Most of us lie, even if it's a white lie. Some lie to others just to avoid conflicts, and this lies are probably the most being said. Actually, there's lots of reason to lie even though each reason is way different from the other. Some people lie as they can't afford to tell the truth as sometimes being so truthful might get them into trouble. Lack of courage to handle the truth lead us to lie. And if lying is an option then it will definitely be considered the easier way out. Most lie that will hurt you the most is a lie that comes from your partner as being lied by the one you love will give you undesirable feeling as you will feel being betrayed. No one likes to think that the person who's very close to you may be lying, and a lie inside a relationship will make a huge gap in between, but some lies are used to save a relationship too. I listed some of common lies we use everyday, and don't tell me you didn't use any of it on purpose, hehehe! If we're like Pinocchio, i'm sure most of us has a very long pointed nose as we lie even its on purpose or not. hehehe! 

"There's no signal where im in." --actually even the signal on that place is weak, there's still a spot that has it.

"I'm fine, nothing to worry." --girl's always say this to their partner, even she's boiling inside.

"You look great." -- boys are good at this lie, if a girl asked him about what she looks, the guy will say something nice even the girl looks stupid on that dress.

"I'm on my way." --this is a bit irritating as i really hate waiting, most of us are always late in meeting with someone or in an appointment.

"I'll call you after few minutes." --and in the end....hours past, still there's no call from that someone.

"Starting tomorrow i'll stop it." --and the next day...he's/she's doing the same stupid thing.

"This is my last drink." --and we're sure, it's the last bottle of the day. and a new bottle the next day.

"I haven't read your text." --the real thing is....he/she deleted it already, so there's no proof.

"It's okay, no problem." --but you're thinking the other way.

"My alarm clock didn't rang." --a lie of a lazy person. 

"No,it's my fault." --a person who just want to end the conversation, even there's a proof that the other person is the culprit.

"I was in a very important meeting." --maybe in an important meeting with friends on a party. lolz.

"I'm on a diet." --this is girls most common lie to themselves. 

"You're a great cook." --husbands use this lie most of the time, just not to hurt the feelings of his wife even the dish tastes awful.

"I enjoy every minute with you." --most guys say this to his girl even he's so bored to death in her presence.

"I'm a bit busy." --even im not busy on my work, i use this lie just to have an excuse to ignore PMs. hehehe!

"I had no other option." --men are so good at this excuse. you just need to look around, there's always an option, lots of it infact.

"The test is so easy." --teachers/professors always use this lie, they'll say its easy but the truth is the test will drain your brain. 

"I'll never cheat on you." --but he's texting someone else while he's saying this to you, ohh boys will be boys.

"I'm not mad at you." --but the real thing is, you're killing him/her in your imagination.

"I need to charge my phone, battery's getting drained...call you later." --you can never tell if his/her phone needs to recharge as you can't see it, but this is a nice excuse though.

"I believe you." --the truth is...you dont trust him/her and in the back of your mind, you'rethinking that he/she can't be trusted.

"I'm not lying." --yeah, maybe in few minutes, most person who always utter this one is the one who always lie. hehehe!

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
