as it says anyone have any funny stories that u may have told someone u know that they have believed, for example, the other week i convinced my GF that u can catch illnesses via mobile phone.
it started out that i was ill and she kept calling when i was gettign my "get better sleeps" so i told her that i'd recently seen on the web that since germs are airborne and really tiny cells that they can be picked up and carried along the phone signals radiation to the other person phone, thus passing the germs onto the receiver, so for the week i was ill and called she was covering the phones speaker/receiver while talkign to me so as not to catch my bug.
another time she asked me if unicorns was proper animals or mythical creatures so i convinced her that unicorns were actually creatures and just became extinct some 200 yrs ago like the Dodo was just 100 yrs ago or so.
the phone thing was very fun and unbeknowing to me she also told her friends at work as well as her family and they even believed it too so now there is abotu 15-20 peopel all beliving u can get colds via mobiules lol

I work in a bar. I convince people all the time that their ID is no good. Which isn't really that big of a deal to do but it sure is funny when they think they're in trouble and I'm going to call the cops.
Also, I **** with our regular customers on a daily basis. For regulars that like to drink a lot we'll make small strong drinks, some of them appreciate not being filled up with soda. Well one day we were out of rocks glasses and they gave a regular a drink in a tall glass. He asked me why. I told him it was because of his behavior, we wanted to slow down his drinking because he gets out of hand. Then I convinced him that we have a bulletin board in the back that has pics of all the "tall glass" people who drink too much. I convinced him he was the first person on it since his last name starts with B. He asked when we took his picture and I said, "you don't remember?" He look perplexed and I explained it was probably because he was really drunk which is why he's on the board in the first place. Despite nobody else knowing the story, they immediately confirmed what I had said based on the fact that they could tell he was being ****** with. He got really self consious. He still thinks there is this bulletin board in the back and he always asks to see it or asks what he did to get on it. Good times.

I just got back today (from a few weeks of business travel internationally). My travel came up at the last minute, and I didn't have a passport, so I made a day trip to XXXXXX City to the customs office to get my passport. I had an appointment, but when I got there, I saw that an appointment only means that they let you wait in line, and I didn't want to spent 10 hours sitting in the waiting room.
Step 1: I called my neighbor and explained to him that he was the Undersecretary of Defense, and that if I called him back, he needed to explain to whomever I put him on the phone with that I had urgent business in Washington D.C. in a few hours and needed to get processed through quickly.
Step 2: I got up to the window to get my name checked off the waiting list. It was 0930. I explained that I had a flight at 11:30 to get me to Washington D.C. for a 1:30 meeting at the White House (my travel was to the middle east, and I won't go into details, but you could call me a MoD). As I'm explaining the story, the girl's eyes get bigger and bigger, and she tells me that she'll go get her manager.
Step 3: I get called into the little room. I present my credentials while I'm fictitiously talking on my cell phone, confirming that my meeting is in the pentagon and getting a room number. The manager waits while I explain to the nonexistent person on the phone that the passport office is taking care of me, and I'll teleconference in if I'm late. The manager at the passport office handwalks my paperwork through every station in a matter of minutes (she was also kind of cute). I explained that I'm hiring smart people left and right and tell her to send me an e-mail with her resume (*shrug* Maybe I'll hire her).
Step 4: Having gotten my passport in 45 minutes, the security detail offers to call a police cruiser to get me to the airport in time for my mythical flight to D.C., but I explained that I had a police escort waiting outside. They wish me the best of luck in the middle east, and I cackle my way out of the building.
*A bit of backstory on persuasion*
You need a certified copy of your birth certificate to get a passport in the United States. I didn't have one, and the absolute fastest way to get one is via vitalchek.com (or vitalcheck?). I didn't have 3-5 days processing time to spare and an additional two weeks, so I called up the Office of Vital Records, and got elevated to a supervisor -- to whom I explained (rather convincingly!) that it was a matter of international security and vital to the future relationship between the United States and our coalition partners in the middle east that I get my birth certificate as quickly as possible. The manager was, of course, dubious, so I faxed in an official request on a DoD letterhead, and sent an e-mail to her explaining the critical nature of my travel, and how this little additional was an integral part of global security, and how the effort that she was putting forth was helping keep her family, neighbors and loved ones safe. *yeah yeah...wade through it*
They overnighted my birth certificate to me at their own expense. =)
How's that for a story?

I love stories like that. Also, it's amazing what you can convince people of if you're dressed like James Bond (your results may vary depending on your ability to bull****). Also, access to exclusive places is a pair of coveralls and a toolbox away. Wear the tux underneath and you can get into pretty much any private party at a hotel or convention center. When you make people feel inferior, or as if they are going to get in trouble, they respond by letting you walk all over them.

Up here in Scotland attempting to persuade tourists that a haggis is a real animal that lives in the highlands is a national pastime.
Its amazing the amount of people who will believe that a 3 legged weasel sized creature that always runs clockwise around hill (because one leg is shorter than the other) exists.

Working at a shop, there is another young lad who works on the till on saturday mornings. This week, we're sending him across the road to the pub for a left-handed screwdriver.
On radio 1 here in the UK, they were discussing things like 'glass hammers' etc etc on Chris Moyles' show. hehe.

That the Half-Life Series was based on a book by Stephen King which never sold many copies and my friend trawling the USA for it, think it was a collectable... (I told it was just me telling fibs after he said he was going back and spending half of his years wages on a trip to hunt it down :/)

I convinced my ex that Ozzy Osbourne's name was Ozolithule Osbourne, and that he was actually from Indiana.
Might not be funny to y'all, but I still find it hilarious.
