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?
Oh, man. Email is a real bitch. The context for me when I say this is the shipping industry and/or the software developers for shipping software.
If you ask more than one question, take your pick, just one will be answered. “Please see below?” You’re going to get asked a question that could’ve been answered by “please see below.” These dumbfucks will go out of their way to make anything as grating as possible. Send an attachment? “Oh my ancient-ass Outlook Express is too fucked up to show me that.” S/MIME? “Can’t read your email!” JSON? “What’s that, we run a cobbled SOAP someone wrote back in 1999.”
People can’t figure out threading if it were to save their life. Add in a bunch of douchebag hotshots between separate threads, discuss four different accounts between three threads, why not? Apparently email is a complicated brand new technology that office workers have yet to master but sure let’s conduct all of our business on it forsomefucking reason.
Fuck
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 don't lie to anyone except my employer. They are not owed any explanation or insight into my personal life, and personally I feel that that is the only acceptable instance for me to lie at this point in my life.
Circumstances change, but I generally try and lie as little as possible.
That depends. Do exaggerations, errors in perspective, adapting to others' perspective, and literary devices count as lying? If we're talking classic lies, I don't remember the last time I did that if I ever did. If we're being more broad, though, you could say I beat around the bush a lot. Shame is a terrible attribute in society. People often ask about my mental health, how I'm doing, the quality of my day, and so on. Things along those lines. And I don't want to say "well I existentially don't care" or this kind of thing happens, so I say stuff like "I'm top of the morning" because I don't have to betray what's below the surface.
"I will do it tomorrow", I say that to myself and to many people. Not proud of this.
Lie I tell most often: “I'm fine.”
It is easier to do, and easier on the conscience to lie by omission, so that's the kind of lie I do most often, which is mostly to smooth things over in social situations.
Rather than telling the truth, which would require me to talk about my mental health and current state, and face possible stigma, I'd rather just lie about being fine.
"They're not in the office right now, can I put you to their voicemail?"
I'll get on it as soon as I finish this job
So I guess "blatant" is the type.
I often joke that my job mostly "telling removed how fucked they are".
Sometimes I'm just not feeling it, so I fail to tell someone how trully fucked they really are, even though it's probably important that they know.
It's a lie of omission.
"Good morning". Nothing good in me having to wake up at 5:30 and dealing with nincompoops actively trying to poison themselves and their children with Tylenol or whatever.
I have done a lot Enough for today I am tired I need to rest I should shut my eyes
