What bullshit have you convinced people was true?

[jamart]

I'm a magician.
was a professional in-house magician in a restaurant before uni...

Ohhhh the things I got people to swallow.
got them to believe some crazy stuff too... I thank you.

That magic is a real thing, that I was a master body language reader, than I knew NLP, that I was a member of the magic circle, that my deck of cards was once owned by Harry Houdini XD

 

[Insanity72]

me and my friends were convincing a little kid that my friend invented Oklahoma, i don't think we tricked him, but he did get pretty confused for a while

we then went on to tell him that we are Jedi time lords that hunt werewolves...yeah he didn't buy that

I have an uncanny knack of using "troll-logic" to convince people that stupid stuff is fact, and here's a list of some of it:

i was an elf.
magic was real, and science.
that i am a jedi, told him he'd roll a 5. he rolled a 5. I am now a jedi, according to him.
convinced someone i could turn invisible.
i have been accused of being a vampire. (i sleep at day, have light sensitive eyes, and avoid water, because i can't swim. *facepalm*, oh and convincing someone you can turn invisible doesn't help either...)

Are the people you are with as dense as graphite? Vampires in the way movies show cannot physically exist. Mind reading is not real but chance and estimation, while reading emotion and body language, is. Magic is not real but a form of illusion and trickery of the mind and elves are fantasy most famously portrayed by tolkien.

Wow, not really a very bright bunch - nothing like tricking them into thinking you escaped a kidnapper at a young age by jumping over a river, or you're a half brother to one of your friends - these are quite lame though.

it's a small town, and i'm not from here. they're superstitious people, and blindly believe anything. i feel like a wizard in the dark ages. i do know a few smart people, but most of them have no sense.

The first time I ever went grocery shopping with my ex-girlfriend I had her convinced that deli meat was raw because it was cold. My current girlfriend didn't fall for it, so I guess that's a win.

 

[Anthan]

That carpet makes a good mouse mat.

 

[Ethan Asia]

I convinced a friend of mine that 'real' fireworks were living creatures made of explosive material, and they are captured in time for firework-y events. The 'bang' they make is their death cry.

[Sagacious Zhu]

I've built an entire academic career convincing my teachers I knew what I was talking about. Even now, I just got back an A+ essay on Paradise Lost despite never having read the poem in its entirety.

Oh come on, we both know that's not bullshit.

 

[synthesis]

I convince ppl that i have a life.

 

[Gincairn]

I once convinced a woman I work with that I was born with 2 hearts and that in an act of pure kindness I donated one of them to medical study.

 

[])rStrangelove]

I just visited denseWorm's 'Skyrim sucks' thread and made him believe i would honestly discuss the matter with him, but the truth is i was just being polite, he really is wrong.

Sort of this.

I'm at the point where I've convinced them that I have any idea what I'm talking about and that I should be funded to do the PhD I'm currently undertaking.

Well, I suppose not to that extent, but I kind of had to embellish the truth a little, hehe.

Hey! I resent that, and say it's racial stereotyp- Oh what they heck... You're right... Chap.

 

[Strain42]

You'll never believe this.

I once convinced a room full of people that I was a witty, fun-loving intelligent person.

Man, that was great

Oh, also the first three months of college I used an Irish accent. No one questioned it, and it actually proved to be quite the conversation starter.

 

[Rastien]

Well i worked on a building site and got asked to go to the shop for the following.

A long weight.
Tartan paint.
Left handed saw.

There are probably more that i forgot about my god i was muppet 6 years ago x)

What i have convinced other people of... my dad was a fisherman my gf believed this for months then asked him about it with me sat there in tears of laughter, shes my ex now... hm lol

Convinced my sister that apple branded computers originally had apple pulp based capacitors in.

 

[WaysideMaze]

I used to work with someone who was so easy to trick.

I convinced him that the duck billed platypus is a government conspiracy and that the police only use typewriters, not computers, because they can't be hacked.
The other thing I got him with I'd probably get some kind of warning for saying.

 

[mikey7339]

I managed to convince the 1700+ people in my high school that I had a portal to hell in my closet and that I shot 18 holes with Satan once in a while. Kept people from bothering me.

Problem, Lebanon High?

Wait a minute, you don't mean Lebanon, Ohio do you? Because I will believe this if you do.

 

[Lawnmooer]

I managed to convince someone that custard was an illegal substance in Wales.

I convinced a friend that I was a vampire (Because my canines are more pointed than anyone elses around where I live, I also had pale skin from not going out much and my liking of licking the blood from cuts I get)

I convinced the same friend that he was a werewolf...

I made someone believe that the moon was the sun and it just looked different because it was darker at night.

I made my entire middle school think I ate live mice...
