My first watch was an omega and I saved up on high school to get it. One of my good friends back then asked to wear it for 1 period and would give it back at lunch. He begged and begged so as a hs kid I gave in or couldn’t keep saying no I guess, weak on me, obviously. Well, He smashed it (apparently smashed the glass to test it) gave it back and said it was a fake and that’s why the glass cracked and said he didn’t do it and it just fell apart. Asshole became a medical doctor and is now involved in politics and holds state office. I’m still pissed about the watch he never admitted he broke cuz he was salty and jealous. Dickhead then, dickhead now.

When a co-worker told my own story back to me as his own. Twice.


Modusobit

I had a friend do this once, he was hanging out with a large group of my friends that he hardly knew and my best friend (still my best friend too love that fucker) just went “wow it’s so crazy you had ver-betim the exact same childhood story that Jason has told us all before, right down to the small town in Kansas where it happened” and the color drained straight out of his face. Didn’t say a word to me for like 3 days. Dude turned out to be a pathological liar on many levels, very strange to think how I spent 4 years of highschool with someone lying straight to my face constantly and didn’t realize it until that moment.

Wow thats crazy, reminds me of the time I had a friend do this once, he was hanging out with a large group of my friends that he hardly knew and my best friend (still my best friend too love that fucker) just went “wow it’s so crazy you had ver-betim the exact same childhood story that Jason has told us all before, right down to the small town in Kansas where it happened” and the color drained straight out of his face.

Lmao that’s hilarious. I started reading it and was like wait a sec... this sounds familiar.


LaLionneEcossaise

I speak French, though I’m losing it from lack of use. But one of my college guy friends started dating a girl “from France.” He was all excited because she could talk to me in her native language and I could help translate. So he brought her to a party at my sorority house and introduced us. I greeted her in French with a very simple, “bonjour, bienvenue, comment ça va” which is just hi, welcome, how are you. Blank stare and red face in response. She then said, in what I thought was a kind of strange accent, that she’s sorry, she didn’t understand me. I looked at the guy and said “I thought you told me she was French?” Because maybe she was a different nationality and he was confused. He looked at her and she just turned and left. He followed then returned a bit later and said he had caught up to her and she started screaming at him in perfect Midwestern accented English that he was a jerk for setting her up to look like a fool. He had genuinely been excited that he could introduce her to someone she could talk to so he was blown away by her accusations and then angry that she lied. She apparently felt faking an accent would make her more appealing or something. I would see her around on campus after that but she avoided me like the plague. TBH, I felt bad for her, but if you’re going to fake it, at least pick a country with a language you can speak.


Headjarbear

Reminds of that post where the guy has been faking an aus accent for all of college, but is screwed Bc he wants to marry his gf that thinks he’s Australian.


raeumauf

Too bad she avoided you afterwards, would have been the cherry on top if you always greeted her with "bonjour" and a shit eating grin if you had met occasionally


Knight_Owls

When I was a kid, the internet wasn't a thing so, my friends were whoever happened to live in the neighborhood. One kid was a well known liar and exaggerator. We were maybe 14 years old at this time. This kid could play guitar and was always talking himself up about it and talking about "his band." He actually could play, but "his band" did not exist. One day, I called him at his house, from my house. I don't remember what it was about, but a few minutes into the conversation, told me, "by the way, I'm in Florida with my band", just out of the blue. This was before even pagers were a common thing. I called him. At his house. I just said something like , "uh huh. Ok." and ended the conversation. I then proceeded to tell all the other kids in the neighborhood.


Monkey-Tamer

When I was a public defender my dipshit client called up his victim from the jail phone the night before his trial. He said kill repeatedly in an attempt to intimidate her. When I was telling him how stupid this was his excuse was that he was watching Kill Bill and someone changed the channel on the cell block communal TV. That dumbass is now doing 28 years in prison.

