It's particularly difficult for people who are for whatever reason upset with their lot in life to get out of the mindset that everyone is against them and that every slight is deliberately engineered to fuck them over (institutional and systematic fucking of sociopolitical classes / races aside).
My MIL falls very much into this camp. Everything slightly inconvenient is a ploy by someone else to deliberately fuck her over. I got a parking ticket recently, totally correctly. Apparently Lambeth council deliberately changes parking bay boundaries to catch people out and make money.
