QOTD #00009: “What's the last lie you've told? Why did you tell it?”
Sure, honesty is the best policy, but we're all guilty of lying at one point or another. Besides, a little white lie never hurt anyone... did it? Tell us the last lie you told, and what made you lie to that person.

Lied my way out of work - to get to class.
"Last lie I told, I said I was sick for work, when in reality I just kinda wanted to get to class, and I didn't want to, you know, I didn't have a really good excuse for missing work besides class. And I know if I would have said class, it would have been an issue, so I just said I was sick."

An over-the-phone lie to get back my time.
"I was on a phone call today, and I, um, was a little irritated because the call was set for 12:30, and this person didn't call me until almost 12:45. And so, I told her that I had a hard stop at 1 because I wanted that time that I had lost back. "

A friendly lie to keep my grant money safe.
"The last lie I told... The last lie I told has to be, um, when I lied to my friends that I didn't get the grant I actually got. Um, I did this so that they wouldn't, um, be involved in sharing the money with me. Yeah, my friends, I love them, but at times they can be vultures."

Sneaking out of work to make more money.
"Um, okay, I lied most recently to a previous employer, um, saying that I was going to a doctor's appointment when really I just took another job that was paying me more that day. Um, so yeah, I lied and said I had a very important doctor's appointment that I was unable to reschedule. Meanwhile, I was just making more money. Oops."

My bad; I thought you were a boy.
"So, this is the most embarrassing, but I'm a youth leader at my church, and because of COVID we have to sign everyone in with an iPad. So, this person, seventh grader, they told me that their name was Sam. I get their name, I get their birthday, I scroll down, and I click "boy," and they respond, like, "Oh, I'm a girl, I'm a girl, I'm a girl." And I said, "Oh, I'm sorry. That was an accident." It wasn't an accident. I thought they were a boy."

I lied in poker (but of course!)
"The last lie I ever told was probably about two days ago when I was playing poker. And there were two queens on the board, and someone asked me if I had a queen in my hand, and I said no, but I did, and I had three of a kind, and I won the hand."

Lying so mom doesn't know my heinous activities.
"Yeah, I think the last lie that I told sadly was probably to my mom about, like, what I had been up to over the weekend. Um, and I just, you know, it's like one of those white lies that you have to tell, um, because you were up to some mischievous activity, and you have to make it sound a lot more wholesome. So, I probably just said I was, like, hiking with friends, when in reality I was probably doing some more heinous stuff."

I lied so my mom won't think I'm lazy.
"My last lie is really stupid, and uh, and I don't lie that often because I really don't see the point in it. But my mom got me, um, some dope new equipment for my- for my studio, and, uh, this was for Christmas. And she asked me last night, she's like, "So, have you, like, set up your new microphone?" and I'm like, "No, I can't, um, find the cable I need for my computer," in a total lie. I was just too lazy to do it yet, and I didn't want to tell her that."

The Starbucks barista made me lie about "my dog."
"The last lie I told was to the Starbucks barista, who asked me where my dog was because I- There must be a regular that looks like me or drives the same car. And I basically made up this whole story about what species my - or, not species - what breed my dog was and his name and, yeah, it was- I felt bad. I didn't want to embarrass her, but I basically embarrassed myself."

The perfect lie to keep my legs at home...
"So, a few weeks ago, I fell down the stairs and hurt my leg pretty badly. So now it's getting better, but I still keep telling everyone that it hurts really, really bad just because I'm an introvert, and I need an excuse to stay at home, and everyone is trying to drag me out of the house. Um, so, I guess I found a perfect lie that is helping me every day."

Yeah, I love that outfit! (Not really)
"The last lie I told was, um, when my roommate asked me if I liked her outfit, and I was like, "Yeah, I love it. It's so cute," but in reality, I didn't love it. But it wasn't that bad, and I didn't want to make her feel self-conscious 'cuz she was, like, just about to leave for work. So, I just decided to keep things simple and just tell a little white lie."

Acting like a family man for the Uber driver.
"The last lie I ever told, uh, was unfortunately to my Uber driver. He, uh, was hearing in on a conversation where I'd ordered a lot of food and was wondering if I was going home and eating it with my family. I told him I did because I don't think he would have taken it well if I'd actually told him that all the food was for me."

It's okay to not be mentally okay, especially now.
"The last lie I told - which was like not long ago, just popped into my head - was, um, I told my husband that I was okay mentally, and I'm definitely not. It's okay to not be okay by the way, um, especially right now during these times, like COVID and stuff. Reach out if you need help because it's really important. Mental health is super important, so..."

An emergency lie to miss class that day.
"Uh, so, the last lie that I ever told personally was, um, to one of my professors that the reason I hadn't been able to go to class was 'cuz my neighbor had an emergency, and, well, this was true. She had actually had it about three days ago, and I was just really, really stressed out, and I did not want to go to class that day. So, probably not a great thing to do, but that was the only class I missed, so, you know, I think it was fine."
