We all lie, sometimes big ones, sometimes little white ones, sometimes we don't even know we're doing it!
What was the last lie you told?
Are you good at telling lies and are you good at telling when other people aren't being honest?
What would happen if we were incapable of lying?
If you could ask one person one question and they HAD to tell the truth what would it be?

Apparently I’m ‘painfully honest’ but I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. I don’t like lies. 
Of course I also believe in being kind so if one were to ask if their bum looks big I’d be kind rather than be wholly honest.  |

Unless the arse in question was fabulous, in which case I’d lick it. |

I don't lie at all as a rule (apart from ticking the box that says I have read the terms and conditions!) and I am pretty good at knowing when other people are lying, I 'feel' it quite often.
I think the world would be a better place without any lying - but you would need kindness and diplomacy, and the right to 'take the fifth' sometimes. |

Yeah I lie a lot- some people call it bullshit. I never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I’m pretty good at it which means people sometimes find it difficult to know whether I’m being serious or ironic or just talking shite. I can usually work out the truths in what people are saying, but truth is relative really and absolutes are generally not absolute. |

To tell if someone is lying start by saying 'no point lying, I can always tell, your top lip doesn't move when you lie....' then watch their mouth do strange things if they tell a porky

I’m an awful liar but completely naive when being lied to. The stuff I’ve fallen for is ridiculous.
I digress. Mostly I lie to myself about how I’m feeling/coping but the smokescreen helps move me along from one thing to another. The last lie I told was last night when I said I liked oysters. Bleugh. I have no idea why I said it  |

My customer asked me if I minded moving a radiator that they had already asked me to move once before... just as I was finishing... And I said it was fine. No really. Honestly. Absolutely FINE!!  |

Ah thanks for the clarification. I suppose these become quite second nature in your job. Lying can be kinder than the truth. |
