30 Times People Got Embarrassingly Busted For Their Ridiculous Lies, As Shared In This Twitter Thread
If you have ever been caught red-handed in a lie, you know how severely embarrassing it can be. Whether it was an innocent fib or full-blown deceit, your mind inevitably starts racing, thinking of all the ways to save your reputation. Luckily for us, though, these stories are hilariously entertaining. Recently, author and columnist Séamas O'Reilly posted a tweet about an elaborate childhood lie that involves a school essay, an "Icelandic Fish Festival" and the King honoring him by his presence and chatting with him directly.
As if the tale is not wild enough, he then asked his followers to share "the best, worst, and most excruciatingly stupid lies" they've ever been busted with — and boy, did they deliver! Thousands of people rolled up their sleeves and typed out the mortifying moments that turned out to be so ridiculous and amusing, that it almost pardons them of their wrongdoings.
So buckle up and grab a bucket of popcorn because we at Bored Panda have collected some of the funniest stories from this thread. Upvote the ones you liked most and be sure to share your own embarrassing mishaps with us in the comments!

One year I told my friends and family that I am going to Romania for Christmas. Except what I was actually telling them is that I was going to remain here for Christmas. Now every year it’s become a tradition to declare how we are all going to Romania for Christmas.

Bruh. I can relate to this so much. My canine teeth are actually my third set (weird and rare, but it happens) and they are VERY fang-like. I always used to say I was a vampire. Hell, I still do.

I've got this beat! My permanent canine teeth started coming in while my baby canines were still firmly rooted to my gums. Those two teeth were growing out sideways over the babies. So at one time I had four upper canines until the dentist pulled the babies out. It had me thinking I was part vampire or werewolf!

Nearly everyone engages in manipulation and exaggeration of the things they have seen, heard, and experienced, or simply tries to pull a fast one on someone every now and then. But even when deceivers think of detailed plans and go over the smallest details a thousand times, one slip and the deceit is out in the open. After all, if you’re going to lie, you should be very good at it. Otherwise, get comfortable with being mercilessly teased by anyone who found out about your little mishap.
To learn more about the field of deception, we reached out to Aldert Vrij, a professor of Social Psychology at the University of Portsmouth, UK, and the author of Detecting Lies and Deceit: Pitfalls and Opportunities. He explained that people sometimes make things up because they are too confident they can get away with it. "Also, people often lie to cover up wrongdoing. Just to admit wrongdoing straightaway means that the game is over. Denying wrongdoing (by lying) always gives a chance to get away with [it]," he told Bored Panda.

Aaaannngggrrryyyy beavers!! Yeah, you totally didn't used to watch nickelodeon as a kid.
While it may be hard to admit to mischief, it’s even harder to deny that hearing about these lies being called out in the open is a source of pure entertainment. After all, when people sense that their fibs can quickly get busted, they have to choose whether they want to tell the truth or double down. And that split-second decision can turn a well-crafted lie into an embarrassing disaster. Professor Vrij believes that we’re eager to read these amusing stories "because often people try hard to get themselves out of the situation whereas all they are doing is digging a deep hole for themselves."

We also managed to get in touch with Dr. Chris Street, a senior lecturer in Cognitive Psychology at Keele University, UK, who specializes in lie detection. According to him, research suggests that people are very good deceivers. "Liars do not avoid eye contact or make other bodily movements that we can use to detect them. As far as we know, there is no equivalent of Pinocchio’s nose that we can use to spot the liar," he told us.
"It is perhaps not surprising, then, that we are not particularly good at spotting lies. People tend to be ever so slightly more accurate than random guessing, but it is a very slight difference. Training to detect a lie can help a little, but not by much." Dr. Street explained that when we decide if someone is lying or telling the truth, we tend to guess that they are telling the truth rather than think that perhaps they are lying.

