There was a guy I used to work with, a morbidly obese 35 year-old who still lived with his mother. He sort of looked like Wayne Knight fron 3rd Rock from the Sun/Jurassic Park.
Anyway, he used to tell all these crazy lies like:
He had met or hung out with various celebrities like David Beckham, Samantha Janus, members of the cast of Brookside.
His cousin and close freind was a certain Olymipic athelete with the same last name.
He had been on holidays that he could never afford on his salary.
He frequently ran marathons/went skydiving/ had once swam the English channel.
My friend Phil knew someone like that at his work also. What do you think about people who lie to impress their work collegues? I can understand lying to get out of trouble, but this whole fictional boasting thing seems completely pathetic to me.

My old housemate claimed to have designed tiles for NASA rockets (haha in retrospect - well done if he really did), that he'd dj'd to 40,000 people and had designed a camcorder warmer for some army for when they went marching up into the mountains.
funny stuff, no-one believed him.

I know, I had to keep from bursting into fits of giggles the whole time. Everyone was too polite to actually stand up and call him out on his lies, so we'd all just sit there smirking.

There's a crazy, drugged-out meth addict/ alcoholic guy who randomly shows up at my friend's house, and my friend doesn't have the heart to tell him to leave, because he seems desperate for any human interaction. He's probably twice our age and tells us all kinds of fucked up stories, to which we don't know how to respond. He introduced himself as 'Ponce' or I suppose, 'Ponts' because he was 'once inhabited by the spirit of Pontius Pilate'. I replied, "What, did you try to crucify someone then?" and he said "No man! I'm serious. I died and went to hell and met the devil and then Jesus Christ sent me back because my time here wasn't through." Then a bit later he told us that ex-wife owns a whorehouse in New Mexico and that the U.S. government offered him a million dollars to kill her, that his 19 year old daughter owns a trucking company, and that he's met bigfoots on several occasions: "I was boating near Alaska and a Bigfoot jumped into my boat. See the thing is, they only communicate telepathically, so I says to him, "You're the ugliest shaved asshole I've ever seen." And he says back to me, "You're the ugliest shaved asshole I've ever seen.
He really said all this and more with a straight face, and got mad when we laughed. I couldn't make this shit up.

This fella wasn't crazy, he obviously knew he was lying. He was just such a pathetic social reject that he really thought we were all impressed. It's quite sad really. The funniest time was when someone jokingly suggested he was gay, and he freaked out and started going on about all these beautiful women he'd shagged. (look at the picture again.) He shouted "I'm straighter than any of you!"

Another running lie was that he was quite wealthy because of stocks and shares he'd bought, and he only worked his £14,000 a year job as something to keep him occupied. He tell you this in a hush-hush voice like it was a big secret. except that he did this with everyone in the office.

This crazy old tramp on the train once told me and my friends he was a secret agent for some sort of government group and that he had been double-crossed by them, so they put this camera thing in his brain. This allowed the government to monitor whatever he was looking at so they could spy on him all the time. He claimed to be invincible and that he was going to Downing Street to kill the government. Apparently Tony Blair would telepathically enter his brain and laugh at him. He told us this and lots of crazy stuff about mind control and astral projection. When we got off at the station he didn't have a ticket and started shouting at the guards who stopped him and wouldn't let him past. In the end they let him just go through. So maybe he really did have Jedi mind control powers!

This thread was an awesone read. I've met some hardcore story tellers sometimes.
I was at a bar that a vietnam vet was at. He came over and started talking to us because he thought we were high. We actually were but joked we wish we had some pot. He eventually admitted that he was on shrooms. We were entertained for the next two hours with stories about his life age 19 to current.
He does alot of drugs and i mean alot.

yeah well see story tellers are a whole shit storm ways away from crackheads - crackheads are annoying, dont get the hint after youve spoken to them for a few minutes, want things from you, could potentially hold you up (and get their asses dealt with accordingly)
story tellers are great - i get drunk all weekend and tell stories
but i aint no crackhead :-0

There's a bloke at my work like that. Always "giving it the big 'un". What's worrying is how many people are taken in by it. Only me and a handful of colleagues actually see through it and rip the piss. His favourite story (and there are various flavours of it I've heard many times) involve him riding his motorcycle, exceptionally skillfully, at very high speed, on public roads. I have on several occassions offered to race him, but he has yet to take me up on the offer.

I live in Maine, woooo, "yay Maine" it has lots of gift shops for "Maine" goods, which are usually items containing the word "Maine" and either a picture of a moose or a lobster.
Speaking of lobster, I saw a live lobster living its' life on the beach in a little nook this summer. It was a strange sight; lobsters are weird. Also, while being a life-long Maine resident I have never had lobster, which is surprising to many people.

Take hard look at yourself. Step away. Look into a mirror. learn to spell "friends" and "Olympic" before you start criticising work colleagues /wankers. You probably are a right tool for all I know. Admit you have a lot to learn, even if you are a dad already. Make a commitment to yourself that you "will not fuck your kids up like you parents did".AHHH HUMM, Reality check. Table frick'in zero please.

I had this dude at my old job who used to lie out his ass.
He said he had 8point-something million dollars in GE stock, his own garage where he worked on cars, an American Idol finalist who turned down the contract, a general contractor, plus a ton of other shit i can't remember.
He thinks he can get away with all these lies because he tells different lies to different people but wasn't smart enough to figure out that people talk behind his back.
Anyways.

The saddest part is that they are normally only lying to try to fit in socially with people who in most cases are complete pricks who wouldn't deserve their friendship anyway. If you meet someone who is going over the top to try to impress you it normally means that you are making them feel they have to. Maybe with maturity you will learn to be able to make people feel at comfort with you instead of being a judgemental prick.
