I was talking to someone yesterday who I know absolutely hates it when they catch someone out in a lie to them, and has been known to 'set traps' lol ....but who nonetheless is rather good at it themselves, certainly at 'lying by omission' and it gave me pause for thought, on the lies/liars I have 'encountered' lol ( rather too many unfortunately lol) . |

Rose. Over the years, almost everybody has lied in my experience. It is part of life, it seems. Usually for reasons you give. |

lol John well you have caught me out on that one, I have on several job applications over the years 'lied' about my schooling, having been to....9 different schools, I have taken the easy way out and stretched the time at just two or three of them to fit, rather than have to put them all down ( we moved a lot, I wasn't expelled lol). |

I find sticklers for the absolute truth as annoying as liars sometimes. Nitpicking over meanings and over-analysing exact wording seems a bit weird to me. Especially when it doesn't really matter that much. |

Apparently, it is alleged that we all begin to lie at about age 6. |

I prefer tact to the blunt truth, eg 'that isn't really your colour/this dress looks better on you' as opposed to 'you look like a fat, ugly, jaundiced back end of the bus in that dress' ;-) |

I can't abide blatant lies used to promote oneself or to turn the blame off themselves. However I think most people including me have told lies through their lives to make someone feel better, to make life easier or get out of a sticky situation. I would never lie if it meant someone would be hurt and get into trouble for something they didn't do. |

I'm not good at telling lies - too honest for my own good - I would get caught out pretty quickly |

Not if you're a man Kay. They can't win - damned if they do and damned if they don't tell the truth about "The Big Bum". |
