Yeah,
I was a job reference for one of my friends that I ran track with in college. So the guy that is checking his references calls me and asks how I know him. I say "we did track together". Then the guy proceeds to tell me that he ran track in HS and was a sprinter..."yeah, I was decent, sprinter, but I should have done that longer stuff like you...I ran the mile twice in HS and broke 4 minutes both times...then I never ran it again"...I'm like, "I think you mean 5 minutes or even 6"..."it takes a lot to break 4 minutes and it's not something you ever did...I'm sure". He says, "Oh yes I did, you don't have to beleive me blah blah blah...and I ran 9.1 in the 100 m too". I say... "really, so you shattered the 100m world record in HS and it was never recorded....dude, you are so full of shit!" Needless to say, the job sucked and I told my friend not to work with captain dip-shit anyway.
A kid once told me that his dad out-raced Pre all the time all through HS. I just said,"buddy, your dad's full of shit".
I've heard the 3 minute mile story multiple times. These are the people that think 2 laps = 1 mile
