Do you lie?

I once told a girl that my dad owned Walkers crisps. I pointed at the crisps behind the bar and said "see them, I own them."

She was quite hot and my mate was hovering around and asked me to introduce him, so I said "he puts them in the bags"

He wasn't happy.

This. Just to different levels. Everyone lies. People are kidding themselves if they don't think they do.

I would say I had a problem of lying to my wife about purchases, or hiding things. It was a hard habit to break. The weird thing is, I can't stand people who lie. So....bit of salt in my eyes there on that one.

If it's a white lie that makes a situation easier to deal with or cause less offence then I'll do it.

For example I'm having catch up drinks with a few work friends I've not seen in a while due to working from home. One of them usually drinks too much and becomes a liability. This often falls to me seemingly because we used to stay out longer than the others into the small hours whereas the rest of the people are more likely to bail early as they're a bit older. I just don't want to have to deal with that (she gets so drunk she wouldn't be able to get in anywhere) so I'll make up some excuse as to why I can't stay out for more than a couple and so we all basically end the night before she gets too drunk.

It seems easier than saying "I'd love to hang out more but you get too drunk and become a liability so I have to end up having to baby sit you and practically carry you to the train station".
 
i lie repeatedly on a daily basis otherwise i would cause people so much offence. people for the most part are idiotic **** wits who can barely function. being truthful with them would only cause harm to all parties.


edit: i also have an 8 inch penis.
 
Show me someone who says they have never lied and I will show you a liar.

For me the thing with lying is what my reasons for lying are. If it is a white lie to save embarrassment or avoid hurting someone, then sure.
