Greatest lie you've ever fooled someone with

[Reaver3]

Back when I used to talk to my grandma, I remember she had an ant problem and I suggested bronic acid to get rid of them... My mom (her daughter) start to explain what it does to a bug and I added " and if you listen late at night you can hear them go pop"

The look on my mothers face was priceless when my grandma looked at me and asked "really? How loud is it?"

Yosato just reminded me, once when in trouble with a stand in teacher I convinced him my name was Jimi Hendrix. Even had it written on the other side of my jotter. Still got busted by the deputy Head though.

me and a mate once had a rather loud discussion in an airport in america that we use kangaroos as transport in australia. dunno if it tricked anyone.

i have also convinced someone over xbox live that uluru (the big rock in the middle of australia) glows in the dark

I told a mate that the girl he liked had just gotten pregnant from his brother. That she had an abortion after that but 1 week later got pregnant from me.
For some weird reason he believed me. When I finally told him it was a lie he was furious.

Told someone I was post op

 

[Gahars]

"It's pretty sad, Nintendo's going bankrupt, and they're selling all their brands. Sony's getting Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pokemon, while Microsoft is getting Metroid, Super Smash Bros., and Donkey Kong Country. All the others have been sold to EA."

Told this to my cousin as a lame icebreaker joke. He believed it for the next 6 months.

 

[Captain-Giggles]

Snip

For some reason that reminded me of a short skit a comedian did at a local club where when he was working as a bartender over in Boston he managed to convince the entire staff that due to the recession Ireland had gotten rid of Wednesdays.

isn't the greatest always "This baby is yours"? XD

 

[Cogwheel]

Quite a few people (with the rather telling common trait that they have never met me) believe that I'm a good/nice person.

The weird part is that this technically doesn't count since I never even told them this.

Other than that, when I was a good deal younger, I lied about brushing my teeth before bed a few times. Was 6 or so, I think. Proceeded to feel terrible about doing so, and currently haven't lied in about a decade.

I... I'm bad at this, okay?

 

[Critical_Sneeze]

When I first moved I (quite easily) convinced a girl that in Oz, we rode to school on kangaroos and that the pouch was useful for storing books in. She was fascinated.

 

[Demons_Bane]

My mate's ex Misti moved over here (England) from America a few years back, and initially wanted to throw a party for the 4th July. Me and Phil then told her that would be incredibly insensitive over in England, because (apparently) over here the 4th of July is called Traitor's Day. We had her going with that for three months!

Hilarious! XD

 

[JemothSkarii]

Told my incredibly annoying cousin my mobile phone number is 04 3825 633 24824.
They're 13, and our numbers are only 10 long I believe.
Oh, translate it for it to be funny.
She also believes I'm out of credit.

EDIT: Look at phone for help.

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

On April Fools day I managed to convince my friend (who needed a job over the summer) that I found him one.
"Hey, you still need a job? 'Cause my Dad has an opening for someone to do paperwork. Like from 7 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, four days a week. Minimum wage, of course but it'll be pretty easy"
"OMG really?"
"Yep, for sure."
"Thank you so much!"
"April fools"
At this point he punched a locker, and then almost went for my face. It was pretty awesome.
I once saw someone convince another guy to snort a line of chalk. THAT was interesting.

 

[Neko Pounce]

Erm... I lied to my family about a 1/4 ounce of pot i had lost, when they came over, i told them i was looking for a little bit of chocolate i had lost, and i didont want to it melt on the floor. They spend about 30 minets looking for this " Chocolate" Luckyly, I found it first.

 

[SuccessAndBiscuts]

I'm somewhat convincing because I come out with so much crazy information normally anyway that people who know me just tend to believe me.

Greatest lie ever though?

Was visiting the newly built visitor center at Culloden with my family.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Culloden

In the center (as I remember) you walk through a massive winding gallery with the timeline of events leading up to the battle illustrated on the walls along with dates etc until finally you are deposited in a large room containing period weaponry and costume from both sides that opens out on to the battlefield proper so you can see the memorial and graves etc.

In this room on the floor was a large display which gave you a satellite view of the battlefield with red and blue colored blocks representing regiments etc on both sides.

One of the blocks, near Prince Charlie's position was an-noted as being Clan Chattan my clan was part of the Chattan confederation so I indicated the block to my brother and said "Look, Chattan, That's us." At that a large woman who I suspect (given her accent) was American turned to me with a startled expression and asked "Were you there?!"

Needless to say I thought she was kidding, having had to walk through a whole historical lead up complete with dates to get to this room, so I ran with it.

"Yea I was there... was really lucky to make it out alive to be honest. See that sword in the display over there? Yea that was mine, I donated it after we got guns."

A few photos with her at the memorial and in front of the Marker where the chief of my clan supposedly fell in battle taken and signed later I realized I may have done a bad thing.

Miss if you are out there I'm really sorry, that Jacobite solider you met was actually just a computing student.

 

[Sir-jackington]

its not that great a lie but once when i was in school i turned round to a friend and said "i can't say tie" despite that fact i had just said it he believed it and didn't realise until about 3 years later

 

[Queen Michael]

I managed o make a girl think I was gay. And the reason it was a great lie is that I didn't tell her I was gay; I told her that I was 100% straight. But I did so in a way that had her convinced I was as gay as it gets. The fact that I was in drag at the time, and that my exact phrasing was "Look, I'm not gay, okay? If I were gay my mom would have a heart attack, and that means I'm not gay." probably helped.

 

[Thyunda]

I convinced a girlfriend that myself and my friend were part of the Russian assault on Berlin in 1945. We're both 18...17 at the time of the lie.
We were talking about Call of Duty: World at War, but she somehow missed this memo, and upon hearing how I saved him from a group of German machinegunners, she says "but you must have been really little back then!"

So we just ran with it.
