AskReddit Thread: Dumbest Lies People Actually Pulled Off

There's something hardwired into us as human beings, where we're terribly susceptible to willing ourselves into believing completely blatant lies that people are telling right to our faces. Maybe it's some sort of conflict avoidance. Maybe it's that romantic, idealistic urge to try to see the best in someone. With all of that being said, it's nothing short of a stupefying wonder that these people were able to get away with the dumb lies that they were. We're all human here- we can't know everything. But, it's worth doing your own research sometimes. You never know when someone is just telling you a blatant lie. Good thing good Google exists, otherwise I'd be stuck taking everything people say at face value. Read below to see some of the dumbest lies that people told, basically for no reason other than for their own entertainment. And for our entertainment. Anyways, read on!
