Every job site has the guy who makes up the biggest lies about his personal life. I'd love to hear some of the tall tales you've heard at your workplace.

Had a coworker who claimed he "punched a shark right in the face" while working as an underwater welder. I'm not even sure he can weld.

For your troubles:

My old boss at work would always counter anyone's story with their own story. Just a for instance. Me. I worked on my sprinkler system today and fixed the valve head. Him. I used to install sprinklers at high end golf courses. Every fricken day

Had a trucker once tell me he drove from New Orleans to Jackson Mississippi in an hour flat.

Same guy told me he once drove his Mustang so fast the back window just blew out of it.

A guy in my office claims to have travelled all over the world in past jobs. I asked if he had been to China, as we have to go frequently. He said he had been six times. Within seven months he and I have to go and I am helping him with his Visa and it asks "have you ever been to China" and I checked yes for him, then he says I better say no since it's been a long time ago. He lies all the time.

I've had several coworkers like this ober the years but honestly I couldn't tell you any of their stories anymore. They went in one ear and out the other after I got a good laugh out of them.

I'll try to think of some

MapQuest says that is 196 miles.

I work occasionally with a guy that claims to have been raised in a nudist colony. He started banging cougars at 12.

My boss would live vicariously through my sexual escapades and he'd always rebuttal with, 'I did the same thing to your mom last night'

He was my dad, I couldn't argue.

I work with this guy, he drives a Ford sedan, has 4 kids by three different wives and makes about 60K a yr.

Every other Monday he will come in with "We were at the Maserati dealership this weekend". Or "We were at the Mercedes dealership" Blah Blah Blah

We went to lunch the other day and he told some random server that her was raised on a working cattle ranch.

Most recently a young guy told me he used to have a 103mph fastball when he pitched in high school.

Maybe he thought that New Orleans East was Jackson. They are similar in many ways.

There are a couple Porsche models that could make it, assuming top speed could be maintained for the entirety. Maybe he had one of those experimental Porsche rigs. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I had cars pass me on the autobahn that I didn't have time to identify. Of course, I was driving an Audi at the time. Wouldna happened in my Porsche.