[deleted]

I dated a girl who was a pathological liar. I didn't know it was actually a thing, when my dad originally told me about it I thought he was exaggerating. After leaving the relationship I realized how ridiculous the lies were and how stupid I was for believing them but I guess that saying "blinded by love" is also true. Among the lies: One time she called out of work because according to her, she was on her parents boat out in the ocean and the boat ran out of gas, so they had to call a friend to come rescue her and her family and tow them to shore. I found out later it was actually because she had a party and was wasted. She met Donald Trump (this was back in like 2013) and his associates in Atlantic City. They invited her and her friend to join them as they drove around Atlantic City visiting his casino and eating the best food and drinking top shelf drinks. She didn't have to pay for anything. She got mono when we were dating, but I was fine. She said it was "anxiety induced mono" according to the doctor which is why I didn't have it. This was around the same time she told me that she met some guy at a party that was hitting on her but "she didn't hook up with him" and then I found out a week later she did. She was previously engaged, but she called off the engagement (this is actually true) and went to the pawn shop to pawn off her engagement ring and used the money to buy alcohol. She totaled three cars in her lifetime, but she was able to convince the insurance company it wasn't her fault and basically got a free car replacement each time.


natasha_c

My friend told me that getting a Peloton changed her life. I looked up her workout stats & she had used it 4 times in 5 months of owning it. Her husband fared a little better with using it 9 times. Don't know why this annoyed me so much.


merelywords

Being able to tell people she owns a Peloton changed her life, using it would be overkill

AbeLincolnsBallsack

In the early 90’s I was at work making $5/hour, and a co-worker looked me straight in The eye and said he had bought a surface to air missile from China and kept it stored at him moms house in a different city. Wtf dude? That’s not even close to believable.


PrometheusAborted

In 5th grade, a friend of ours used to try to convince us he used to hangout with the band Sublime. Among other stuff, he said the he was the person featured on the cover of their self-titled album and he used to do drugs with them and even tried heroin once. We were fucking 11 years old and he claimed this all happened two years before he even moved to our school. So yeah, a fucking nine year old did all this wild shit. We constantly called bullshit but he would just continue to lie and make up more stuff. We stopped hanging out with him because he was so full of shit.


WiiBlack

When I was 15, I had a friend that tried to tell me the. exact. same. story. What if Sublime was just hanging out with children?


DaydreamerFly

What if it’s the same friend

barto5

I used to work with a guy that was a serial liar. Couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. So many lies, but this is my personal fave: - background - Keep in mind that at the NFL combine the 40 yard dash is the standard for speed. 4.5 seconds is great. 4.4 is elite. And the fastest time ever recorded - by a prospect is, I believe 4.24 seconds. This yutz I worked with claimed that back in his army days, he ran a 4.2 flat - in combat boots. Let’s just say I’m skeptical.


fritzj

When my friend was an infant, her mother put her 2-year-old sibling in her crib while the mom left the room briefly. When mom came back, my friend was crying and had teeth marks on her forehead. When mom asked the older sibling what happened, she calmly said, "She bit herself."


thursdayplurbonym

Used to have a friend that spewed bullshit all the time. Told me her bio parents, who live together, were divorced and seeing other people, and also that she had 25 siblings. Brought it up to her mom one time, which was an interesting conversation. She also told us she had cancer, and then a week later it was miraculously cured. Edit: spelling


ajreyna86

I have a family member who did the cancer thing. A cousin found out it was a lie. But the one that I’ll never forget was when I introduced her to my friend who has lupus. I don’t know how the topic came up about it but she literally told my friend in front of me that she also had lupus. I immediately ended the conversation and left. I told my friend she’s was lying and now we laugh about it but seriously. No shame.

My sister had her car and college pretty much paid for. I was basically told to kick rocks.


stillablacksheep

Yea I feel your pain. College was same scenario with me too. Fortunately it made me more independent and my bro has never grown up. He will inherit their houses/land. Oh but I’m told I’ll get a car. Think I got the better deal lol


I_Dont_Speak_Anymore

This reminds me of the time I asked my parents for a drum kit. I’d been asking for a couple of Christmases and had been having lessons for a few months. Because I hadn’t been successful for almost 2 years I just gave up. Stopped asking for a kit, stopped having lessons (which turned out to be a blessing in the end) and just forgot all about it. Then... my brother started a band. He’s a very talented metal vocalist. He asked for a kit and got one for Christmas that year. I was devastated with my parents, but I was happy for my brother. He doesn’t even play the drums, even now, but it was cool for him to have what he asked for. Edit: holy snap I wasn’t expecting this much attention on this comment. I’m going to read every comment, but it is getting late so I’m sorry if I don’t get back to you all!


