Hotair man is back in the office today! I've never met someone who over-exagerates stories so much!
At first they sound believable, and then eventually they cross over the believable line into "oh my goodness, do you think i'm a moron" territory.
All of these stories have happened to "friends" of his:
1) Like the pregnant friend who was 4 weeks overdue, and her waters had already broken 2 weeks before, so she took to mountainbiking up great big hills to try and hurry up the labour! Hmmm, I've not had kids yet, but I do know that when the waters break, you have to be exceedingly careful as the baby becomes highly prone to infection. Oh, and when you become 2 weeks overdue, don't they normally induce the labour??
2)He has a friend who was a vegan eco-warrior swampy type person, who lived up a tree miles from any civilisation. He fell 60ft out his tree, had to have both legs amputated, and ended up having to go stay with his parents when he got out of hospital, who served him steak, eggs and cheesy chips and he instantly gave up being a vegan.(How he got help when he had no mobile phone and no people for miles around I do not know...)
3) Then there's the friend who was out running, and discovered a man lying face down in a lake in the middle of no where. He pulled him out the lake, revived him, but in the process broke his sternum, and the guy (whose life he saved) then sued him!
I may be blonde, but I'm not stupid, and 90% of his stories have a severe amount of impossibility. It's like he seems to think that everyone believes him, and that we're ALL stupid.
I suppose if it makes him feel wanted and good about himself, I shall humour him, but he just makes himself look like a doofus! Or maybe he really does think I'm stupid and believe every word that comes out his mouth?
