Lying to your optician or dentist?

Nocaster

"Well I only wear the contacts for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week..."

"Yes, I brush twice a day, and 3 times on Sundays....Can I put my pants back on now?"

I dont know why, but I just feel compelled to lie to these people!


Does everyone do this or is it just me?

They're professionals. They're probably just asking you to find out if you're a liar.

I think you have the wrong people looking at your teeth!


I used to always lie to the dentist then he or she would ask my Mam if she wouldn't mind leaving the room for a few minutes then ask me again. ;_;

Just point to where he touched you on the doll.

No Idea what age op is, but i'm 40, and I still tell those lies. That and " but I taxed it last week gard, the bloodty disc just hasn't come yet" edit-technology is catching up with the power of my lies, damn technology.

No dentist, there are no teeth in my bum.

I told my optician that I had only fallen asleep once or twice with my contacts in. She did not believe me one bit.

An optician gave an eye test to all the students when I was in primary school. I was short sighted but didn't want to wear glasses, so I told the optician that I already had glasses but that had they broken and I was waiting for a new pair.

I spent another 5 years in school not being able to see the blackboard. Stupid me :mad:
But...it did force me to read my schoolbooks

Get my lenses off the internet now. Save around 50%. Don't know whether to tell the truth or lie the next time i'm in to my opticians for an eye test if they ask me.

Your optometrist will always know if you're over-wearing your contact lenses. It's funny. People would blatently tell the lie, I'd look at their eyes and ask again. If they kept up the lie I'd say "You eyes are telling a different story". People were always amazed I could tell they were lying!

So why bother asking?

Cos maybe they're trying to prove a point that contacts shouldn't be worn for more than 6 or 7 hours..?

The point would be more memorably made if they just announced they knew.

The dentist will know....

Dentist: Do you floss?

You: Yes Mr Dentist every day

Dentist: Rubbish, your teeth are minging and so is you breath and whats this 3 day old bit of pork chop doing rotting between your molars?

Last time I had a contact-lens check I had a contact that was 0.75 stronger than my prescription in one eye. I over-wear my contacts every day and the optometrist said my eyes were perfect...

2 things,

Firstly: Stop lying to your optician, you're quite obviously going blind.
Secondly: That nice man telling you to strip off and open your mouth - i don't think he was a real dentist:eek:

I hate the dentist, I always feel that whoever I go to will be the dentist from The Simpsons.

Dentist: "How often do you brush?"
Me: "Eh..........twice a day?"
Dentist: (Leans forward, shadow covers half of their face) "Why must you turn my office into a house of lieeeeeessssss?"

Hate the fact that I actually pay him money so I can sit in his chair and be tortured :pac:

You can't lie to a good dentist. They just know.
