Why do people lie online are they living a fantasy or winding us up?

It's a thread asking for advice about knickers.
If I get deleted/ suspended for this rather than something interesting I will be irritated .

What's wrong with that? They're only an item of underwear? Off to take a peep - at the thread, not at anyone's knickers. 👀

I can’t find the thread. I vaguely remember seeing the title but wasn’t interested enough to look at it.

Now it seems I’ve missed out the latest bit of Gnet gossip and don’t know who is on the naughty step 😳

There's one in Chat about Underwear. ??

Is that wicked reporting poster twisting knickers to suit their agenda this time? 🙊

Ferry it is conpletely possible you are right and I am too cynical.

Has it anything to do with workmen and knickers ? Sago
🤣

Yep!

Not exactly lying but I once knew a young girl who sadly did not do very well at school because of her lack of ability. She had a pretty face and could work a bar where men were concerned and she used this to her advantage much to the chagrin of her other friends who did well at school. She always played the pretty victim but a time came when she got known and people would avoid her. Cunning comes in many forms.

It was by someone who had claimed to have both a husband and wife at different times talking about their light blue knickers, the ones they wear under white trousers, having been possilbly stolen by a workman.

You forgot the most important detail……..they had been worn😉.

Perhaps having a wife and a husband means the laundry sometimes gets muddled up and of course enjoying naturism means you could go days without wearing any.

Or the workman could be joining in the threesome( or foursome) all wearing blue knickers 🤣🤣🤣

I must have missed the bit about them being worn!!!
They were put back in the drawer, having been worn?!!

They are definitely knicker obsessed.
In a fun thread about what would you steal from a house I’d you were a burglar they posted knicker elastic. 🥴

No, they were in the laundry basket - if I remember correctly

Ooh, there's none so queer as folk.

I think that I actually spend too much time on here and read so many weird and wonderful stories I just land up believing them all!

Time for a new hobby.

Yes, she/he was sure they put them in the laundry basket!

What an interesting life they must lead.

What an interesting life they must lead.

In March 2022 they speak of a wife who is a funereal celebrant.

In September 2023, they have a row with their husband over a TV advert.

I read half the opening post.
Thought, not sure I beleive it, and closed it again.
not sure who started it, anddont know who replied.

MaizieD the thread is on AIBU and titled Some Advice Please.

Someone with a vivid imagination.

For what it is worth
I think there are people who like story telling in general
There are obvious liars in life
There are people who have bad mental health
There are people who like to stir a pot
There are people who like to get kicks out of life

I assumed the thread had been withdrawn.

Now we are all doing the talking about a thread thing.

It was certainly a strange post. I was like you about believing it fancythat when I read it.
Oh well, nowt so queer as folks, as they say 😊

It's the most interesting thread on here, of late.

When I joined Gransnet I think I read some advice about how to protect your identity and that of grandchildren. It suggested changing some details of ages, gender of grandchildren if asking for advice. I wonder if some people try to do that and then get mixed up?

I don't know what this is about but 2 Times articles last week must have neglected to do any background checks on the stories. They concerned Liz Fraser and Jess Taylor who have 'had lives ruined by trolls'.
Journalists need to dig deeper.
