This is an ancient example, but in case anyone hasn't read it, the Eddie Murphy "hit the floor" story:


I mention this story because my grandma's caregiver recently told us about how this happened to her in-laws back in the 80's. I didn't have the heart to tell her I knew she was bullshitting, because she's generally a pretty nice person. Anyone else have any STDH encounters in real life?

I don't get why people do this. I can understand being gullible and blindly passing on a made-up story, but assuming they believe the story to be true and want others to think it's true (which I guess isn't always the case) why would you consciously make up parts of it?
