People have been sharing the biggest ‘weapons grade BS’ that people tried to make them believe at school – 19 tales that are clearly nonsense
Being at school is an awkward time. And for a lot of people, the only way to get through is to make yourself seem impressive by spouting whopping great lies.
Even though they’re a bit pathetic, these lies are often hilarious. So much so that Reddit user MiskonceptioN asked people r/AskReddit to share the biggest fibs they heard during their school days.
‘What is some weapons-grade bollocks that kid at school tried to make people believe?’
And they even got the ball rolling with a story of their own.
‘I was recently reminiscing with some mates about our school days and we remembered “Mikey”.
Mikey used to be absolutely full of shit, and one of his favourite things to do was if you bumped into him outside of school, he’d pretend not to know you. Then, when you saw him in class he’d say “oh, my twin saw you up town the other day”. Absolute headcase!
So, what bullshit did your friends/classmates try to get away with?’

‘Oh man, I have a really fun one. I didn’t sit my SATs (the Year 6 ones, because I got struck down with Appendicitis and had to go into emergency surgery. When I got back to school, my mate said that his dad was a Porter at the hospital, and he could get me the offending organ, if I wanted it.
‘He brought my “appendix” in, a few days later. Kid went to the effort of making a vaguely organic looking thing, out of cotton wool and felt tips, and suspending it in a jar of red food colouring. I was not entirely convinced but, looking back, I think fondly of what a sweet prank it was.

‘He was a carer for his mum who was disabled. He had to go shopping with her, look after her and make sure she was okay. He even told the teachers this to explain his lateness and frequent absence. His mum’s disability? She was a dwarf.
‘One of the teachers actually knew his mum. She wasn’t a dwarf and also had a job. She had even been in for parent’s evening.’
