This is a question Bullshit and Bullshitters

We've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.

Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

I'll start with an easy one
I have so many stories for this, but seeing as I should be revising for my A-Levels I'll start with this one.

Had a friend about a year ago who always bragged about how she was a "natural born singing sensation"* who didn't need any vocal training because the teacher she tried to hire (By HERSELF, without any money from parents etc.) kicked her out because she was "Too good already and close to perfect"*. Then she wanted to join the band that me and a mate drunkenly decided would be awesome to have even though he could barely play bass and I could barely play piano. She sang Evanescence's "My Immortal" and we laughed in her face when she said she sang it that way because "Amy Lee's voice isn't as good as mine so I sang it how it should really be sung"*.

Then there's the whole "I auditioned for X-Factor but they didn't let me on because I was too amazing and they wanted someone who couldn't make it without the show"* malarkey.

Her voice? Imagine Ke$ha without autotune, halfway through that bottle of Jack she's brushing with and simultaneously being strangled. Now think of something worse. There you have it.


*She actually said that. Faith in humanity -1

Well this is what the X-Factor is all about -
The joy we get from sneering at such comically deluded, arrogant people. There's nothing like seeing someone who puts themselves on a pedestal knocked down. It's what most of life is about.
