Yup.

I personally wrote that I had experience in a programming language I didn't, back for an interview in 2010. I got called out on it too..!

My wife has run a couple of marathons and her friend called her up to hear about her experience, because she was putting it on her resume for a job. She got it (probably not because of her running experience).

I had a recruiter do that to me when I was 19 or so. Said I had some amount of c++ experience. Somehow the interviewers picked up on the fact that I did not.
