Fantasists
Eddie 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.

CV = Complete Viction
I had a variation of this when working as a head programmer. We had a bunch of CVs come in and I half recognised one of them supplied by an agency. Some details fitted a guy on my course while other item, the rest being complete fantasy. Including the bit about him passing his degree.
I called him in just to see the look on his face as he entered the interview room.
