what an amazing mirror it was and even told me pick it up and feel how sturdy it is i picked it up it was really heavy actually and took a peek at the back and saw a sticker from valley village with a 30 price tag i kind of chuckled to myself and asked if he would go any lower than 75 he said i really couldn't then i said well i can see a tag from valley village on the back here we ended up getting the mid-century antique mirror for 15 and me and my wife still laugh about the amazing deal we got on it your call is important to us the company is in a great shape so don't pay any attention to

told everyone in the supermarket that our cat died and she was sad we don't own a cat i've had toddlers with faces hands clothes covered in peanut butter swear up and down that their brother sister was the one who ate the peanut butter also one of my favorites from a couple of years ago i didn't write that sean edit once more sean claimed he didn't write that with his hands covered in the charcoal he used to write that my ex told me he was in a car accident totaled his car broke a few ribs he was trying to get sympathy so i would get back together with him blaming the accident on me since he was distracted after the breakup he sent me a photo of his car smashed him i google searched it first pic of his make model that was wrecked he formulated the story after the picture but here's the deal the wheels didn't match so i drove by his house that evening car was fixed and in his driveway oh yes i paid the shop extra to get me in today so i could have my car to come see you if you wanted me to hahaha bro loyalty to a company would be repaid a childhood friend and i met up for coffee one day after not meeting for a few years he casually let it slip that ever since he earned a black belt he has had to register with the state as a human weapon i never said you had to sign the document if it wasn't true says the person with three emails telling me to sign a document even after i said it wasn't true sitting on her out barks my friend told me that getting a paladin changed her life i looked up her workout stats and she had used it four times in five months of owning it her husband fared a little better with using it nine times don't know why this annoyed me so much mom opened the door to my closet weed farm her what is this me panicking e tomatoes her right be careful with those lamps she never asked about my tomatoes edit this happened in my apartment she was looking for something and accidentally opened the closet my co-worker once tried to convince me that centaurs exist she said they lived in a gated community in hollywood and did all the horse stunts for movies did we both know it was a lie yes did she ever admit it was no and i admire that about her [Music] friend said he had a body count of 200 plus he was a slightly fat guy who spends all his free time on video games and hates to leave his apartment used to play dand with a pathological liar side note he had the most incredible luck with natural 20 rolls another thing about this guy is he always tried to act like a macho tough guy too who had been in serious scrapes and such so one time i'm prompted he said under his breath but obviously wanting us to hear i've got to get this shrapnel out of me we were just like sure man whatever you need to do edit just remembered another thing he did once that was even material so we were taking a break and several of us had just stepped away from the table so it was just me him and maybe one other person and he pulled out his phone and did that thing like in the movies where you don't say hi or anything he was just like talk to me pretended to have a very brief conversation and ended it with i'm on it or something like that and then hung up i speak french though i'm losing it from lack of use but one of my college guy friends started dating a girl from france he was all excited because she could talk to me in her native language and i could help translate so he brought her to her party at my sorority house and introduced us i greeted her in french with a very simple bonjour bienvenue commentar which is just hi welcome how are you blank stare and red face in response she then said in what i thought was a kind of strange accent that she's sorry she didn't understand me i looked at the guy and said i thought you told me she was french because maybe she was a different nationality and he was confused he looked at her and she just turned and left he followed then returned a bit later and said he had caught up to her and she started screaming at him in perfect midwestern accented english that he was a jerk for setting her up to look like a fool he had genuinely been excited that he could introduce her to someone she could talk to so he was blown away by her accusations and then angry that she lied she apparently felt faking an accent would make her more appealing or something i would see her around on campus after that but she avoided me like the plague pbh i felt bad for her but if you're going to fake it at least pick a country with a language you can speak you're the best i've ever had edit thank you for the award kind stranger it wasn't me i love you after i found out i was being cheated on she had the audacity to kiss me too in fifth grade a friend of ours used to try to convince us he used to hang out with the band sublime among other stuff he said that he was the person featured on the cover of their self-titled album and he used to do drugs with them and even tried heroin once we were ducking 11 years old and he claimed this all happened two years before he even moved to our school so yeah a ducking nine-year-old did all this wild it we constantly called bullet but he would just continue to lie and make up more stuff we stopped hanging out with him because he was so full of it my mom after 11 year old me accidentally destroyed her favorite vars by throwing my brother's stuffed animals around the living room i'm not mad the cat scratched me you literally don't own a cat though my fork fell onto my arms then idk an ex-housemate was the most chronic liar i've ever met

