What was the last lie you told, and why?

Question

And I mean a proper lie, not a little white lie

I finally got fired from my job, which I’m actually thrilled about, but I haven’t told my father. He’s 88 and very old school. I haven’t taken a vacation, plus my old job treated me horrendously and stiffed me on $5,000 bonuses I earned two years in a row. So you better believe I wasn’t leaving that place for free. I know nothing irks them more than having to pay into unemployment, so I will be absolutely thrilled to collect every last dime I’m entitled to while recharging my batteries. Unfortunately, my dad and I are living together due to his age and disability, and while he hated my employers as much as I did, he sees collecting unemployment as very dishonorable, so he wouldn’t approve of me taking this extended vacation. He also has this idea in his head that any gaps in my resumé will render me unemployable, as if I couldn’t just say I took time off to care for my aging father, as if we aren’t in the middle of a pandemic that’s left a ton of people unemployed. Fortunately I have some family money and I live with very few expenses, so I could get away with not working or working part time for quite a while if I wanted to, so I’m not under any stress, but my dad would still expect me to be out pounding the pavement every day, and that’s just not how I want to spend my summer after eight years of 80-100 hour work weeks, 45,000 miles per year driving, and never taking a vacation or barely a day off, even when my mom died a couple years ago. So as much as I hate lying to my dad, the only way I can have this summer of peace is to keep him in the dark, get up and leave as I would on a normal work day, and then just kill time. Ultimately I’m a grown adult and it’s not his business, but at his age, you don’t even buy green bananas, so I don’t want any rifts between us in his final years, I just want good quality time with him.

That is a tough one, I dont lie much, I take great pride in that, I think my last fight was cause someone called me a liar, I had a forman lie to me, a month or two ago and it was all I could do to not put hands on him, I'm sure if he had stepped towards me I would have lost control. I take lies very serious. the only lies that come to mind recently are exaggerating how good girls or parts of said girls bodies look. I lie about that cause I know girls can be very self conscious about the silliest things, like even tho she is a total hottie she's self conscious about her boob size, I honestly think there good sure but I will say I love them, there fantastic, they exactly what I like, cause I dont want them getting self conscious or worse contemplating cosmetic surgery just cause something, I thing on them is a 6 or 7 out 10, when they are a 8 overall. You might think of this as a little white lie, that all I got tho, I dont lie. If I feel I gotta lie to you I'll just cut you out my life.

Mmmm... To be honest, I can't even remember. 😳 It's been that long since I stopped lying. I used to rarely lie anyway. But if you ask me how often do I tell my loved ones white lies? I'd say pretty often. 😬

While making out, I told a guy that I wasn't on birth control when in fact I was just because I didn't want him in me.

I don't really lie so maybe just a little white lie about not self harming to my therapist. Or something like that. I really just don't lie a lot, One time my teacher asked me did i say something about wanting to know what a human taste like i straight up just said "Yeah? And?" Lmao. i guess most people would of lied and said no.

Eh, I don't remember. Though, I remember in eigth grade I was getting sick of band class so I decided to play hooky on the band trip that I've been expecting for weeks. The assistant band teacher came in and yanked me out of English class in front of everyone.

I don't remember! I'm not a good liar so I generally avoid doing so...

I was this [ ] close to telling my kid that Elf on the Shelf succumbed to COVID19. I'm tired of hearing about that damn elf all year round.

Last week my friends asked me out to go swimming with them and I declined saying I was busy. In actuality I was just at home doing basically nothing just being a sloth.
