Bullshit and BullshittersWe'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

Oldest House In The NeighborhoodIn fast-growing areas of the American West like Corrales, NM, the collapse of the housing bubble temporarily drained the septic tank of real estate bullshit. Real estate porn has got to be the worst.
I went to go help when my parents retired and moved out of our childhood home. The neighbors across the street saw us working and invited us for drinks.
"Look at our picturesque house," the neighbor exclaimed. "Various people built it over the years. As you can see, the kitchen here is the oldest part. We think it may be more than 100 years old!"
Having been raised across the street, I saw a problem. As I explained, "I remember when there was no house here. The first residence here was a mobile home, maybe 20 years ago. This kitchen is barely 15 years old. It just looks old because of the amateurish construction skills of the first residents."
Stopped that train of bullshit before it left the station. Felt bad about plundering his liquor cabinet, but that's where the oldest part of the house was kept.
