Exaggerating.

I love when people exaggerate.  Plain and simple.  Exaggerating is a diva way to lie. Part of the story is true, but you know what the blatant lie is, and there is a point that you are clearly trying to make.  Some of my favorites...


1. When we moved into our apartment, our neighbors told us to be aware of our neighbor next door who was 150 years old.  I still laugh when I think about her being this old.  My neighbor had to put up curtains in his room because he was seeing "too much of her" in the morning.


2. "Today I had 400 million pieces of candy." (If anyone says this but me it is definitely an exaggeration)


3. "I called you 90 times." Did you really call me 90 times?  I am sure in the midst of the first 20 calls I would have noticed unless you are my 11th grade boyfriend of three weeks CT who called me 30 times on a Saturday.


4.  "There is nothing at the mall.  I tried on everything in the mall and couldn't find anything."  You know it is impossible that they did this but you get the point across.  Did you try on EVERYTHING at Hot Topic? Eddie Bauer? Lady Grace? Big & Tall?


5.  "(Insert any day of the week) was the drunkest I have ever been."  I doubt it, but please continue on with your crazy party story.


6. "I weigh as much as a car." -Jim Bove.  No way, you weigh 130 pounds soaking wet.


7. "I could eat a horse." I guess technically you could, but would you really want to?????


8.  "I just peed my pants laughing." You have a  bladder problem and you should seek medical help immediately.

"Sometimes I feel like you have to exagerate to make a story better" -Whitney Michalek


I could go on for hours.  I think some people would be offended if you called them out on exaggerating but I thoroughly enjoy it.  Don't ever stop.
