My friends neighbor use to lie like this all the time. Pretty much any big war event, he was there and somehow the main guy.
But he would lie about other nonsense too. My friend just use to politely nod his head, but eventually he found it highly entertaining to call the guy on BS when the guy said something that would be easily verifiable.
Like one time the guy claimed he did a pop-a-wheelie all the way around the block. My buddy was like:
"No you didn't."
"Yes I did!"
"Okay go get your bike. I'll give you $100 If you can do one to the end of this driveway."
"My bike has a flat."
"You can use mine. This should be easy money for you. Don't you want it?"
Sooo what happens when you call them on it and they get backed in a corner? His face turned red as a beet and he just exploded with cursing!
"Fuck you you piece of shit! I don't need to prove anything to your bitch ass!!"
He could be heard trashing his own garage for like the next 20 minutes. Anyway, the next day he comes out front to smoke a cigarette and says "What's up?" To my buddy, like nothing had ever happened. But my buddy wasn't done. He wanted the guy to confess he lied.
"Hey, that's bet is still on the table. If you can do a wheelie to the end of the driveway it's $100."
The guy started laughing and said, "Oh my God! You believed that? You're gullible. I was just joking man."
"Oh? Then why did you have a temper tantrum and storm off?"
"What? I didn't....ohhh, I know what you're talking about. I was pissed off about something else that I can't talk about. Sometimes memories from my military days pop in my head and I get irate."
It never ends.
