[QUOTE="Star*, post: 156762, member: 4964"] Any suggestions? ARE YOU KIDDING??????? PFT..... I will start by telling you that I shared a house with a young man after I left x who was self-medicating schizophrenic and a known pathological liar. The stories he has told so often he now believes there is some truth to them. The best thing to do is stay away from him. People like that are dangerous. Fun to be sarcastic with - but a co-morbid with pathological liars can be vindictive behavior. My best advice if you have to deal with him is to not argue, but don't be overly friendly either. Make your replies worded so you are calling him to back up his outrageous stories. If he comes in and says "I have never been here before." You say "Wel then we need to take your picture and write the date on it." - then post it so when he comes in and says "I've never been here before." You say "I was sure this was you." and hand him the picture. If he denies it was him - take another picture, write his name on it with the date. Save it for the next time. When THAT story stops - you are actually pointing to his picture EACH and every time he comes in saying "Okay HE (tap picture) is back. If he says he pays his bills on time - you say... "Yes you do, all customers who pay in cash pay on time." If he states he went to West Point - you say... "I'd love to see your picture in uniform. What year did you graduate? Bring in your year book." If he says he doesn't have one - get the year - find a year book and next time he comes in tell him to point himself out." If he can't or comes up with he must have been sick that day. You say "Until you bring me your WP yearbook I don't want to hear it I want proof." When he says he's a sports pro and your boss should hire him? Ask him why he quit. Can you see his team photo? You say "Well our boss is the kind of person who likes pictures with his stories -so you bring me proof that you are a sports pro and I'll give your name to the owner for consideration. Until I have proof I'm not discussing the matter with you." All the things above you are doing is putting the ball back in his court. I have been screamed at to the top of his lungs about I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING to you - and THAT is how I knew I got to him. Each time he couldn't prove it - believe it or not - I was instructed NOT to get sarcastic with him, but call him on it - and when he knowingly couldn't prove that statement after a realtively decent amount of time - then you simply state "I'm sorry, until I have proof I don't care to hear your story." That's polite, it puts the ball back in their court and until they can prove you wrong - you have told them you don't want to hear it. But if you HAVE to be sarcastic I would go with Abbey's Queen of England routine - ROFLMAO OH yeah Abbey - Well I know Tony Blair....you know of the Blair witch project. If he states he is a sports pro - you say... "Is that what you majored in at West Point?" "What professional teams did you play on I'd like to get your card." "What was your coaches name? I think I can find him on the internet and call him for you." [/QUOTE]