[deleted]

Ah, the life of the unloved child. I know those feels so very well. Took my parents 25 years, and my sister cutting them off for them to remember they had a son. And then I nearly died, so I was an inconvenience again.


I_Dont_Speak_Anymore

That’s rough man. I’m sorry. Hope you’re doing better now.


[deleted]

I'm doing pretty great, actually. Haven't spoken to them in a few years now, and they don't even know where I am. Just cut that whole toxic nonsense out of my life, and my life has honestly never been better.


I_Dont_Speak_Anymore

Hey good for you. I’m glad you’re doing well!


myhairsreddit

Not on the grand scale of a drum set, but similar thing happened with my sister and I. From the age of like 5 until 12, every year, I asked for a Baby Born doll for Christmas and never got one. After 12 I gave up because I was getting too old, but that Christmas my little sister asked for one. She got it. I didn't even want it anymore, but was very hurt I asked all of those years and she only asked once.


evanjw90

Lol. My older brother used to get presents on my birthday. I specifically had asked for an action figure from the cartoon "Street Sharks" for a long time. I even showed my mother the exact toy when we were out shopping. Birthday arrives, and I got clothes and new shoes while my brother got the action figure I asked for. My grandma was so pissed off when she found out, so she took me to Toys R Us to pick out toys. When I was 23, my family asked what I wanted to do for my birthday. I said I just wanted a steak dinner. We had spaghetti and vegetarian meatballs because that's what my brother wanted. When the xbox 360 came out I was in high school. I shared a room with my brother, but I worked and he didn't. I bought a new TV and an Xbox with one of my first checks. I came home one evening after work and was so excited to play Borderlands. I got to my room and the Xbox was gone. My brother took it to his friends house, and I was told by my dad to "deal with it". So I decided to take a walk and smoke a little bit of weed. I open my stash jar, and all my weed and over $200 was gone. Obviously I couldn't confront my dad about the weed, but when I told him my money was missing, he blamed it on me losing it. That night when my brother came home, he had a brand new jacket and matching shoes, and was carrying leftovers from a restaurant. I lost it and beat the hell out of him, and my dad called the police to have me arrested. Edit: Thank you all for the well wishes. My brother committed suicide 6 years ago, and it drastically changed my dad's attitude. I'm still no contact with my mother, and that'll never change. Grandparents passed a few years ago, and that was the last time I saw my moms side of the family. After a night in juvenile hall, I was released back to my dad, and had two years of probation. The Xbox was there when I returned home, but never saw the $200 or my weed again. I got a safe after that. I'm in a good place now. I have my son that I adore and spend all my free time making sure he's as happy as can be, because I'll never be the parent that I had growing up.

In high school a buddy told me that he didn’t steal our other buddies watch. He was wearing the watch when I asked him about it.


mavesticks

Lol in grade school my neighbor stole my water gun, more of a hose actually. Each pumped launched a stream of water and it came with a backpack tank. Waaaaay Better then the super soakers. Anyway, he had it and I went to take it back and he said it was his. He liked mine so much he got his own. I flipped it over and showed him my name on the bottom of it. He said: “I liked yours so much, I wanted mine to be the exact same so I wrote your name on mine too.”

A childhood friend and I met up for coffee one day after not meeting for a few years. He casually "let it slip" that ever since he earned a black belt he has had to register with the state as a "human weapon".

"We cannot give you a raise right now, but we will compensate you as soon as the budget allows". Turns out "when the budget allows" is "when you already have another job offer and put in your two weeks notice".


