30 of the Most Obvious Lies People Have Been Told
Every now and then, the well of creativity runs dry, and someone chooses to tell a less-than-believable lie instead of the truth. Seasoned liars have been there, but if you’re just starting to dip your toes into the world of dishonesty, Redditors have a few fibs for you to avoid. First and foremost, it’s important to master the plausibility of a lie before ironing out any finer details.
Back in the ‘90s, one Redditor had a coworker who loved to lie. Unfortunately, he didn’t use that passion to hone his craft. One day, this coworker said that he bought a surface-to-air missile from China and was keeping it stored at his mom’s house across town. Logic about missiles aside, they were both making $5 an hour at the time, making no part of the story believable. Learn from that man’s mistakes.
Plenty of other people could’ve tried a little harder with their fibs. Other liars to learn from include a light-bender, a friend of Nelson Mandela and a state-registered human weapon.
