Man, nothing grinds one's gears like encountering a lousy liar who has been spinning their web of lies for so long it's as if they've been sold on their lies themselves. Fortunately, the internet's populated by some truth defending warriors that have made it their mission to call out the lies as they seem them. Sometimes that can take providing cold hard undeniable evidence. Liars can get real weaselly. 

All it had to be was a dumb marketing project with some giveaway stuff, but one "do you know who my father is" type just had to be involved.

Nothing gets the reader going like a good old fashioned "choose your own adventure" story. This particular adventuresome tale by Rob from Cyanide & Happiness is as well written as it is comically absurd. You've got to hand it to Rob for really keeping the readers on their toes with all the twists we witness with a very loyal and helpful, Tim Cruise. That dragon never stood a chance. 

Real or not, this Twitter thread about a man's strange journey through a completely bizarre McDonald's drive thru is definitely one for the books. Fast food establishments have an uncanny knack for attracting all kinds of unexpected situations in this wild universe.

Other times, it's the actual employees and they're trying to sell you apple pies of McDonald's dollar menu, at a discount. 

As long as we've had social media apps available to us we've had deceptive fools try to pawn off their bundles of hastily woven lies to people that they never think will call them out.

That being said, these laughable liars got their comeuppance when it was all said and done.

Those Amazon Echos can get you, man. This couple experienced quite the shocking moment when the husband had unknowingly paired up with the Amazon Echo, while watching a video with Terry Crews in it.

Rare insults will always manage to melt our icy hearts. They're often creative and brutal, and likely leave whoever is on the receiving end of them, speechless. The online world will always have people ready to spew the next insult, so why not spice it up a bit by thinking outside the box. These folks definitely pulled it off. 

Twitter users are sharing the strangest things their coworkers say. It could be something as simple as an enthused "good morning" from a coworker that always seems to wake up on the right side of the bed, while you are busy cursing the daily morning grind.

Whether it's born out of insecurity, compensation or the misguided belief that they are truly the best and brightest, cringeworthy braggarts have covered the internet with their supposed genius.
