Used to work with a guy 20 years ago who looked like someone's grandad even in his 30s but always had lots of tall tales about all the work colleagues he had shagged in previous jobs.
He was renowned for being full of shit.
Until one day.....
I took him with me on a job we were doing and we stopped at a Wellworths store he had worked in a few years before. We were only in the shop 15 mins and in front of me 2 female members of staff wrote their contact details on till receipts and passed them to him asking him to get in touch asap.
It was a proper wtf moment.  |

Not just workplace either. Used to dive with a regular buddy (on the deeper stuff) but regaling tales of derring do to newbie divers the depth always seemed to get considerably deeper than the actual depth, I should know I was with him.  |

"Quite often it's the tell tale sign of a drug addict"
I had a guy working with me at weekends during the summer. His bullshit was unbelievable, no Matter what you'd done or where you'd been, he'd done it bigger, better, further.
He kept asking for subs for food etc so my suspicions started. A few weeks later we went out on a Saturday night, all good fun etc but he was nowhere to be seen the next morning.
Discovered him in his room crashed out, I honestly thought he was dead, ended up getting the paramedics in. Turns out he'd overdosed on drugs after the night out.
Cheeky git even rang me a few days later wanting the whole weekends pay.

We recently went to am event where we were seated at a table with two couples we didn't know. One couple gave off interesting vibes, she had drawn her eyebrows on in the dark with a sharpie and he had done everything we'd done and all the things we hadn't. He'd worked in every job we mentioned and been everywhere in the world practically. Politeness prevented us calling him out along with slight pity for his wife. |

When he said he'd done everything you said you'd done, I bet his wife looked surprised.

There’s always the guy who if you won an elephant he’d win the box the elephant come in. There’s a chap that works in our depot whose the biggest bullshitter going. To the point that his nickname is pothole as everyone avoids him. |

these people are entertaining at least though once you read them ... just view them as free comedy is how I see it ... I find most humans amusing in some form or another anyway to observe so a tale spinner is no different ..... |

I've known a few people like this. Usually their lies are pretty obvious and harmless.
One guy used to brighten up an entire office with his tales of owning a sports car that he'd never bring to work as it wasn't secure (unlike the rough part of town in which he lived). A particular highlight was when he showed everyone a picture of it, from Max Power and one of the chaps actually knew the real owner of the car.  |

no. Eventually we let him have his way and continued a conversation with the other couple who were actually interested in a two way exchange |

Having had a fairly interesting life both work and personal,I have been known to tell some stories that have had some looks of " yeah yeah whatever"
However I can guarantee that any stories I tell are true and genuine.
I'm just a good story teller and I want to build the scene which may come across as bullshitting. |

Come across a few army Walt’s over the years very easy to spot as they all served in the SAS and when you probed them they said can’t speak about it and hide behind the official secrets one guy told me he lost his leg in NI but when you worked out his age he was still at school when op banner finished I just let him waffle on he wasn’t hurting anyone probably had a lonely existence and this was his way to sound interesting |

I used to work with a bloke, really nice, but a total fantasist. Claimed to have played for Man City in his youth and then had a conversation with me about how he'd driven at Le Mans. I used to go every year and there was no way he'd ever done that. In the end he was sacked. Sad really, he was really nice but definitely something not right about him. |
