'You don't expect this level of dishonesty': Lying job-seeker humiliated during interview

Liar, liar, you won't be hired. Lying on your resume seems to be a really common tactic to get jobs. It seems to me like you're just adding another layer of stress to the already stressful interview process. But for many people, they see it as the only way to get their foot in the door at a company. It's a high-risk, high-reward type of game to play. Some folks lie about little things, like fudging their role at a company to make it seem like they were large and in charge. Others lie about bigg…

'[I] called someone out for their lie': Couple calls agency with bogus claim, call center rep shuts down their lies

This woman told a whopper of a lie, but she wasn't expecting to be called out . Customers learn their behaviors by reinforcement. While it might seem obvious to you to be pleasant to the person on the other end of a phone call , not everyone acts that way. Some folks have been conditioned to believe that the louder and more demanding they act towards customer service reps, the faster their problem will be solved. In reality, as call center workers will tell you, this is almost never the case. M…

'Call you as soon as I leave the ER': Contractor fakes injury using a photo from the internet to avoid working, gets fired

Contractors have a certain reputation, and while that might not be fair to all contractors and may have more to do with the complicated challenges of sourcing the correct materials in reasonable timeframes, this stereotype exists for a reason. Everyone has had that experience or knows someone who has had that experience with a contractor who repeatedly fails to meet deadlines, fails to communicate, and sometimes just plain fails to show up when everything is already ready to go. Some contractor…

'I have no interest': Guy makes up 'work emergency' to get out of a baby shower

'I have no interest [in] this baby': Guy makes up 'work emergency' lie to get out of a baby shower

At least this guy was honest, right? In a post to r/AmItheA**hole that I'm sure the OP regrets by now, this dude asked if he was wrong for the way he avoided going to a party . As u/Waste_Studio_2716 shared, he and his fiancée have been dating for two years, and he believes their relationship is going great. He doesn't know her family too well, since the OP and his fiancée are a five hour drive away from them. That could have changed when the couple was invited to a baby shower for the fiancée'…

'I'm sorry you doubted me': Employee's job offer gets revoked after they boldly lie to company during onboarding

It's never been harder to lie to your employer, thanks to the power of modern tech.

'He's blatantly lying and making me out to be the bad guy': Shady Older Brother Sabotages His Sibling's New Relationship, Betraying His Family and Keeping Secrets From His Own Wife

Brotherhood is a sacred relationship. Typically, that sort of bond can't be broken, nor would anyone risk damaging their brotherly relationship because of pettiness, mean insults, or least of all, because of a girl. Well, one man proved that brotherhood is not as sacred to some, because he pretty much threw his own biological brother under the bus , effectively ending his relationship with his long-time girlfriend, publicly shaming his drug rehabilitation, and driving a very large wedge between…

Snooping Mother-In-Law Gets Exposed With Decoy Key, Throws Tantrum

It's important to have privacy from your significant other's parents. It shouldn't have to come to trickery and shenanigans in order to catch a grown adult in a lie, but some people apparently have no goddamn rules, so things like this happen. Mom went and revealed that her emergency key didn't work, then had a full-on adult meltdown when she was caught in her lie. For some more mother-in-law wildness, here's the one who forcefully grabbed a grand-baby, then demanded an apology.
