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.

Can't help but feel the same wayPeople refuse to listen to me when I try to explain the issues with most modern technology (N.B. not because I'm a liar, it's that they don't understand!)
My parents for example, my dad wanted to get himself a nice LCD TV about a year and a half ago, but I recommended he wait a while until the 1080P televisions became available (he didn't quite understand this). I also explained to him that the viewing angle at the time on LCD TV's was atrocious as well as they fact that Sky HD was a while away, and most of the things he'd be watching would be in SD and blocky and ugly.
Did he listen? did he bollocks.
A fortnight later a 50" sony screen turned up (My dad doesn't go by halves, really). And thus all of my complaints held true, but my dad doesn't notice it.
He has sky HD now, and whenever he's showing it off (to whoever is in front of the screen, as it's all black to anyone at the side!) with his "This is high definition" crap, he never realises that he has Sky Sports 1 on instead of Sky Sports HD. Silly pops. He just can't tell the difference.
My goodness, I didn't realise that my little reply would be so long.
