[u/Lies_About_Expertise]

As a veteran Redditor of 8 years now, I've seen a lot of novelty accounts. I read through some of u/Lies_About_Expertise's submissions, and he's not very funny. All he does is make up a profession, maybe throw in some dubious facts, and write an anecdote about it.

As a professional actor of 13 years, I feel as though he is ruining the credibility of legitimate experts like myself. It's very similar to what happened to me a few months ago when I was being recruited for an upcoming movie and some random asshole guy pretending to be an agent told the director I was a shitty actor, and I ended up having to sleep with the director to get the role.

Ahhhh!

[u/Thefriendlyfaceplant → u/Lies_About_Expertise]

We just went meta.

[u/PainLing]

You just got Karma by posting the funny comments of another Redditor...well played sir.

[u/[deleted] → u/PainLing]

I just wanted to make the rest of the world see his brilliance. And I think I'm becoming powerhungry.

[u/Platypus_agm]

After reading all of his comments, I calculated that the absolute minimum number of years he has been working is about 461 years.

[u/BlazedAndConfused → u/Platypus_agm]

He must have one hell of an IRA

[u/AREYOUSauRuS → u/Platypus_agm]

the fact that every post has a "I've been <job/profession> for <#> years" in each post is kinda what makes it hilarious.

[u/[deleted] → u/Platypus_agm]

He should do an AMA.

[u/blearghhh_two]

The best meta-humour is where he's an HR person who advises people to make up a novelty Reddit account to let off stress.

I laughed and laughed...

"While I've never tried it myself, I've heard making a novelty account can really serve to add a whole new level of enjoyment to your Redditing experience."

pure gold :p

[u/Verikman2]

Really too bad that PhD_in_Everything doesn't post a whole lot anymore, that account was pure gold.

[u/RationalMonkey]

I'm genuinely concerned that I'm going to eventually forget where I read this stuff and start quoting it as actual fact :/

[u/lies_about_ethnicity]

I think I know this man for real. We're both from the same small Peruvian villiage.

These are a lot more fun when you don't already know about the username and discover it after reading one of their comments. Thanks OP.

I wish I had his expertise...

[u/GrooGrux]

I have a hard enough time finding time to comment on posts for real. Where do people like this get all of their time?

[u/JamOutWifYerClamOut]

I was thinking the same thing. I'm curious as to what he/she ACTUALLY does as a profession.

[u/[deleted]]

I've been a Redditor for almost 35 years now. I can confirm that Lies_About is a little over 500 years old.

[u/BAM225]

For a Russian woman to throw her children out a window because she got fed up with them isn't too surprising to me, then again I've gotten pretty jaded over the years.
