In the age of TikTok trends and Instagram models, it feels like social media clout is the most valuable currency of them all. However, not everyone has the power to make themselves go viral, and many posers are left to fabricate stories about their lives to appear more interesting. 

Take one holistic healing chiropractor, who shared photos of himself allegedly saving the life of a heart attack victim on a plane, using a "spinal adjustment." In his post, he claims that a team of "5 MDs, 2 EMTs, 1 Nurse" were unable to help the man and that the plane's pilot was considering an emergency landing. Then he stepped in and removed "the interference in his nervous system." Everyone clapped. 

Yeah, Alex, I'll take things that didn't happen for 1,000, please. 

Check out his phony story, and 24 others from people stretching their lies thin in search of clout.
