Why, in every one of these stories, does not a single character, instead of blurting out stupid things that are obviously not going to help anything and will only probably get them killed while they're alone with a crazy person, instead attempt to humor them? What exactly does he think informing the doctor he's "going to fry" do except make the doctor aware this guy's gonna tell on him so he either should kill him or escape? How about instead he says:

"Doctor, that's incredible! How could someone manage such an astonishing feat? I've never heard of anything so amazing!" while inching towards the door and continuing to compliment the egotistical doctor.

"Well I was just going to shock the pool, where could I find those chemicals at? I didn't mean to disturb your work!"

Before going up and either getting out of there or pretending nothing at all was wrong, working the rest of the day, then going to the police afterwards?

Then again I forget, in these stories most narrators are severely affected by a terrible disease known as HSIR (horror story induced retardation), so the idea of not telling a crazy guy he's crazy while he's alone with the crazy guy in his basement with nobody to help him wouldn't occur to him. My apologies, I often forget about what a prolific and serious mental disease HSIR is.
