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

sickness and diorrhoeaIt was a very bad week. I had worked no less than 55hours over four days and I just couldn't face any more. I pulled a sick day on the Friday as I was just too tired to comprehend any more work. I stated the time-honoured reason of it being due to sickness and diorrhoea. The truth was; if I had gone to any GP they would have signed me off for a fortnight with work-related-stress but I only needed a bit of sleep.
This would have been of no consequence but... About a week later my then boss got pulled over for drink-driving and was caught because he was spotted vomiting into a ditch at the side of the road. He was well over the limit. In his defence he stated that he was vomiting because "there was a bug doing the rounds at work", citing my example as his evidence. It didn't work and he was banned from driving anyway. I went back to doing silly long weeks (for a while anyway).
