I just remembered a girl from work who wasn't a compulsive liar but: she told her little brother (also worked there) that she was pregánte and had to get an abortion and it would cost 50€ so could he give her 50€ right now before their parents find out. She wasn't pergamot she just needed drinkin money for the week-end. And the reason I know this happened is she told everyone "oh yeah I didn't have any money so this is how I got 50€ off my stupid kid brother lmaoooooo".

He also said that the Childline poster in the school nurses office came to life and beckoned to him. Both stories scared gently caress out of me.

I worked with a guy who was a former UPS driver who claimed he had all kinds of sexual escapades in the back of one of the trucks. But before that he told me the deliveries were a constant grind and you couldn't go home until your truck was empty so the delivery men are constantly running around like madmen. So I find his story very hard to believe. He was also a 37 year old man who'd never cooked or cleaned for himself because he always had his mother or a girlfriend do it for him. Not a bullshit story but one day he was talking about how expensive it is to rent porn (this was like 2009). So I was like "Dude, you know you can get that poo poo for free on the internet right?". He was bewildered. The next day he comes in and practically yells "Hey, [my name]! I checked out porno tube like you said!". He was a big goofy moron. Most of the people I worked with were varying degrees of weird and/or terrible. One lady got poo poo canned because she use to shoot up in the bathroom and then go back to her work station. This happened more than once before they did anything about it. Her job was quality inspector on artificial kneecaps. Futanari Damacy posted:This “video” you watched was just the movie “Con Air” It's not a "These hands are registered weapons!" thing. It's more of a "Don't be a tough guy, no outcome is worth it." deal. Ralph Hurley posted:These stories reminded me of the time an army recruiter visited one of my classes in loving 7th grade. Obviously they weren’t signing up 13 year olds but they were trying to get everyone (boys only) excited about becoming real life army men. Two uniformed dudes occupied my study hall pointing out skinny weaklings and fat slobs and yelling about how they were going to whip them into shape. Followed by a demonstration of the kind of demeaning drill sarge “you little maggot!” screaming we would be subjected to on the first day of boot camp. All the bullies and jocks were loving psyched that day but I was like sir no sir this poo poo is not for me. This is horrifying. It's bad enough recruiters go to schools but this is just bald faced fascism.

Genesplicer posted:I remember in 5th grade there was a kid in our class who was a chronic liar. If he were an old man, he would be called a "Spinner of Tall Tales". In 5th grade, he was just a liar. He loved to tell us how relatives died in horrible ways. My mom once taught a third-grader like this. Most of his stories were fun stupid kid lies (like the pet rattlesnake he fed rabbit blood to), but he definitely once said that his dad had been crushed to death by a truck, and Mom had to call the kid's house just to check, because... you never know, right? (The compulsive liar kid's dad was still alive. No truck-crushing incident had occurred.)

Futanari Damacy posted:You need to learn cursive writing! Alllll of your correspondence in your adult life, without exception, is going to be written in cursive! Nobody will take anything you write seriously if it’s not written in cursive. Printing is for dumb stupid babies and not for serious people who want good jobs. What’s a “computer”? I was assigned cursive writing homework all throughout grade school and I will never stop being mad about it. Had reams of those stupid pre-printed cursive practice sheets with the dotted lines everywhere. Years later my dad would just tell me to write in all capital letters because that's what he does. He was right, and all of the miserable shitheads who rode my rear end nonstop about my handwriting were wrong. Thanks Dad.

In 2022, a ProPublica and Detroit Free Press investigation titled "The Nonprofit College That Spends More on Marketing Than Financial Aid" highlighted its low graduation rate and high student debt rate compared to comparable institutions, as well as its unconventional management structure. That month, Baker College threatened legal action against a former faculty member relating to a non-disparagement clause included in a settlement with Baker.

Going back to welding for a sec; My dad was a welder for several years and apparently got pretty good - then he'd had enough of that stuff and went on to make hose, of all things. I did some welding in shop class in HS, when I told him what we were up to and showed him some of my work he smirked and said "Good times, huh?" But did say I did a pretty good job for someone who'd never done it before, and gave me some pointers, so that was kinda cool

He kicked his rear end then called the cops and the cops told him that they needed more people like him and he should consider becoming a cop. It's obviously a bullshit story but made me laugh that he was saying the cops were going around recruiting people based on their ability to whoop some rear end. Lol. poo poo. Was applying for some crappy gas station job. One of the questions on the application was 'T/F Is marijuana use more dangerous than alcohol use' Manager told me he had to bend a few rules for me to get the job because I answered false. Told him that he had a point. See, my brother just drank himself to death earlier that month after alcoholism lead him to a state of vagrancy halfway across the country. If it wasn't for Kamala Harris' crackdown on marijuana, he'd be back home recovering from hitting rock bottom instead of puking the last of his life force out on the ground in a cold alleyway in LA. A miserably, lonely death his family only only found out months after the fact after his parole officer finally bothered to track down his next of kin to send the ashes to. So yes, the idiocy in this country about marijuana put on fine display with this here questionnaire was clearly more dangerous than the alcohol usage.

Er, earlier that month we'd heard my brother drank himself to death. He'd passed 3 months previous to us ever finding out about it. Thanks it was .. a while ago, so I'm mostly over it. Worst part was when my step brother who skipped out on $50 bail for being a general idiot the judge wanted out of the state to be someone else's problem decided to come back for the wake. He was in town for about 4 hours before the cops picked him up, then had him spend the night in custody before send him back to the same judge who put him on bail for $50 dollars again and told him to stay away longer.

More of just a lying kid thing than a specifically bullshit story, but in seventh grade we had a kid who did a stand up comedy act for the talent show. He got a lot of laughs but what none of us knew was rather than just being a naturally funny guy and working a tight 5, he stole all his bits from comedians on Comedy Central shows (which none of us watched). After a while he quietly got called out on it and stopped doing it altogether. But he never did learn the lesson of originality and just began quoting South Park and other shows to kids without cable. Needless to say he didn’t have a budding career in comedy and now works as an underling in some kitchen. Had he actually put effort in and tried to develop his own material, who knows where he’d be now!
