40 People Are Sharing True Stories About Themselves That Sound Completely Made Up
Ever had an unbelievable coincidence happen to you? Ran into a celebrity while grocery shopping? Were you on the edges of a scandal that made national news? How about a close brush with the supernatural?
If so, writer Aidan Moher wants to hear from you. A thread he started on Twitter asking for his followers’ wildest stories has attracted responses that range from goofy to chilling. Bored Panda asked the author what he learned from the viral thread and you can see what he said, along with the stories themselves, below. You can also browse all of the responses by searching the tweet’s permalink to find tweets quoting it, but here's a handful of our favorites.

The sci-fi and fantasy author shared some of his own experiences that he’d had in mind when he started the thread, but he admitted that the people of Twitter had him bested. Some of these stories are a little stranger than fiction, whether they're just odd scenes or the whole movie pitch.

Aww its so sweet that the firefighters would go out of their way to save the presents!
YoyoSthlm, I believe you need a class in manners. For it appears you are a troll and a worthless waste of human flesh to act superior to someone who may not be a native English speaker due to jealousy and ugliness. What exactly did you contribute to the situation other than your nasty attitude?
Respect.... I go very often to the BarberShop, so I got a discount and I have my own button with my name on it on the cash register :-)
I would have just joined him/her. Weird cats also deserve love.
Actually happened in India. He died in hospital later, donating his organs beforehand.
Babies are born very pale and can darken a lot within the first year. Melanin just hasn't rose to the surface yet.
$1.68 from and NBA player after going through all that hell, what a cheap a*s! This is what is wrong with our society folks! We pay people billions of dollars to carry a damned ball and next to nothing to defend our country and the one that defends and often dies for our country cares more about the average worker than the one who carries a damned ball across a court or field! What a POS!
What song Luke??? Funny if it was When it Rains it Pours!!!
What? I am 11 and don't know much about world politics, so can someone explain?
Only a fanatical believer would think that the death of someone is a help of God. No matter muslim or christian, this IS VERY VERY WRONG! Atheist here!
Being an introverted and shy adolescent, and, frankly, the opposite of popular with the boys, I was one of the rare kids that weren't in a romantic relationship. Random people would put random pressure on me in this regard with questions like "Why don't you have a boyfriend?", "When you gonna get a boyfriend?", "I know someone nice, maybe I can introduce you?" etc. So, being famously crazy for east Asia and sci-fi, half jokingly (half wishinly) I'd reply in my typical fashion: "I'll find myself a nice and tall Korean guy who will build me robots". My husband is Korean, over 180cm tall and holds a PhD. in robotics. ♥ (And, yes, he's nice too)
So all your dreams are fulfilled... My french wife always wanted to marry an exotic foreigner and all she got was an Italian-german :-)

@Ana J Republicans threw huge fits about Ms. Obama. Every first lady has a cause, and Michelle's was healthy eating. Republicans would say horrible things about planting a vegetable garden at the White House, say Michelle Obama wanted to take away their french fries, and continuously acted like kids eating healthy and nutritious food was affront to their Constitutional rights. They called her "an ape in heels." Melania's cause is anti-bullying. No one has said that anti-bullying is a stupid cause. Just that it's ironic considering how much her husband bullies others.

Struggled in school (maybe because I was hardly ever in primary school, heh Mom and Dad???) Anyway, I digress. I just didn't fit in and didn't understand the world or people. I was repeatedly told I had a learning disability. Because I heard this so often I believed it. I'm 44 and this year I was informed I'm Autistic. Got tested by Mensa and turns out I have an IQ of 150, an eidetic memory, and am a super-recogniser. For weeks after I got the invite letter I'd just burst out giggling. I kinda feel like someone handed me a wand and said: 'You're a wizard!' XD
You are a wizard thats just discovered their magic! Wow
