The 15 Most Common White Lies and Why

15 Most Common White Lies and Why We Tell Them:

1. It wasn’t me! – Because some things just aren’t worth taking credit for.

2. The table will be ready in 5 minutes. – Because it sounds a lot better than 15 minutes.

3. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. – Because option B involves admitting that I am clueless.

4. Thank you so much! I just love it! – Because telling someone that their gift sucked would make me look like an insensitive jerk.

5. Yeah, you look great in that dress. – Because it’s better than being slapped.

6. Oh, things would have been different if I was there! – Because I’m Superman and I can always make a difference…
or at least that’s how I want others to perceive of me.

7. No, officer… I have no idea how fast I was going. – Because claiming ignorance is sometimes better than admitting to insubordination.

8. I’m 29. – Because 29 is like 20 years younger than 30.

9. Yeah, I’ll start working on that ASAP! – Because telling you I have 10 things to do first would just irritate you.

10. Yes, John was with me last night. – Because that’s what friends do… we agree and ask questions later.

11. My resume is 5 pages long for a good reason. – Because I’m darn good at BS-ing.

12. Man, that sucker was 10 feet long! – Because anything less would be boring.

13. Yeah, I was a badass on my high school football team! – Because I want to be seen by others in an even stronger light than I see myself.

14. I’m 21, 6’5, with a muscular built. – Because you can’t see me in this online chat room… ha ha!

15. I thought I already sent that email out. I’m sure I did. – Because telling you that it was a low priority and I forgot would probably hurt our relationship.
