At an old job I got a concussion and a coworker asked if she could pray for me. My silly ass thought she would do it quietly and away from me. She put her hand on my head babbled some nonsense at me for 45 seconds and I was left thinking I had permanent brain damage.

When I was still a dialysis patient, one of my medical transportation drivers told me to pray and my kidneys would heal. I got pissed off and thought she was crazy for saying something like that. Some people take that advice seriously and end up dead.

My mother in law ended up being diagnosed with stomach cancer and died a horribly painful death. She basically starved to death. One of my co-workers told me that all of her suffering ensured her a place in heaven and that I should be happy. I almost punched her.
