Have you ever told a white lie?

[Diango12]

I think we all told our share of white lies, the real question is how do you feel about it. Are they acceptable?

For example.

Today a friend of mine was going to cook something "special" for me, oh and yeah I was pretty excited! Apparently she's been reading up on some exotic cook books and was enthusiastic about testing her new found cooking prowess; me being "always ready to try something new" couldn’t say no. After a nice good wait I was treated to a three-course meal involving a suspicious tomato sauce, a treacherous looking onion covered fish, and a shady casserole, which I never trusted from the beginning.

In any case I tired each one and after three bites from each of the meals I was ready to curl up and die. When she asked me "so what was it like?" I was already in need of CPR. Now usually I would get into a tempered bad mood but strangely I couldn’t get pissed off if I wanted to and instead wanted her to be happy with what she's done so I replied "yeah that’s pretty tasty, your good!" >_<. Of course afterwards there was no way I was going to eat any of that! So after a few awkward exchanges I was off home and my promised "Ice cream treat" wasn’t delivered on!

Oh deary me. You really should have been honest with her, as she may cook the same thing again for...I don't know...a future potential boyfriend? She'll lose him that way. The only way she'll learn is to be told how it is and if not she'll improve.

I've never told a white lie. I don't lie at all. Deception is bad.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Peegee]

I tell bold faced lies all the time. I hope people know I'm not one to care whether I lie or tell the truth....

Oh well.

In your situation I would've told the truth if only in a less awkward and direct manner. However personally I hate telling half-truths and I suck at them.

A white lie is a condemning sin.

[ljkkjlcm9]

depends, sometimes it's alright, and sometimes the other person knows and you're just saying it to make them feel better... such as someone getting a black eye, and saying, "Does it look bad?" Oh... it's not that bad. You both know otherwise, but you're just being nice.

Nobody is that honest. Sorry.

I don't lie, whether it's from going up to a jerk and saying they should get friends, or saying that someone's hair looks better behind their shoulders rather than in front. But if it isn't in between them, depending on the situation I may lie. If you really want to know like you all do just ask what I mean by that.

[Unknown Light]

I don't lie I just don't tell the them the whole thing! =)

I have a firm "No friggin' way" position on lying. I've told some lies in the past, usually just for amusement to see how long it takes people to catch on (I made some friends believe I was from Germany; my surname's scandinavian if you go back twelve generations or so, thus I convinced a few people for a while. It was quite funny.) but other than that I cannot stand lying to people; it tends to gnaw slowly on my conscience. If I do, I have to really hate them.

Besides, you should never, ever, under any circumstances, apologise for being honest; usually a white lie is just telling a person what they want to hear, no?

[Mirage]

No, never. This isn't a white lie either, just so you know.

[rubah]

I am telling you a white lie at this moment.

[TyphoonThaReapa]

I am telling you a white lie at this moment.

Second that.

[Jowy]

I'm leaving work today for an "eye appointment" and I "should be back around three."

HAH!

Why's it gotta be white? Racists.
