FantasistsEddie Spunkbubble says: I used to know a sad case who fancied himself as a bit of a 007 and bragged that he always carried a loaded 9mm pistol in his attache case "just in case". Overheard by an off-duty copper, he was asked to make good on his claim. A packed lunch, red face and a stern warning "not to act the twat" and he never did it again. Tell us of Walter Mitty types.

I knew a guy at uni who used to make completely innocuous shit up.These were really mundane lies; they would never impress people, or cast him in a better light, or get him something for nothing.
It took people a while to realise he was doing it, since the lies were always entirely plausable; having just come from working in the library he might instead tell people that he had just come from the pub. Or he'd say he spent the weekend hanging with friends in Bristol, when it was really friends in London.
The only time we actually managed to catch him, was when he claimed that a very attractive girl we knew had slept with some total dweeb... he told this story 4 separate times to 4 separate people, each time claiming that one of the other 4 people had told him. It was only a week later when we met up that it transpired he'd simply made it up... again, for no apparent reason.
