Only thing left out is the protagonist magically suddenly remembering exactly who the bad guy was and going on a detailed list of all their rude antics and how the restaurant totally owned them by messing with their food.

If there's one thing I've learnt from working with the public in various ways, it's that you should definitely definitely give your personal contact information to them as soon as possible.

Today I remembered That Girl. We all know That Girl because she's had a really exciting life! She's a model, and she totally has like four boyfriends, and she had cancer but she's better now, etc. etc. So, today I was thinking about the last That Girl I knew and how she once told me her family owned the Sturgis motorcycle rally. I texted my friend to ask him if he remembered and he responded immediately with: "Oh, yeah, she told us that, and then she told us that Dr. Dre came to Sturgis and wanted to perform so he auditioned for her, but she didn't like it, so she told him to gently caress off." This woman was every day of 38 years old when she told us this.

Last time I saw her was at a friend's wedding and the only STDH was that apparently the wait staff refused to understand her on purpose and outright ignored her when she said she wanted milk for her toddler. But I have a lot of stories about this girl from like ten years ago. A LOT. Like how she had thirteen million dollars (she was very wealthy, but not that wealthy), and she had adopted a baby from a friend who was white trash and worked at Sonic and did meth so she literally just TOOK THE BABY (the kid exists, but we think she's just the godmother or a friend of the family, because he definitely doesn't live with her) and her name means something in French (it doesn't). Also she speaks Tagalog (she doesn't) and her dad was the chief of police (no). One time, we sat down to dinner when all of a sudden she takes her phone out of her pocket and (not pressing buttons or anything) just screams NO I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MONEY into it and then threw it into her purse. Again, no button or anything. Then she refused to talk about it all night. Most of the weird stuff she says is easily disproved by Google and she is an extremely wealthy and successful person, so we're really not sure where this behavior comes from. e: I actually don't know how to get a hold of her anymore, in answer to your actual question.

This sounds a lot like one of my old friends. Over the course of one party I overheard her tell random people about : 1. Sky diving over Stonehenge 2. Buying a Ferrari 3. Selling her current business for $5m 4. She is pregnant, engaged, and moving to Europe with a middle eastern prince 5. Can get us all back stage for the Nine Inch Nails show for free 6. She'll pay me back for the pizza Absolutely none of which was even remotely true. She was just a pathological liar and always had to "one up" any story she heard.

Had a student like that. Family is rich and has a jet (his dad was a navy dentist who had recently retired, so, no) Had his pilots licenseat 14 (asked his mom about it and she says "Maybe in a computer game?") Took his dad flying one day and as a prank whispered into his mike "Ignore what I'm about to say ", and then throwing the plane around yelling "Mayday! Mayday!" into his mike (see above) Had a metal Despite that, came in with a cast on his arm (his mom said he complained to the doctor until he got one, not that he had anything really wrong) Was fireproof (got tapped by a flame in lab one day, jerked his hand back with an "Ow!" and a girl asked innocently "I thought you were fireproof? " I had to turn around to hide my attempt not to laugh) Was adopted (true!) from Australia (actually Nevada), and so had a terribly fake accent. For a week. Over Thanksgiving break said he had to go up to New York to help Grumman with the problems they were having with the engines on the F-16 (so, so many things wrong there) Had this idea for a forearm mounted flamethrower the size of a Red Bull can, and there were generals interested in his idea. After graduation was "just chillin' at my apartment and dj-ing on the weekends. I get like 1200 a gig" While his Facebook had pics of him at his parent's house. Surprisingly, he rarely got called out on those. Most people just went "Huh. Ok." and moved on. One guy did go "That kid's so full of poo poo! " and we couldn't bring ourselves to give him a cursing in class penalty.

Worked a lovely dead end job at one point with a coworker who was full of poo poo like that. I recall two of her biggest stories. One was that she used to be a truck driver. She did not even have a regular driver's license, but no she totally used to have a job where she'd ride in the cab for long hauls, and the pay was super great. I think I said to someone else at the time that it sounded more like she was dating a truck driver and traveled with him, or possibly was a sex worker with a truck driving client. The other story that stands out is the ultimate end result of her continually escalating stories and I guess she got really into NCIS, because she started telling everyone she was ex-NCIS, just like the show. This was a great and entirely believable story because, firstly, we're Canadian and NCIS is an American agency, and secondly, it was totally reasonable for her to have done that as a young woman and then settled down in her thirties to a lovely job at a car wash making maybe $10/hr. She got pregnant while she was working and would barge into conversations to let you know that no matter how tired or busy you are, it didn't remotely compare to what she, as a pregnant woman, was going through and/or when the baby was born she was going to be so much busier than what you were complaining about. It was not her first kid. It was like her fourth. She had custody of none of them.

