I typed up a whole page of an answer to whether I lie or not and how much, but then I realized that most of it was exaggerated or abbreviated to make it sound better. My documentation then must be held accountable so that I can accurately describe my life's habitual lying influence.

I enlisted the aid of a dear friend, my iPhone. I began to document each and every lie I told during the day. I was at work that day.

6:14am
Boss lady comes outside and says 'You forgot to clock in this morning. What time did you get here?'
I lie and say, '5:57'

I actually got there and 6:04 and purposely neglected to clock in because I knew she would fix my time and then I wouldn't be tardy and lose a quarter of an hour.

Why I chose 5:57, I'm not sure. I think it just sounded believable.

I lied for personal gain.

7:05am
Customer asks me if we have any more Gothic mailbox posts in stock.
I say 'No.'

We had twenty of them, but it was raining and I knew that I would get soaking wet getting the damn things so I just told them to come back tomorrow and we would have received them in a shipment by then. It wasn't in the forecast to rain then.

I lied for my own comfort.

10:21am
Girl that I used to date comes onto the lumber yard with a new boyfriend that looks like a mix between Brad Pitt and Vin Diesel. We start talking and she asks if I'm dating anyone.
I say, 'No.'

I am dating several people, but none of them can match up to the dude she is with so I just lie to keep from looking like I left her for someone that doesn't add up.

I lied for pride.

2:45pm
I've just got home from work and Chris calls me to see what I'm doing. I know that he wants to come by and hang out, but I am tired and don't feel like company.
I say that I'm busy working on Rant Central so he won't come over.

I was playing COD and scanning SuprBay

I lied because I am a prick.

8:24pm
This girl I know texts me and wants to see if I can give her a ride to town.
I say that I was asleep because I have to be up early in the morning.

I had nowhere to be the next day and I was wide awake in my underwear going through programming exercises on my PC.

I lied because I don't like her that much . . . or maybe because I am selfish.

---

Actually that whole thing was a lie, but that is the kind of stuff I lie about. I will lie to calm someone down, make things go smooth or just because I feel more comfortable with a lie than the truth.

I feel no shame. It is a cold world and we have to do what we have to do to survive.

I swear I only lie when I’m not telling the truth truthfully, and no lie I spin is ever truthfully a true lie but a misrepresentation of something resembling a bit of a fib.:angel:

---

I get into more trouble because I do just blurt out the truth all the time. I really don’t give a shit, but if I have time to think I will deny if it is to save someone, and once I tell a lie I make sure it is never forgotten and not come undone until it needs to be told.
I had this with a niece who was growing up fully depending on a lie her dad had spun her mother, she was sure all the kids would have homes and land handed to them. I woke her up. Told her to look to her future. that a fib told 10 years in the past was doing her harm. “Wake up”. so she walked out vowing to prove me wrong. and she found out I was not lying. she changed her outlook but told me I was wrong for telling the truth as it hurt. and I told her straight she was 20 time to grow the hell up, My truth may have hurt in the short term but the lie if not addressed was going to make all of them hurt for a very long time.. there was no land for them. too bad. they had to work and buy their own. her Mum used to nag her dad about business money all the time. he had in fact got a loan from a brother and the repayments were the trigger.. (what’s this) land for the kids.

No! I am a bigger liar than you

Aside about lying:

Tom, a deacon of the church was known to be a liar. The people of the congregation got together and said, 'We need to do something about this lying deacon!' So they formed a plan. They would tell brother Tom the biggest, most ridiculous lie so that he could see how stupid and unnecessary lying is. The went to brother Tom's home to visit him.

"Brother Tom, while you were out last Sunday, you won't believe what happened!

Right in the middle of Sunday school, a bear came busting through the back doors of the church and began to terrorize the congregation. It lumbered down the middle isle and straight up to the communion table, turning it over.

As it continued to roar and bellow, a tiny chihuahua ran through the open church doors and commenced to fighting the dog. Brother Tom, I'm here to tell you that that little chihuahua dog not only whooped, but consumed that bear- ate him up!

Now brother Tom, do you believe that?"

The church folks didn't have to wait long for Tom's reply:

"Believe it!?" he asked, "Preacher that was my dog!"