high school to get it one of my good friends back then asked to wear it for one period and would give it back at lunch he begged and begged so as a racist kid i gave in or couldn't keep saying no i guess weak on me obviously well he smashed it apparently smashed the glass to test it gave it back and said it was a fake and that's why the glass cracked and said he didn't do it and it just fell apart [ __ ] became a medical doctor and is now involved in politics and holds state office i'm still pissed about the watch he never admitted he broke cause he was salty and jealous d head then d head now when i was a kid the internet wasn't a thing so my friends were whoever happened to live in the neighborhood one kid was a well-known liar and exaggerator we were maybe 14 years old at this

harmless he told me he developed a theory on how to bend light passing through air and pitched the idea to the physics department which set up an experiment and proved his theory to be true he was a general studies major i kept pressing him well which professor was it how did the experiment work etc just kept digging deeper and changing the subject when my friend was an infant her mother put her two-year-old sibling in her crib while the mom left the room briefly when mom came back my friend was crying and had teeth marks on her forehead when mom asked the elder sibling what happened she calmly said she bit herself my supervisor was pissed off at me after we had some issues and she told me excuse me i want to go to the toilet while she truly went to release her anger to other

work with a guy that was a serial liar couldn't tell the truth it is life depended on it so many lies but this is my personal fave background keep in mind that if the nfl combined the 40-yard dash is the standard for speed 4.5 seconds is great 4.4 is elite and the fastest time ever recorded by a prospect is i believe 4.24 seconds this yups i worked with claimed that back in his army days he ran a 4.2 flat in combat boots let's just say i'm skeptical epstein has committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell millipedes have 1 thousand legs trump won the election by a lot the easter bunny yay

shared day off he agreed and then the day of cancelled and told me it was because he needed to take care of his fish plot twist here is that i told a few of my friends two of which worked with me and the guy and i went on and on about how rude it is of him to not even give me a believable lie those friends were all hanging out and went to walmart that day and ran into my crushed out buying food and supplies for his fish he told them how excited he was about the fish too i felt like the biggest [ __ ] a friend told me to come and visit a 120 mile journey because he was off work he was at work

the case i met someone who told me that he drank too much with his friends had an alcohol overdose and died after he died his friends threw him under a bed where he rotted for three days before coming back to life and if i didn't believe him i could ask his friends i haven't seen him since i dated a girl who was a pathological liar i didn't know it was actually a thing when my dad originally told me about it i thought he was exaggerating after leaving the relationship i realized how ridiculous the lies were and how stupid i was for believing them but i guess that saying blinded by love is also true among the lies one time she called out of work because according to her she was on her parents boat out in the ocean and the boat ran out of gas so they had to call a friend to come rescue her and her family and toe them to shore i found out later it was actually because she had a party and was wasted she met donald trump this was back in like 2013 and his associates in atlantic city they invited her and her friend to join them as they drove around atlantic city visiting his casino and eating the best food and drinking top shelf drinks she didn't have to pay for anything she got mona when we were dating but i was fine she said it was anxiety-induced mo no according to the doctor which is why i didn't have it this was around the same time she told me that she met some guy at a party that was hitting on her but she didn't hook up with him and then i found out a week later she did she was previously engaged but she called off the engagement this is actually true and went to the pawn shop to pawn off her engagement ring and used the money to buy alcohol she totaled three cars in her lifetime but she was able to convince the insurance company it wasn't her fault and
