    Just had a blazing row with a compulsive liar who continued to lie through his ass even though i had evidence in front of me proving he was lying:mad:

    why do people do this?

    Besides blasting him with piss how would AHers handle this- i need a laugh right now :)

    I think you are spoofing about the argument :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I prefer when they lie through their teeth. Not so smelly that way.

    Because you can't handle the truth!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    I'd be reading the charter for one ;)

    And jokes aside: how bad is he? Does he lie about little things or just comes out with completely false stories that are noway believable?

    In either case: slap him everytime he lies and tell him it's just the wind, soon he will learn not to lie and then you won't need to lie to him.

    how would AHers handle this
    Set their pants on fire?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Evidence is irrelevant to a professional liar, it's just something else to wriggle out of.

    Just ignore him/her unless you're feeling mischievous, then present your evidence and call the person a liar in a strong tone, then watch them try squirm/lie their way out of that situation. good fun!

    Wait, what if...

    The OP is the compulsive liar and is lying to us about his place in the argument?

    He's trying to find a way out of this conundrum

    OP is a frikkin' liar, man.

    Both! he would say he was stopped in the street by a model scout and told he looks like david beckham (no he doesnt- he looks like a foot tbh) and the amount of bollocks that comes out of his mouth...:mad:

    Reason im so mad was i organised an interview for him through a friend of mine and he claimed he went and that they were ignorant to him so he walked out.

    He Failed to mention he started throwing things around abusing them and the police were called, i only found out when i got a call from my friend

    mortified i am!

    There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭Sariah


    What kind of an interview did he go for? No wonder he didnt tell you the truth. He sounds unhinged. Did he get the job?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,459 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Magnolia


    Everything I write is a lie.

    It was in a hotel to work in the bar, they didnt really want anyone with no experience but my friend who is a manager there owed me a favour and said if he did well in the interview he could be trained up.

    All they asked was had he a criminal record and he went spastic at them :mad:

    But he came to me claiming they asked him was he gay and that they wouldnt employ gay people in the hotel- so he walked out:eek: And for the hour between then and the phone call THICKO here believed him:mad:

    Compulsive liars generally do not see themselves as liars and even when confronted with the truth, will turn it back on you and blame something you did that made them lie.

    I suggest going to an open space and screaming as loud as you can or watch some porn where a man is taking a good whacking.

    drop him,

    I have dealt with a compulsive liar before - no matter what evidence you have they will wriggle out of it - they have a knack for it (maybe because of all the practice). In fact, I actually found out all the lies that this person told, some about me, some about others in order for him to be able to do what he wanted, no questions asked.

    When I confronted him about it, I was told I was wrong to confront him, while the others just looked on. The liar then acted like a victim when I stood my ground and demanded an apology, hence making me out to be the wrongdoer while he liar made sure he came out squeaky clean by playing victim.

    Moral of the story - dump him - not worth your stress, and once a liar, always a liar. I'd rather be upfront and honest than sly and dishonest to get by in life

    You just made this up, didn't you?

    Mostly everything I post about myself on boards is a lie.

    One minute I have a job, one minute I'm on the dole. I'm married, I'm single, I'm fat, I'm skinny.

    Who knows if I even exist at all?

    You believed that, Christ how gullible are you!
    I mean I've conducted a good few interviews in my time and one of the first questions we ask potential candidates is:

    "Excuse me <insert name>, can you tell me if you are gay?"

    "Certainly, I am a proud homosexual"

    "Ok this interview is over, thank you for coming in today. Don't call us, we'll call you. Now if you wouldn't mind leaving first as I don't want you checking out my peachy toosh as you are walking. I won't shake your hand as no doubt it'll be one of those flimsy limp wristed ones that ye 'gays' do. Now enjoy the rest of your day listening to Right Said Fred and drinking fruit based alcoholic beverages while checking out 'Gloryhole Irealnd' online!"

    :rolleyes:

    Seriously, like any would be employer will ask about sexual orientation!!

    I think I did claim I was god too at some point. Thanks for remembering!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,037 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    I think blatant liars are great. You can't but laugh at them. Reminds me of yer man Comical Ali at the start of the Iraq War from the top of the Information Ministry Building when he was telling all the news stations there were no US Troops in Iraq. "They're not even within 100 miles of Baghdad. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq ...". Cue Sky News camera man zooming over his shoulder to US Tanks coming up the same street that the building was on.

    Don't name them but I'd consider reporting them! That is surely against the law! And did it have any relevance to the job?
