lying

Lying customers are hellbent on ignoring the inevitable callouts from restaurant owners, when they take to their online review scribblings. They're hurting the image of the business, and people's ability to experience potentially kickass service and/or food. The vigilance of truth-defending restaurant owners is deeply appreciated in this case. 

In times of doubt, check the tapes. The internet is brimming with fake reviews, as well as wonderful responses from the companies themselves. What we haven't seen is someone give such a detailed, minute-by-minute account of the reviewer's visit. This is some very thorough destruction.

Writer, Nicole Cliffe, got real with people on Twitter and started something of a running confessional with fellow self-concerned liars who tried to get along in life, by stringing trusting people along with their web of lies. It's refreshing to see people using social media as a platform to confess on the BS, instead of being called out in a quityourbs kind of forum. And oh, we have plenty of those. 

We are masters at deceiving ourselves, and the weirdest part is we can so stubbornly overcommit to believing the lies we set out to tell that we actually start believing them. 

The real idiot was the dude who thought he'd get away with this. 

These people fell victim to the very web of lies they created. 

If you're going to lie about buying a house on Twitter, you'd better make sure you brag about it as well. I mean, you're already setting yourself up for Twitter's squad of Truth Warriors to come storming your throne of lies with sweet 'n honest justice, so f**k it, right? 

Life is full of attempts, large and small. Sometimes you're trying to make a good point in a friendly argument. Sometimes you're trying to make a wholesome PTA event. Sometimes you're just trying to look good. More times than you'd like, however, failure will follow.