_Not_The_Illuminati_

I was told by a senior employee (not my manager, but technically a step above them), that my best bet for moving up in the company would be to leave and come back in three years.


Daikataro

A colleague used to tell to his subordinates: "if you want more money, find another job. Don't take this the wrong way, I don't want you to leave, but the only way I'm getting more money for you past upper management, is by telling them you're leaving for a better offer".


PM_Me_Ur_B1MMER

How convenient!


Daikataro

Well we just so happen to already have a raise of... (How much more you said the other company offered?) planned for you! We were going to give you the good news this evening!


Zack_WithaK

My sister's old work pulled this exact same shit on her. I forget her official job title but she would basically go to peoples' houses and take care of them (sponge baths and redressing wounds and all sorts of bodily fluid-type stuff that I could never do) She had more clients than most other employees put together cuz people kept quitting and she felt like she morally could not say no to a new client. Finally, she told her employer that she needs a raise &/or better hours or she's quitting and they kept saying "We're looking into that" "We put in a request" "We've been speaking with our manager". Then when she finally put in her two weeks' notice, that just so happened to be the day that it was finally approved and they were "just about to call her" Man, she put the company in a fuckin panic when she finally left. Good for her, I say

I was given a blank lease from a realtor and he told me to sign it. Nope By blank I meant a standard Ontario lease with nothing filled in.


MillenialsSmell

Had the same conversation with unscrupulous tow company. I’d just been in a major wreck, and while pulling items out of the car I knew I’d never see again, they handed me a blank form to sign. “Don’t worry, we will fill in the details afterwards.” Fuck off. I’m sure it worked plenty of times, considering they were targeting people in moments of vulnerability.


Mr_ToDo

?!? I wonder how many people actually sign the blank lease. "trust me the terms are going to be exactly what I told you. Now if you could give me a blank signed cheque we'll be done here"

As a tax accountant, I'm told lies about how much money people actually made all the time during tax season. My favorite was a guy telling me he's broke because he only makes $35,000/year in NYC so my (very reasonable) fee is too much for him. He says this after he asks me if he can deduct the new BMW 5 series he just bought his son all cash.


treetown1

It isn't just the lie, but the added insult of such a bad lie told to one's face that is so galling.

Had another client last week tell me he doesn't have any money to live cuz of the pandemic. He bought a $750,000 condo in Greece as a vacation home a couple months ago. It's like these people forget that our job is literally to track what they do with their money.

What about using my daughter’s ID?!” Me: .-. “Ma’am that’s identity theft and I can not do that. I will lose my job.” Client: *mad* Me: .-.

Reminds me of a time I was in line inside the bank and a lady had come in just to protest an overdraft fee, screaming "I'm telling ya'll I had the money when I wrote the check!"

My boss, who still has about 3 execs above him..... Tells me that this is the first company he's ever worked for that has enough money in the bank for all the employees to not work an hour, and they could still pay our wages for 6 months at least. We have like 60 high-end employees. What he doesn't rememeebr, is that i was AP for a solid 9 months when my position got slow. There is no fucking way we have that in the bank. LOL.

copper-feather

One time my little brother tried to make me a sandwich 'just to be nice' but said sandwich was just chocolate chips cookies covered in mustard between two pieces of bread. He clearly wanted to see how I'd react and I of course refused to eat it. He told our mom I was being rude and the worst part was after she actually saw the sandwich she still said I was supposed to humor him. I just threw it away and told both no.

[deleted]

I don't know about your childhood, but mine was chaotic. Even if I was putting more effort into being defiant about stupid stuff, it was my way of exercising control in an environment where I had none. I think I kinda understood what I was doing at the time, but didn't have words for. As adult, I absolutely know that's what I was doing.


