I Don't Want To Talk To You

from JoeUser Forums

While sitting in the truck stop this evening there was this one driver who pretty much lied about everything he talked about. After a few minutes I just couldn't take it any more and started questioning him about some of the stuff he was saying.

After catching him in several lies, like "it only takes me about a minute and a half to download a DVD" he started getting pissed and finally told me he didn't think he wanted to talk to me any more. I can't imagine why.

I can't even imagine what would cause someone to spout the kinds of lies this guy was telling. Pretty much everything he said was a lie, and I'm pretty sure the only reason the rest didn't ring as a lie was because it was about personal stuff I don't know about.

I just don't get this kind of people.

But we see them all the time. We even elected one president 16 years ago. Even when the truth will work, they feel a compulsion to lie.

I use to lie often when I was younger. I learned the hard way how bad that could be. Today I avoid telling lies unless it's absolutely necessary, you know for safety reasons, to avoid people or just to make something a bit more interesting where a lie won't really do harm (such as I killed 59 people with a snipergun in a row on my computer game)  ;) .

I have never really met a person who is a compulsive liar but have met people who tend to "extend" the truth to their benefits, but are often easily noticed.

Yeah, I don't know if he thought he was impressing people or what. When he got to the downloading an entire DVD in a minute and a half I just couldn't let it slide any longer.

I don't have a problem with a "tall tale" here and there, it's a trucker tradition, but this bone head lied about everything.

I think that these kind of people,  even when presented with the truth,  keep right on lying! 

Two things I can't tolerate,  thieves and liars.
