No one wants to think about it, but everyone lies. And according to Reddit, there are some lies that everyone tells. A thread has people calling out the common lies people say all the time and they’re pretty spot on.
- "I’m good/fine/OK.”
- "It was nice talking to you."
- "I've read the terms and conditions."
- "Don't worry about it."
- "'I’m almost there.' (Shows up 20 minutes later.)"
- "'If there's anything I/we can do, just let us know.' I've always wanted to say something like, 'OK, pay my power bill next month.'"
- "'If you work hard, you will be successful.' Bullsh*t!"
- "I don’t judge."
- "Oh wow, yeah, I'll definitely have to watch that show you recommended, thanks!"
- "'Sorry I missed your call.' No I'm not, I was looking at the phone when it started ringing and chose to ignore it."
- "I’ll quit (insert bad habit) tomorrow."
- "I'm busy right now."
- “I don’t know where your really loud and annoying toy went, sweetie! It’s a mystery. How about you play with your coloring book instead?”
- "'I don’t care what others think of me.' Lots of people say this, but I don’t think it's possible to not care."
- "To the dentist: 'Yes, of course, I will floss every day.'"
- "Deep down, I'm really a good person."
- "When people deny peeing in the shower."
- "Oh, life will slow down after (high school, college, getting first job)."
- "Five more minutes."
- "I’m sorry, I have other plans that night."
