What's the dumbest lie you ever told somebody?

[tessa grace]

What the title says. I'll go first.

So basically me and my older sister convinced my little sister that there was such thing called a "Target Jail" and if you stole something from Target you would be taken to a secret cellar there. They would hold you hostage and throw those giant red balls on top of you to make you confess. We also convinced her that every store or company that had the color red in it was secretly working with Target and if you stole from those places they would also take you to "Target Jail". The best part about this lie is that my sister believed us.

In ~2nd grade I told someone I was a fairy for some reason and then I had to keep up the act

oh my gosh i have so many, i want to share three of them, i had...quite the imagination lol (this is what happens when adhd doesnt get medicated)

when i was about 7-8 years old i told my friend that i had Tasmanian tigers (which are extinct) living in my backyard (i had some woods back there) and i insisted they were there and wed just....stare.

the second was around the same age i told another friend that i had a brother who had 12 children.... i dont even have a brother and my sister has only had my first niece and nephew four years ago (when i was 20)

the last was from my weeb years, starting at the age of 12. i told my friend group that i was part japanese and i just didnt get dominant genes to look the part, i told them we had family over there and that i couldnt speak japanese simply because i wasnt taught. i even made the fakest name ever that doesnt mean anything. thing is, they believed me over a year, even after i dropped it because i thought it was so fake to begin with that they wouldn't possibly believe it

i also want to share one from a friend of mine (one that believed i was japanese) because it was nuts

this is when she was 16, so pretty old to be telling lies like this. she had an extreme obsession with british men and so she came to me one night on skype telling me she had a british boyfriend. i was excited for her, but then things got....bad. all of a sudden he was the owner of a five star restaurant, and 30 (30 and shes 16....girl yikes), and she got to name his six year old daughter whose mom died and so had no name for six. whole. years.

i always asked for at least a picture or what the restaurant was called and shed be like "oh i cant give you those sorry" and like...why. one time he "came over" but like he couldnt have in the timeframe that she gave because even a fast plane ride would have been hours longer. she kept this up for well over a year and was serious about it.

In Kindergarten I told people if they stuck their hands in my lunchbox their hands would turn into glitter. Not sure why, but it was pretty funny looking back!

when i was like 7 or something like that, i was obsessed with cows but only for a week
and i told everyone at school i had a pet cow, some people believed me and i always look back wondering why i would make up such a weird thing and how anyone believed it

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

The only lie that I find dumb (and can think of atm) is that in 6th grade when I was starting to get desperate for friends I convinced them all I was into kpop and listened to it with them at school.
It was a brutal 3 months before giving in and cutting them off (bc they were toxic-)

guess i could never lie because i had no friends to make weird things up and convince them they were true

I remember in elementary school I wanted to be liked so bad. I tried to say that I was related to Jesse McCarthy, and some believed me for a little while

 

[Clock]

Not sure if this counts, but I lied that I hated anime in my school to defend myself in a way

 

[Seastar]

I can't seem to remember any. I know I wasn't always honest, but I must've not said anything super weird.
However, I vaguely remember a school friend lying to me. She told me that one of her other friends was really Hannah Montana. Whether it was her or the other friend who started it, I will never know.

 

[mermaidshelf]

i'm not sure if this is the dumbest but it's one i remember as being funny after the fact. i usually say that i have a bf if some creep won't leave me alone but once there was a persistent dude and i said i was married instead (seemed like the type to not care if i had a bf or not) and he was like where's the ring? i didn't think of that lol. bro take the hint and just leave me alone i'm trying to take the bus in peace

I think it was that one time when a relative asked "are you awake?" and I said "no".
