I worked with an individual who was a compulsive liar, to the point where she would say things that were verifyably untrue and everyone knew it. But it seemed to me that the lies had less to do with wanting to spread the content, and were more of a challenge to the rest of the group. She knew she was lying, you knew she was lying... but if you SAID anything about it, then you were the enemy. You were expected to roll over and take it.

Either that or she was batshit crazy, which is also possible.

Example:

One day she tripped down the stairs at work and banged her head on the stairwell. Much fuss was made by her and our boss about it. Insert drama here.

The next day she came in to work and claimed that the mark on her forehead was from having got into a fight on the street the night before. She gave us a tale about saving some poor girl from an abusive guy.

We all knew where the mark had come from - we not only saw her accident the day before, but she made a huge goddamn deal about it. But now we are to pretend it was something else?

I don't get people. I was ultimately fired (or quit) because I refused to live in this person's alternate reality... but nobody else seemed to have a problem with it. What's stranger to me than these fucktards is the social reality that lets them get ahead.
