I'll keep this as short as possible...
In high school we befriended a new student. He shared many of our interests and fit in immediately. We enjoyed good times hanging out and eventually he became one of my best friends. However, it quickly became apparent that he was lying about his life; some details mundane, others fantastic. His lies ranged the gammot of what he had had for lunch to being a Guess model and being in an issue of YM magazine.
We paid little attention to his rubbish, and despite his lies we kept him around. He really was a cool guy to party with. Once we graduated high school and moved on to college (he didn't) his lies became less fantastic, but still they continued.
He used his family's wealthy to lend credibility to his lies. During one March break he offered to fly me down to Jamaica, where his family had property (true). I was skeptical, obviously, so I called the airline and actually confirmed our reservation.
The night before we left he backed out, claiming his father was having tests done for testicular cancer. We didn't fly.
I finally gave up on him and told him that he was no longer welcome to hang with us. A year passed, he called a few times, and we finally invited him back in, under the provision he cut the bullsh!t. He promised and all went well for several months.
Then there was a lot of cocaine and the lies started again.
He lost his job, his girlfriend, his friends, and he was kicked out of his parent's house. We cut all ties. Permenantly.
That was three years ago and we've run into him from time to time. Recently, he befriended a mutual friend of ours and we've had to listen to the same rubbish he's been promising.
He told our friend that he's now enrolled at university and is playing for the soccer team. I checked the roster and he's not on the team.
Owned again.
CLIFFNOTES:
Friend lies a lot.
Cut ties with friend.
Discovered he's still lying.
