Greatest lie you've ever fooled someone with

[Captain-Giggles]

Sure we all tell the odd white lie now and then, but have you ever told someone something so outlandish but they still believed it? Are you just a convincing person? Let's hear about your acts of deception!
For me I've managed to convince one friend that I got my hair cut because the left side got caught in a hedgetrimmer so I just evened it out.
The best that comes to mind recently is I managed to convince 2 people that my dad actually wrote the TV series Mad Men, but since there was no money to produce it in Ireland he sold the idea to America.

Aside from common ones like, "Yes, mum; I'm totally still a virgin!" Or, "Yes, granny, I'm 100% straight!" I really don't lie that much. I was a lot naughtier when I was a little kid, though. I once managed to convince a rather batty teacher that I'd flown to Norway with my family to swim with sharks.

"Yes, granny, I'm 100% straight!"

Ninja'd.

Well, I've never actually had to declare my fake heterosexuality to either of my grandmothers, I've certainly lied about it to others. And many believed it.

Right on april fools day...

"Hey my parents won the lottery!"

"Really, how much?"

He spent the entire day before talking about how he wouldn't be fooled the next...

I didn't do it, but my very very white friend convinced his entire class that he was half black.(this kid is very white)

well i was never that good at faking heterosexuality, but i did once convince my cousin that i was an alien, it was fun for awhile, until he freaking stabbed me!, to be fair i told him my blood was green and it was with a rather dull knife and there are about 40 doctors in my family so it was taken care of quickly, but still my lie was so good i made a nice little kid stab someone.

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!

for 4 months in year 6 i, with the help of about half the school including a few teachers, convinced a learning teacher that i was scottish. I have red hair and can do the accent rather well, and obviously for long periods of time, bloody well worth it on his final day, i went back to normal and scared the crap out of him.

i had a fun childhood.

Once me and the Mrs were talking about weird names. I said I knew someone whose REAL name was "Captain Max Spastic". "He was in the army sweetheart". "REALLY? Wow, that is weird". I haven't let her forget it since.

I told these little brats that I was a awesome computer techie, who could do anythings with the PC. Even infect their computers with Virus'.

When they asked me to do something on the computer, I simply de-fragged it, and said I was infecting the computer with a Virus which would stop it from working(It was a school computer). I then turned the power off at the wall secretly.

When the kids tried to turn it back on, nothing happened, and they believed I was a expert techie. They still believe it to this day. Hehehe

Now I can't remember at the moment anytime I convinced someone of something that wasn't true, but I do remember when I was convinced into believing something.

When I was young during summers I would always take an afternoon nap. One time I woke up because my brother shook me. (I was maybe six, about 20 years ago) He spun a tale that convinced me that I had slept for 20 years though I hadn't aged, I can't remember how he explained that. He then told me that televisions were not called televisions, but tele-lasers(he used a black marker to right a TL on the bottom of the TV), and they had better picture quality, though even though I couldn't tell it, it was better.

Interesting thinking back on it now, my brother thought up HD televisions.

Well Im sure those good people at the game companies are convinced that I DID read their little legal statement, and yes I accept the conditions. :3

 

[Ex Zimbo]

A couple of years back I convinced a co-worker that things are very different in Australia compared to Zimbabwe (my home for 12yrs). For example, I had a pet elephant. I even went as far as convince this person that we didn't have cars and that to get anywhere fast we travelled on the backs of ostriches.

at my cousins highschool they have a bbq on i dont know aboriginal day or something. not sure of the exact name but its a day dedicated to aboriginals. anyway he is white his parents are white. probably not a drop of aboriginal blood in him but he goes to the bbq and gets free lunch. does that count as a lie?

the thing is he is a little tanned and that makes him darker than most of the aboriginals

 

[Head Chef Dom]

I can weave a pretty good yarn about getting shot by drug-warring gangs when I was 5 years old

 

[Engarde]

"I love you."

BA-ZING!

Kidding, I have never weaved a grand decepetion....as of yet!

 

[Yosato]

Convinced a stand-in teacher that I was a mute. It seems harsh but the entire class was in on it and there's nothing better than attempting gibberish sign language and expecting a teacher to understand whilst everyone else is giggling

 

[AngloDoom]

Convinced someone I knew that, when we were going to meet a friend of mine, "Just...don't be loud, okay? He's nice, but he's...well, easily startled. You don't want to startle him." Then made several elaborate stories about how he'd beaten people nearly to death for looking at him the wrong way, being a bouncer until he was sacked for being "too intimidating" and several such stories. A friend walking with us gave me a hand and backed me up on every story, and related several local incidents to the guy we were going to meet: "You know that head they found in a bag by Tesco? Yeah, I swear he has something to do with that. He's real quiet about it though..."

When said friend met said rough-tough-guy it was a stereotypical gay friend of ours with skinny-emo getup and a voice that made mums croon.

once when I was 14 I convince my dad that I smelled like pot cause me and some friends got in a axe body spray war and all the smells mixed together and made a pot smell. Then the very next day I got arrested for selling pot so my dad fingered it out.
