Some people seem to lead complete fantasy lives with lies stacked on lies stacked on more lies. Tell us about the ones you've met.
BTW, if any of you want to admit to making up all your QOTW stories, now would be a good time to do it.

When I was youngerI made stuff up to get people to like me. Unsurprisingly, it didn't work. Surprisingly, I had friends anyway. I grew out of it, and became a barrister.
Lawyer jokes aside (lying would actually end my career on the spot, and entail a prison sentence, as one gentleman found out not so long ago), I hear the most outrageous lies on a daily basis.
Transcript of police constable interviewing suspect for criminal damage:
PC: did you kick the fence then?
Suspect: no, not at all.
PC: but your girlfriend says you did.
Suspect: oh alright then, I did.
PC: (not listening, and obviously expecting a denial) so you're saying she was mistaken?
Suspect: no, I was just trying it on.
PC: (not quite believing how quickly this investigation will be over) so you *did* kick the fence then? Your girlfriend was right when she told us?
Suspect: yeh, but I'll sort her out when I get home.
It's one of the best feelings in the world to catch a witness lying blatantly and watch the jury tutting and shaking their heads, knowing that the defendant is going home / to jail*
Doesn't happen much unfortunately.
*Delete as appropriate according to whether you prosecute / defend.

Doesn't happen much?You mean it's not like Legally Blonde? My whole world has fallen apart. *sobs*
