Remember that as a child, singing it to someone when they lied. Well what about adults lying, ever catch someone lying and knowing it. Can't stand it. Makes my blood boil.
How to deal with it, that is the question. I experience it in my job, mostly. Lot of closures taking place where I am and people getting laid off. Maybe they are afraid. :Yuck, Yuck.......
I just caught someone lying about me and feeling very frustrated in dealing with it. Any suggestions.

If things are out of your control, just go with the flow.

HMMMMMMMMMM....That's the one thing I can't stand is people who lie...I will call them on it...but usually they just want to try to cover it up with some lame excuse....Then there isn't much point...BUT it's a good sign to steer clear of such individuals!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roseblossum: so don't respnd then.
yes..especially with the predicament with the job. The more people lie, scream kick and cheat, the better it is to stay in the background. Good luck to you.

Just because it is a lie doesn't mean they are aware of it being a lie or that they intended for it to be a lie..... they may have been mis-informed or misconstrued something...??
I would ask them if I could have a quiet word with them and, in a composed fashion, ask what their stance was on the subject. There is no point getting angry until you have established the FACTS. My course of action would depend on the outcome of the conversation. If it was malicious, I would ask them not to repeat such behaviour and that if they did, I would take it up with their line manager or whoever was in charge. You will probably find that a controlled and composed manner will have more effect.... you will be taken less seriously if you rant and rave, it will be seen as a knee-jerk reaction and that you deal with situations without proper assessment.
Its just my view, of course, but you may find that their intent was innocent and they apologise.

I never tuck my shirt tails in to cover up my fat. I am therefore lying about my appearance. I over dress when I leave the house, giving the impression that I can afford nice clothes...when in fact most are bought in a thrift store. I am lying about my financial status. as stated, before, women wear make-up to cover up flaws in their appearance. Not wanting people to see what they really look like. We all lie on some level or another. Some go to church on Sunday then bad mouth other people who were there. Oh, so many ways we decieve each other
If it bothers you, confront them. Ask them what the deal is and set the record straight. You don't have to be angry or go off half cocked, just very matter-of-factly bring up the offending topic. I, personally, like to handle things head on. It could just be the Aquarian in me.
don't understand the being laid off and the lying connection!! Am I just that dense???At my place it is every man or women for themself that is where the lying comes in. Telling a manager or superior little while lies or running to them for everything makes them look good. That is how it is at the corporation i work for.
