nobody lies like that cause they're evil, it's cause they're fucked in the head. such people need help. but i think it's wrong to roll your eyes at it really. it's a steadily increasing problem in the modern western society today to lie in order to get attention/not look bad.
I don't know how much of that I agree with...BUT I used to work with this woman. She was 50-something. She lied about ridiculous things.
-She said she was a body builder and her arms were so big she couldn't brush her hair.
-She said her husband kidnapped their child and drug her by her hair up steps in a hotel...basically beat her to death...but they were still "happily married"
-She would make up the most extreme excuses to leave work...One time she said she was having chest pains and came back the next day and said she "Had a fatal heart attack"

A FATAL ONE!
-She also had a miscarriage...although she had already been through menopause.
-She said she had once lived in a 10 bedroom house...but currently her light bill was getting ready to be cut off.
-She drove this junky OLD car that I don't even remember what it was...to work...Because she didn't want to ruin her brand new :insert really expensive car here:
She was a mystery...Really how could you tell such a big lie and actually think you will get away with it.
