Good morning. How are you?
Fine, and you?
Technically that was two lies because I did not care how they were doing.
I say this lie every day these days.
“Good morning”
The morning had, in fact, not been properly evaluated and I could at the time not fully judge whether it was “good” or not. It was definitely cold though, but I did not want to say “cold morning” as that is not one of the expected greetings.
The morning turned out “good” after a full evaluation, so I fortunately did not have to go back and apologize for any misinformation.
I prefer to just abbreviate it as 'morning. Then it can be interpreted as an observation that it is, in fact, morning
« I understand » to my conspiracist friend
“How was your Christmas break?”
“Good.”
My sister asked me if I thought her infant/my niece was cute. I said yeah.
All babies are fugly and gross annoying blobs.

I’m so glad that I, as a man, don’t get handed over random babies from friends.
“Do you want to hold him?”
Oh god no, take that thing away! It’s gonna puke, I’m sure!
Especially newborns.
Told my cat he was a good boy five minutes ago that is a very questionable statement at the very least.
“Everything will be okay”
Not necessarily a lie, as we don’t know what tomorrow holds. Maybe everything WILL be okay. 🤷
(X) Doubt
Understandable, lol.
Lol I just realized I watched too many Anime now I got “Daijobu” (it’s okay) in my vocabulary now.
10 more years of this Anime stuff and I might one day understand Japanese. 😁
“Yeah, I’m doing okay.”
No, I don’t know where your chocolate buttons are.
(I ate them earlier in a moment of weakness)
…or was it a moment of strength, applying your radical freedom?
“I crashed my car while I was learning, too, it all turned out alright” to a kid who had just had a collision outside my house with a parked car (not mine). He seemed to be taking it pretty hard. I was in a collision while I was learning to drive, but the lie was that I was at fault, when in fact I had been rear-ended by a distracted driver. Also, my car was written off, so “turned out alright” is subjective. I’m an open car-hater, and frequent attendee of the fuckcars communities here on Lemmy, but I’m not so proud as to not put that on-hold for a teen going through Baby’s First Car Accident.
I totaled a car pretty early into my driving. I turned out alright. So I hereby allow you to use my story as your own.
“I love you, mom”
(what I really mean: “Please don’t abandon me, I still have separation anxiety issues because of your emotional neglect/abuse”)
Today my friend’s gf challenged me to an arm wrestling match to prove to her friend that she was as strong as a man now. She’s started doing karate a few months ago and she never stops talking about it. She’s super proud of the results she achieved. Anyway, they asked me because I happened to be closest guy in the friend group to her. I thought it was a joke and so I put out my arm while barely applying any pressure, but she was taking it seriously. She was clenching her teeth and holding her breath, and her face started turning red. I felt nothing… but I felt really bad for her and didn’t want to humiliate her in front of her friend so I pretended to struggle and lost.

Yeah, I’m going to keep working here.
Most recent white lie: probably something I said not to hurt another person (cute baby/you did great/how could he/etc).
Most recent indecent lie (to save my own ass/to defame or to hurt somebody/etc): I have never tried drugs.
