Anyone who works with computers for a living is crazy. It's just that there are so many people out there with autism now people consider it a form of mental retardation, not "crazy" like it was a decade ago.

All these suggestions only appear to have the craziest people because they are in places where other people might come in contact with them.
You will see the truth the day you meet a lighthouse keeper. There's not many of them around, and they don't interact with others very often. That's why none of you have suggested them yet. You just haven't seen the real crazy.

vanilla is a pro flavour and is the exact opposite of neutral, I don't know why it's shorthand for that

Sales or language teachers at public schools.

Worked in sales for several months and I had to quit because I was convinced everyone there was crazy. All smiling, cheering, lots of "HEY BUDDY YOU'RE GONNA MAKE SO MUCH MONEY".

Teachers, I've seen several over the years which I'm certain were also batshit insane. The kind of teachers who are always smiling while having these dead eyes staring at you.

i don't know if this is confirmation bias or what, but i have literally never had or known an english teacher who was well-adjusted and normal

I'm a teacher in an area that is low stress area (no standardized testing for my area, kids want to be in my class, etc.), but once you eliminate the "electives" teachers, the rest are all a bit off kilter. We have a couple English teachers who regularly blow the gently caress up in the middle of class and/or cry during the entire passing period. One of them just left in the middle of class one day and a student called the office to let them know they were unsupervised. The math teachers are all just a little odd and the special ed teachers are borderline mental. They had to let one go last year because she'd walk down the hall having loud arguments with herself.

Professional Football players. It's the brain damage.

Teachers. The guy that said the women are narcissists that think they suffer more than anyone else is spot on. The males are crazy too though.

Construction workers. The guy that said they're all on drugs is correct, except it should be noted that most are on hard drugs.
