This is not personal or related to CS or any one online but I met many people during my work journeys, on holidays, also some of relatives. I like to know what every one thinks about it or any experience?
For me it is better some one tells me I have no job I am looking for one than telling me a lie like "I am an assistant director for that company "when I know that assistant director of that company.Hope you got what I say, Also better some one tell me I don't even have no horse I walk everywhere than telling me "I have Rolls Royce-Phantom what owns by next door neighbor. Thank you

I have experienced many people trying boost themselves up like saying they have university and then later admit it was college they went to. Unfortunately it leaves a lot of doubt regarding their ability to be honest. I know for myself the only way for me to go is be up front and honest. I can accept I am not a brain surgeon. It is almost funny though sometimes to watch people lie. liar

I like what you say... i enjoy how they trap in to their own lies... I know it is not fun to laugh at when some one get in to troubles but honestly make me laugh when they trap in their own lies at some point.. Happy Easter my friend

Rather sad, really, that some people feel so inadequate in who they are or what they do that they have to lie about themselves. sigh

it is applied for the case that your lie do not cause any bad impact to the listener, it is an undamaged lie, then in some situation u have to use it to avoid the troubles & hurt for you and for the listener...

What chance do have if we don`t pretend
Would you really buy a bunch of useless products if they would tell you "they don`t really work,we are just after your money"


I'm only a semi useless product, and I do work, and charge like hell if I can get away with it. grin

I guess that depends on whether or not I have to wear an outfit, like coveralls, French Maid, a horse tail and bridle. That stuff isn't cheap to buy yanno. cowboy:

That is life... I would prefer to call it the spices of life... Art !!! This is our job to figure out and to solve these puzzles... Do not expect finished job from life... We will get headache if we always expect money and ready foods fall from the sky...

I think our entire society is based on lies. We just don't call it lies. We call it advertising, putting your best foot forward, self-promotion, marketing, being competitive, personal growth, PR, etc.

If you're honest when everyone else lies, you inevitably end up with the short end of the stick. Self-promotion is an American virtue. That's how we roll here... heck, it's even evident in how we build houses... they have a glossy front and the sides and back look like dog huts.

Why do people pretend to be something they're not? Because that is what we are. (most of us, at least). Have you ever been to Los Angeles? laugh
