15 Stories That Absolutely No One Would Believe

Everyone is guilty of lying once in a while for one reason or another. Maybe it's a valid reason, or maybe it's a stupid one, but it doesn't matter, we have all done it. It's probably best not to let lying become a major part of your life, though. For some, making up stories for online content is like a hobby to them. Sometimes the intent behind them is very clear, it could be to gain a positive internet reputation through likes and shares, it could be to spread some insane message, and other times the intent is completely lost.

Unfortunately for the people behind these lies, they aren't very good at lying in the first place, otherwise their stories would not have ended up on Reddit's sarcastically titled /r/thatHappened. This subreddit is for all of the most obviously fake stories to be shared and shamed. Some of them are just straight-up ridiculous. Here are some of these "totally true" stories.

Sounds Real

I thought my bf was cheating so I grabbed the left over long hairs that were "mine" on his bed and took them to a lab to see if they belonged to another girl. When I got results back they told me all these hairs belonged to three other girls that had been murdered and they had to report it to the police. That day I found out my bf wasn't only a cheater but a psycho. 1,8M 5405

Had to Add The Applause

5d My son is deaf and I am hearing. When standing on a line in a grocery store, my son and I will having a conversation (in sign language). The lady behind me didnt know I was hearing and she said to the man with her. Oh what a waste, they are deaf. I quickly turned around and gave her my unfiltered opinion on her remark. Lets just say she left her shopping cart and walked out. The store employees applauded me. 497 likes Reply

An Ice Cream Miracle

8:15 .4G Tonight, I was with my son and went to the drive- thru at Mc Donald's, ordering my son some food + an ice cream cone. As I handed the cone to my son, I took a bite off the top. The guy working the drive-thru chuckled and I responded: "tax". Write a comment... The worker then went back, made a McFlurry, that we didn't order, and handed it to me and said "for mama." Not only did that make my day, but it made my son's day too! My son said, "I love that!! That guy deserves a raise!" We think that worker is a boy who loves his mom and recognizes other mamas too.

Probably Not

I saw my ex's family last night. His parents hugged me and said "I'm sorry for any pain our son has caused you. He's a dumb. You are the best thing that ever walked into his life. When he realizes it, it's gonna be too late." Woah no one said this to you

Wow

Speaker | Top 20 Business Podca... 3h. POV: You're a single working mom getting your son ready for school at 6:30 AM. Son: "Mom, can you write on my shoes?" Mom: "What? Hurry up, we're gonna be late." Son: *holding up a Sharpie and his basketball sneakers* Mom: "What am I writing?" Son: "I want you to write 'You can do all things' on the bottom of my shoe... Mom, no matter how good you are and no matter how talented you are, every once in a while, you need to remind yourself. When you're in a tough spot, you have to remember who you are. You can't feel confident every minute of every day." This was an actual convo with me and my son Dylan. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How brilliant was this? I wrote out the phrase for him on his shoe and I just couldn't get over what had happened: My son had taught me the importance of reminders (That's why you always see me saying Today's Reminder:) Here's my top tips on using reminders: Place them EVERYWHERE - on your iPhone, your computer your mirrors even hide them throughout

Humble Brag

adership EQ Speaker Best Selling Author Cons... 3d. Keynote I just called a candidate to let her know that I still didn't have an update for her. Then I got this: "Hi Brigette, I'd like to thank you again for the call. This means a lot to me. In my experience, most companies would never have cared to provide any feedback. I just want to say you are by far the most professional and pleasant HR partner I have ever encountered in my career, which also speaks volume on the reflection of your values." Call. It only takes seconds out of your day, but will mean everything to them.
