What was most Believable Lie you were ever told or told someone else. - Want some high quality shit.

The Holo– oh, you mean believable lies.

Way back in the day, my mother would close the living room off on Christmas so that Santa could deliver his presents without being disturbed. Occasionally she'd go back in to check, and each time she'd tell me, "Sorry, dear, Santa's wasn't here yet."
What she was really doing was taking the presents out of hiding, putting them under the tree, and playing a cassette tape (yes, I'm that old) of about half an hour of silence followed by chimes and Christmas music. That way, she was always with me when the "miracle" happened.
I was the last one in my class to still believe in Santa Clause lol

The lengths people go to perpetuating that lie is fucking crazy. I remember in school making reindeer feed, and special decorative skeleton keys so santa could visit all us poor fags without chimneys. For some reason no one has created any in universe lore to explain why santa has a higher budget for the wealthy families.

I love gaslighting people about trivial stuff you could easily look up, because most people never look it up and will just spread dumb shit just because they were told it was true, and I find that hilarious. For example I told the Music board that the song "Overkill" by Men at Work was about the time Colin Hay saw a ghost in his hotel room, I think I got a few people with that one.

Former brand executive for the large corporation I work for, now running a startup, told us he had about 2 dozen warm leads he was working to bring in some sales, but needed us to loan him some capital equipment to close the deals. My boss knew him and vouched for him having brought in some big deals back when he still worked for us, so it was worth bending the rules a bit to get him some equipment. I got him the equipment, set it up, tested it, cleared it. Whole thing took me six months and calling in some favors. Once I told him we were cleared and good to go, he said, "uh uh uh I actually need way more equipment because of how many customers I have, because we're quickly going to scale to 20x that per month." To put it in perspective, he was asking for roughly $5 million worth of equipment up front, saying he'd eventually need $20m...per MONTH. I told him, that's well and good, but we're not giving him more until we've worked the first customer through the pipeline and resolved any issues we might have. He started spinning, delaying, and tried to change the subject, so I demanded to see the customer list, something we should have asked for up front. Turns out he was just outright fucking lying about everything, he had been cultivating zero leads whatsoever. Like he did not even have ONE engagement. He had ZERO. Along the way, he'd also lied about his company having two investors (it had zero). He just figured once he had our equipment and word got out, customers would come running with cash in hand. When that didn't happen, he panicked and shit his pants, probably literally.

Anyway, we're taking the equipment back and are telling him to eat a dick and never, ever call any of us ever again for anything. We loaned him like $250K worth of shit plus easily $100K worth of billable hours if we felt like billing this asshole.

What makes this lie ultra-retarded is that his basic idea for what to do with the equipment and how to build a business around it was good, good enough that we would have actually hooked him up with our in-house sales team to have him help them grow their accounts. But when we suggested that early on, he said he didn't want to do that, because he'd have to share all this revenue he imagined he was going to make, plus he had a couple dozen warm leads of his own...which he said he refused to share because he didn't want our guys sniping him.

He didn't get anything out of this. He got no cash. He got no customers. He lost access to us. His reputation is destroyed. He has no income. I can only assume that he's sucking dicks for cash under an overpass now.

When I was five years old, I accidentally killed my sister’s fish by flushing it down the toilet. She told me that because I flushed it, it would turn into a mutant creature that would come back to eat me. I was so scared that I avoided the bathroom for days.
My dad got mad at my sister for saying that, so she later came to me and said that she went to find it and killed it for me.

I once put apples in both tailpipes of a neighbors VW Bus (my father had told me about all the times he did it as a kid). It ended up fucking up the engine. I confessed to putting one in there but said my punk buddy had done the other one. I wanted him to have some street cred too. I'm a charitable liar.
