Yes. Spent 16 years with one until the judge let me get emancipated. Psyho to the core, schizophrenic, manic, and totally manipulative. Happy days when she died.
But did you ever know anyone who was crazy?
Yes, a few
Ya, waiting for the married jokes ;)

I wouldn't have dated half the women I did had I known then what I know now...
I've known a couple people that lots a few marbles.
But (and I may catch shit) but that video didn't make me think she was that crazy. I would have loved to talk to her or your pizza girl...

Hell yes, for over 30 years.
I married her.
Must make me just as crazy.
I used to work with a guy who had some Psych classes in college. He summed it up well:
Everybody is crazy, it's just the state of adjustment your in that counts.
Humans are fairly complex creatures with large brains. A lot can go wrong inside someone's head.
...and to answer the question, yes.
Sent from my electronic leash.

Crazy as in certified, crazy as you're fukin crazy man, crazy as in different ?
Theres a person in the neighborhood, who has a psychological issue, whether she is state certified or not is unknown.
People on this board and elsewhere, think people who don't wear helmets are crazy. We're Gun Nuts, etc.

A few, yeah. My grandmother was renting a room to this really lonely 'smithing student from Florida. Gunsmith school had been put on hold. The guy was working two jobs and had long been complaining about how he didn't get more than a few hours of sleep on any given day. He spent any free time he managed to find couped up in the room not speaking a word to anyone. No girlfriend, no friends to go grab beers with, no hobbies, no exercise.
After a couple of years of this, he started telling my grandmother that my uncle (who took out the basement studio) was taking metal coat hangers, straightening them out, and pushing them through the floor and poking him in his bed at night. He even said, "I know you'll think I'm crazy, but..." He was always a pretty weird guy; he had this listless, spacey stare when he talked. Decent enough bloke, but he really cracked his eggs. Him and my uncle didn't get along as it was, and my grandmother decided she didn't want to risk this loon emptying my uncle's guts out with a .30 caliber.
Crazy? Eh... maybe not, but extreme bipolar disorder... you need to meet my X-wife. That can seem like bat shit crazy at times. It did make for fun random "exercise" sometimes though. The Buck Cherry song crazy bitch, yep, pretty much sums it up.
Wife's sister is bipolar.

Someone that you, with no experience in the field, feel confident would be labed with a specific disorder if they ever found themselves under the focus of a mental health professional. Or, anyone that you feel is worth telling a story about. ZeroTheory had a good example.
The lady I worked with thought that one of the other delivery girls was renting the room next door, and at night, would drill small holes in the wall, put a straw through, and blow bugs into the room that would then bite her.
Very similar to the coathanger thing.
Once I found a cell phone laying in the snow outside and picked it up to look through it, and it was full of pictures of bugs on the wall and bruises on body parts. Didn't take long to figure out whose it was. This lady would call the regional manager and leave messages complaining about random employees messing with her head with their class 4 laser pointers. We'd always have to warn the new management to expect that stuff.
You come to this board every day, Irving. Surely some stand out more tan others. [NoEvil]
I have met several mentally deficient people that I would not want to be alone in a room with.
There are a few people in town that go off their meds and hit the bar. They usually get a free ride to Boulder.
I once knew a pathological liar that could not tell the truth to save his life. Sat in his basement and drank non stop. Does that count?
No one is sane all of the time. Some of us have better control of our demons than others. Some demons cannot be controlled.
I believe I have a fair amount of experience dealing with Emotionally Disturbed People. While on the mid-night shift I used to routinely deal with a man named Paul. He was schizophrenic and had extremely complex delusions. I remember how we would routinely track his ups and downs over the weeks. At some defined point in Paul's physical state, we would contact his family and they would come pick him up to get him help and have him clean up. Once medically "adjusted" Paul would function semi-normally until the side affects of the meds would overwhelm him. He just had to stop taking his meds (according to him). He would go back out onto the streets and we would note his reappearance in all of his usual areas. The cycle would repeat itself again and again. Years later, after Paul didn't reappear, I contacted his family and was advised that Paul was dead. I know how much of a mixed emotion that was for his family.
There, but for the grace of God, go I.
Be safe.

Trot, aren't you the one with that terrible trouble about a horse and girlfriend/wifes mother ???? What you classify the mother as being ??? Some people are just plain mean. Just asking, sounds like you may have some knowledge.
Funny stuff abut the DSM. Homosexuality was a mental illness, then back in the early seventies all of a sudden it was not...Many if not most in the "field" are gay. Just an example of how the DSM gets changes.
There are way to many fancy names in the DSM for just plain stupid......
By the way, how is the horse debacle going ????

I have made the acquaintance of a few weirdos in my life but I don't think I ever really knew anyone that was certifiable as insane.

I had an economics professor in college who went ape shit during finals and was hauled off by the police. During the exam he was going around the room (it was more of an auditorium, maybe 100 people in there) and screaming at students, asking them questions, etc. He started to physically grab and shake a few. We were all pretty freaked out by the guy. Police ended up coming in and dragging him away, kicking and screaming all the way out the door.
Over the summer we got a letter saying that we could either take a pass/fail grade based on our test results throughout the semester, or we could take another final exam and have our grade based on that.

Have you guys met islandermike? loco!
I'm just nuckin futz..[Coffee]
I guess you can say I have bumped into a few.
From my understanding of insanity-doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results would sum up most the politicians today..
But on that note I have met a few that after they address their initial problem and stick to a program,they can be fairly normal.
