You’re going to be late for work? What you do? You call the boss and tell him about an incredible adventure you were part of on your way to the office. You drank too much and don’t want your partner to know about? Invent a stomach flu. Seeing somebody else in the same time? Not good, but you still have a story in your sleeve, ready to pop out in a crisis situation. People lie. And yes, it is wrong, but sometimes you go against morals or fairness and you just want to save your sorry…  you know. So let’s take a look on ten most common lies people are so used to tell, they don’t even sound like lies anymore.
