Apple may show your mouth to the
butthole of another attitude user Bob
life for this list we focused on those
everyday mostly harmless white lies that
were all guilty of telling from time to
time what about this gorgeous urban
myths aren’t included
nor are tooth fairies Easter bunnies or
Santa Clauses oh my god seeing it here I
know him and there’s no room for making
a political point or for controversial
scientific arguments come on quickly
number 10 my phone died
no matter how many times you’ve been
messaged called or just generally
contacted sometimes you just can’t be
bothered to reply there’s not usually an
exact reason why you can’t be bothered
you just can’t then you meet the person
you’ve been ignoring face-to-face and
suddenly your license week no I didn’t
see your text my phone’s been messing up
lately I think my cells been hacked by a
disembodied force no matter how you

answer my calls you change your number I
mean I’m not gonna be ignored Dan number
nine no that doesn’t make you look fat
oh my god what the hell is that D
weddings what was the theme humiliation
naturally not to many of us want to
offend anybody and least of all our
friends are you mocking me with that
outfit mark and you know I’m not mocking
you judge but when your pal values an
opinion and that opinions in relation to
how good or bad they look in an item of
clothing often the easiest thing to do
is lie nice by telling my toes it cool
no one wants their buddy to look bad
although when they’re stressing out over
the cut of their genes or the fit of
their frock then within reason the best
and easiest thing to do is tone down the
truth
when in doubt yeah that looks great on
you are probably the winning words I
don’t think this one’s too bad yes
fabulous really yeah number eight
I am never drinking again what’s up
captain last night evil and what I’m
missing a tooth I can’t oh ok so
hopefully this isn’t a lie we tell every
day but every so often we’ve all been
here 8 p.m. Friday you’ve got your first
drink in hand and there seem to be
endless fun-filled possibilities ahead
I’m never drinking 10 a.m. Saturday you
can’t move a muscle there’s vomit in
your hair and you’re really hoping that
you didn’t dirty dance with that hottie
from your work it’s then that you speak
these immortal words let’s never drink
again and we never did Ally passed down
through the ages it said with every
ounce of sincerity but ignored every
weekend you can never never ask me to
stop drinking
you understand number seven I can’t I
have a headache understand you tried to
collude yourself ask me anything
I’m telling about that I had a headache
probably one of the most commonplace on
today’s countdown whenever anybody’s
faced with the possibility of doing
anything they don’t want to do they
suddenly develop a headache now I’ve got
a headache it’s a universal lie don’t
fancy going to class headache class
dismissed
I have an enormous headache in my I want
to skip today’s gym session headache
you’re in a relationship but you’re just
not in the mood for snuggle time
headache
and if anybody challenges you then just
hike up the symptoms until they have to
take you seriously
works every time I have a headache it
might be a tumor it’s not a tumor number
six I’m sorry I’m busy that day
I mean you’re you get busy I’m bricks
you he wanted specimens
I do but I can’t patient Sharon when
making plans that you’ve absolutely no
intention of actually realizing this is
evasion at its easiest and it works
wonders until the person you’re trying
to avoid is frustratingly flexible with
their time now I just got a lot of stuff
going on some things I got to do
issues pending keep me pretty busy this
light also gets a little difficult to
maintain
if ever you’re pressed for the reason
why you’re busy under pressure you’ll
likely give the lamest reason you can
think of off the top of your head sucks
I’m going to be out of town you know
what diet is when is it Fri night time
you spoke at the same time I did just
then it’s almost like you’re committed
to saying what you were saying
regardless of what I was gonna say
unfortunately washing your hair just
isn’t a reasonable excuse in the real
world I figure I’d cut you a break and
give you the honor of going with the
best-looking guy in school yeah well I’m
busy yeah doing what washing my hair wow
that’s a bunch bunnies the screen door
on a battleship screen during a
submarine in dork
number five if you tell me I won’t get
mad okay I promise oh I stopped taking
the pill three months ago or in other
