29 Clear Instances of Someone Living in Total Denial

‘There are no gay people in India!’
29 Clear Instances of Someone Living in Total Denial

There’s no good way to go about being in denial, but asking a urologist for a third vasectomy is definitely among the worst ways. 

The surgeon performed the big snip on a patient three separate times, but the patient’s wife continued to get pregnant afterwards, which he delusionally attributed to botched vasectomies. On his fourth visit to the clinic, the doctor had a heart-to-heart with him: “There’s nothing left of your vas deferens. Have you considered she may be cheating on you?”

While this seems obvious, there are more extreme situations where people refused to face the facts, including a lesbians exist.

I also had to find out through extended family about his accident, because she didn't want give us the satisfaction of being
