30 Times People Got Busted For Their Crystal-Clear Lies And Others Shared Them In This Group
Nobody is innocent when it comes to exaggerating things we’ve seen, heard, or participated in. Like, that smashing b-day party of yours in an abandoned castle that got everyone talking. Except that it was your uncle’s porch and the only guests were your twin cousins from Wyoming.
We’ve all been there, done that, but sometimes things go from exaggerated to plain made-up in an instant. And there’s a subreddit called r/thatHappened dedicated entirely, as its description says, to “true stories that are 100% true and actually happened.” You get the sarcasm.
As for evidence, the 1.3 million members of the community are sharing screenshots of people lying their hearts out with a straight face. Trust me, the result is totally hilarious.

It’s True, I Was The Box Of Tampons
Ultimate Survival Mode
All humans possess the ability to lie: it’s something we’re born with and we die with. One study published in the Journal of Basic and Applied Social Psychology found that 60 percent of people can’t go 10 minutes without telling a lie. At the same time, another study published by the American Psychological Association suggested that lying less was linked to better average health, both mental and physical.
So, why on earth do we lie, then? To find out, Bored Panda reached out to Traci Brown, a fraud-busting body language expert. It turns out, "we learn the benefits of lying when we’re little, like protecting ourselves from punishment or to get what we want. Situations have more gravity as we get older and lying can protect our relationships or even millions in fraud theft,” Traci explained.

Forgot To Mention, We Both Have Amnesia
Sometimes, we lie just to make other people around us feel good about themselves, so not all lies are inherently bad. But it turns out that “people who tend to lie frequently do for a couple of reasons: survival or they can't tell the difference between truth and a lie.”
Traci said that mental illness can also be the reason for an urge to lie. “It runs the scale from narcissism to psychopaths. And these folks make up about 15% of the population.”

Lying big always starts from simple steps, aka lying small. First, as kids, we learn to tell pro-social lies, like telling your grandma you like that new hand-knit sweater she gave you on Christmas when, in fact, you can’t even look at it.
According to this study from the journal Nature Neuroscience, “when people tell small lies, the brain becomes desensitized to the pang of guilt that dishonesty usually causes.”
The more little pro-lies we give, the less guilt we feel, and the more it snowballs into bigger lies that suddenly become way easier. In some cases, people get so used to falsifying or fabricating things that they start believing their lies. At some point, it turns into habit and it becomes incredibly hard to quit for good.

I edited this post down to the true parts: "I had a random guy in my apartment last night......then the conversation got weird...."
@Lexie Mitchell, four words: shut the f*ck up. You're everywhere being a troll and I'm sick of you.

I think the "NASA scientist" in a labcoat was actually an emergency mental health nurse carting them off , "Of course the earth is flat, just look here while I put this strappy jacket on you"...
Wouldn't they be found "aflat the entire world" instead of "around the entire world"?

Yes, he must have been a NASA agent bc he said so. I mean there's no way he was blasted, or drunk or just joking. Yes I work at NASA too and the moon landing was fake. You HAVE to believe me right? Just bc I said so?
... yeah... sometimes you can just tell someone is making s**t up from the way they type it out. and "KAPOW!" really?
I get on a site called Christian forums (I'm agnostic) to watch them fight over who is wrong or right in religion. Tons of people on there believe the bible says the earth is flat.
It literally doesn’t though. It says the opposite, in fact, in Isaiah 40:22. “It is He who sits enthroned above the circle of the Earth...”

Had a random guy in your apartment? Just some NASA employee who stumbled in? Seems legit.
She had a random guy in her apartment? And he lied and said he worked at NASA?? hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I think that someone was taking the pee out of the Official FlatEarth Discussion.
Flat earth is not even info, much less top secret. NASA though...a huge waste of money.
I remember reading this on reddit and being shocked that people believe it. Its also so easy to see how and why she faked it
The reason she faked it is the same reason that some cops create false evidence. They know the person is guilty with all their heart, but there isnt enough evidence so would it really be that bad to create evidence of something that is DEFINITELY true but just not enough people believe in.

A dome? Who puts a dome? What is it made of? Who build it? Why CO2 hasn't kill us yet?
True except for the smoke being crystal meth and the mirrors being tinfoil hats
I HIGHLY doubt that.... NASA would NEVER, and i repeat NEVER give out info that is , one NOT true and two CONFIDENTIAL.
The whole post is about people making up stories.

Delusional Tall Man Thinks Women Openly Drool Over His Phenomenal Height
The scary part is some dudes are really so deranged, they'll mistake any kind of old look (even disgust) for lust. I had a dude follow me home from the subway one day asking for a date. I'd been staring at him on the subway because he was fat, ugly and looked like he hadn't showered in a week and he apparently mistook that for interest on my part!!

It's honestly sad to see adults or even teenagers making up tall tales like that for attention. This behaviour is only normal for preschoolers and part of a child's development, but definitely not healthy and normal for anyone over the age of 10.
I agree! It's crazy to believe anyone would just straight-out lie like this, especially when they promote dangerous or untrue behavior and ideas. Like anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers.

Some of these have been taken seriously and have been featured multiple times on Bored Panda before...
I feel like some of these could possibly be true, but most are just ridiculous
Mankind is also doomed if they don't have children.

Some of these were actually kinda funny, even if they were fake. :/

I just feel sorry for these kids. Their parenst must have done a s**t job raising them with so little self-esteem.
