I hate liars

I just need to vent..

One of my best friend's has been dating Jason's cousin for about a year which usually works out great for us as far as double dates etc goes.  I've never had an issue with this guy but lately I've noticed what a liar he is and it's driving me nuts.  He just got a new job as an Hvac tech/handyman for an apartment complex that is near where we live.  I saw the ad for the job in the news paper a few weeks ago which stated exactly how much it paid ($15/hr) and the benefits you get (one being a 25%discount on a $1100 apartment).  We hung out on Saturday and he was bragging saying this new job he got pays $30/hr (twice as much as the ad stated) and that he gets an apartment for $150 a month (not even close).  I wanted to call him out on his BS right then in there but kept my mouth shut.  I came home, found the ad again, and I was right.

It is none of my business what he makes or what kind of perks he gets, but it just annoys the crap out of me when people lie about the dumbest things.  I feel like I am noticing him lying about random things more and more often and it makes me not even want to spend time with him.  He lies about the cost of things, the amount of time it takes him to get from point A to point B, and even the mpg he gets in his car...it's so stupid.         

Do any of you have friends who do this?

Re: I hate liars

  • I definitely know some people who do this. They just exaggerate everything they say. I think it gets to the point where they don't even realize they do it to be honest. It's just what they do - add a little here, add a little there - to make what they say seem more exciting.
  • I used to have a similar friend in college; but mutually, we kind of let our relationship dissolve and now we're more of FB accquantances (sp) than friends.  Partially due to similar situations above I think.

  • My uncle is exactly like this. When ever he talks he always has to one up you on everything so he lies. Their way more then exaggerations tho. It is so annoying to talk to him because if I said I went skydiving, he would say he went skydiving in HAWAII..know what i mean? ugggg

    Ugh yes, this is exactly what I'm talking about.  It's so annoying and ridiculous.
