I've heard and used quite a few lies from your list!<br />I probably tell some neccessary lies to my relatives when they give me gifts, such as "That vase is really nice."

If I know someone who has just a little more meat on her but is not obese or anything, if she asks me if she's fat, I'll tell her no.

One thing that I have been saying a lot lately is whenever my girls say, "I want that" about random things, I typically say, "I'll keep that in mind for your birthday/Christmas/nearest holiday." Even though it is true that they get some gifts, this has just turned into the catch all phrase for many of the random requests.Amanda Villagómezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119297811490732509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-64980622402117765612010-04-28T18:23:35.995-07:002010-04-28T18:23:35.995-07:00i lied to my mother that my husband has tattoos. ...i lied to my mother that my husband has tattoos. she thinks they're the mark of the beast. ha ha ha hope she doesn't read this blog.<br /><br />petrapetranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-63530292314293560412010-04-28T15:14:53.686-07:002010-04-28T15:14:53.686-07:00I'm not sure of a specific 'necessay lie&#...I'm not sure of a specific 'necessay lie' I've told recently. I'm sure that, throughout the years of school, I've said that I just forgot my homework at home, rather than saying that I didn't do it at all in order to not miss recess. Missing recess, to me, wasn't a huge deal, but it was embarrassing in front of the whole class. I guess that's a necessary lie. It's not very important, but it was necessary... at the time at least.

For my entire life I've hear things like, "just try it."<br /><br />I'm not trying to not like your food, but I know what I like, and I know what makes me gag. Literally gag. It's not pretty, and I can't control it.<br /><br />So, in order to avoid throwing up people's food that they spent a lot of time and effort making, or insulting them, or make the meal unpleasant, I started telling people that:<br /><br />I'm not that hungry after sitting in the car so long.<br /><br />I had a late lunch.<br /><br />I get heartburn very easily.nymfauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573887455015014792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-86332615751897049952010-04-28T12:06:56.517-07:002010-04-28T12:06:56.517-07:00Hmm...

And this wasn't really a lie, because he was awfully cute....and besides, I had to raise his self-esteem (because he'd been abandoned by his cat mom as a baby and had unresolved childhood trauma over that.)<br /><br />Not sure that counts, though...as it's possible my cat didn't understand English. (But surely he understood my tone of voice, right?)<br /><br />CaraCara Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930608028959652445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-28391781548572213492010-04-28T11:45:39.552-07:002010-04-28T11:45:39.552-07:00Great lies, Marley!
My most consistent necessary ...Great lies, Marley!<br /><br />My most consistent necessary lie has been for my kids. Over the years, periodically one would have an ear infection or need stitches, and we'd head off to Urgent Care. I was always asked: "Did you call your doctor's office for clearance for this visit?" That call would amount to about a 45 minute please-hold-until-someone-can help-you. And often, time was of the essence. So I simply lied and said yes. And never once was there any follow-up or did I have a problem!TinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-67220147048208383422010-04-28T11:08:01.612-07:002010-04-28T11:08:01.612-07:00A neccessary lie I have told.. hmm.. that's a ...A neccessary lie I have told.. hmm.. that's a hard one. This wasn't a good neccessary lie at all but one of my friends had been in a relationship for a very long time and she was truly, madly, deeply in love. One day out of the blue her boyfriend just breaks up with her. She was devastated. I knew I had a lot of work on my hands to try and mend her heart as much as a heart that just obliterated into a million pieces could be mended. I knew her boyfriend because we had a few mutual friends and of course because of my good friend. No sooner had I gotten home from tending to my friend that I had received an email from her ex-boyfriend (of not even 24 hours) telling me that he had had feelings for me for a long time and now that he was single he wanted to see where it could go between us.. I was floored.. let's just say I gave him a piece of my mind!!! When I saw my friend again the next day she asked me if I thought there was someone else that he had his eye on and I thought back to the email.. I knew I couldn't tell her so I lied and said of course not. It was an extremely neccessary lie, but it wasn't good.. she was just to emotionally spent for me to tell her the truth..AllisonPaige25https://www.blogger.com/profile/11765049688110182587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-79042964199586316652010-04-28T10:35:59.156-07:002010-04-28T10:35:59.156-07:00Lurrved the list of necessary lies you compiled :D...Lurrved the list of necessary lies you compiled :D<br /><br />Most overused 'necessary' lie for me:'It'll be okay'- even when I know that it won't.
