I actually had some doubts when I heard it. I don't really know Halie, but I do know that very VERY few women work in construction. A lot of things seemed kind of extra-ordinary and rather convenient that they all coincided.
I'll still give this person the benefit of a doubt that my original doubts were unjustified. That's the worst thing about pulling a prank like this, if it is a prank, nobody wants to call you on it for risk of making themselves into the biggest assholes on earth if it was true.
If it is a prank, I'm sure you have some easy way of reconciling the fact that you've betrayed so many peoples' trust with your weak, self-centered sense of reality. So I suggest anyone who did trust this person and believe them to try not to become angry about it. You'd only be giving them another laugh.
