What have you lied about today?

    It's common knowledge that everyone lies every day, a number of times a day. I find it quite frustrating in work life when you know someone i lying to you but can't really challenge them on it.

    I don't lie much outside of work, and in work I'd like to look at it more like an excuse than a lie.

    I was on an early lunch today and despite having a perfectly good sandwich in the fridge here at work, I decided, with it being the last day in work, to go in to town and endulge in a big dirty McDonalds. It was lovely. However, on the way back to work, herself gave me a ring... I blatantly lied down the phone and told her i was out having a smoke after my sandwich. When in fact, it is still sitting in the fridge and will be thrown in the bin by the cleaners at the weekend. I lied because i am ashamed for eating in McDonalds.

    What have you lied about today?

    As long as you dont start believing your own lies ,then your in trouble .

    If we all told the truth than most of us would be out of jobs ,home realtionships etc cuz somtime there is not enough time to explain your train of thought , hence the white lie (or you just want to get away form some annoying boring creep )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,322 ✭✭✭bennyx_o


    I can't remember lieing today, but theres plenty of time yet :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb

    That's very true :) I know a guy who you'd probably call a compulsive liar ... his basic day to day is based around one lie after another .. annoying f*cker he is too.

    Many of us have been there, but when I was there I rarely ever lied to customers.

    Has things changed that there's now a requirement to?

    Yeah and there are a lot of the ****ers around ,ya know the ones like ie ' i'm never wrong ' .

    Always amazes me how some people will lie and say anything to get of the hook .Politicians slappers (like heather Mccartney ) and serial killers spring to mind :D

    Told a rather serious one today. A women and this dude were talking to one another trying to hit it off, now this gurl was out of this world and my eyeballs were haning out, so when the guy went to the toilet i walked up to her and asked her if she knew that chap. She said no, why. I told her that i knew him and that he was a retard and started saying some things about him, she looked at me with her eyebrows raised and a serious look on her face and i backed off, i know when i'm pushing it.

    I love girls Lawls

    I bet you're right in there!
    I lie