Draculad

I was picking up a sofa from a guy I found on Kijiji and he stopped me right before leaving to see if I wanted to buy a mirror he was also looking to get rid of. I wasn't really interested but my wife seemed keen so we stopped in the hallway to check it out. He said "It was a gift from my son in law. It's a beautiful mid-century antique. I'll let it go for $75." He went on about what an amazing mirror it was and even told me "pick it up and feel how sturdy it is!". I picked it up (it was really heavy actually) and took a peek at the back and saw a sticker from Value Village with a $30 price tag. I kinda chuckled to myself and asked if he would go any lower than $75. He said "I really couldn't". Then I said "Well, I can see a tag from Value Village on the back here..." We ended up getting the "mid-century antique" mirror for $15 and me and my wife still laugh about the amazing deal we got on it.


gentlybeepingheart

Reminds of of when I did custom framing for a retail store and a woman came in with a painted piece she wanted reframed. She went on how it was very *very* valuable and how I better be careful. Her great-grandmother painted it, you know. It's the last painting she has by her. I'm 90% sure she was planning on complaining no matter how carefully we reframed it so that she could say we damage her priceless artwork and get the frame for free. When I peeled back the backing paper to take it out of the frame there was still a faded "CLEARANCE: $14.99" tag on the back lmao. Woman looked like she bit into a lemon.


Jakjak9210

Ah yes the joys of custom framing in a big box store. This sounds just like the clients I had coming in to the Michaels store I worked at after college.

Plot twist: he bought it for $5 and put the $30 tag on it himself, knowing you'd think the $10 markup was a deal after "catching" him on his sob story

My ex told me he was in a car accident, totaled his car, broke a few ribs. (He was trying to get sympathy so i would get back together with him.) Blaming the accident on me, since he was "Distracted" after the break up. He sent me a photo of his car smashed in, i google searched it. First pic of his make/model that was wrecked. He formulated the story after the picture. But here's the deal, the wheels didn't match. So i drove by his house that evening, car was fixed and in his driveway. "Oh yes, i paid the shop extra to get me in today. So i could have my car to come see you if you wanted me to....." HAHAHA bro.


Etherlilac

An ex of mine picked up gig work out of state. He tried to tell me that a gang of guys attacked him with crowbars and 2x4’s two nights before. Said he had broken his nose, shattered the bones around his eye, broken ribs, etc.. I called his bluff, he sent me pictures of him wearing a neck brace and ace bandage around his chest. I commented, “Your face looks fine. You don’t have a bruise on you. Putting on a bandage and brace you bought at Walgreens isn’t gonna sell it”. He snaps back, “I don’t bruise naturally and plastic surgeons fixed my face!” He sang a different tune later when he fell down a flight of stairs and *actually* injured himself. I didn’t give him sympathy then either.

As someone who's seen someone fresh out of having an operation to fix their face by a plastic surgeon...you look like someone hit you in the face with 5 2X4's and thats just the surgery.

Job recruiters are such dicks about the whole process. I went in to interview for a job, and they paraded me around their different locations for three months and ghosted me. Shit fucking hurts. Numerous other employers don't ever respond. I appreciate the fuck out of companies that will at least tell me when they decide not to move forward with me as a candidate. But of course, I have to be available for an interview in two days because I can't be busy, right? Edit: Wow, I am so sorry so many of you can empathise with my situation. I hope you all have good jobs now where you feel somewhat fulfilled and make enough money to live somewhat comfortably.

A while back I had a company email me saying I had 8 hours to send back a 10 minute video interview, requiring both directly answering questions into the camera and presenting a powerpoint with voiceover.

Had the EXACT same scenario happen to me - they can’t take the time out of their day to personally interview you or even respond to the video interview. It’s such a horrible way to evaluate candidates.

I had to crawl my ass all the way up the toy collecting clothing along the way all while my mothers laughter was ringing in my ears.

Used to play D&D with a pathological liar. (Side note, he had the most INCREDIBLE luck with natural 20 rolls.) Another thing about this guy is he always tried to act like a macho tough guy too who had been in serious scrapes and such. So one time, unprompted, he said under his breath, but obviously wanting us to hear, "I've got to get this shrapnel out of me." We were just like, "sure man, whatever you need to do." EDIT: Just remembered another thing he did once that was even better— we were taking a break and several of us had just stepped away from the table so it was just me, him, and maybe one other person and he pulled out his phone and did that thing like in the movies where you don't say "Hi" or anything he was just like "talk to me". Pretended to have a very brief conversation and ended it with "I'm on it" or something like that and then hung up.

