Does it bother you when a friend lies to someone else in front of you?

There is nothing wrong in that, u too should have joined your friend and said that u both worked on it...A man cannot be honest everytime and there is no such mistake in lying such small things, because it would bring some kinda happiness to your friend by that lie and that lie is not gonna affect anybody. I don't feel any wrong in that..A lie is considered as a lie when it hurts others by any means.. I have my friends lying to their parents in phone telling some wrong place they were but we would be in actually a cinema hall...rather i would tell the truth that im in cinema, because my parents would not tell me anything, because their parents are strict and that lie is necessary.. Cool...Take care

Generally in a situation like that I'd probably not call her out on it...simply becuase it would make her look bad BUT also make ME look juvinile and bad in the eyes of our sup...THAT SAID...generally I will call someone out on it (though again it would depend on the situation) either in front of the person they were lying to or later on between us..Why would I? Becuase quite frankly I DESPISE lying and liars...it just makes my skin crawl.

Ha ha I have seen this kind of thing happen a lot and I keep quiet in until the sup leaves so as not to embarass her and later I tell her that I think that was utter nonsense because if she gets caught in her lies, she is only making a fool of herself.

I would not make an issue of it but would ask her in private why she did that. She may have a convincing reason - what that reason could be beats me. Anyway it is her conscience and not mine but sadly there will surely be a dent in the friendship and it may snap one day.

hi,yes it seems very odd when we listen in front of us someone lies or hide the truth.It happens frequently because of many reasons.May be it the nature of the person or the situations or someother reason makes them do so.No one is perfect in this world.I know we do get hurt when it is really hurting .

Definitely it bother us because if he lie s to other in front of you there may be chances when he/she lies to you also.

I certainly can't stand that but its not like I would just tell the other person that my friend is lying. After all we are friends.. :/ The worst thing that could happen is that someone asks you to lie to someone for them. I'm fine with not telling the truth to someone for a friend but lying just like that is kinda too much for my taste..

It depends upon the situation. If my friend lies for a lighter purpose, then I would never mind that. If it's kind of lie like the one which you have mentioned now, I would never mind that and i'll simply laugh away abt it or mock my friend after that third person goes off and if my friend lies when the matter or incident is serious or grave, then I would definitely blast that person away.

yes it bothers me when my friend lies to someone in front of me... or if someone lies and i know the truth. what i do is i just shut my mouth off. i will just give the floor to my friend and he or she can say whatever he or she wants... i mean i don't want to be interfering with anybody's business even to a friend..

I know some people that do this loads and yup it does kind of bother me because i think im a pretty honest person. But to be honest it really depends how big a lie it is :)

All of us tell white lies, some more than others. Your friend is your friend because you care and love him/her. I would personally not get upset with my friend as long as her lie does not harm or hurt anyone else.

hie..yes i definitely bothers me if a friend of mine lies in front of me to whosoever, but what matters to me is that the friend has a habbit of lying and may lie about something to me or even that he/she may have been lying to me from the past and i am unaware of it. About the dress, if its the first time u have seen her lying then you need not report it to the higher authorities ,you can try sorting out the issue with your friend...ty

oh, it's really a question. When a friend lies to others in front of me, it really depents. If I think my friend is the most important and I believe it will not make any problem or misunderstanding, just ignore it. If the lie reach the bottom line inside of me, I will reconsider the one who lies to others really should be my friend.

In this kind of situation my reaction follows that of the sup. If the sup is happy of what he hears whether its a lie or not then nothing to worry about. Perhaps its just a trivial thing thats why your friend lied with no fear. When it comes to bigger issues then it is definitely wrong to tell a lie. Also your friend doesnt want the two of you to sound pathetic by letting the sup know that you didnt made the skirt and that you only bought it.

hello workinggene, Maybe your friend has one good reason for telling a lie. You can asks her later why she had to tell that. Maybe she wanted to impress you sup since she saw that,your sup really appreciate her costume(something like that) I know it's bad to tell a lie,even if how small it is(there is no scale to measure the weight of a sin..it's still a sin)and i know you are a bit discourage to hear your friend lie infront of you. You can talk to her and tell her it's not good to tell and let people believe in lie. It could be just one of an impulsive response that she did...just let her realize her mistake,not to do it again. Have a good day always

i really dont mind such stuffs. i might go like.."i made mine too! aint this cool?" lol. we often tend to make excuses and give false reasons to escape in certain situation, so its all cool. but im not sayin i will support them with all their lies, but im cool with these kinds of lies.

yes..some times it is nt at all agreed by us..bt the differnce in situations make us to tell lie with others.. so... may b she should nt do like dis..bt she did..so we cnt do ny thing..
