Anyone Ever Reverse Lie?

Post Reply New Topic

What I mean by that is, has anyone here ever told 100% the truth but told it like you were lying to see if it was (beleivably) UN-beleivable for fun???

I have. and I have fooled someone into thinking I was lying. I think its a good idea to try something like this just to practice acting.

I think I have, I tend to be a bit too honest with things, but I added some sarcasm which I am well known for and they think that I am being sarcastic when I am confessing. One problem is at times I tend to laugh at the thought of fooling people and often give away a lie, in a way I like to save up my lies for a rainy day, but I when something has been done and I am expected to lie I have to avoid my dad. sadely my 7 year old brother has a couple of times not understood he has to lie and gives it away. But one stratagey I do do is to test others reactions by putting thoughts into there head so a lie or lie lie can be easier to swalow by them. Just afraid of being caught and a lie lie can be riskier with getting away with.

I don't do it very often, unless I'm playing Poker...or Cheat (or BS or whatever you prefer to call it)

I do this a lot. Usually I want them to think I'm BSing for social reasons - stuff where if they actually thought it was true they would stay the hell away from me.

Not really for fun.

In many jobs, and especially in the Navy, there is always at least one person on staff that is determined to prove that their most intelligent co-worker (usually me) is really just guessing, and that their "knowledge" is therefore worthless.

I told one guy that the boss "absolutely, positively, did not want him to come in on Saturday and reconfigure the tool storage area." Not only did he do exactly the opposite, but he even tried to take full credit for both the act and the idea. The boss told him to put everything back exactly where it was before, and then fired him afterwards.

I told one woman that the owner of the company would fire any woman who showed up for work in tight and/or revealing clothing. She disbelieved me, claiming that she always got along well with him in the past, and that she would prove me wrong the very next day. Within five minutes of walking in the door in her "Daisy Duke" shorts and tank top, she was summoned to the owner's office and immediately fired. It seems that the owner did not like anyone going against her will, even though it was her husband who actually ran the place.

... and many, many more ...

"I might have an autistic disorder"

"you're joking right?"

"... yeah, yeah I am"

I do not do it on purpose, but often when making sarcastic comments people think I am being completely serious, even when it's not logically plausible.

One time I had not spoken for about 30 minutes. I was sitting with two women and one of their husbands came and chatted for about 10 minutes then suddenly stood up and left. The women commented on the quick exit, and I said "I hope it was not anything I said' expecting them to laugh (I had not spoken in well over half an hour by this time and had not uttered a sound when the husband was there), but they all immediately started to reassure me it was not anything I said...

Sometimes I can find out weeks or longer afterwards that people took a sarcastic comment seriously.
