[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think its always interesting when people lie about essential background truths. I met a friend of a friend once at a dinner party and she went into a whole spiel that she was a stewardess with British Airways. Told me long involved stories about in-flight near disasters. Then she started laughing. She was just an unemployed actress and was delighted that she'd fooled me. Of course I didn't have any time to listen to her after that. Ever. [/quote] I would have found that interesting and looked forward to seeing her at other events and watching her pull that act on other people. But that's not what anyone means by lying. She wasn't trying to look better by telling you this story, she was just trying to see if she could convince you. That's very different from someone who claims something concrete about their background ("I'm from Chicago" or "I have a masters" or "I work in publishing" when these things are not true) in order to get people to like them or be impressed by them. The actress was just having fun/trying something out and it sounds like she always intended to tell you the truth (and thought you'd figure it out sooner).[/quote]
