Motorcycle Coworker Lies for Months

I worked as a security guard working the 12-8am shift. I was paired with another guy, we worked every shift together from October til June. Just me and him, with nothing to fill the time other than watching cameras and the odd walk around the premises. So every god damn shift, this guy would talk about motorcycles for the full 8 hours. Different makes, models, paint-jobs, aftermarket parts, mechanical things, etc. His whole fucking life was motorcycles. He had all kinds of tales and anecdotes from his rides, run-ins with the police, on and on and on. Springtime rolls around and he's still taking the bus to work. I'm like, where's your bike? "Oh it's in the shop". Next week, "still waiting for XYZ part". Excuse after excuse for weeks. Turns out, this guy never owned a fucking motorcycle. He rode his friends brothers motorcycle ONCE the year prior and had supposedly planned on buying his own. I had politely listened to this guy bullshit about motorcycles for LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF HOURS at this point, and it was all lies. When I found out, I went berserk. I refused to work another shift with him. My boss wouldn't accommodate that, so I quit. The whole situation fucked me up. I am basically anti-social now, especially at work. Every job since I've been the "weird loner guy" who won't engage in chit-chat or participate in social events. It's been years since this happened and it still pisses me off thinking about it.

Позже выяснилось, что напарник никогда не владел мотоциклом и однажды лишь прокатился на чужом, из-за чего рассказчик пришёл в ярость, уволился и стал избегать общения на работе. Мем используют как абсурдную историю о лжи, раздражающем коллеге и непропорционально сильной реакции на бытовой обман. EN: A screenshot of a long story from a security guard who spent months listening to his coworker talk about motorcycles for hours. It later turned out that the coworker had never owned a motorcycle and had only ridden someone else’s once, causing the narrator to go berserk, quit, and become socially withdrawn at work. The meme is used as an absurd story about lying, an annoying coworker, and an disproportionately intense reaction to an ordinary deception.
