What's the most brazen example of bullshittery that you've personally encountered?

My first watch was a Grand Seiko. I saved up in high school to get it. One of my good friends back then asked to wear it for one period and he would give it back at lunch. He begged and begged - so as a high school kid I gave in after telling him no a thousand times.

Well, he smashed it (apparently smashed the glass to test it), gave it back, and said it was a fake and that’s why the glass cracked. He even said he didn’t do it and it just fell apart. Asshole became a medical doctor and is now involved in politics and holds state office. I’m still pissed about the watch he never admitted he broke because he was bitter and jealous. Jerk then, jerk now.
