The Ways We Lie

White Lie: If you're wife is pregnant and she asks if she looks fat the husband will lie and say no honey you look skinny and beautiful.

Facades: When people are texting me sometimes i have just gotten out of the shower and i am naked and they think i am dressed.

Ignoring the plains facts: A police officer is in his own car and is driving way over the speed limit and he gets pulled over but he tells the cop he was driving to the office and needs to be their immediately so the cop lets the guy go.

Deflecting: So say if you slyly want to tell them that they're breather stinks you're going to complain about how you hate when people don't brush their teeth or use mouth wash or chew gum or take mints.

Omission: My friend had a two year warranty for her camera and right before the two years was up she smashed it ad said it got ran over so they replaced it for a brand new one even though her contract was up in a week.

Stereotypes and Cliches: A lot of people have stereotypes of if you work at fast food then your fat, ugly, or something is wrong with you, when for the most part that's the opposite of the workers. 

Groupthink: Back in the 19th century people would have stereotyped woman and blacks and would never have thought they would have rights or let alone to ever become president.  That certainly proved them wrong with us having a now black president and having a women run for president.

Out-and-Out lies: One time i saw my little cousin clearly  picking his buggers and flicking them and i asked him if he just did that and of coarse he answered no. 

Dismissal: I cut my knee this summer while i was going floating down the river. I wasn't sure what i had cute it on but it was bleeding and it kind of hurt.   A few days later there was a red thick line trailing under my skin from my cut towards up my thigh.  It was numb and i thought this wasn't good so i told my mom and showed her and told her all that had happened.  She told me i was fine to put a band aid on it.  I believed her of coarse and listened to her.  I later that day went to my best friends house and her mom freaked out when she saw my cut and told me to go to urgent care ASAP.  So i called my mom and told her so she took me.  When i got there the Dr. said if i had waited any longer to get medication the infection would have crawled up to my leg into my pelvic area and i basically would've been in deep shit.

Delusion: My sister goes shopping at least every weekend and sometimes during the day.  She never goes ANYWHERE without buying something.  It is the most annoying thing i have ever witnessed because she definitely doesn't have the money she acts like she has. She buys the most expensive things when she doesn't need them.  My mom and i both have tried to tell her she is a shopaholic and she needs help but she of coarse disagrees and tells us that she doesn't shop that much anymore but she lies because we know she does when she has tags on all her cloths she brings home.

  1. Some of these are on the money, but a few of them are a little off, like the definition for facade and for deflecting. Maybe revisit these for further reference.
