    Yeah, I’ve a “friend” who’s always telling those type of “tales”. Been going on for over twenty years at this stage.

    There was the one about the guy who finds out he’s about to ride a member of the travelling community when she tells him to “horse it into me, boss!”.

    Or the one about the “closet goblin” where a guy takes acid and basically kidnaps a child with special needs and locks him into a wardrobe.

    Or the one about the guy who “shíts the bed” in his girlfriend’s house and blames it on the dog, which gets put down as it was old and crapping inside is a sign they aren’t going to last long.

    Or the one about the guy pulling a “strange”, hot, girl, who, during sex, stuffs a face cloth up his arse telling him he’ll “cum like a horse”. She whips it out as he’s about to blow his “muck” but instead of the frontal “joy” he ends up shítting all over the place. He then runs to the bathroom to clean up and when he returns the hot girl is rolling around and making “poo angels” on the bed.

    All juvenile, fictitious, nonsense and all told with a straight face and a “swear to god”.
    You really need to calm down with those inverted commas.

    What do people get out of this?
    Some kind of deception joy?
    I smile politely when they've finished their performance because there is nothing to be gained from challenging them. However, I've never understood the motive.

    Some people believe everything they hear and read, sure it must be true if it's on Facebook.

    That story about minding a neighbour's dog while they're away, the dog dies, so they have to put it in a suitcase to carry it to the vet and the suitcase gets stolen. I've heard that story three times from three separate people.

    Then of course there's Douglas Adams's story about the packet of biscuits which I've also heard people pass off as their own (of course Douglas probably borrowed it as well).

    Not really what you were looking for maybe.



    Bit late bringing it to a vet if it’s already dead no?

    I had a friend who, with a straight face, told me he knew a guy who kept a woman chained up in his basement and was going to try to blackmail him before going to the Gardai. I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I whacked him with a shovel and he's down there now too.

    All unsolved murders of women in Ireland are linked to Larry Murphy, regardless of facts or evidence.

    That's one of the tricks of the police trade everywhere. Got a shady guy who is responsible for two or three attacks? Try to pin every cold case on him to clear the warehouse. Henry Lee Lucas is the most famous example.

    Bono having dinner and the person asks his dining companion to take a photo of them and Bono together.

    The person who they asked to take a pic just happened to be Bruce Springsteen.

    All us langers are related to all the beours sometimes twice removed so that makes it ok. It might explain a certain Ms Thompsons actions though as the problem with inbreeding is it creates a lot of jealousy.

    More a friend of a friend.

    Have a friend fron London who told me that onw of his mates growing up was from an Irish family and used to spend his summers in Ireland.

    Apparently, he told my friend that he got his hole one summer. The girl he was with looked at him funny when he dropped the hand. Her words were: "No funny stuff, just lob it into me". At the time, we were with another Irish friend of mine and we both burst out laughing. Our London seemed to have been convinced that story was true all along.

    Amazing that story actually made it out of the country.

    Insert Windsor castle and Heathrow for the English version

    Friend from secondary school said that in primary school, one girl vehemently believed in fairies even at the age of 11. Fair enough, but what made it weird that the the parents actively encouraged it. The girl would write letters to the fairies and the parents would write responses. She apparently even brought the letters in as proof.

    This friend who knew the girl was a known waffler, though. I think I would've believed it if anyone else had told me.

    Delivery driver collecting cash (?) scores and she brings him back to the house. They do the deed, next morning he wakes, jacket gone with the collected cash.

    He wrecks the house, (how much damage varies from story to story, shítting and rubbing it on the curtains has been mentioned) and on the way down the stairs, meets herself with the jacket on and breakfast bought.

    He grabs the jacket and cash still in pocket, runs.

    The girl with the snake that takes to lying beside her on the bed.

    Turns out the snake is measuring her to ensure she can be swallowed whole.

    Similar... The person with a pet snake in their bedroom who has stopped eating any food...
    ... Because it is preparing to eat the owner.

    Survival of the fittest, snake prey just lets a 30 foot python lie beside them in the wild.

    Was told by a barman that a yank came into his pub looking for Ballygowan on draught because he'd given it down west cork. So he promptly copped on and served them the tap water and the yanks loved it

    YES. I’ve had various people insist to me that that happened. But none of them ever knew the name of the person it happened to.

    That's a great one. I must know about 20 people who were at the Twin Towers in early September 2001.

    I know many more than 20, most of them where claiming the dole at the time though so they kept their mouths shut..
