Magistr8 0 #26 May 28, 2003 I may have belived that if she could tell me what plane she jumped from or what altitude but you say "Oh just one they had there" and " I can't remember but it was high" yuur story looses credibility with me. If she made one jump that is cool we like people in the sky but to tell me you have coach ratings and a USPA licence but can't tell me anything about it, i'm sorry but I call LIAR LAIR.

Deuce 1 #27 May 28, 2003 Well, it's common enough that it's funny. John Whathisface from Saturday Night Live had that character that was compulsively lying. We've all had enough experience with liers that it's a joke that's funny to just about everyone. Wouldn't it be nice if you did a joke about a lier, and everybody said "I don't get it" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skygod7777 0 #30 May 28, 2003 that sucks, but kinda funny, you can start messing with them. make them think your lying too. i went to this gas station, and the lady just kinda asked us (me and my friend jonny) where we were headed, and we said we were on our way to rantoul for the convintion (and we were(and we said it was skyding already)). and the lady said, really, i skydive. jonny *with 3000 jumps* was like, cool how many do you have. the lady said she had like 500 jumps or something, and then asked us. i said about the same, and jonny said he had 3, tandems. it was funny, we just went on with it for about 15 min. until we had to leave. just something to do, turn around their lie on them. and you may think, well kelly how did you know, i asked her where she jumped, and she made up a place, and then didn't know what kind of gear she had. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #34 May 28, 2003 QuoteHow could they not expect to get busted? It may stem from a personality disorder. Some people don't have a tight grip on the here-and-now. They may also be socially underdeveloped; that is, they didn't learn how to socialize properly in their formative years, that they honestly think that although they are lying and know it, nobody else will be able to see through it. A simple way to put it is that they never learned to just be themselves. People who've been psychologically abused as children tend to exhibit such traits as adults to some degree, depending on the severity of psychological damage they suffered in their formative years. Yet to others, it's glaringly obvious that they are fibbing. However, as long as people like that aren't a hazard to themselves or others, they're generally marginalized and ignored. Such people have a way of ostracizing themselves. I've got a buddy who is a psych major and a skydiver (whom I've been trying to get to come over here from the Wreck).

FliegendeWolf 0 #37 May 28, 2003 Well, I guess it's a good thing they're lying about skydiving and not actually doing it then, because these are the same people who would take a FJC, make an AFFI, completely ignore the training and predetermined dive flow, and then blame and sue the DZO, AFF Instructors, Rig Manufacturer, car dealer who sold them the car that they drove to the dropzone, and the company that makes the breakfast cereal they ate in the morning when they get hurt or killed (after coming back from the dead to annoy the rest of us, of course) Not that I'm bitter A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islandcool 0 #45 May 28, 2003 One of my favorites was a kid who said he did a base jump tandem in mexico. The guy then said it was about 150' with a 15 second delay. After he left we were cracking up soo bad. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron 10 #48 May 28, 2003 I am sitting with a friend of mine at work... this cheeze dick that is hitting on her comes up. She is not interested in him, and has told him, but he nevr gets the clue...you know the type. Anyway a group of us are sitting in an office and this guy comes in, and squeezes between me and this girl. He starts talking to her, and she is mostly ingnoring him...then he starts to tell her that he is a skydiver. He tells her he has a bunch of jumps, and has been doing it for a year or so. She gets interested...And he starts going on about how cool his friends are that jump. She tells him that I skydive as well. (I had around 500 jumps). He starts trying to quiz ME about it. Trying to prove me wrong I guess....(Go fiqure a fake trying to oust a fake?). Anyway he asks me where I jump and I told him...I asked him where he jumps, and he says the same place. Funny I never remember seeing this guy before, and its kinda of a small DZ. He starts asking me if I know people out there...Funny thing is he only knows instructors....I finaly ask him how many jumps he has, and he tells me TWO!!!!! I find out he made two tandems a year ago....But he calls himself an experienced skydiver....I had to leave.

dreamsville 0 #49 May 28, 2003 They don't expect to get busted because, in some way, they lack street smarts. There are of course many hobbies and sports with special terminology, so most of us shut up or ask questions about something unfamiliar to us since: "better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". A buddy of mine is a Red Bull skydiver and swoop/demo guy with a bunch of base jumps (over 2000 total jumps). Someone once told him that he was a jumper, so my buddy asked him what size canopy he had. When he said "15 feet", my buddy said, "sorry, you're not a skydiver", but he did it politely. |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline.
