We have all exaggerated a little on social media whether that's using an enhancing filter or bragging about a mediocre meal.
However, when it comes to tall tales on Twitter and fibs on Facebook these users really take the biscuit.
Imgur user mwangibabu recently shared a list of some of the most hilarious lies that have been caught out online.
From bragging about things that never happened to sharing photos that they definitely didn't take, these social media fiends have no shame when it comes to bending the truth.
Nicking pictures appeared to be the easiest way liars were caught out by their followers online.
Outside Magazine shared a photo of a topless man taking part in a sporting event.
They accompanied the image with: "There's no better way to get in shape than to prepare for a triathlon. (This guy'll tell you)".
Spotting the image of himself Rich Froning was quick to comment: "I'm that guy and no I won't tell you that."
Following a snow sports holiday one Facebook user shared a photo from his trip.
He commented: "Just got back from Colorado. Had an amazing trip and shredded the mountains every day. Attempted my first Egg Flip (pictured)! Didn't land it, but the pic my buddy took still looks amazing. Can't wait to go back".
But an eagle eyed friend soon pulled them up on their fake image. They commented: "That photo is from a 2012 calendar and is - literally- the first photo on a google image search. so full of s***".
Other people clearly needed to put a little more thought into their lies when small details caused them to slip up.
One 'kind hearted' user shared a photo where they appeared to leave their server with a very generous tip of £100.
They captioned the photo: "Christmas isn't about overpriced gifts and bragging rights to what you bought for who.
"It's about being a good person and helping out your fellow person. Don't lose sight of the real deal."
However, one of the man's Facebook friends picked up on something fishy about the man's generous nature.
They commented: "Make sure you put that on the copy the server takes. You wrote that on the guest copy."
Several fibbers clearly forgot that who would be reading some of their far from true Facebook statuses.
Obviously hoping for some sympathy one woman wrote: "I never knew how poor my family was while I was growing up until I started dating a guy from the surburbs. Depressing, but enlightening."
However, the first comment happened to came in from her mum who replied: "lets see... food on the table, a huge yard, a bike, a swing set, birthday parties, air conditioning, hear, toys... must have been rough".
Another party loving phony wrote: "Music is pumpin, drinks are flowin and I guess I'm looking fine since I've been getting the VIP treatment since I walked through the door. Too bad for the other girls trying to get through HA! you were rigt this club is dope!"
However she was likely left red faced when her cohabitant pointed out that this wasn't really the case.
They wrote: "What the? You;ve been in your pjs, drinking natty ice and watching modern family in bed for hours. We just had a conversation about toilet paper. Was I f****** dreaming?"
One wannabe vegan shared a status about their choice to abandon meat and dairy products claiming to be 'so proud' of their announcement.
But one friend wrote: "You weren't about that life today when you got your Chipotle bowl HALF CHICKEN HALF STEAK LOL".
Looking for an excuse to post a selfie also saw other users left red faced when their reasons for posting seemed a little far from the truth.
Sharing a selfie on Instagram one woman wrote: "I really didn't mean to post this smh but whatever goodmorning (sic)".
But one of her followers points out: "Theres like a 5 step process to post a pic on IG how u didnt mean to post it (sic)".
One teen shared a picture of himself covering his eyes writing: "Sun was in my eyes lol but my new favourite picture."
A friend was quick to comment: "If the sun was in ur eyes then why is ur shadow in front of u".
Attempting to defend himself the teen responds: "You see your shadow when it's sunny outside dumba**... Stay in school."
But the savvy social media user is persistent pointing out: "If the sun was in front of you your shadow would be behind you".
