Not going to go into too much detail here but I have a new temporary job and let’s just say my coworkers are very… interesting.
I have only been working for a week or so and already have endless amounts of comedy material. I’m just going to focus in on one coworker for now though. We’ll call him “Cartman”. That should help you get a good visual of him if you’ve seen the show South Park.
He’s over 350 pounds and has bright red hair (so, I guess he can’t really be Cartman). After meeting and talking to him for about two and a half minutes I quickly realized he is a compulsive liar and views himself as falling somewhere between George Clooney and Fonzi. When I met him, it went something like this:
Me: Hey, I’m “Saucebox”.
Cartman: I’m “Cartman”. You know, a few months back when I was fighting a Pitbull, my hand was torn almost clean off. It was almost as bad as the time when I was stabbed while stopping a theft on a construction site.
There was no context for this whatsoever.
Then, I shit you not, this guy points to a trailer 20 yards away from where we are walking (this is an outside job) and says: Yeah, it happened right over there in my front yard.
He wasn’t kidding. He lives in a trailer directly behind where we work. He clocks out and walks ten feet. One day after he had already clocked off I was walking around the back of our building and ran into him. I was confused and asked him why he was still there after getting off work more than two hours ago. He says: What do you mean? I’m cleaning my yard. And then points to his trailer behind him.
Cartman drives a thirty-plus year-old van that he claims was given to him after he pulled it back up from the edge of a cliff. He got this van after crashing his old Crown Vic that he had sprayed “Cop Killer” on the back of. The Crown Vic was the car he drove when his uncle was the Chief of Police.
Now, I’ve only covered about a quarter of what he’s told me as I’m lazy and will cover more of it as the days go on and I undoubtedly learn more about his legendary existence.
I’ll just leave you all with my favorite thing he’s said so far:
Cartman: You know, if a car hood shuts on your arm, it will break it like a twig.
Me: Really?
Cartman: Yeah, my arms been smashed by a hood four times.
Me: You’ve broken your arm four times?
Cartman: Nope.
What a wonderful thing to awaken to

Yes! Hahahaha!! More! More!
But seriously, years ago I worked with a man who was also a compulsive liar and sounds so similar to your co-worker. Oh god, I would egg him on and catch him in lies every single day. I think he lied so people would like him, but like this Cartman guy… well everyone can see riiiight through it and they just become the butt of jokes. 🙄

I worked with a guy like this once. We used to make up stuff he’d said and play it back on him. “Hey Man. Pete here says you’re a trained killer”, ‘No I said lethal weapon’ “Right! Is that true? You’re a classified lethal weapon?”
He always said yes.
