Embarrassment is a common occurrence for me. I’m frankly just used to it at this point.

But sometimes it’s nice to remind myself that a lot of other people are way more embarrassing than I am. The subreddit r/quityourbullshit is the perfect outlet for this. Here are 14 people who told humiliating lies, and were caught red-handed:

1.This self-proclaimed “alpha male” who bragged about “hanging out” with Tim Robbins, but was quickly corrected by Tim himself:

2.This anti-vaxxer who made a completely incorrect statement about a study, and was called out by the scientist who wrote it:
