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

Not me, but a story told to me
Now this is either a bullshit story or one of the best lies I have ever heard.

Little Jimmy has been annoying his older brother for sometime. He goes into older brother's room and breaks things. He tells tales on him to mum and dad. He does all those things that annoying younger siblings do.

Big brother has had enough, and decides to prank little Jimmy good and proper.

He gets all the photo albums and takes out all photos of little Jimmy from before the age of 2. He then, with aid of newly doctored albums, explains to little Jimmy that he was adopted. "See, little Jimmy. There is no evidence of your existence before you were 2. That's when my mummy and daddy adopted you."

Cue lots of tears and a real telling off for older brother.

Sorry for lack of effort, but don't believe the story is true. Really wish it was.

There's very few photos of my younger brother as a baby*
So we didn't need to alter photo albums to convince him. It also helped that he takes after my dad's side of the family while my older brother and I take after my mother. I'm pretty sure he wasn't 100% sure until my mother found an old photo of my dad when he was about 18 and it turned out they looked identical at that age. Children are so cruel.

*my theory is that mum was over the whole "let's photograph _everything_" phase by the time she had him.