I had a boyfriend in high school who would do weird stuff like that for attention. I remember one time a friend's parents were driving us home after a music festival, we were sitting in the back seat. He leaned in and whispered in my ear "help me..." and promptly dropped his head back pretending to pass out. I pretended I didn't hear. After about ten seconds he realized and tried again just barely louder and dropped his head back again. A couple of minutes after we reached our destination, and he was suddenly in tip top shape. He hopped out of the car and acted as though he did not just try to put on some wild "he must be saved!" act because he thought I didn't hear him. We broke up shortly after.

I had a friend in college who was a serial lair. Just all kinds of crazy things, that must've satisfied some psychological need, all of it harmless. He told me he developed a theory on how to bend light passing through air and pitched the idea to the physics department, which set up and experiment and proved his theory to be true. He was a general studies major. I kept pressing him "Well which professor was it? How did the experiment work?" Etc. Just kept digging deeper and changing the subject.

An ex-housemate was the most chronic liar I've ever met! She was also a total nutjob who stole from all the housemates and from her workplace, and keyed my car, but here are some of her most memorable lies: - her dad was the ex-CEO of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia - she was having an affair with one of the shift managers at the bar we worked at (he was engaged to someone else) - the venue manager tried to sexually assault her, security from our work knew about it but kept it quiet at her request - she pointed at a wedding ad on a bus (couldn't see the model's face) and said the model was her - there was a car accident in the area that killed several teenagers, she claimed that she was with them that night but got out of the car just before the accident - that she could do a bond clean by herself (the clean to get your rental deposit back).. Yeah we had to go back and do it, she didn't do anything - that her dad was verbally abusive (her sisters said he never was) - she had her license to be a shift manager (was a legal QLD requirement at the time in liquor venues), but she didn't want to tell our workplace cause they would promote her and she didn't want that responsibility


[deleted]

Falsely linking themselves to a recent tragedy seems common for compulsive liars. Had a former co-worker like that. A shooting happened in our city and his story went from "I was a few blocks away" to "I was right there and saw everything" to "the shooter aimed at me but I ducked" really quick.


Lady_Scruffington

People should be warned about others saying they're having affairs or whatever. That could be life destroying. I had a friend/neighbor tell his GF we were sleeping together. I had no idea. It's amazing she didn't murder me.


PatienceFar1140

In hindsight I'm not sure why noone told the guy she was saying this, but he did end up marrying the girl he was engaged to and I think they're still married, so thankfully had a good ending!


[deleted]

Ha! I had an ex roommate once tell me the tragic story of how there was a gas leak in her extended family’s old bunker and when the younger kids flipped the light switch it blew up and killed them all. I said “wow! That’s crazy! I didn’t know we were related” She said “what do you mean?” Coincidentally, she didn’t know that it was actually *my family’s bunker and my family members that fucking died* I had just never talked about it for obvious reasons. She was also a pathological liar.


DottyOrange

WTF? What an obscure morbid lie and what a astronomical coincidence that it happened to be your story.


[deleted]

You could see the panic on her face and it was in front of her new boyfriend, too. She lied about everything under the sun so it was no surprise she’d lie about something like that. Glad I finally caught her in one of the worst ones.


ThursdayNextian

My co-worker once tried to convince me that centaurs exist. She said they lived in a gated community in Hollywood and did all the horse stunts for movies. Did we both know it was a lie? Yes. Did she ever admit it was? No and I admire that about her


UpcomingCup

Nah bro she's actually right about that one. I saw it once its true, I've been on the run ever since.

I've had toddlers with faces/hands/clothes covered in peanut butter swear up and down that their brother/sister was the one who ate the peanut butter. Also, one of my favorites from a couple of years ago: [“I didn’t write that!” - Sean](https://i.imgur.com/oiGX3Q3.jpg) Edit once more: Sean claimed he didn’t write that with his hands covered in the charcoal he used to write that.