words I’m already mad so whatever you
say next isn’t gonna make the slightest
bit of difference a favorite for parents
when speaking to their children or for
couples in the midst of an argument it’s
an untruth that toes the line between
anger and rationality but almost always
falls into the former I’m as bad as hell
and I’m not going to take this anymore
words can be falsified but that furious
frantic I absolutely despise you right
now look in your eye can’t be there’s no
need to get angry it’s your fault
number four yeah I’m listening what are
you talking about I’m losing every
single word
got this down to a science we all say it
and sometimes we generally are but
usually our ear is away from the phone
or we’re checking social media online
shopping thinking about dinner anything
other than listening to whoever speaking
to us I can’t get out of this constant
rut that I’m feeling and I’m scared and
wait what dude are you like filing your
taxes it’s perfect
don’t even worry about it okay I’m
listening as long as there’s the dull
murmur of their continued speech then
all we need to do is answer with the
occasional yes no or I know what you
mean I want a parakeet generator totally
not even listening to me no I heard you
I just like but we don’t know what they
mean because we haven’t the foggiest
idea what they’re even talking about or
even that they’re still talking she has
told me I just found out so I’m a little
raw yes it’s Falcon well you’re not
listen hmm number three it’s not you
it’s me you’re giving me the it’s not
you it’s me routine I invented it’s not
you it’s me nobody tells me it’s them
not me if it’s anybody it’s me
Oh Seinfeld’s George Costanza claims to
have invented our third-placed fib and
it’s been a break-up standard for quite
some time it’s not you at all of course
it’s me you can’t say that you’re
breaking up with me it’s not it’s me I
don’t like you and me alive it’s been
proven as psychologically problematic
it’s delivered by the person within a
doomed relationship that’s directly
doing the dooming it doesn’t work that
way it doesn’t just make it better
personally shouldering the blame for the
break-up might sound gallant in your
head but this phrase just sounds lazy
when it’s out in the open
you think it’s only ever uttered in the
movies until that frightful day it’s
delivered to you there girl lying again
no it was you you’re just so predictable
smile number two I’m on my way oh yeah
um I’m away punctuality is just plain
impossible for some people and those
people are forever falling back onto
this fabrication when somebody says I’m
on my way it usually means
they’re just about to shower or they’re
finishing their breakfast or they’re not
even out of bed yet pretty important eat
no meat either way they’re never on
their way sometimes they put a precise
time frame on things I know I said it’d
be the five but I’m sitting in traffic
and my hands are tied so that’s on to
occupy you on getting back to you I’ll
be there in five minutes or ten or
fifteen but it only doubles the
disappointment when they’re two hours
late and they haven’t even showered
anyway oh man I can’t be late on the
first day before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions let’s keep in touch
yes let’s
I think I’m gonna call it a night uh I
gotta get an early start tomorrow are
you kidding
no thanks for dinner I don’t usually do
this but I felt compelled to tell you
something oh you have an absolutely
breathtaking heinie number one I’m fine
totally fine I don’t know why it’s
coming out all loud and squeaky cuz
really I’m fine fine has quickly
developed into a one word oxymoron
dictionary definitions for fine range
from the agreeable good or satisfactory
to the superlative high-quality or
admirable I’m fine Dean I can still go
out there I can still hunt really and
yet whenever it’s thrown into everyday
speech it usually means that something
is slightly or severely disagreeable
trust me everything’s gonna be fine
ask your partner how they are if they’re
fine then they’re anything but come on
man what’s wrong with you nothing I’m
fine so you really live like that yeah
cuz I’m bad seek praise from your boss
at work if you’re doing fine then you’re
not doing enough it’s fine to feel fine
just don’t say you’re feeling fine
because that’s not fine can you tell us
if they’ve been any fatalities nobody’s
dying at the moment everything’s fine
there have been some recent deaths due
to the major incident but that’s over
now and everything’s fine do you agree