I’ve had medical bills sent to collections. I don’t recall there being notice of the type of doctor- unless it’s in the name of the office? Sounds odd to me, and a breach of privacy for a collector to have access to who I see.
Dr. Street is also the author of the ALIED theory — The Adaptive Lie Detector account. His research showed "that we tend to guess others are telling the truth because making a lie-truth judgment is a very difficult one (after all, liars look just like truth-tellers). When there are no reliable pieces of information around to help us separate liars and truth-tellers, we rely on our past experience with the world, which is that most of us tell the truth most of the time," he explained.
The ALIED theory argues that a lie that is more likely to be believed is one that has reliable evidence that shows that the lie is actually a truth, Dr. Street told us. "This might sound contradictory, but this may not be as difficult as it sounds."
"Offering insider knowledge that supposedly would only be known by those who attended an event, for example, could be achieved by speaking to someone who attended that event," the lecturer continued. "Doctoring photographs may also lend credibility to a statement. Adding these 'convincers' may increase their believability, but it’s a high-risk strategy: if the person who is judging the statement has the means and sophistication to check up on your supposedly checkable detail (such as law enforcement), you could find yourself in a lot of trouble," Dr. Street explained.

While studies find that our ability to detect lies is no more accurate than a flip of a coin, professor Aldert Vrij pointed out that several conditions can allow us to spot someone’s fibs. "It will help to know the person well," he told us. "It also helps to know a lot of background information (evidence) about the topic so that the lie can be detected by comparing the statement with that evidence," Vrij agreed with Dr. Street’s line of thinking.
Finally, it helps to use specific verbal lie detection tools that have been developed, Vrij added. However, this is not straightforward. "[To use them] you need to know which questions to ask and which verbal cues to pay attention to. An example of one tool is to ask someone to back up their statement with independent evidence the interviewer can check, such as named witnesses who can confirm the statement, CCTV footage, receipts, phone use, etc.," he explained. "Truth tellers typically provide more evidence that can be checked than lie tellers," Professor Vrij concluded.

Also not a lie, but I had a biology class that the teacher used electronic scanning forms for his multiple choice tests. He didn't actually put the forms into a scanner to correct them, though.Instead, he used another form as a template, and used a hole punch to put holes over the correct answer selections. That way, he'd lay the template over the test he wanted to correct. Any hole that did not have the space filled in he would mark as incorrect with a red slash. After I realized how he corrected, I never had to study for his class again, and aced it. Just from listening in class, I probably could have gotten 80% right, so when I got to questions I didn't know, I narrowed it down to two and marked them both.

Oh man, I don't think this is really cheating. On pretty much every test I've ever taken, I've gotten things right just by paying attention to the way it was written. For example, if it's multiple choice, and the correct answer for 2 or 3 in a row have been C, then it's very unlikely to be C again on the next one, so if you're unsure between C and D, better pick D. There are about a million tricks like this for taking tests, and all you have to do is pay attention.
Bexx 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 3 years ago
Exactly! I found that if it’s a multiple choice question and one of the answers is “all of the above” - 99% of the time, that’s the correct answer.

I had to give an oral presentation in a college American History class about a person of my choosing. We were supposed to give it in first person. I picked Louisa May Alcott. We had an entire semester to research and write the report. I did it the night before. Fell asleep before I got 1/3 of the way through her life, so I fully BSd the rest of her biography. You got participation points in class for asking the presenter a question, so I also had to answer 15-20 questions I wasn't prepared for. My final project was returned with a low A grade and a comment from the prof that read, "Very well researched." Apparently he knew as little about LMA as I did.

When I was 5 and about to start kindergarten, the teachers mailed out a packet to the parents which included a badge with a number on it for the parents to pin to their kids. It designated which of the two classrooms the kids would go to. My best friend and I were disappointed because we had different numbers, but we wanted to be in the same class. Then one day while we were playing outside, we found a piece of paper with the number "2" on it which was my friends class. We decided that I would pin this piece of paper to my dress and they would let me into her class! Problem solved... or so I thought. I can still feel the embarrassment I experienced as I stood in that doorway and realized that the teachers knew what I was trying to do and they were amused by it!

A girl at my table asked where I was from and for some reason instead of explaining that I had missed the question, I decided to lie and say I wasn't. She asked what state I was from and I told her to guess, so she listed a ton of states. She said Indiana and I decided that sounded inconspicuous. She ended up telling the teacher, so my whole class then became convinced I was from Indiana. They probably still do 7 years later because I never corrected them or mentioned it again.

