obvious lies

every now and then i come across this awful personality type - they tell me a lie which is so obviously untrue that warning bells immediately go off in my mind and i will never trust that person. for example i met an indian girl who was wearing very fake looking green contacts over her near black eyes. some less observant guy asked her about it, and she sat there in front of all of us and lied about it.

wtf is with that. another example is oh yeah my hair is naturally straight.. right and that explains why i can see your re-growth which looks like morgan freeman's pubic hair.

i feel like if you're going to lie about shit like that then how can i know that you aren't lying about most other things as well. i mean honestly, how stupid do you think people are that they won't see through your ridiculous lies!
and that is my random thought for today.

 

Haha someone I went to school with always told such obvious lies. Like her hair was naturally blonde, but she dyed it mousy brown to avoid the 'bimbo' comments - we knew her since she was very little and was always brown

One of the most annoying ones - we were walking home from the shop with a boy we'd met, who then went off a different way, the following day she tells everyone she walked all the way home with him, I pointed out that she in fact didn't because I was there and he walked a different way, and she denied it and insisted she did.

It's so irritating.

 

I've known a few people like that. Some people like to lie right after you quit a job or relationship with them to try to make you feel like you missed out on a super great thing that was just around the corner, if only you had stayed. Juvenile.

Jon Lovitz used to do a routine about the lying thing on SNL. He would start out with lies that were almost believable and then end up lying through his teeth. He would always use that phrase, "Yeah, that's it!".

He was even a guest speaker once at Liars Anonymous and was up there talking about how he supposedly beat the lying addiction, yet he was up at the podium lying through his teeth.

i hate liaarss!!!!! i dont understand WHY they feel the need to lie about things that are obviously not true!!

this one fella told me he crashed a car that he was drivin 250miles an hour in , and thats how he broke his knee

another fella told me he robbed a penguin out of Dublin Zoo ha, and that same fella told me he jumped out a window and his phone rang while he was in the air and he answered it, while he was jumpin through the air?? ,.. and he landed on his feet and he was fine

hahahaha i just dont understand it.. at least make it believable!

 

I jumped out of a window and then rang my friend on the way down told him to order a pizza. I landed and when I got home had some great food. It can be done.

 

LOL those are some silly ass lies

 

It sounds like this person is insecure. I would qualify those as "white lies".

Maybe it rubs you the wrong way because it is frivolous and silly, but I don't think that is something to judge her morality. I don't think that automatically means she would lie to deceive, hurt, take advantage of you.

 

As a hockey player, I found this one pretty stupid

Some weird guy used to wear a back brace to school, said he broke his back playing sports. He told me it was because he was trying out for a national hockey team, told the rugby players it was when he was the captain on our Vales senior squad. He obviously just told each group something different, even going on to the girls he broke his back in a car accident.

His brother joined the year group. He was utterly amazed by the lies and told people he didn't even brake his back, the kid was wearing some brace to school to get sympathy. Turns out, around the same time his brother actually informed everybody he was not his brother, he was his cousin. He and everybody else did not understand why this kid lied.

He lied about loads of other things as well. He was like a trained pilot, an ex junkie, fuck it probably a pirate or something as well.


I hate liars. I like to call it as it is. Problem I have always had is people think I am an exaggerator if anything, and I get lumped into these group of idiotic people. I mean, looking back, that story sounds pretty over the top- but it's true.

 

A little creative hyperbole to jazz up a story is fine-as long as the recipient/s understand that's what it is. Some people would sooner lie than tell the truth. They think it makes them important ,I guess.

 

because if they told the truth, they wouldn't be lying.

 

I caught my best friend in a lie once. We were walking on campus and I asked her how her love life was to spark up some good conversation. She always went on about this one guy she was seeing who apparently was really hot and had abs? Anyways something sounded off and I said...um..are you lying to me right now? And she felt really bad and admitted she made him up..

I just don't get why she felt the need to do that.

 

As a wise man I know once said

"It takes an incredible talent to be able to amuse yourself in your head like these people, we shouldn't pity them, we should admire their incredible ability to BS themselves"

 

I had a friend when I was younger who lied all the time. She claimed to know a lot of famous people. Back when Aaron Carter (I know...) was famous, she claimed that she got a hold of his e-mail and they messaged back and forth and that they were in love, etc. etc. and that she had given him a different name that was not hers. She claimed he thanked her in one of his albums but because she gave him a different name, we couldn't find it.

That was a major lie, but she went on with it for years!

She told many many lies when we hung out, but it was weird. She also claimed to be related to someone who worked on the set of Passions (a now cancelled soap opera that all of us used to watch). No one believed her... until autographed photographs and signed scripts were mailed to her! It was a 'Holy shit! She's telling the truth!' moment.

 

there's this one guy in my unit who has done everything. he's only 21 but supposedly he has served in the german military, been a college football star, been a professional mma fighter, made a gold record..... i can't stand that guy.

LOL some of these stories are hilarious.

To the person who classed them as white lies, as far as I was told a white lie is made with good intentions to avoid hurting someone? These lies seem really pointless. Just lying for the sake of lying. That's what I don't understand. I guess you have to be one of these people to understand the appeal.

 

Maybe they have the good intention of not hurting themselves?

 

I no longer believe a word out of a fairly drunk persons mouth because it is usually bullshit lies. Myself included unfortunately, it is one of the reasons I no longer get really drunk, I just can't seem to control what is coming from my mouth while i'm drunk and I usually regret everything the next day. But that's what drink does..

 

^ I actually do the opposite which is just as terrible. I start telling people things I shouldn't which are true. Ugh. Stupid alcohol.


One of my ex friends used to lie about everything on the planet. One day she left school early to go to the dentist, but she told me she was going to the doctors to get flu vax. That kind of lie I can't understand! Replacing one boring truth with another boring lie. Maybe she just got a kick out of no one knowing where she really was. I dunno.

 

I seriously know the feeling there, the truth can be worse than a lie when alcohol is involved I think
