Do you work with any compulsive liars?

I do. He’s been spouting bullshit on the radio all day, but it’s not worth the trouble to call him out.

His grandson is a sophomore in high school. Apparently he already has multiple football scholarship offers. He wants to be a veterinarian, and I’m pretty sure Florida has one of the best veterinary programs in the country, but he says Florida doesn’t offer that so right now his grandson is leaning towards Valdosta State(I went there for a semester, don’t remember a veterinarian program).

Last year, he spent a week talking about how him and his grandson was going to the Georgia-Florida game in Jacksonville, then the Monday after the game he said they watched it on tv(my man Donnie called him on that one)

He’s a direct descendant of both the Hatfields and McCoys and is invited to the family reunion.

He has a race truck that he bent the frame on when he hit a mailbox doing donuts in his subdivision.

He’s turned down management jobs.

Bill Elliott has asking him to be partners with him on a drag racing venue.

Bill Elliott used to not like him because he used to beat Bill Elliott in all the local races before Bill made it in NASCAR

He used to babysit Chase Elliott on weekends

The house he was born in is the oldest house in Alabama

He spoke at Elvis’s funeral

There’s countless others, but those are what sticks out.

You could also make up some shit like “Have you seen that albino beaver in the pond” and he’ll tell you he’s about ran over it in his loader a few times.

Shit’s annoying

Did you ask him why a highly-recruited football player would consider going to Valdosta State?

You should also ask how they are recruiting a sophomore. Pretty sure they can’t do it until the summer after their sophomore year.

It’s not worth the hassle to question him.

It’s like he doesn’t know I religiously keep up with college football recruiting

Even if they could, why would Florida and Valdosta State be after the same recruit? SEC school or division 2 school
 
I've got a father and a brother whose stories always morph from the original event to something that portrays him as a hero, genius or trendsetter.

:rolleyes:
 
my uncle once told me he caught 100 fish in an hour.

I was confused as to why he was bragging to me about fishing, but I asked him what kind of net he used.

This guy is great at his job. He just has a hard time with the truth. He’s retiring soon(or says he is, so he’ll probably work another 20 years)

I have a sub who is a pretty bad liar. Before Covid she was always late to work or called in sick a lot, and always had some BS excuse that was easily disproven or turned out to be very flimsy. Since we've been working from home it hasn't really been a problem, and she mostly gets her work done.

one of my Jr High friends always claimed his football career was ended by a devastating knee injury. Knee injury so bad, I never knew him to be in crutches or anything else to indicate knee injury

He was back up D lineman, he told story of one game where he multiple sacks AND returned an INT for a TD

Me "And yet, you were still the back up next week?"

what position did you play?
 
Don’t work with any compulsive liars....but I was married to one.

On the one hand....you get to go home from coworkers....on the other hand you don’t get to pick your co workers, but you do get to pick your spouse.

Lots of good lessons there.
 
I did. It was the bosses son. But something was wrong with him. He had physical developmental issues and he was a raging alcoholic. He claimed to be a writer for the the WWF (we worked in a machine shop in upstate rural MI). He claimed he mailed all his work in. He would take credit for big storylines and tell me how Vince McMahon would call him regularly. He told me Yokozuna wasn’t really fat. It was just pillows. And pretty soon he would come back super thin and win the belt back.

One time I made the mistake of inviting him to a party. He showed up with a 12 pack and a 5th of Bacardi and killed it all no problem. This guy was barely 5 feet tall. He said he learned to drink like that with Stone Cold Steve Austin. When another buddy called him out and started making fun of him he attacked him and tried to stone cold stun him. Obviously instead he got his ass kicked. Then he locked himself in a room and started slapping himself and cussing himself out. It was a bizarre.

Big wrestling fan. Big drinker. Pretty sure he wasn’t working w the WWF at the time.

I used to work with a guy who wasn’t really a compulsive liar, he just had one major lie that he never wavered from.

Apparently he banged both Shania Twain and Allison Kraus before they made it big. Could have convinced me with one or the other, but I had to call BS with both

I would believe it if it was before Shanaynay got her grill fixed. Her grill used to look like a mangled rake.
