liftzilla

[lapetitesiren]

Aibu to be a bit dissapointed that having followed several hundred posts about an ongoing situation the thread has been pulled before the final outcome? I suppose it was just nosiness on my part but i feel as if the bbc has pulled the final episode of the missing.....i can't be the only one.

I got deleted on the first thread (I think) for observing that it's the point at which I think "surely no one would really behave like that," that I invariably find out it's a troll.

I sensed that it had become rather drawn out [OP enjoying the thrill?] when OP was was given a week off [on a Saturday by the Union official, rather than the actual management] as the company was so fab, the continuing barrage of texts and calls and then Lifty being 'temporarily dismissed' .

Oh dear.

Conquistador, I'm a worse idiot I took it as genuine until I read this thread, after reading lyingwitchinthewardrobed synopsis, I'm beginning to think I'm very gullible. I think I chose to believe the thread because to me it's more logical that this could've happened rather than believing someone could have made all this up, sure you'd have to have serious issues to go that far?

Oh no, it did seem a bit far fetched, nobody çoukd be that thick skinned surely. The second thread was a bit suspect.

It's so annoying when you get sucked in by something.

My favourite bit was when the whole of the working day/staff/managers/meeting time was taken up by meetings about this woman ringing OP for a lift.

She should've just left it at the first thread. Although slightly improbable, it was at least in the realms of 'coud have happened.'

She RUINED it by having a second thread. It was like The Return To Oz. Totally unnecessary after a satisfying conclusion to the first instalment.

Baow

I enjoyed it . I think the first thread had a ring of truth about it, but as it went on, the involvement of management, and the info being given freely to the OP, by the management, about another staff member, and the week off began to seem too good to be true.

It might well have started off real then strayed into the realms of fantasy when the thread unexpectedly drew so much interest.

I felt Return to Oz was a worthwhile contribution to the Oz cannon. Liftzilla Thread 2 was more like LOTR. It went on and on and on in further instalments and just when you think its over, LZ asks again if she can have a lift.

Can the OP at least come back and update us on what would have happened if the thread had been real please? clutching at closure straws

God I'm such an idiot. Totally got sucked in to that one!

Shame, I was really looking forward to Lifty being strapped to the roof rack of the Smart car and then being tragically killed in a collision with the tailgating Muppet on the other thread.

Whenever threads are too juicy and unbelievable, I get suspicious!

I told DP about this one...he reckons liftzilla is real but the unexpected traffic on the thread got the OP frothing and she started to make stuff up to keep it going. Predicted real story 1) cheeky mare from work has a lift every day and stops paying petrol 2) op says am not taking you anymore 3) cheeky mare says OK. the end.

Mind you I always had suspicions that Lifty was shagging the DH. After all she did keep calling him...

Her spelling was appalling!

So was her knowledge of employment law!

I was waiting for the bit when it would say
''and they all lived happily ever after''

I would like to hope it was rooted in an episode which did happen, i.e OP being mithered for lift despite lack of petrol money, but I think she got carried away by the amount of interest she got.

Unless it was ALL bollocks from the start. Which would be sad.

Is this the one where there was a group of lift sharers and then shifts were changed and it was just OP and the non driver? If so I totally believed that (I didn't see the second thread on it though)

It was obvious that it was complete bollocks when the OP started the second thread. Total drama llama.
I was going to say as much but posters who challenged the integrity of the OP had their posts deleted so I didn't bother.

I think it started out well, but by the second thread had totally jumped the shark.

Daft, isn't it, Concordial. People can write the most outrageous tosh and keep it going for days but the slightest hint from someone suggesting all is not what it seems get deleted. I think that some of those supporting (and encouraging) the liftzilla op have some very odd ideas how businesses are run.
