Everybody has come up with an excuse at least once in theirlives. Most people do it to steer clear of specific situations or get away with things they’ve done. The idea behind making up such justifications is to simply avoid facing consequences. The problem is sometimes folks get a bit toocreativewith their excuses.
This is exactly what a man did when his girlfriend found out about his affair. Although he claimed to be straight, he had cheated with another man, so he came up with an incredible story to justify his actions.

Some people get up to all sorts of shenanigans on work trips that their partners know nothing about, and this guy took that to the extreme

She was shocked because her boyfriend had always identified as straight, but when she confronted him about it, he confirmed that he had slept with a man

Things were even more shocking when he blamed his actions on Utah’s altitude, claiming that it suddenly turned him gay and that as soon as he returned, he was “back to being straight”

The woman wanted to break up with her cheating boyfriend, but he said that it wasn’t his fault because the high altitude temporarily altered his brain chemistry
Try to think back to every excuse you’ve ever made up in your life; most likely, none of them can match up to this guy’s crazystory. That’s probably what his girlfriend thought, too, when he tried to justify his cheating. She didn’t believe that he’d have an affair with a man and honestly expected him to say the entire thing was nonsense.
Now, Utah is considered ahigh-altitudestate since its average elevation is6,100 feetabove sea level. The cheating boyfriend’s justification was that such elevations can alter people’s brain chemistry and make them do things they would not normally do. He even got mad at his girlfriend for questioning him and said she shouldn’t blame him for something “medical and scientific” that he couldn’t control.
This is probably one of the greatestexcusesever given, and there’s a very tiny element of truth to the actual idea. High altitudes do sometimes have apowerful effecton people and can impact a person’s mood, behavior, and mental performance. Some folks become irritable, anxious, or withdrawn, but so far, there have been no reports of individuals accidentally becoming gay.

The boyfriend’s ridiculous excuse for cheating had noscientificbasis whatsoever, no matter how hard he tried to convince his partner otherwise. He also acted like she was being “rude and weird” for questioning him about his temporarily altered “brain chemistry.”
It’s obvious that he was trying togaslighther and divert her attention from his affair. Experts say people who gaslight others often refuse to take responsibility for their actions and also manipulate the focus of discussions. This is exactly what the man was doing, and he did it so well that he made the poster question reality.
Scientists keep discovering new things about the universe and about life itself. We only hope they follow up on this man’s groundbreaking discovery of high altitudes turning people gay. Till then, we can only laugh at the absurdity of it all, which is exactly what folks did.
How would you have reacted if you were in the poster’s shoes and someone told you a story like this?
