[quote=Anonymous]I always am even though I've seen it happen plenty of times. It's doesn't shock me because I can't believe anyone would lie or because I expect people to be ethical. It shocks me because I can't believe anyone has the confidence to think they can get away with it. Like I would [I]never[/I], and the biggest reason why is that I assume people will not believe me or feel confident that getting caught in the lie would be so much worse. But the interesting thing is that the people I've encountered who lie like this (brazenly) get away with it more often than not. I think they've figured out that most people are pretty lazy and are okay just going along with whatever someone tells them -- challenging someone over whether what they are telling you is the truth, takes work, and will inevitably result in conflict. It's easier to just go alone. Yet I still find myself totally astounded when people lie like this. I caught someone in a lie like this today -- a big lie that was obvious to me because I'd already spoken to the their spouse about it. When I called them out on it, they just smiled and shrugged like "whoopsie, oh well." Amazing.[/quote]
