So many stories have been shared online by many people, mostly on Twitter and Facebook. And while embellishing details for the dramatic effect might be entertaining, those who tell stories that are wholly false are asked to have their lies exposed.

But then, why do we judge those who spread incorrect information online so quickly? Typically, we are unable to prove that these events didn't occur, and it is irrelevant anyhow.

People frequently exaggerate the truth, whether it's a stand-up comedian who does so to make their act funnier or a parent who tells their child that Santa Claus won't be coming at all if they don't go to bed right now. Is it truly the responsibility of Twitter and Facebook users to keep our internet free of lies when fake news is so prevalent online already? 

Perhaps we do become irritated when we see that the tacit agreement to be truthful has been broken. We cannot begin to turn against one another by arguing that our 2-year-olds can bring us breakfast in bed because we are the glue that ties social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook together.

When it comes to giving out Didn't Happen of the Year Awards, I suppose we can turn against one another, but that's more of an accountability issue. The most cringe-inducing lies that individuals have discovered online are shared on the page, so here are the funniest lies we’ve discovered on their page below.
