I've known someone for many years who does it to a perverted amount and we (we = the group of us who tend to congregate often) usually just laugh it off and make fun of him for it, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone when it begins to get irritating, if not intolerable. Yet, when this is pointed out to him ("Why do you always exaggerate this? You weren't even there!"), he just laughs it off like we're joking around him (no, it's a subtle slap-in-the-face to get your act together). Because of this, his stories or descriptions of events or people is taken very lightly considering it's difficult to determine exactly what is truth and what is bullshit.
