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.

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.

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.

Ah yes, because chickens that aren't slaughtered in your backyard, but come prepackaged to the store from somewhere else, are all grown on trees and plucked from the branches when ripe...
Right, and the chickens that this person “freed” were not hit by a car.

Was it a military chicken coup? Did those chickens declare that KFC independent of all other KFCs? Would that mean it a hen-clave?
Unless the chickens were trying to overthrow the government, they were not in a chicken "coup." They were in a chicken coop.
What if they were??? And the employee just helped them in ways unimaginable??? WHAT IF WE'RE DOOMED???

"Dobby is freeee!" For health and safety reason, restaurants do not use fresh meat. They have a vendor who supplies processed meats and foods. Unless you live in a villiage of 50 people or less, because the time all by itself to slaughter, pluck, boil, skin, and cook 1 chicken is longer than a 5 minute wait in line.
Yes....and the company awarded your release of live animals into the dining space by making you head manager XD lol I did giggle at the idea of kfc having a secret chicken coop and customers not knowing: "I swear i can hear chickens!" Manager: "no, itll just be the ghosts of the chickens/that's just our ambience soundtrack"
Maybe you should worry about the big "coup" out back. Head managers are quite vulnerable to things like that.
The fact that this dingbat wrote "coup" instead of "coop" is telling.
You pluck, gut, skin, butcher, and then package and freeze the chicken too? How much time do yall have?
WOW... You got me sayin 'surrreee' by not eve 4 sentences in... "chicken coop in the back" Puh-lease
I am willing to pay extra for that kind of fresh meat. Provided cook takes necessary precautions for cooking that fresh meat.
Coup is an attempt to overthrow a government. Coop is where you (supposedly) keep the chickens. Maybe coup does work in this instance.
Ah yes, because prepping the chickens on- site is ten times worse then buying it.
as you shouldn't Slaughter the animal you should buy the artificial terrible-tasting version of the animal like a civilized person

And then, suddenly, I was an astronaut in New Jersey but I was wearing a cowboy outfit for some reason and I had to put all these really small cats in a VW bug car... Man, ambien is really weird.
Because so many customers dine in at KFC and no one ever heard all that clucking in the coup our back...
Yeah those FRESH chickens. REAL good. That's the stuff right there.
Yeah, beacuse the neighbors (or adjacent businesses) didn't mind all the loud cooing, flying feathers and raw blood pools running down the sidewalks and back alleys. One chicken produces 2 legs, 2 breast and a about a pound of meat. Must not have been a very busy KFC or you'd have had to slaughter about a 250 chickens every single day. Not to mention all the waste by products. Chicken, s**t, eggs, hay, chicken feed. How f*****g stupid do people think we are. Then that doesn't even cover health department inspections and license requirements.
Were the chickens planning a COUP or did they live in a COOP? Moron, was this Yugoslavia?
do you know how many chickens they would have to keep to feed everyone at a KFC? at least 2-300 per day lmao the chicken coop would be bigger than the damn parking lot
Omg really I can’t believe it! That’s so crazy man! Those poor chickens bro! I’m never eating KFC again bro!!
This thing is literally titled people who got caught lying how can you believe them

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

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.
