All the bloody time for me...you?

[Marsh.]

I'm normally the one fixing the hassle/trouble someone else has caused.

[joeysteele]

No.
I don't believe that lying can get anyone out of trouble.
Even if successful initially, the truth will come out eventually, which will then probably leave anyone lying, as to their integrity, if they had any, in tatters.
That's my personal belief.

Why was spiral lowkey hot tho

[Oliver_W]

If it was something like retail maybe lol, not my current job though.

[Redway]

Obviously.

[Amy Jade]

Not my current job but when I worked in retail I used to yes. Like if you are going on your break and dying for a wee and you hear 'excuse me' I'd run for the door and say I hadn't heard a few times

Oh and once a really rude woman asked for cigarettes and she was on her phone and I asked if she wanted super kings or normal and she didnt answer so I gave her king size and she kicked off saying I got it wrong and I said I asked her three times when I only asked once.

[caprimint]

Sure

"I didn't see any tip on the table" when I damn well took it for myself

[Cherie]

No not really, there is a paper trail for every action anyway so it would be more or less impossible, apart from saying you didn't get their email I suppose

Oh they are just kind of fibs really Amy Jade.
I don't see anything wrong in them at all.
Really you were the wronged one with someone ignorantly using their phone, while expecting all your attention.
I'd have admired your tolerance in that situation.

For me, it is the possible lies that would or could get anyone out of hassle or bother but which left others getting suspicion or into possible hassle for themselves or trouble.
That's the real lies.

[LeatherTrumpet]

Lie?

never

[LeatherTrumpet]

I do sometimes have to navigate a alternative route from the truth in order to avoid heavy seas and arrive safely at my destination.

[Toy Soldier]

In my current job no. Well other than little white lies like "my camera isn't working" so that I can sit on zoom meetings having just rolled out of bed minutes earlier.

In my last job? Never to co-workers, but constant... Umm... little "half-truths" to customers all the time .

"No you can't have the toilet key, the toilets are out of order sorry" is a lie I must have told literally thousands of times.

My mum works in a bookies, she says if someone looks like they're a druggy or "was gonna leave a hideous shitty mess" she won't give them the key

[Toy Soldier]

I mean I say "never" to co-workers, obviously plenty of white lies and schmoozing. Like when a company big wig says "it was good seeing you" you sort of have to say "Yes, good seeing you too" and not "lol no it wasn't I get a cold shiver down my spine when you walk in the door you slimy arsehole".

Those are indeed the two main reasons to deny toilet usage. If you think they're going to shoot up (and probably leave needles behind ) or if you think they're going to inexplicably get **** all over everything. We had it in the sink... HANDPRINTS up the walls... one time a pair of boxers absolutely caked in it left splatted in the corner...

Sometimes these days, when I'm sat working from home in my cushy 3rd sector Web-based job, but feeling a bit bored and missing the laughs and interaction... I have to remind myself of toilet cisterns full of rusty needles and drunks trying to kick in the windows. That usually nips any nostalgia in the bud.

Similarly when I'm trying to get behaviour-problems teens to care about cooking or science I miss the days of being openly sarcastic and scathing to customers, or hiding in the fitting rooms to fart around on my phone ... I never got employee of the month

Explain the half truths please, and did you appear in still game?
