Pathological Liars

Some people seem to lead complete fantasy lives with lies stacked on lies stacked on more lies. Tell us about the ones you've met.
BTW, if any of you want to admit to making up all your QOTW stories, now would be a good time to do it.

Thick Office Liar
My company is blessed with the presence of 'thick office liar' who is:
A) Crap at her job
B) A bit dim
C) A terrible liar
Some examples:
She bangs on about not needing to go to the gym or play any sport because she always walks to work and back, 20-25 minutes each way. Fair enough, however on the frequent occasions that she's more than 10 minutes late for work (2 or 3 times a week), she'll phone in to say that she's been waiting for a bus for ages and none have turned up.
Another time she rang in to say that halfway to the office she left her mobile at home and was going back to get it. Her mobile number was, of course, displayed on the phone here when she rang from it.
Having spent the past year applying for countless jobs and failing to get them (IT Managers know everything you dimwit), she constantly denies that she is looking for a job, despite claiming in her appraisal that she'd been offered a much better paid position but decided to stay with us to develop the role. On one occasion her manager, siting in the same office as her, noticed various job websites open on her desk, and suggested work hours were not best used looking for other positions. The reply came 'I'm not looking for jobs, they're pop-up spam, I'll close them now, and get on with counting paperclips' or whatever it is she does. Half an hour later she piped up 'What does OTE stand for?'
Pathological liar, or incredibly stupid?
