We like to think that our friends and people near us always tell the truth, but that might not be true. Hey, everyone makes mistakes. Either that or they're in an awkward situation that they can't get out of any other way. It happens.
With that said, here are ten lies other people have probably told you, along with that they were probably thinking while telling it
1. Oh god, I'm sorry. I didn't see your message until this morning.
Okay fine, I saw your message, but I didn't want to pause the show I was watching. What can I say? Yesterday's episode of Grey's Anatomy was so good.
2. I wish I could come, but I'm busy that night.
Half the time, I'm actually busy. The other half, Netflix and junk food await.
3. I only ate, like, two cookies today.
More like two servings. Or two packs.
4. Don't worry; your shirt does look nice.
I'm trying to see it, but I just can't.
5. I sleep really early. Like at 9.
Yeah, maybe when I was nine.
6. You're really funny. I love your jokes.
You told that joke like three days ago, but I'll still laugh to avoid social anxiety.
7. I got did well on that test.
Yeah. If a 76 is considered good.
8. I don't have a crush on anyone.
Except that guy, and maybe that guy, and what the heck, the guy over there looks pretty good too.
9. I exercise all the time.
If time only consisted of one day three years ago.
10. Don't worry; all the food tastes really good.
The truth is, I'll say whatever I need to in order to avoid social awkwardness with the waiter.
