Dates....

[–]apcolleen 5 points6 points ago

There is a guy on OKCupid right now telling me he is babysitting a recovering alcoholic. He keeps using the phrase "these wealthy businessmen".

I'm not even sure how that is supposed to impress...

I'm having trouble assembling a narrative in my head from those two sentences.

I work with a compulsive liar.

I do this for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week...

It irritates me when they stick to their guns and don't concede defeat when you present them with solid evidence, as if their false memory somehow negates truth. It bugs me even more when it's not even a fake personal story.

For instance, say a friend quotes a line from a movie or a song incorrectly. If I feel somewhat confident that I have a better memory, I will suggest what I believe is the correct version. They argue, I look it up on IMDB or in the insert in a CD and show them. Their response: "No, I'm pretty sure it's <something completely stupid>."

I don't really get why people dismiss a story just because it's obvious bullshit. I mean, once it stops being believable it should be praised or dismissed based on how interesting it is.

I feel like this tendency to spin wild threads has been around for a long time. At least since some dude came back from a hike through the mountains of Greece with some tales of the immortal natives they spied on, right? Some people are just story tellers.

Others, like compulsive liars, yeah fuck those guys. I don't care if you beat up four guys in a bar in Omaha once. I give your story 2 stars for being completely unengaging.

I fucking love calling people out on their bullshit stories. Like when someone is blatantly lying to your face and you just sarcastically stare back at them. It's great.

this needs to autopost after every "My girlfriend" thread.

From the same kid all senior year:

"I didn't come to school yesterday because I was chased up a tree by a pack of wolves." In Florida.

"The scar on my chest was from getting stabbed in a gang fight." He had open-heart surgery as a child, according to his father, which would have been cool, but no, he had to lie about it.

"There's a fox that walks with me to school every day. No, you can't see him, he's not coming tomorrow."

Everyone would stare straight at him and calmly say "that is complete bullshit" whenever he'd tell his bullshit stories, but for god knows why he would never admit to lying, stop lying, or provide an actually interesting true story.

How on Earth does someone get like that?

Someone needs to put upvotes in this mans hand and use this as a response to those damned upvote throwing memes.

I'm an IT guy, and I had to go hook up some guy's PC to our network. He was apparently moving offices or something. Anyways, I show up, and he tells me to hold on a second, he's got to finish emailing [insert this super important guy here]. Then he types away for a few seconds, tells me its sent, then asks me what I need.

I tell him I'm here to get his PC on the network. That was a pretty uncomfortable few minutes.

[–]JarlaxleForPresident 0 points1 point ago

My girlfriend lied to me for half a year about racing in triathlons, and showed me medals and everything. Turns out they were her dads. Then she lied about her dad dying in the E.O.D. (at this point I have never met him.) and I felt bad. Then she started saying how her 'step-dad' wanted me over for dinner, so I said yes and said, "hello Mr. King, hello Mrs. King" and the conversation escalated and the topic of how she was doing in school arose, being junior year I said well, because I go to a trade school and we are in the same shop. Then I said, she's been doing well since her father died. (at this point I absolutely couldn't handle myself because I 'knew' her father died and felt like an ass). Turns out Mr. King was the real father. No step sisters like she told me about. No brother who loved art like she told me about. No triathlons, no races at all, except for swimming, she is an amazing swimmer. And at this point, she walks out of the room, doesn't talk to me for two weeks, I thought she gave me the silent treatment. Turns out she was in therapy and had no phone. She was too embarrassed to talk about anything after that. Well, wish me luck.
