13 Terrible Stories That Definitely Didn't Happen

Lying online is a hobby for some, but those who do it for fun usually at least do it well. Life is boring sometimes, and crafting up extravagant stories to make it seem like your life is a lot more interesting can be thrilling. When done poorly, though, all it does is make you look worse and cause a widespread cringe amongst those who read it and just know it's all a lie. There's so many genres of fake social media stories. Some of the common ones include things a child definitely didn't say, stories that end in everyone clapping, and insanity-filled phenomenons in an attempt to change people's views and opinions.

Stories created purely for attention regularly cause the sarcastic verbal reaction of a snark-filled "that happened." So, Reddit users band together to screenshot and collect heinous online lies into one subreddit, /r/thathappened. From Facebook moms to TikTok teens, no one's lies are safe.

Please be satire.

She's also clinically insane.

Why would you even brag about this?
