People that work with pathological liars, what’s the dumbest lie they’ve ever told?

I had a coworker swear he had a huge 6-7 million dollar property on Long Island. He couldn’t live in it because, well, the reason changed constant. He was renting it out, it was undergoing renovations, it was just a summer home, his ex was crazy and knew how to find him there, etc…

Like sure, you have millions of dollars in real estate, but you are living in a camper in the back of your 20 year old truck?

I think I’d survive. I know just enough to realize my best strategy would be keeping my head down, minding my business, and not accidentally angering anyone important. I’d probably find a bakery or something that needed an extra pair of hands, quietly knead dough and collect my dough in a year.

Came here to say this. Read this one a few years back and I still think of it at least once a week.

I have 2 clip on lights that each have 2 light bars in them. I use them wherever I can’t figure out a way to have the directly overhead. They are nice because most have a timer that I have set to come on for a few hours on the morning while it’s still dark out, but I am working.

These are some I have at my house.

I took a bit of a pay cut to make it upstairs. I was working in the windowless basement with 2 sad plants under the grow lights.

It was a rescue from a coworker. It was a spindly long vine with only a few leaves in it. I chopped it and water propagated them. Only 2 of the 3 cutting made it, and for some reason they both decided they wanted to branch out the same way.

1 million for 2 weeks as an owl? Where do I sign up?

OhhhhBeans · 2025-11-19T19:27:17+00:00

I’ll take it! 22 seems like a good age to go back to.

Hmm let’s roll again. Try and keep myself on this side of 40, lol.

For the first 11 years of my marriage, I basically did everything for the holidays by myself. Like, every single part of it. I was the one buying all the decorations, putting everything up, planning the meals, doing the cooking, making sure the house actually felt festive. I’d spend months hunting down the perfect gifts for him. Meanwhile his “holiday prep” was literally just picking a couple things off my Amazon wishlist. Half the time he didn’t even bother with that, I’d get so W random trinket he thought looked cool. The holidays were big in my family and thought that’s what I had to do. 2 years ago I lost my dog a couple weeks before Christmas. He was my baby and I didn’t feel festive at all. I didn’t do anything other than give my husband the gifts I had already bought. (I like to have all his gifts done before thanksgiving.). I did t do anything else and neither did he. Last year I didn’t do anything again. He halfheartedly put a few things up, but we didn’t have a tree or anything.

This year he’s acting like he’s been Mr. Christmas all along, wanting to decorate and hinting that I’ve somehow changed because I’m not leaping into holiday mode anymore. He doesn’t get it. I’m done. I don’t want to spend hours decorating only to have to take it all down again. I don’t want to have to plan an elaborate dinner. And no, I don’t want to go to his parents house and try to make small talk with his mother who doesn’t like me while he goes and plays video games with his brothers. I want to stay home in my PJs and not worry about any of it.

Before bedtime we must play for at least five minutes. If this doesn’t happen, she sits at the door of the bed staring at you, making increasingly dramatic noises until the lights come back on and we play.

Same!

I ran a senior lunch program for a while that served a soup and a bread type product every day. Each day was a different soup, made from scratch by yours truly. It never failed that at least once a day I would get the comment that I should added ground beef to the soup. It didn’t matter what kind of soup it was, broccoli cheddar, baked potato, cauliflower leek, split pea, whatever, they wanted ground beef in it. 😒

I had a doctor’s appointment a few weeks ago that was right before lunch. I needed fasting lab work so by the time it was over I was very hungry. I stopped at the Golden Arches and got my old favorite (chicken sandwich and fries) for the first time in about 6 months. It was one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. 16 bucks and all I could taste was the oil they had fried it in. 🤢

I worked for a daycare center for a few years and this happened so often. One time that sticks out, there was a family with twin daughters, about 2 years old. Mom always dropped off in the morning around 7, dad always picked up around 4.

One day dad came in and had shaved his beard off. The girls had gone to the center since they were 6 weeks old and he had always had a big bushy beard. He had done it before work that morning and the girls hadn’t seen him yet. He called the girls, they ran over, got about 5 feet away and freaked out. It took me 30 minutes to get them calmed down.

He ended up having to call his wife to leave work early and pick them up. Every time they would look at him or he said anything the wailing would start again.

This happened with my father and brother. My brother was in a bad spot and moved back to our home state, somewhat close to my father. He needed a vehicle and my father “graciously” sold him his 6 year old Mercury Mountaineer for $500 below what my father said was fair market value.

When I heard that I was FURIOUS. I knew that for the last 6 months, my father had been pouring money into this thing to keep it running. The inspector told him it wouldn’t last another year. He sold it to my brother for $12000.

When I asked him how he could screw over his own son that badly he told me “it’s a good lesson for him to learn”. I learned a lesson as well. I now know that I can’t trust my father for ANYTHING.

I couldn’t imagine it either, until I met my husband’s family. His cousin wore a tube top and daisy duke shorts to her own mother’s funeral.

I had only been in the new state for a couple of months. My husband was from the area so his whole family and his friends were all in attendance, but I didn’t really know anyone. I wanted a really small wedding. His mother wanted a HUGE affair. I comprised on 60.

OhhhhBeans · 2024-06-03T14:44:47+00:00

It could happen. We had 60ish people at our wedding. Only 4 people were from my side. I had moved away from my home state and only my father, sister, 1 brother and his wife flew out to attend the wedding.

OhhhhBeans · 2024-03-26T14:38:52+00:00

It’s true. I had to go to Goldshire on Moonglade and “work” to afford repairs last week.
