31 Lies People Are Proud They Told

Though social norms — and let’s face it, the conventions of basic respect — may encourage us not to ask about people’s acne, weight, wrinkles or any other potential point of insecurity, one particularly cunning Redditor decided to have a little fun when a few strangers began poking at what they believed to be their pal’s lazy eye. 

“Convinced a group of girls that my friend had a lazy eye because he used to work as an amateur porn cameraman and took a stray cumshot to the face,” they recalled of their strategic fib. Despite eating up his tale of adult film woe, it couldn’t have been further from the truth. “The best bit is that he doesn’t even have a lazy eye,” they added. 

This is far from the only time folks were led astray by a very impressive fib, though. Here are some of the other lies people are proud they told, the wildest including those about Kidz Bop royalties, Rick Astley’s prowess as an inventor and the legality of providing balloons to minors.
