    I'd say everyone knows one of these lads, someone that any story that comes out of their mouth is utter bullshït.

    A lad I know is always going on about DJing in clubs all over ireland and was one Friday morning banging on about DJing a club in Dublin. I decided to call his bluff along with 2 other lads and headed to said club.

    To our major surprise he wasn't there nor was he advertised to play there. when I confronted him about on the Monday about him not being there he said "I got called on Friday evening to cover a set in a club in London."

    I'm sure he was, anyone else have any blatant bullshït stories people have told them?

    Guy I worked with years ago was always at it every Monday about his weekend.

    If bullshit was music he would have been The Beatles :rolleyes:

    One guy from college was the worst, the most unbelievable lies every, done this, done that, done her, her, her and her mother.

    Sometimes, with people like those, you just have to play along and feel sorry for them. You can call them out on it, but it probably wont stop them and if they're lying that much, they probably have more problems than you.

    Best show ever. After arrested development...


    Jay: So I had one bent over the table here, there was one up here who I was fingering and I was just toe ****ing the one on the floor.
    Will: So when do we get to meet these lucky ladies?
    Jay: You can't, they've gone back to the playboy mansion

    No word of a lie, a friend of mine somehow managed to ride 2 girls at oxygen one year, fair enough its not completely impossible, but no he didnt have to stop there, they both had to be female chiropractors (somehow nurses didnt sound hot enough), oh and of course he rode them at the same time. This of course happened while we were away and no witnesses were present. the sad thing is he still bull****s day in day out and hes 28 now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭ArtyM


    Yeah, I know a few of them. Sad f**kers.
    This one guy - I met him at a party in Simon Cowels's house last year, was the worst.
    There I was, chattin to Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss and was just about to let them fight for the right to mount the count (if ya know what I mean, lol, rofl, omg, hashtag-amazingdude, hashtag-f**kinawesomemagaguy,#wowguy,#hi5buddudeguymanyoyoMagnetsBitch)

    I know two blokes who go on like this, one from work and one from college...
    All the usual crap about scoring girls and the like...

    I'm trying to think of specific stories they go on about but I can't remember any because I just tune out when they are waffling away :P

    customer in a pub i used to work in was nicknamed 66/1 because he was always winning on big outsiders - or so he said. he was sitting at the bar on new years eve 2009 and me, the wife and her parents were sitting down just away from the bar with him in earshot.
    he started going on about playing guitar with some of the biggest pub bands in dublin and was always in demand to play guitar. my father in law says to him 'ah lovely, ive my guitar in the car sure give us a tune'. he goes out to get the guitar and brings it in and 66/1's face drops.
    he starts playing completely out of key and moaned at my FIL about the guitar being out of tune.
    only thing is, frank had paid hundreds that morning to have the guitar professionally tuned

    i'd say there's a lot of that considering how one solitary numpty can acquire such a slot.

    At least when it was bands their actual DIY musicality and word as a whole was more feasible these are vein, disengenuous times

    It's funny how these types of people are always standing around gobbing off in pubs, when in reality they'd never get the time to go to the pub if they were to accomplish even 30% of their deeds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 955 ✭✭✭Scruffles


    agreeing with senna in that there will be some of them who do have,um problems.

    some people have an urge to do lie,they can throw out lies like a sprinkler throws out water; its called pathalogical lying,they may even believe what theyre saying if their reality is crossing over into fantasy.

    have known someone online for years like that,he was a true bully and pyschopath as am still damaged by him and really need to get accessible help,but besides that in terms of lieing he woud make many new accounts every day and every new account woud have a different life and a different severe or terminal disability to gain pity,he used very vulnerable people for disability support he didnt need and pity;there were many genuinely disabled members he used it felt even worse when he was taking advantage of terminaly ill or severely mentaly ill people who were near crisis.

    some people feel they have to lie because they think people will feel bad of them and their life.
    doesnt matter what life have got,if its what like doing then its got f all to do with anyone else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,245 ✭✭✭Gee_G


    I think everyone knows somebody like this. They obviously lacking something in their lives to feel like they have to lie. I feel sorry for them. But I do have a friend that does it all the time, about stupid stuff and NEVER remembers the little fibs she has told. I thoroughly enjoy trying to trip her up about them :)

    Or maybe this guy is actually a complete legend and doesn't care what you think?

    Sounds legit, until we get to...
    only thing is, frank had paid hundreds that morning to have the guitar professionally tuned

    hundreds you say, "professionally tuned" you say. Just wondering where this professional work costing hundreds is to be had. I wonder how a professionally tuned guitar sounds more "in tune" than a amateur "in tune" guitar.

    Concert Piano perhaps, guitar = stories from a bull****ter.

    Thought the same, perhaps admiral isn't too up on guitars and his/her father in law had actually just had the thing professionally set up as some people do.

    Also - bull****ting can be an absolute art form from some people. Obviously it's a cringe to hear some people trying to big themselves up but when you hear a proper surreal yarn that's so funny you're willing to suspend your belief it's magic. The kind of stories told by people in pubs who've mastered their craft after years of dedication to the point a mere mortal can't even make the same bull**** story sound halfway decent.

    Used to know a lad before who, among other things:

    -Owned 4 petrol stations in Dublin
    -Was a world champion quad racer
    -Bred award winning huskies
    -Won awards for his photograhy
    -Used to photograph 'Page 3' girls
    -Dated all the well known Irish models
    -Imported high spec japanese super cars

    He was, and no doubt remains, an absolute legend when it came to being a total spoofer. Anything you could do, he could do better.

    Very sad individual when I think back on him, but what a laugh.

    Send him my way, he's an idiot with a lot of cash. I'll find a use for him.

    He probably meant he got it "tuned-up", in the same way one gets their car engine "tuned-up" from a mechanic. Likely had nothing to do with the tuning of the notes themselves.

    Anyway...I liked the story Admiral!:)

    If you're on twitter, give @Jamesjohn1983 a follow. His account is called TroyStories and is full of bullshizzle stories about a fella called Troy.

    Some are hilarious,even if made up. Although I find it gets annoying when other people make up their own Troy Story and send them in to him.

    I remember a lot of these stories when I started secondary school. One that stands out:

    "My uncle is president of Bolivia"
