so ive never really encountered a true compulsive/pathological liar (is there a difference?) until just recently. i made friends with this guy from canada on the internet who said he was going to be moving here for work when in fact he had no intentions of ever coming here. for weeks all i heard from him was about him packing or him trying to sell his place or trying to find a place here in vegas to stay etc. he told me so many lies about his job/his schooling/his hobbies etc etc etc. the list goes on and on. its fucking ridiculous. the thing is i dont even know why! he must have something seriously wrong to lie about the most insignificant things for absolutely no reason. id have totally blown off the whole situation and said "fuck it" if i hadnt made myself look/feel like an ass. i had offered to pick him up from the airport last friday morning, come friday night he isnt here and didnt text me about any delays, i finally get a text back saying he was stuck in cleveland because his flight malfunctioned and that he was getting a flight out saturday and would be here around 8pm. so come 9-10ish on saturday i text and call him just saying that i was just wondering if his flight was delayed or something and (thinking he was probably on the plane at the time) i said to call me when he lands.so the next morning, sunday, im on aim and he signs on, so i send him a few messages just saying that im curious where he is/if hes ok, etc etc and not a minute later i get a message from him on myspace saying that he got a call while in cleveland saying his brother was dying and he had to fly to north carolina to see him and his family and that he was on his sisters iphone and he could only use myspace on it because his phone was broken. yadda yadda yadda. so at this point i know something is up so i basically called him out telling him that something was fishy and that i think its funny that hes sent me this myspace message saying he has no phone/internet and can only use myspace and not facebook while hes on aim (it didnt say he was mobile either) and had just posted new pictures on facebook. needless to say, he never replied to my message. theres way more to the whole story but thats a super brief synopsis. and i dont think he realizes that facebook shows me like everything he posts in comments to others and stuff on my main facebook page. eh, whatever. just a random dude. but its still fucking nuts in my opinion. heres a brief rundown of some of things he told me that i found out were lies.
-his age. told me hes 24 but thanks to the magic of facebook updates i was informed that a friend left him a comment saying "happy belated birthday. the big 20!"
-his job. he said he was some high up manager at apple and got all these crazy discounts, but i dont think he even works at apple as a regular employee.
-his schooling. he actually told me he was done with school and had a masters degree. i knew this was a lie the second i heard it and this was actually the lie that led me to start questioning most things he said. anyway, i found out that hes still in school and apparently has classes from 3-7pm on weds. again, thanks to the magic of facebook.
-he told me he doesnt smoke and HATES smoking yet there are pictures of him on myspace smoking.
-i had told him i liked guys who wear glasses so a few days later he posts pictures on facebook of when he and his friends went out one night and he wore his "old glasses" because he didnt want to wear his contacts and you can clearly tell that theyre girls glasses (they had a big chanel logo on the side) and actually in one of the pictures from the same night you can see one of his girl friends wearing the same exact glasses, and in that photo he happened to not have "his glasses" on. odd right?
i dunno...there were so many more small and not-so-small lies he told me but i cant even remember/dont care to remember most of them. but my favorite was the one where he told me this long elaborate story of how he got into a fight with one of the owners of google.
pfft. bitches be crazy!
