The world seems as if it's never going to run out of people trying to pawn off their hastily woven lies on other folks that they assume won't see right through their game. Maybe you've personally fielded one of these outlandish, transparently fictional excuses. If you find yourself dealing with one, it's up to you on whether or not you're going to call the liar out. The thing about calling the world's liars out is that they have a tendency to get very, very defensive. So, definitely tread lightly. Check out some more of the most obvious lies that people ever told over here.

    Font - mm1332 · 18h 3 1 Award I've owned a small body shop for about 10 years. Customer: No way this is way to high. Are you trying to rip me off? The owner wouldn't be very happy about that. Can I talk to Joe? Me: He retired about 10 years ago. I'm the owner now. Customer: Well, I've brought at least a dozen cars to Joe over the last 30 years and he would never write an estimate like this for ME!

Customer: No. I wouldn't want to bother him. You just look too young to be the owner here. [Bingo, he was just trying to intimidate me, jerk] Has happened several times over the years. Some people actually do know my dad, but if I don't recognize them, they probably don't know him very well at all. G Repl