MrUnderbridge posted:Had a student like that. That reminds me of a classmate I had at university. Guy was no older than 21 but he really really really wanted to tell you he was an Afghanistan vet and also a Navy Seal, and also did training with the Green Berets, etc. Also he was a CIA operative at 18 like some Secret Agent Cody Banks poo poo. Nobody called him on it they just nodded and hoped he'd shut up or try and change the subject, and then the moment he walked out of the room everyone went 'god gently caress he's annoying'. The real fun came when an actual vet a year below my class started prodding him with specific questions (basic ones, mind you) like "what was your MOS" that he just could not answer. Also when he visited the uni's shooting sports club and everyone there called him on his poo poo because he was actively dangerous in how mind bogglingly stupid he was, pretending to play tactical.

The last That Girl I encountered was in the early 2010s, when we were both in our early-mid 20s. She had a fake Norwegian last name and every member of every northern European band was in love with her. Every time I went to a show and ran into the band outside or something, I'd ask them if they knew her, and they invariably said no. When I told them that she told me they were in love with her, they'd just laugh. I don't remember all the details because she randomly disappeared out of my life shortly afterward and none of my friends ever had contact with her again. If I didn't have pictures of her, I would have assumed that she was some weird fever dream. edit: Fleta Mcgurn posted:Most of the weird stuff she says is easily disproved by Google and she is an extremely wealthy and successful person, so we're really not sure where this behavior comes from. To be honest, it sounds like she's bored. YeahTubaMike has a new favorite as of 17:36 on Sep 9, 2020 |

Why do all the wannabe military types try to be SEALs and poo poo? It's not at all hard to believe that some schmuck was a combat arms grunt and that's still impressive to anyone that hasn't been that but would be impressed at special forces. Like I know multiple guys who were in combat, got out by like 22, and immediately became fat boring nerds who like beer and video games. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 17:37 on Sep 9, 2020 |

Because they've bought into media propaganda that being a high speed, low drag operator is basically the coolest thing ever. It's a dumb fantasy about killing people basically. It's essentially the same poo poo you see with right-wing wackos currently happening where the militarized police force and government agents are invariably the good guys. They basically lack any interesting personality traits and hide it behind some misguided pop culture machismo bullshit.

I'm so glad other people have STDH friends. I had one when I worked in Disney who told us he starred in an Off-Broadway show (I guess he didn't realize IBDB was a thing? The show he said he starred in straight up didn't exist, one with a similar name played ~5 years before he said he starred in it). He was best friends with famous Broadway actors and would "talk" with them regularly while we were hanging out. He was rich and lived in Paris in high school (he was a middle class kid fro bumfuck PA). He also told us he went to NYU Tisch and that was the school he was doing the DCP through (we saw his nametag and it said some Community College in his bumfuck town). Originally we just kind of shrugged off his lies, some we even half believed, until another friend and I had a day off together and we started discussing how unbelievable some of his stories were and coordinated the lies we uncovered. He still continued to lie even when we started questioning his tales. Is it the attention that these people crave? Even negative? It's just bizarre.

It's compulsive lying and is a marker for a myriad of personality disorders, minor and severe. They don't really do it because they think they can get away with it, they just do it. You're asking why people with mental illness develop a complex based around the consistent need to be valued and receive validation. It's one of the most commonly misunderstood and stigmatized compulsions and classifying it as "attention seeking" is essentially no different than claiming other disordered behaviors are inherently attention seeking. Is it aggravating to deal with? Yes, it is, but it's not really all that hard to understand why it happens, insomuch that the traits of many other personality disorders are intrinsically linked to a lack of impulse control and a tendency towards socially inappropriate habits.

I have no real idea why I started it, or what I hoped to achieve other than ‘will they believe THIS?’ It makes me cringe when I read these stories because even though they’re way worse than I was, I hate that I did it or a couple-few years.

One of the major tells for The Lying Kid was that almost every whopper was followed by a snicker and a "Ts." sound. As if he couldn't believe we bought it, when really nobody did. But at the same time he would get super defensive and aggressive if called out. He definitely had some major issues.
