Lineman was a known liar, and he would often make up stories about being great to earn praise from other students.

When Lineman was asked about Jerry Kwon, he lied and said he beat him. He tried to collect dues from Jerry and in the process knocked over his bamboo flute. When Jerry told him to pick it up, he smashed his flute. Jerry got angry at Lineman but decided to leave him be.
