When I lie, it’s most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you’re likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?
Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?
“I’m fine.”
Ouch
I’m good, how are you?
“Did you find everything okay?”
Dude, you’re a grocery cashier. I know full well that if I unload my whole fucking arrogant engineer-ass evaluation of your whole store’s problems at your face, it will do absolutely nothing but make us both unhappy. So I don’t.
Everything is great.
Y’all are out of the good eggs and I had to settle for the okay eggs.
I understand why maple syrup is next to Bisquick instead of next to sugar and molasses and corn syrup, but I still disapprove. Sweeteners are sweeteners, not baking ingredients.
But you really don’t care. You have zero input into your store’s purchasing decisions. You want to ring me up and get through your day and go home to your hot boyfriend.
So yeah, I found everything okay.
Nevermind that store layouts are designed by corporate, so the local grunts likely don’t have any say over product placement
I’ve done time studies for factories and redone processes to make them more efficient even though it really isn’t my job function. During COVID I wanted to have an aneurysm every time I went into a store that obviously didn’t have anyone that had any ability to create a proper flow and just tossed lines wherever. But no I bit my tongue instead of being that engineer to the poor employees having to work in a thankless public facing job.
I thought it was a pretty big win for common sense when the local Trader Joe’s switched to a single queue rather than one queue per register.
“No it’s fine. I don’t mind.”
I’ll do it tomorrow.
I wish this comment wasn’t so relatable.
Or even “I’ll do it in an x amount of time”
I’ll do it after 3 hours. I’ll do it in the evening. I’ll do it in 3 days.
I lie on the internet fairly regularly as weird precaution to make myself less identifiable. I don’t want any of my accounts to link to eachother, let alone back to me
Approved. Just make it a good and enticing story. I don’t care so much if it’s true 😉
That’s my sentiment as well. I take everything I read with a grain of salt, so should everyone else. I come to comment sections for entertainment, not facts.
“Yeah, I’m fine”
I’m a big fan of the super obvious lie. It makes people think you’re really bad at lying, and they overestimate their ability to detect your lies, so they let their guard down.
I hope this email finds you well.

“I’m a boy”
The fact that this is a common lie for me might mean that people I talk to don’t believe it either.
I hope one day you are able to live your truth. ♥
“I’m working on it”

At work, I oversimplify things to the point that they’re no longer strictly true all the time.
It’ll be okay.
