Breatharian colleague

[Gffbjjgfddbjkkm]

Aibu to think that he must be lying? He's healthy-looking and not too thin. Never seen him eat or drink.

There's no way that he exists on thin air.

Surely it depends on how long you do it for...? I mean I could say I've been a breatharain for the past 8 hours as I've been asleep and consumed no food or water during that time.

Of course he’s lying.

Agree with this. The most I’d be saying to him is “that’s nice” and thinking he was a right plonker.

Well what did he say that he is lying about? Not what people have assumed what did he say?

And even if he is lying why os that an issue? Sure odd to lie but people do

I wouldn’t be putting him on the rota for too far ahead

I was once in hospital for a week, the first 4 days I was nil by mouth. I was also on a drip.

So can I claim to have been a Breatharian for 4 days?

His pants are very much on fire. Else he won't be your colleague for long, so don't get attached.

I think the flaming pants might belong to the OP.

Or, if we aren't allowed to say that, his/her pelvic-zone encompassing underwear is in a state of combustion.

😂😂😂

Are you sure he isn’t brethren? Then you wouldn’t see him eat as they aren’t allowed to eat around non brethren

I fear not. All your nutrition and hydration must come from the energy of the universe via the air, or something. So being on a drip doesn't count.

We’re all taking the piss at what this cult is about but the beliefs have been linked to deaths of people who did try to actually live on air and sunlight. So if you become worried about your colleague’s physical or mental health can you speak in confidence to their manager? It’s good they seem normal weight at the moment.

I like the way they call it 'consuming nothing but air' as though breathing is a choice.

Absolutely batshit 🙄

I'm sitting in the CAB office trying really hard not to laugh out loud!

Yes he's lying. I'd keep a close eye on him - people are rarely quite this weird / delusional / dishonest in one respect without being mad / dodgy / downright dangerous in another.

Have you seen him go to the loo? I mean, not actually GO, but enter the gents' ?

But this man claims that he also doesn’t eat in private.

Do they actually eat the air? Would that not give them terrible wind? Do burps count as poos for them?

So many questions.

Are you allowed to drink water if you condense it out of the air yourself?

My parents know someone who claims to be one. Every time they have seen her, she has even or drank. She claims this is 'to make others feel comfortable' or 'be espectful to the host'.

They often talk about thier plan to invite her over and serve a roast to see of she eats the lot out of politeness.

Your colleague is also a bullshitarian! What an absolute load of old cobblers. I have never heard of anything like this in my life. FFS some people need to get a life and stop being such twats.

Ok, I'm sure he's lying, but he's weird. He never, ever goes to the loo at work.

His breatharianism came out because he couldn't tell a new starter where the loo is. He's worked there for three years, but had never been.

Nobody at work has ever seen him eat or drink anything.

Weird.

Was he joking/ being facetious?

Of course he'd be dead if he never ate at drank anything.

It's not good for your kidneys to pee that infrequently. Silly man.

That he is bretharian. It's not scientifically possible.

It's a nonsense. There are a lot of mentally ill people advocating batty things in the online space. My brother who was mentally unwell found this very attractive and made him self repeatedly unwell following Breatharian principles. When he first became interested in this in the early 1990's he would email the advocate Wiley Brooks who lived in California to get advice because he could never achieve synronisation of his body to the earth, he kept on losing weight. Wiley would email back to say whenever this happened to her that she would liquidise a bunch of bananas and take a drink! Wiley Brooks was eating all the time but was in denial. Complete con woman.
