Greatest lie you've ever fooled someone with

[ReservoirAngel]

"Oh, I just haven't found the right girl yet" was one I told many people for a long time.

Now for shits and giggles I tell guys "I can't help it if I'm attracted to you". Often I'm not interested in them in the slightest, but it's just funny to make them think I am.

I actually had to give up lying (except for white lies IE; no honey your butt looks fine). I used to lie quite frequently about stuff that didn't matter, mostly embellishing stories and trying to seem cool. The problem I ran into is I started to believe my lies. One day I got busted on a lie that I believed so thoroughly that I actually had memories of the events, my buddy proved me wrong so I decided to give up lies.

I always convince my Mum (well used to anyway =P) that the person on the phone is my grandmother/her mother so she said 'Mum' and when it wasn't her I always cracked up.

There's probably a better one stuck in the back of my head >.>

Not me personally but my father told my mum that the actor Humphrey Bogart was over 7ft tall and had to stand in a trench in his movies so he would appear a normal height.

Well, one time in my chemistry class in high school I didn't feel like doing the lab with the spectrometers (they break up light into the different wavelengths or something? I don't quite remember. Point is you see colors when you look at a white light with one). So I told her I was colorblind. She believed me for about a week and a half until she asked me why I was looking through a spectrometer if I couldn't see certain colors. I told her "Well I couldn't help but think that maybe if I looked hard enough I could see a few new colors or something" "Really?" "Nah, turns out I can see colors after all."

Had 27 people convinced for 4 years that I had eaten a 213 page book for £8.

They only stopped believing it when I told them I'd been screwing with them.

Me and my Brother in law once managed to convince the missus and her mother that Scallops were a breed of tiny whale about the size of a mouse....

we had them believing it for about 3 weeks...

 

[El Poncho]

I said to my art teacher I was colour blind( I had this teacher for over a year by this point) and she started picking out colours and asking if I could see them properly, I eventually told her I'm not colour blind and I was being sarcastic.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die with my pregnant Canadian girlfriend, and we proceeded to drink ourselves into a stupor and woke up in San Fransisco behind a tattoo parlor.

I told ten people that individually just to see who'd believe me, and two actually did. Granted, both of whom are pretty dim.

 

[FalloutJack]

"Nah, I was only kidding."

Now, try and figure out just how big a thing I was passing off as a mere joke...

I have Asperger's Syndrome. I've taken medication for it since I was 6.

About a year ago, I went 8 months without taking almost a single pill. Nobody noticed a thing.

Bullshit. I have Asperger's, and I know for a fact that there is no medication directly laundered toward preventing it's symptoms. And anyway, even if there was, why would you want to change a part of who you are?

What the hell? You're ignorant. Ri-ta-lin. Several members of my family take it, and it works. For the record, there's a high chance you actually don't have Aspergers, given that it's one of the most disgustingly over-diagnosed mental illnesses.

Ritalin was developed for ADHD primarily, so there is a high chance that you have been given the wrong medication. And, for the record, I have been diagnosed by 4 different doctors, one of which is a specialist in the field. I have classic traits which manifest in such a way that they becom more prominent when I am stressed. I also have ADD and Dysbraxia, so don't question me, when you know nothing about me. I doubt that YOU have Aspergers, because the way that it manifests mean that there is no medication specifically laundered toward supressing it's symptoms, and, as I said before, why would you want to supress part of who you are? That's if you even have it.

This conversation-turned-argument is now over, it is late and I no longer have the headspace to deal with this.

 

[Balmong7]

I am adopted, told some kids my real dad was bill gates. He believed me, for three years.

 

[SimuLord]

All these lies and all this deception...

If you could go off Ritalin for 8 months, without knowing the rest of the facts, you were probably misdiagnosed by some stupid GP.

I doubt I was misdiagnosed. While I'm a pretty normal guy now, when I was kid, I was...awkward, to say the least.

Besides, its not like they went straight to Aspergers. They put me down as ADHD before settling on that, for whatever reason.

I suppose you've never heard of imipramine (which is technically an antidepressant, but either way, it calmed me down) or conserta for that matter, which I don't take anymore due to anger issues.

As for why, the idea of growing up dependent on medication, especially one that people assume you become a psycho without, didn't appeal to me for some reason. And I wanted to see what I was like without it, after 8 years of dependence.

If you wouldnt mind reading the comment above, they pretty much explain all of my viewpoints, so yeah. Sorry about the 'bullshit' thing, I wasn't in the best of moods when posting.

I know. I saw. I just wanted to talk to you..personally, if you can call it that.

And I probably shouldn't have been shooting off my mouth about being able to go off my meds. There probably were some differences...but you never know when its you.
