What is the most ridiculous thing you've convinced someone to believe?

I have a great one. I was kind of a douchey teenager and was just rotten to people at times. I had a friend who was a neighbor who’s mom was always partying, could never hold a job, and hung around real trashy people. She would do clinical trials to get money so should could fuel her habits and get by. Me and some other friends (not the kid who’s mom were talking about) who knew his at-home situation would make fun of his mom for the trashy things she would do. One morning when I’m sleeping at my friends house, she comes in the room and starts showing my friend some burns on her wrist that we’re an adverse reaction from some clinical trial. This was like music to my ears. I jump On my phone and start texting my friend who I joked with about how she was back at it again, and she’s a Guinea pig and she has this nasty burn… real mean stuff. I was sitting across My my friend (who’s mom we’re taking about) and sent the text to my other friend. My buddy looks up at me as he was holding his phone and just goes … “what the fuck dude” …. I accidentally Sent the text to him. He was justifiably upset and just walked out of the room to take a shower. He left his phone behind on the charger. He had once told me his phone passcode when we were drunk and he didn’t know I knew it. So I went onto his phone and deleted the text. When he came back to confront me he realized the text was gone. I then spend the next 10 minutes convincing him that it must have been a dream. He believed it.
