I am interested in a story I heard at work today, that involved a girl getting beat up in the ICBM toilets over the weekend, apparently resulting in a broken nose, 8 broken ribs and left her vomiting blood. Not that this sort of thing doesn’t happen, but I doubt that this story is true as it comes from a new person whom I work with and am doubtfull of her sincerity and truthfullness in all conversations. I would like to put this liar in her place, but am not sure whether she is telling the truth and if not, how to put her in her place?

News flash, vg is a sad, bitter man. Miss taking the statements? I thought you were into being part of the action directly nowadays anyway.

News flash, something happens in Civic on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. I think you will find Police also were taking statements on other days of the week as well, but don’t let that ruin your story

Scenes out the front of Mooseheads on Satrurday night at 12.30: police taking statements in their notebooks from women holding bags of ice to their heads. Civic was pretty feral that night.

‘I prefer a liar to a know it all busy body intent on putting people in their place. Just worry about putting yourself in your place and get a life.’

I just have a question, isn’t this site about having a whinge, it’s been promoted as ‘an open forum, an ACT online soapbox’, so why oh why ‘notdingers’ would you make a comment like that… If you don’t like reading someone’s post, don’t… click the little red box in the right hand corner… Really I think everyone on this site has too much time on their hands, including myself, but that’s what this site is about…. isn’t it????

Really I think we all need to get a life, use our time more productively….. and the comment you make only really adds to comfirming you are also a ‘know it all busy body’, why else would you be on this site, ready other peoples comments!!!

Hahaha thanks for being the only one to get off your arse and actually do something, PBO! Although notdingers’ comment is spot on too.

It’s a STORY sezzle, people routinely exaggerate to make the story more interesting. Eight broken ribs is unlikely unless the fight involved a battering ram, but so what? Exaggeration is not lying, especially in the context of office chit-chat.

Get over it and stop stewing about it and releasing your suspicions and anger onto the unsympathetic ears here at RA.

I believe every office has to have a mandatory compulsive liar. Personally I welcome it for entertainment’s sake if nothing else. I like to feed fuel to the fire so to speak just to see how far they’ll take an obviously made-up/severely exaggerated story. Enjoy it while it lasts I say, because like Felix th Cat says, they’ll eventually get exposed for the attention whore that they are.

For the record, OUR office liar thinks he has people believing that he sometimes comes in on weekends by his own volition at 4am!!! Show me a person who really does that and I’ll show you a Persian rug gallery NOT having a sale….

Hate to burst everyones bubble, but i confirmed that there was an incident of this nature at the club on that night. I spoke to the security that were there on the night this morning.

The only way to be sure is to start a campaign of round the clock surveillance, set up a little tent in the bushes out the front of her house. Track her movements methodically in a little notebook. When you are sure she is asleep spend that time going through her garbage. She is bound to make a mistake eventually, and then BAM! She will be all yours…

…then seek professional help.

I prefer a liar to a know it all busy body intent on putting people in their place. Just worry about putting yourself in your place and get a life.

This is just another manifestation of the “all men are bastards” mentality. She made up the story to perpetuate the image of women as victims and how they are always being mistreated by those nasty old bushwacking males. The next time she tries to spin another yarn like this just tell her you have a Harbour Bridge you want to sell.

I would have thought the OP was at school, not in the workforce! Maybe it’s a night shift Maccas… staff intrigue and plotting.

Creepy as fcuk.

You come over as a class A psycho, sezzle. Here’s a clue – next time you want to ask if something’s true, keep the voices that say the other stalky stuff inside your head.

I can picture you in McDonalds:

“Would you like fries with that?”
“SHE told you to say that, didn’t SHE!”

well that’s a weird arse post

I love you too Headbonius 😛

DMD if I had been driving the car it would have been doing a hell of a lot more than 60 adn you would not have walked off 😛

8 broken ribs = a fight USING the toilets, not in the toilets!

It could be a case of exaggeration, Thumper.

Apparently, I’ve been hit by a car going 60k’s and walked off…

(F*cking 20-30 at the most, honestly!)

Agree with PM. Serial bullshitters rarely pay attention to the continuity of their plot-lines. Even the ones who write Neighbours.

Two words: WIN News
Four words: mind your own business
Three words: see post #1

Take your pick.

This seems more and more like an Agony Aunt site every day…

Sounds like one of those stories that will be tough to prove. Also, even if it’s true, it still doesn’t mean other stuff she says isn’t false.

If she is making things up, a conflict in her stories will arise eventually. You can just sit back and relax.

troll. Ignore.

Unless it directly concerns you (ie the victim is your sister/wife/gf) I reckon you should stay out of it. If this person nis a habitual liar then they will get caught out eventually, just a matter of time.
