A MAN has somehow got the idea that it is normal to lie about things to get what you want in life.
Sales executive Martin Bishop has absorbed too much competitive bullshit from programmes like The Apprentice and now thinks massive porkies are a valid way of getting ahead.
Co-worker Emma Bradford said: “Martin proudly told me that he just makes up stuff on his CV. Apparently he didn’t work for MI5 in 2010, he was deputy manager of a Chicken Cottage.
“What really left me gobsmacked was that he does it in his personal life. He told a woman he went on a date with he earns ‘a cool 300k’. If he did surely he’d move out from his mum’s?
“Does everyone do this now? I think it’s about time I increased my employability by adding a few PhDs and maybe claiming I invented the iPhone.”
Bishop said: “I see nothing wrong with telling people I used to be an RAF fighter pilot or ran a successful wine importing business. It just gives me a competitive edge over people who tell the truth.
“It can lead to the odd problem, like when when my ex poured boiling coffee in my lap because she’d been on my Facebook page and there weren’t any pictures of my helicopter.”
