Some lies are so unbelievable that you wonder why the liar even bothered in the first place. One thread on a popular online forum asks, “What's the dumbest Lie you've ever heard?” Commenters flooded the thread with their hilarious replies.

1. Misspelled Vandalism

One user's daughter got her hands on some spray paint and tried to get her brother in trouble by spray painting his name on the side of the house. Her mom didn't believe her for one minute because her daughter terribly misspelled her son's name.

2. Stolen Identity

A bouncer at a nightclub carded a young-looking man to ensure he could legally enter the bar. But the ID the man pulled from his pocket just so happened to belong to the bouncer, who had lost it about three months prior. The young man didn't get into the club that night.

3. Titanic Tragedy

A young man shares a hilarious story from when he was in sixth grade and his classmate Claimed his parents died on the Titanic. For those of you who need a history refresher, the Titanic sank in 1912.

4. Shark Attack

Kids tell the darndest lies to try and impress each other, but if they go too hard, it backfires. While bragging to friends, one kid claimed that a shark chomped off his dad's arm but that, luckily, it grew back soon after.

5. I'm Wearing My Visibility Cloak

One commenter writes about someone who claimed they know how to turn invisible. However, they “conveniently couldn't demonstrate it because they were wearing their ‘visibility cloak' that day,” they state.

6. Laundry Day

Employers hear many crazy stories about why employees can't make their shifts. One shares a story about an employee who claimed he couldn't work because it was laundry day, and all of their clothes went in the washer at once before it broke. They then argued they couldn't make it to work because they were naked and every piece of clothing they owned was soaking wet.

7. Whoever Smelt It Dealt It

Someone's sister known for her stinky farts always blamed her flatulence on her boyfriends. But one Christmas morning, she slipped up when she let out a big fart and blamed it on her current beaux. “The thing is, she soon realized he wasn't even there. And everyone was looking at her,” they say.

8. Worm Barber

To get out of trouble, kids often try to lie their way out. But they don't know their parents are much wiser and can see right through their fibs. One parent glanced at her three-year-old and thought his hair looked odd, only to stumble upon a clump of his hair hidden in a blanket. She asked him if he had cut his hair, and he replied, “No. But maybe a worm crawled into my hair and chewed it off.”

9. I Found The Jet Skis in The Woods

People who steal often have to lie to cover it up, just like this user's uncle who showed up at home with a jet ski, claiming he found it in the woods. But Grandpa saw through the lies and reported the theft to the police.

10. Broken Foot

Students will lie about anything to get out of class. One teacher noticed a student at school in the morning but missed 4th period and was back in class by 6th period. When the teacher asked him why he had missed his earlier course, the student said he had broken his foot. “I looked down at his perfectly fine foot, then slowly back to his face,” the teacher writes.

11. Eyes in The Back of Your Head

One attention-seeking first grader told a tall tale about eyes in the back of her head that no one expected. She claimed she was born with her eyes in the back of her head, so she went to the doctors and took medicine that “made them migrate around to the front where they belong.”

12. Stitches

Suppose you're trying to conceal the reason behind a trip to the emergency room. In that case, I don't recommend using this lie in your cover-up. One commenter says they knew a girl who got stitches on her foot, so they asked what happened. The girl replied that she had stepped on a piece of Bermuda triangle.

13. It Smells Good in Here

Getting caught in a lie is embarrassing, especially when it's as stupid as this. One woman tells a story about an ex-roommate who claimed she was in a car crash in high school, which ultimately caused her to lose her sense of smell. But one day, she walked into their dorm room and said, “Ooh, it smells great in here!”

Can you think of any absurd lies you've heard in your lifetime?
