25 Times People Posted “Totally True” Stories That Are Obvious Fabrications
Some lies are so blatant they deserve an eye-roll or two.
There's a high probability of getting away with lies on the internet, and it's likely tempted a few people to embellish the details of their lives to make it appear more exciting or appealing. But some folks tend to believe everything that's posted online, hence the popularity of scams. With 8 billion people on Earth, someone is bound to believe a fabricated sob story.
Today, however, we won't explore further into stories of liars who are trying to make a quick buck off a gullible person, but the liars who create obvious fake scenarios just to validate their thoughts or actions. These eye-roll-worthy moments seem to run rampant enough that there's a whole subreddit dedicated to the stories of such incidents. We've combed through the r/thatHappened community to find their latest selection of posts and shared a few top picks in the gallery below.