My youngest brother was caught fighting in achool and had to make an essay about "fighting is always wrong". He asked his big sister for a story. As the teacher knew his handwriting, he wrote it down himself. So, another teacher found this masterpiece lying around in the teachers lounge and decided to submit it to an interschool writing competition. The damn thing won and my brother and his entire class went to a theme park. About thirty years later, I happpen to browse a book containing the best essays to win the competition and noticed the story, which sounded vaguely familiar but tought nothing of it. Until a few days later, when my brother confessed about winning the competition.

My 8 year old daughter hates putting away her clean clothes. I always have to check after she is done to make sure they aren't shoved behind her bed or in her toy box or something. The first time I caught her at it, I found all her clean clothes shoved under her bed and started pulling them out. "These are clean" "no they're not mom, they are my dirty clothes" "I remember washing these exact clothes 2 days ago, these are clean" "no they aren't they are dirty " "the socks are still folded" (I fold her socks). This kid popped off with "they are dirty, when I take my socks off at night i fold them". I'm like, "oh no you do not, ain't nobody in the world does that". She still tries to play it off and convince me she folds her dirty socks. Even though I've caught multiple times not folding her socks after taking them off.

When I was 5 and about to start kindergarten, the teachers mailed out a packet to the parents which included a badge with a number on it for the parents to pin to their kids. It designated which of the two classrooms the kids would go to. My best friend and I were disappointed because we had different numbers, but we wanted to be in the same class. Then one day while we were playing outside, we found a piece of paper with the number "2" on it which was my friends class. We decided that I would pin this piece of paper to my dress and they would let me into her class! Problem solved... or so I thought. I can still feel the embarrassment I experienced as I stood in that doorway and realized that the teachers knew what I was trying to do and they were amused by it!

I once made up a word for a presentation and later found out that not only was that word real, it also meant almost exactly what I had used it for... is there a word for when you think you're lying, but it turns out you were actually telling the truth and just didn't know?

When I was in single digits, someone insisted I tell them which football (soccer) team I supported (I come from a country where the sport is very popular), but I had absolutely no interest in that kind of thing (still don't), but under pressure blurted out the name of the first major city which came to mind, and it turned out their team had been doing well at the time, which for some reason gained me some kudos, and I ended up having to prestend I was interested in whichever team it was for a while.

A friend asked me the difference between steeple and spire. I said steeple had bells and a spire didn't. She believed me so I confessed that I'd made it up. Then I said spire was Latin and steeple was Saxon. She believed me again so I confessed to making that up too. She went to the dictionary and apparently my second lie was true.

I remember when I was in 3rd grade my teacher asked who had been born in Tennessee (where I was born and currently live) and I didn't realize so I didn't raise my hand. A girl at my table asked where I was from and for some reason instead of explaining that I had missed the question, I decided to lie and say I wasn't. She asked what state I was from and I told her to guess, so she listed a ton of states. She said Indiana and I decided that sounded inconspicuous. She ended up telling the teacher, so my whole class then became convinced I was from Indiana. They probably still do 7 years later because I never corrected them or mentioned it again.

My youngest brother was caught fighting in achool and had to make an essay about "fighting is always wrong". He asked his big sister for a story. As the teacher knew his handwriting, he wrote it down himself. So, another teacher found this masterpiece lying around in the teachers lounge and decided to submit it to an interschool writing competition. The damn thing won and my brother and his entire class went to a theme park. About thirty years later, I happpen to browse a book containing the best essays to win the competition and noticed the story, which sounded vaguely familiar but tought nothing of it. Until a few days later, when my brother confessed about winning the competition. It got on my nerves, big time but... at least I have the satisfaction that I was the reason my brother was called in the principal office to be praised as opposed to the other regular visits there...

My 8 year old daughter hates putting away her clean clothes. I always have to check after she is done to make sure they aren't shoved behind her bed or in her toy box or something. The first time I caught her at it, I found all her clean clothes shoved under her bed and started pulling them out. "These are clean" "no they're not mom, they are my dirty clothes" "I remember washing these exact clothes 2 days ago, these are clean" "no they aren't they are dirty " "the socks are still folded" (I fold her socks). This kid popped off with "they are dirty, when I take my socks off at night i fold them". I'm like, "oh no you do not, ain't nobody in the world does that". She still tries to play it off and convince me she folds her dirty socks. Even though I've caught multiple times not folding her socks after taking them off.
