Outrageous Lies

[BangkokB]

We all know them. But I feel I'm surrounded by them. People that lie way past the point of belief make me say WTF?

Example: Someone I work with told me on Tuesday that his watch collection was worth 600,000 dollars. While I looked at his street socks and beat up 13 year old Adidas, I asked what denomination. And he said US$. Then Thursday he's telling about his Rolex watch collection and said to me: Did I know that he had 700,000 dollars worth of Rolex's. We looked eye to eye to w/o saying a word and then he blinked

Well, if that's the case then I'm DB Cooper

Sounds like BS. But maybe they're in a safety deposit box being, you know, useful.

Oh man - yeah! I know people like that.

Compulsive liars who just make up the most outrageous things and refuse to ever back down. I knew a kid who claimed he'd been "in over 33 knife fights by now" (14 years old).

"I challenge that - where's the scars?"
"They uh, heal up really well."

He claimed that when he was trying to 'beef up' for football season in 7th grade he ate "a ribeye in the morning, maybe a couple t-bones for lunch. Lots of steak every day."

"No way dude, your parents wouldn't buy you that much meat...and furthermore I don't think you could even eat that much."
"I swear to god!"

Bizarre. Why do people make up crap like that?

A lot of 14 year-olds are insecure as hell, especially around adults they want to impress. Not too uncommon to brag like a rapper and make up more stories than an O. Henry collection.

Me, too. As soon as I hear "you're tolerable" my radar goes up and I'm on the defensive.

That was the same basic assessment we made. He's 18 now, but still has a very weak grasp on reality. We know for a fact that he's been barred from all branches of the military after failing his psych-eval, but he still tells us he can't make it to things because he has "drills."

The guy is a bit unstable as it turns out...but most of his instability seems to be directly linked to his determination to act like a tough guy 24/7 and never admit when he's been caught in a lie.

Claiming you beat up a rogue police officer with your bare fists at age 15 (to protect an innocent girl) doesn't do well for your National Guard interview.

I'm invisible but only when people don't look at me

I still wish we had a *shakes head sadly* emoticon.

How's it go...?



I am the boy
Who can enjoy
Invisibility

[BangkokB]

I've always been invisible. My parents can't see me. Hey dad, I'm going into my room with these strange men
Dad says Uggh

[abcdefz]

I try to be invisible as much as possible. (y)

[BangkokB]

That's kinda what I'm talking about. People that lie when they have nothing to gain from it
It doesn't make sense to me

I was the baby on the cover of that Nirvana LP. Courtney had me over for dinner and I said she had a vagina that looked like Mud Flaps vs a Tire and the Tire was winning

But how do we know you're not lying? Hmm? Pwned. (http://mishilo.image.pbase.com/u13/cmnoa/upload/42525711.pwned.jpg) Also, own3d. (http://kildall.apana.org.au/~cjb/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/random/who-ep12-8_pwned_s.jpg)

Back in school shortly before Abitur (Graduation) one boy came to our grade from another school. He was ill very often. One time he came to school with a bandage wrapped all around his head and eyes, with some tiny little slit for one of his eyes. He told everyone that he'd had a bike-crash and his bike-bell somehow got right into his other eye. After some weeks when he didn't come to school again, one of the teachers decided to check what was going on with him and called his mother. He asked "Is Dino (I swear he was called Dino) still ill? When will he be able to come back to school?" And his mother didn't know what this teacher was talking about. She said "What do you mean, you're his teacher? Dino's not going to school anymore. He quit after his Hauptschulabschluss (that's a lower educational degree after 9 years of school). He's doing an apprenticeship right now."

It turned out that this guy didn't even have the required grades for coming to our school. So he faked his report card to get in and lied to his mother and the whle school. No one would have noticed the fake if he had come regularly. He would have been able to get his Abitur even. He wasn't that bad in school...

But that was really a cool and outrageous lie... :eek:

I think everybody knows people like that. Its amazing how far some people will go with a lie. Especially when there is no reason to lie.

Just think about this message board. Think of all the BS that people post that is not true. We all know that some people are trying to be finny or get a rise out of everybody.

You know a lot of members just lie out of there asses because it is easy. They are not trying to be funny or mess around they just want to act like something they are not in real life. You know the people I'm talking about. (n)