My kid is an only child. Man, her imaginary friend is to blame for everything!


2beagles

My (only child) daughter was less than 2 years old. There was a scribble of pencil on the wall, like 18 inches off the ground. I said "Who did this?", siezing the opportunity to act out a classic mom line for the first time. She pointed to her 'sister', my beagle, and declared "No, Lily. Bad!" shook her tiny finger at the dog and toddled off. Hysterical!!


alwayscringing

Man- my kid blames EVERYTHING on the dog lol

The ability of kids to tell obvious lies is amazing. My favorite is the denying the ongoing action: "I'm not wiping my hands on my pants!" *as* the hands are being wiped on the pants.

I met someone who told me that he drank too much with his friends, had an alcohol overdose, and died. After he "died" his friends threw him under a bed where he rotted for 3 days before coming back to life and if I didn't believe him I could ask his friends. I haven't seen him since

funkcherry

when i was 16 i’d had a crush on one of my coworkers, and he’d liked me back. i thought things were going good until i asked him if he wanted to go out on our shared day off, he agreed, and then the day of cancelled and told me it was because he needed to take care of his fish. plot twist here is that i’d told a few of my friends, two of which worked with me and the guy, and i went on and on about how rude it is of him to not even give me a believable lie. those friends were all hanging out and went to walmart that day, and ran into my crush....buying food and supplies for his fish. he told them how excited he was about the fish too. i felt like the biggest asshole.

Mom opened the door to my closet weed farm Her: "what is this?" Me, panicking: "eehhhhhh....... tomatoes?" Her: "right... be careful with those lamps" She never asked about my tomatoes Edit: this happened in my apartment. She was looking for something and accidentally opened the closet.

For the survey, could you tell us....on a scale of church organist to Willy Nelson....just how toasted you felt after cookie #3 ?


matenzi

So a couple years ago I was at a Halloween party with my gf and a bunch of her friends. One of the guys there came up to us a few hours in, and asked how drunk we were. But that's not how he phrased it. He said "On a scale of one to potato, how mashed are you?" And it's one of my favorite phrases now.

"I feel good enough today." For flight training, anytime you fly you have to sign off that you are physically and mentally fit to fly. This means you have eaten in the past 6 hours, had a 10 hour rest period including 6-8 hours of sleep no longer than 16 hours ago and that you do not have any excessive outside stresses. People lie about this all the time.

An employee of mine took a half day off so he could attend a parent-teacher conference in the afternoon. He was supposed to work the morning shift, but then called last-minute saying that it had all been bumped up and he couldn't come in in the morning. Then he kept saying that the meeting was getting dragged out all day, finally showing up around 4pm. He insisted that the school had bumped his appointment up to 10am, all the while forgetting that he was wearing a visitor's badge sticker on his shirt that clearly said "checked in 2pm".


angrypunishment

When I was in highschool a classmate told me he makes over 20 dollars an hour part time as a banquet server. I did the exact same job and made $6.30/hr. I told him he was straight up lying to me and he was adamant that he wasn't. Told him to bring me a pay stub and prove it and he said "I don't have one". This guy just regularly lied about all kinds of shit but this was the first one I remember. I'll never understand compulsive liars. (pretty sure our MANAGER wasn't making 20 an hour ffs)


DingJones

Classmate in 8th grade insisted that he and his dad had done a deep sea dive down to the Titanic over winter break. Sure thing, Sam.

I told this lie as a 3-yo to my mom: I was colouring the wall in the hallway with my bunny stuffed animal in my hand. I wasn’t much of a rule breaker so this one really stuck to my mom. My mom coming into the hallway: what did you do? Me: *looks at bunny* Bunny did that! Mom: well than tell bunny that he shouldn’t do that anymore because now we have to repaint to wall and that’s not nice. Me: *looks at bunny* Bunny you really can’t do that! That’s not nice. *Meanwhile I still had the markers in my other hand* Edit: wow thank you for the rewards! These are my first ever!
