• From pigeons stealing homework to destructive imaginary friends, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact
some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the dumbest lies we’ve ever tried
getting away with. I’m Melissa and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by PhantomFeline Derek
Back when he lived with his grandma, Derek tried passing a binder off as a laptop. He
had his laptop taken away as punishment one time. Since he only had online friends, he
felt very depressed and lonely without it. Derek knew where his grandma kept his laptop,
so after she went to bed one night, he snuck in her room and took it. He got out his box
of crayons and drew his laptop’s logo on his binder, then coloured it black. Derek
prayed that his grandma wouldn’t look, but wasn’t worried if she just stole a quick
glance. Next, he filled the binder with books and used his hands to weigh both. After matching
the laptop’s weight with the binder’s, he put the binder in the case and put it back
where he got it. It worked for a week until his grandma found out the truth by looking
in the case. He got in big trouble, though his grandma couldn’t help but laugh and
even admitted at how clever he was to have done what he did.
Number 9 was submitted by Litup_Galaxy247 Doopie
When she was little, Doopie never brought her homework to school. The thing was, none
of her teachers ever asked her about it… until one day. When she was asked where her
homework was, Doopie answered, “I-I was walking to school when a pigeon riding a dog
ran towards me at full speed! It stopped in front of me and snatched my homework before
taking off!” Her teacher, along with everyone in the classroom, burst into laughter. Of
course, Doopie didn’t get away with it, although the teacher told her that he wouldn’t
call her parents. He said that the reason was because she thought really hard on that
lie.
Number 8 was submitted by Wild0MGGirl Mimi
Mimi and her friends went to an amusement park one time. Even though she hated water
rides, her friends insisted that she go on one with them. Mimi lied by saying she was
on her period, but her friends just so happened to bring tampons. So, after going to the bathroom
and pretending to put one in, Mimi went on the water ride with her friends. But when
they got off, her friends got suspicious because Mimi wasn’t showing any symptoms. That was
when she admitted that she had lied to them. Her friends decided to punish her by saying
she couldn’t show any emotion on any other ride they went on. If she did, then she would
go back on the water ride each time by herself. That day, Mimi ended up getting drenched about
ten times.
Number 7 was submitted by Dr_doooo Nixxiom
When Nixxiom was eight, his parents gave him some vegetables. He hated vegetables, so he
asked them if he could eat outside on the front porch. After a long time of begging
them, they finally let him go out on the front porch to eat. As soon as he stepped outside,
Nixxiom threw the vegetables into the street and walked back into the house. His parents
were suspicious that he ate his vegetables so fast, so he said, “There was a giant
freaking bird that flew down and tried to take my food. I tried fighting it off, but
it got my vegetables and flew away.” Before his parents could say a thing, he ran up to
his room, slammed the door, and went to bed. Nixxiom was grounded for two weeks.
Number 6 was submitted by M3me_m4st3r_a1pha Grgak
Grgak once got his friend, Spinalpalm, to believe that a monster would attack their
school the next day. So, Spinalpalm stuck kitchen knives to his shoes and combined two
other knives to make one large one. He also had a dagger, which he hid with his other
weapons but his parents found them. They found everything but the dagger. Spinalpalm told
them that it wasn’t him, even though it was clear that it was. The next day, Spinalpalm
went to school and showed Grgak his dagger. Grgak freaked out and told everyone. When
Spinalpalm was confronted, he said that Grgak randomly gave it to him and forced him to
carry it around. Before being confronted, he managed to toss the dagger in a nearby
bush. For all he knows, it’s still there.
Number 5 was submitted by LadyDeath1138 Ladybot
For some reason, in third grade, Ladybot took the scissors from out of her desk and cut
a snippet of her hair. The next day, the teacher singled Ladybot out because she had a habit
of not keeping her desk clean. So, she began taking things out of her desk. When she found
the snippet of hair, the teacher asked Ladybot if she had cut her hair. She told her that
it wasn’t hers, so the teacher held the snippet up to the heads of all the girls in
class, trying to get a match. Ladybot’s hair was different in colour from the hair
of the other girls in her class, so none of them could match. She then told the teacher
that it was a snippet of hair from her dog, which was all she had to remember him by.
Ladybot didn’t get away with the lie.
Number 4 was submitted by Neetchu Danger Dolan
When Dolan and his brother, Zaraganba, were little, they had a boundary their mom had
set to keep them close to their house whenever they played outside. Dolan and Zaraganba always
left the boundary and never got caught. One day, they left the boundary and went to the
park which had a lake. There, they found a little boat. Zaraganba jumped inside and went
out toward the middle of the lake. Dolan was too scared to go out into the lake, so he
stayed around the water’s edge. About ten minutes later, a guy who usually bullied them
showed up and tipped over the boat, leaving Zaraganba soaked. Since it was obvious that
they had gone beyond their boundary, Dolan told their mom that a bully dragged Zaraganba
to the lake and threw him into the water. Their mom believed the lie and stormed to
the bully’s house where she told his mom. When the bully explained what really happened,
Dolan got grounded for a month. Even to this day, Dolan can’t believe that he came up
with such a stupid lie and that his mom actually believed it.
Number 3 was submitted by harley18quinn Froggy
When they were little, Froggy and her brothers would eat dinner at the living room table.
One night, after their mom gave them dinner, she asked her brothers to do something for
her. That meant Froggy was alone in the living room. After a while, she noticed that her
ball was under the table and tried to get it. Putting her plate on the floor, she climbed
under the table to get the ball. Just then, Froggy hit her head on the table, flipping
it over and sending her brothers’ plates to the floor. Her family rushed into the living
room, confused. They found her sitting on the floor in shock, holding her ball. When
her mom asked what happened, Froggy felt so bad that she yelled, “My imaginary friend
Danny did it! I tried to stop him, but he knocked over the table!” She was still punished,
but as Froggy got older it became a running joke. Every time she made a mistake, someone
always said, “That damn Danny did it again!”
Number 2 was submitted by TheLittleNugDemon Hellbent
When they were nine, Hellbent and his brother saw some cookies in the kitchen and began
eating them. Their mom came in and said that she was going to bring those cookies to a
party she was going to that night. Hellbent said, “We’re aliens from another planet,
and we are here to remove all cookies from Earth.” Their mom still punished them by
forcing them to bake more cookies while wearing girly cooking aprons. To make matters worse,
their mom took a picture of them and posted it on social media. Hellbent ended up not
eating cookies for two whole months.
Number 1 was submitted by I_am_very_tired123 Cidius
In third grade, Cid convinced several people at his school that he had witnessed a murder.
At the time, he didn’t even know what ‘murder’ meant. As the rumour spread, it began to get
mistranslated. It went from, ‘Cid witnessed a murder’ to ‘Cid committed murder.’
Fortunately, it was his last year at that school, and he moved away shortly after he
completed third grade. On his last day, the principal said over the intercom that it was
all a lie, and that if anyone else said anything about it, they would get expelled. Cid ended
up getting twelve people expelled that day.
