So many of us are prone towards telling silly little white lies. It could be the result of just trying to keep things simple by not being completely, brutally honest. Or maybe you find yourself in a customer service gig where you're regularly putting up with all kinds of crazily entitled customers, and the lies are the only thing that keep the job vaguely manageable.

    Font - Long Liv (Taylor's Version) @folklorefandom Replying to @makaylathinks If you're in a sales job a great one to lean on is "corporate says we're not allowed to do that it's against company policy" and act annoyed with "corporate" about it. Then you can both blame someone else. Works like a charm.

Then the owner said we couldn't anymore.
