I work with a total bull¥$€#er!
Discussion
I don't understand why people do it?
He particularly loves to bulls
t about houses and cars.
My boss is about to get a PCH deal for his wife on a RR Evoque. Matey boy in the office declares he's getting a brand new Audi, which 2 mins later is a 61 plate with 98,000 miles and then produces pictures of a 56 plater with 112,000 miles!
Next thing is he's buying a house worth £310,000 from a mate for £200,000 on a 45 year mortgage @ £700 a month!
Today he declares he's bought a 318d Msport Toring with 29,000 miles for £7200. I get him to show me a picture of the car, which following a check on the internet has 76,000 miles and is £13,300!
I can't stand it much more. I think not only does he bullst about his life I think he bullsts about work, this doesn't help the cause of me or my boss when you consider we already work in an industry with a perceived poor image.
The other day he claimed he spends £80 per month on fuel travelling to an from work. He works 25 miles from home (at least) and drives a 2002 A190 Auto!!
I'm getting to the point where I'm going to confront this fkwit!
Rant over

I must say, the title made me laugh. If I had coffee it would've been all over my keyboard, if I had a keyboard.
There's always one though, isn't there. I always find probing further until they're uncomfortable is great fun...it's when a lie comes up about something you know very much about it's the most satisfying!
The problem is we're a small team. I challenged him on one of his lies and he actually got quite agressive. I think he bullsThere's always one though, isn't there.

ts clients as I say, myself and my boss built our business up over a 3 year period by being honest and acting with integrity. I think this will destroy it as customers will see through him I think.My boss is away until next week, however I think on his return I'm going to request a meeting to deal with this t

i hear you OP this is one of those that boils my blood, i used to work with a similar bell end at first you let them live theyre little fantasy untill it gets to you too much and you end up just saying "no you havent" and "no you didnt" and eventually "your talkin b*llocks again" as someone else said just call him on everything he says if you dont you will end up losing it and hitting him with something 
I already refer to him as Jackanory! It's hilarious sometimes but mostly it's quite sad. I don't know why people do it, I wonder whether they are actually ill.
I've decided not to call him in his lies as we are a small team and when I did challenge him on the one about the full economy of his car he got agressive and called me numb nuts!
I pointed out to him the manufacturer states the mpg for his car was a reported 38.9 or something, however based on what he told me he was actually getting 73.9! He was absolutely adamant he was right and told me not to make him out to be a complete dick. I said he didn't need my help!
