Simple. File a sexual harrassment complaint. What he is doing is creating a textbook example of a "hostile work environment". Get everyone to make a complaint.

Sounds annoying. I knew a chronic liar like that once. He made it his life goal to try to one-up everyone all the time. It got old, so we all stopped hanging out with him. It was kinda fun to catch him in his bullshit though.

I had a friend like this. He claimed one night that he won the Mega Millions. I got on the computer and looked up the winner of the jackpot that he said he won. He stood there like he was sure his name was gonna come up. Nope. Aaaaaaaaand douchebag.

Chronic liar. Everyone knows a few. They can also be referred to as "one-uppers". If you have a story, they have a better one.

This. There are some people whose lives suck so much that they lie pathologically about themselves and their abilities. I grew up with a guy like this; it took me a while since I hung out with him all the time, but I realized that I couldn't believe anything he said.

This guy told us that he was in a gang in middle school and he stole millions from the gang's leader and stashed it in an offshore account and went into witness protection. Thing is, everyone else in this group of friends (except me) grew up together and had known him since he was in preschool.

The stupid thing is his life isn't really bad at all. He has a masters in Chemical Engineering, has a good job, a nice fiancee...Just feels compelled to make shit up all the time. I'm not sure if he lies through his teeth to his fiancee, he kinda stopped trying to contact us when he met her so I'm sure he doesn't want us to reveal to her that he is fucking superman who has lived on every continent, ripped off drug dealers, was contracted by the government in HIGH SCHOOL to work on top secret projects that they felt only he could do...

Do you not have an HR department. Wow, just WTF. Guy is definitely fucked up and either needs a severe ass beating or to be put on meds.
I've never seen a McDonald's with a HR department. :)

Here I was thinking this was going to be worse than the idiot coworker I had that would buy and/or sell prescription drugs at work.

whats wrong with entrepreneurship? Well probably the fact he was working at the time. He should have waited until he clocked out.

This. Start documenting his stories. Once you have a few instances go to HR, then they might want to document a few more before they make a move.

Uh, ok....? Why don't you make a thread asking why we don't have flying cars yet? That's not even as old as the "har, you work at McDonald's!" joke. Oh wait, you already did that, so... [sorry I had to]

OP, are you sure he's not stealing some of the medication and taking it? I know people who tell bullshit, and pretty much all of them, are, or have been on drugs.
