    I could usually get away with saying “Bacon is a vegetable” when ordering a vegetarian burrito with pinto beans; the pinto beans were made with bacon.

    One of my hobbies is saying some absolute bullshit as I walk past strangers, in such a way that they overhear it and think its authentic

    For example, while walking around a famously historic lake, I said to my partner, as we passed another couple, “Did you know they just dug this lake last week?”

      Ayy we have inverse hobbies, mine is making up insane context for the tiny snippets I overhear when passing strangers in a conversation.

        Haha imagine if we crossed paths

        I’m curious where you’d go with one of my favorites: “my brother legally changed his name to Wayne Gretzky to help me pick up chicks”

          You found out about the celebrity-only petting zoo and schemed a way to gain admittance. Wayne Gretzky was decided upon because he’s important enough to get a +1 but no one knows what he looks like without the mask.

      I like you. I once pretended I’d never seen roman numerals in my life by reading each “letter” on some engraved stone aloud in front of my friends and some strangers, and this woman looked at me horrified :D

        Lmao, that’s a good one! I used to love going to Petco so I could loudly read the big sign “Wow, over one thousand-thousand animals saved!” (It said 1,000,000)

    In a presentation the professor asked me a question that, thinking about it today, I answered incorrectly, but I did it with such conviction, even after the professor questioned me again, that in the end he left me alone, gave me a good grade and even some classmates asked me advice.

    Moral of the story: confidence is stronger than the truth. If you see someone very confident in what they say, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are telling The Truth.
