To ask? Has anyone heard this one or is it just me who has <erm> interesting neighbours? (It’s all the work of aliens). 😱

So, yesterday I heard some kids playing out the back and then heard someone shouting at them. I assumed it was someone shouting at them to go home but no. When I stuck my head out of the back door there was a man standing there shouting about how this is all a conspiracy and that it’s aliens waiting to get us all.But first ten million of us have to die and then they can come after the rest. Shock.

Someone else came out of a house and told him to go home at which point he replied “God bless love.” Bit of a contradiction that, no? Grin

He sound mentally ill to me.

Lots of people believe in conspiracy theories etc even if I don't but very few would randomly start shouting them at strangers especially children.

Oh we have a local crazy who tells us it’s god punishing us especially if you are gay, in a mixed race relationship or non white. He likes to shout threw a megaphone some days.
If it’s the evening he normally just shouts fuck you, at everyone.

I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories. However, there's nothing unreasonable about the observation that, should any aliens be on the look out for an opportunity to stage a hostile invasion, now would be an ideal time. It's very arrogant to assume we are the only intelligent life-forms in the universe.

Step brother is a bit like this but it’s down to weed and alcohol abuse induced MH.

He’s convinced we’re all in some kind of apocalypse and likes to rant at me on the phone about it for 15 mins occasionally Hmm

I try to avoid him for obvious reasons.

A fairly well known flat earther got arrested recently for shouting at small children in the school playground (back in the olden days when kids went to school).

He was yelling that their teachers were lying to them etc and wouldn't stop.

Not mentally ill in an obvious way, but that kind of obsession surely counts as an illness.

Orangeblossom78 · 10/04/2020 13:11

We had one of these too the other night shouting at about 11pm - going on about Buddha and other stuff, and how it was going to be months of Sundays etc, think he was a bit drunk.

Poppi89 · 10/04/2020 13:11

@MorganKitten That's awful!! Has anyone called the police or MH services?

mummmy2017 · 10/04/2020 13:30

I must admit, we were wondering last night about when it would be UFO, as a theory.

CatBatCat · 10/04/2020 13:32

Best one yet is they need us to all stay indoors because theyre changing the batteries in the birds. Grin

Orangeblossom78 · 10/04/2020 15:11

I suppose it is maybe less scary to believe this stuff than the reality in a way. Like a kind of psychological denial perhaps.

What nonsense- everyone knows they do this at night, as normal.

Orangeblossom78 · 10/04/2020 15:23

And don't get on to the mad 5G burning etc.

TheQueef · 10/04/2020 15:31

Aw our nutter is still shouting about the Portland Down in Wuhan and the ransom we need to pay China for the antidote.

He used to have a shout every four weeks or so, get barred from the co-op and then quieten down a while.
This virus has sent him in to overdrive and now we have two shouts each day. I wouldn't mind a subject change to aliens Blush

MorganKitten · 10/04/2020 16:19

@Poppi89 he’s a religious cracy, not a mental health crazy. Police have been called on him before nothing much happens.
Wear a band shirt and your supporting the devil, another religion and god will strike you down.

Poppi89 · 10/04/2020 16:43

That would really scare me! I have seen those types before but they've never been local to me so luckily they are a rare sight. I would hate to have to see/hear that regularly.

MorganKitten · 10/04/2020 17:00

@Poppi89 I used to play roller derby in a sports centre that also rented a room to a church group, every weekend we’d be called satanists for how some of the girls looked are dressed. This dude is the same.

Poppi89 · 10/04/2020 17:47

What!! I have heard of the odd person but I thought they had MH issues, I didn't realise there were groups of them!
It's worrying because you can see where these far-right ideas come from and it only takes one person to act on it and attack someone.

Orangeblossom78 · 10/04/2020 18:24

I think it is Greta Thunberg, she has cast a spell to get all the planes grounded and the air clear (only joking). Grin

Poppi89 · 10/04/2020 18:37

Hahaha I'm suprised no one has blamed the environmentalists lol
