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

GlenWhen we were about 13-14, a new kid called Glen joined the school. It was an all boys school, so was just one massive pyramid bullying scheme. New kids were very much the bottom of the pile, especially if they were a bit thick, shit at sports and Welsh - so Glen, basically.
But the thing that made Glen the target of abuse more than would normally be expected in such cuircumstances was the fact that every single word that cam eout of him mouth was a lie. Everything from little white lies about having seen the previous night's Eastenders to massive whoppers involving his dad being a ninja in the SAS. It could be really weird at times, like after games lessons, he would say stuff like "did you see that great header is scored?" when he'd spent the whole time sat on the halfway line, making daisy-chains.
I always wondered if he had some form of Autism or Tourette's that meant he compulsively lied or was incapable of telling the truth. Or maybe he was just desperate to be accepted, so lied to fit in? Either way, he bullshitted non-stop the whole time he was in school.
Looked him up on FaceBook recently. He's now an estate agent. Go figure.
