LITTLE WHITE LIES

The amount of times someone lies in one day apparently depends on which study you’ve read and who did the research. After a quick round up on Google, I’ve concluded that the number varies between two to twenty times a day. The one thing that is sure? That everyone lies at least once a day. Lying, little white lies; we all do it. I decided to use myself as the perfect candidate and see when the last time was that I altered the truth.

Last week Anna Nooshin (Dutch YouTuber and author) dropped by my house to film for her YouTube channel. It was about shoes. So there we were, Anna, myself and the camera guy, talking about heels and boots and what not. Then she asked me if they could film me wearing some of my heels with matching outfits. Uhm yeah sure, why not Anna? Being the sweetheart that she is, she would put back all the clothes I had worn into my closet – where my darling cat Disco had just spent the evening. Yes, she sleeps in my closet sometimes and yes, it is awful, but my closet doesn’t have any doors. Anyways, long story short, it was filled with cat hairs. Very embarrassing. Very disgusting. So not okay. “Uhm, I recently had a door made for my closet and I’m waiting for it to be delivered,” is what I told her. Now I definitely have plans to do so sometime in the future, but uhm, I haven’t actually ordered anything just quite yet. As in: I’m too lazy to do it and now spend every morning using one of those cotton lints to get rid of all the cat hairs.

I had dinner plans with a friend and she offered to cook at her place. But for a bunch of different reasons, which I’ve decided to keep to myself for now, her house always makes me feel rather uncomfortable, so I asked if she would drop by my place instead. Location wise it was very much out of her way, but I just knew that I would be the one feeling miserable after having spent an evening at her place. So I decided to tell her I couldn’t leave my place because I was waiting for a delivery. “In the evening?” was her rather fair question. I told her it was a special emergency delivery and so she agreed to come to my place. It wasn’t until I hung up the phone that I realized how dumb my excuse had been because how the hell was I supposed to fake a delivery? So as we were having dinner I pretended to send a really angry mail to the ‘company’ asking them where the HELL my delivery was. God, I suck as a person.

I recently bumped into an ex lover of mine. Not a big deal, minus the fact that it was about 2 in the afternoon, I hadn’t showered, had the biggest hangover and was looking for something to eat. He happens to be a very successful person who is currently dating an equally successful lady who works as a model (I can’t stand it when my exes start dating fucking models after they’ve dated me) and I felt like the biggest loser who is still in the same place she was in life six years ago when I was dating him. “Oh hey pfff, I pulled an all-nighter last night working cause I’m currently working on such a huge and exciting project” is what I blurted out. Pretty sure he didn’t believe any of it.

Done with the lie detector test? One of the above stories is complete bullshit. Up to you to guess which one it is. Haha.
