There was a family in our neighborhood that that always told these exaggerated lies about the success of their Hardware store. The father seemed to lie about anything he did. He was always the best and most successful at everything he tried or touched.
They sometimes came over for dinner and after they left we would dissect the stories and speculate which were lies. Kind of sad really that these people thought they were fooling the world. They were so transparent.
Any of your friends or co-workers like this? Women claiming their husbands make tons of money, or I got this $3,000 Flat screen tv at a great deal for $900, "Let me hook you up too" or I don't like to brag, which is why I haven't mentioned my Nobel Prizes or talked about my experiences as a Navy Seal.
Is it a friendship breaker for you? Or do you let the bull slide off your back?
Why do people feel a need to lie or boast like this?
